I'm new to Z-Wave, does this connect directly to Wi-Fi? Or do I need a gateway/hub? I have seen nothing on their website. Thanks!

A gateway/hub is needed to remotely control the Smart Strip. There are many great ones on Amazon like the the Vera, Smart Things, and Aeotec makes a USB based one (but you need a computer to operate.

This uses only Z-wave, no wifi or other protocol. You must have a z wave controller. Veralite is the best solution although other hubs work with wave.

This is a zwave device, not wifi, so you need a z-wave controller with which to pair it. I use the Veralite. (http://www.amazon.com/Mi-Casa-Verde-VeraLite-Controller/dp/B007005364) After paring it gives you four individually-controllable sockets, with yet a 5th logical device that switches ALL switchable sockets on/off. There are also two other sockets that are not switchable/always on for a total of six sockets. It pairs with a zwave controller just like this single socket zwave device would: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007UZH7B8.

Yes, you have to a controlling hub. It might work with other Z-Wave hubs but it's intended to be used with the SmartThings hub

this unit does not have any kind of input or output connections in the back, there is a ipod dock for the older generation i-phone/touch family, also this unit will connect to your regular router, no need for apple router(airport express). i have installed airfoil for windows on my laptop and it works great, the laptop and this unit have to be on the same unit to talk to each other. if the other reviewer is talking about the shiny chrome input jack above the power jack --it is a fm antenna input and not a speaker out

I have a Gateway PC. All I did was plug my little adapter in and it recieved wi fi from 2 dfferent wi fi modems, mine and my sons next door. If you have to password for the modem, it works. I didn't even use the cd. And they are differet name brand modems.

You connect the gateway directly to your router with an ethernet cable. The wall control is not plugged into an ethernet jack so you should be fine.

Actually what Im trying to figure out is how to actually connect to that wifi connection. HOw do I hook up to it with my PC? Or do I actually need something to plug into my laptop that picks up the signal. Im not sure if the tiny laptop I have will automatically pick up a wifi signal if there is one in the area, or If I have to buy some kind of device to hook up to it. And if I need a device, I wouldnt even begin to know what Im looking for.

Yes. I had no issues connecting these to my Smart Things hub. I simply went to the add device screen, and pulled the plastic tab on the back of the sensor, waited a few seconds, and it appeared under &lt;Other Devices&gt; as a Z-Wave Door/Window Sensor.

With Netgear's firmware, there is no option to set this device up in this way (as a wireless access port). I found this disappointing as thats what I bought it to do. However, if you install dd-wrt instead of Netgear's firmware, then you have a lot more options -- including the ability to use the EX6200 as a dual band Wireless Access Port. In fact, it works much better than the EX6100 (which I purchased when the EX6200 did not work as I intended). Fortunately I have a friend who is willing to buy my slightly used EX6100.

There is a wireless push button remote available for it. Search Ebay and you will find it. I do not think it is Z-Wave compatible.

No; this is not a Z-Wave device. This is a ZigBee device - I believe it conforms to the ZigBee Home Automation standard but I'm not 100% sure.

IAW specification, Wi-Fi is optional. I don't expect it and thus I use RJ45 connector for internet connection. I never looked it and tested it whether it came with Wi-Fi. The best way to know is to ask the supplier.

No, it uses Insteon radio signals. You would need some kind of Insteon to Z-wave bridge in order to have it work with Z-wave devices

You need a z-wave hub for it to work doesn't have to be smart things. It will need a hub to tell it's been triggered

Yes. Call Front Point and they will walk you through how to connect through Zwave. Takes five minutes to connect.

Your z-wave door-window switch sends its open/closed status to a z-wave hub, also called a controller. The hub then can do something about the new status, such as turn on a light, set off an alarm, or send a msg to you. Most hubs also need to be attached to the internet to get you a message or to let you control things. So, the hub/controller is the middle man in the sending and receiving setup. switch<--->hub<--->router<--->computer/smartphone/tablet.

I just received mine the other day, it's a self contained unit the router model number and password pop up on your tv when it's plugged in, use these once you've downloaded the EZcast app to gain access, the dongle creates a wifi network that links to your computer and mobile device. The firmware in the dongle is updatable and that runs the programming. you also need a semi smart phone to interact with it (I have a 4G LTE, it's not that smart but the app works if ignore the system update warnings) it works with streaming videos, not seamlessly, but watchable and transmits the sound well. My attempts at sharing the screen while playing games on steam have failed so far. While I'm give advise I might as well add that getting a 'L' HDMI extender plug might be worth it, the media beam dongle sticks horizontally out of the back of the flat screen, reducing the screens ability to be flat. (protrudes an extra 10 cm now) hope that helps

I am going to answer this here, since it's typical of me to browse questions before reviews and comments on reviews. After reading those, I see the answer is: NO. This is NOT Z-Wave compliant technology. It is only for use with some other system.
