Thanks for that advice on the Hubitat. I had just looked at their list of supported devices and thought it was interesting that they didn’t have Schlage on there. They are sold out right now so it doesn’t look like I am going to buy one of those.

OK. Thanks. I am going to look at the other hubs. Hubitat, I doesn’t appear to support Schlage locks. I remember when I looked at Homeseer about 10 years ago, it was a windows based product. This may have changed. The HomeSeer products sure look nice now. It is probably between that and the Zwaveme. The Zwaveme doesn’t look as polished of a web page but...
I like that Homeseer has been around for so long and they say their product works with dozens of zwave devices.

The devices I am most concerned about are:

Evolve - LFM-20 (not Zwave Plus)
Fortrezz WV-01 water cutoff (Not Zwave plus)
Schlage locks Zwave plus and older versions
First alert Zwave smoke detectors.

and to a lesser extent but it would be nice
Aeotec SmartEnergy Switch (their first generation one that is big. I believe it was Aeon labs DSC06106-ZWUS)

I assume they will all work with the GE light switches.
Plus, I want it to have an OS X app

I did the whole network neighbor update and it didn’t work. I am going to try replacing that thermostat tomorrow. It could just be defective I didn’t like that it didn’t show the neighbors when I first paired it. I would have expected it to that since the other thermostats shows its neighbors. . What I don’t know if it it the other thermostat showed them right away. One of the big problems with Vera is they just aren’t very transparent on what the controller is doing and/or what works and doesn't work. I wish they had a system were you could see all the reported bugs so you don’t waste hours trying to debug something that will never work. I wasted a lot of time with my new Schlage Zwave Plus lock. Vera had to give me a beta release to fix it. - I am going to look at your reviews of the different hubs. I want to look at Hubitat and open source Home Assistant. - Vera is especially bad with older non-Zwave + devices. Are these other hubs OK with that? I don’t want to have to replace all my switches and I have an expensive water cutoff. The Vera gives strange errors for the water cutoff. Plus, they have the notifications wrong. When I turn the water off, it tells me I turns it on. Thanks again.

Thank you again for all your help.
This shouldn’t be rocket science. This system only has approximately 11 devices. Although, more than half of them are batteries. 2 locks, 3 smoke detectors, 2 thermostats, 4 light switches. I made sure the light switches were evenly spaced so I would get a good mesh network of devices that always had power. I just did the system wide network neighbor update. Keeping my fingers crossed. I guess if this doesn’t work, I am going to swap out this thermostat. I didn’t like that this thermostat didn’t show its neighbor even when I paired it. The other thermostat shows it. None of the smoke detectors (Zwave Plus) show the network neighbors. I noticed the locks that are also Zwave plus don’t show neighbors. - I am not sure if that is a Vera issue or a Zwave issue. Clearly some battery devices show the neighbors so you would think they all would. I wish Zwave was more strict on making manufacturers implement al the zwave features. It has gotten better since Zwave plus but still not perfect. Friends that have Lutron products love it. They say it works 100% of the time.

I am not sure. It is the Radio Thermostat CT100. It isn’t Zwave Plus.

Like you said, since it is always ready to accept commands to change the temperature, I suspect it is.

I liked the user interface and that is why I chose it. Plus, this location doesn’t have a C wire so I had to do battery. It definitely works better if you have a C wire and can then pair it without batteries.

I tried doing what you said and it didn’t work. What bugs me is I even did the update neighbors on the device that is unreachable gave me a “success.” Clearly, it wasn’t a success because the device is not even reachable so it couldn’t even try.

Any other suggestions? Should I try doing a update network neighbors in the Zwave settings on the controller for the whole system?
I spoke to a tech support person on Friday and told me there is no way to update the network neighbors and the system does it automatically at 1 or 2 am.
I question if that was really accurate. Again, if it was, the they should remove update network neighbor options from the UI on all the devices and in the Zwave setting for the controller.
So frustrating because these things are difficult to change. They need to rename the product Almost.

Does update neighbors even work anymore with the individual devices? I select the individual device (light switch). The Device Options -> Update Neighbors. It says that it is updating them but I am not seeing anything on top of the UI.
In Settings -> Logs -> I have Show Polling and Show Individual Jobs checked.

The device I am adding is a CT100 battery operated thermostat. I moved my controller close to it when I paired it. I wonder if I should have did the update network neighbors on the close switched before I moved my controller back to its normal place in the house. As soon as I moved the controller, the thermostat was no longer reachable.

This what bothers me about Vera. There is no clear directions or even an FAQ on how to fix things. They shouldn’t allow you to edit neighbors if it does nothing. How hard would it be for them to remove the edit function on that one line of the UI! It could be such a great product if they would simply make a few changes.

Thank you for responding. It is frustrating that Vera either gives you an error when you select something on the UI that is no longer supported and/or they even allow you to do it when it isn’t supported.

On the device that is currently unreachable, the error on the UI is, “Can’t Detect Device.” Am I suppose to trigger the node update on the device I can’t reach on that specific device or under Settings -> Zwave settings -> Advanced -> Update Neighbor Nodes?

On all the devices, under Advanced -> Neighbors, there is an edit button on the UI. What does this do if anything if I edit the Neighbors on the device I can’t reach or on a device really close to the device the controller can reach? My plan was to manually tell a device that the controller can’t reach who isn’t neighbors were or a device the controller can reach put in the device that is currently unreachable.
