Not sure if this belongs in the z-wave forum, but I'm putting it here for now.
I am interested in using Indigo as it sounds like the right approach. Unfortunately, my first attempt was a FAIL as I bought a Schlage Z-wave lock and a Z-Stick S2 and I now see that Indigo doesn't support that combination unless I use a Vera bridge and buy more hardware, which seems like a pointless and expensive approach. I posted the error on the Z-Wave area but I'm not optimistic I can get that working.
I had heard that Z-Wave is the up and coming technology and thought that since Indigo supports the S2 I should be able to get things working the best. It's turning out to be a headache.
My question is, to get a working deadbolt, a few lights, and a garage door opener relay working, should I ditch my z-wave dongle and deadbolt and switch to something else? What do people recommend to a newbie?
Thanks!
