do either the CT-30 or the CT-80 support the Zigbee specifications out of the box? or is there a separate module to purchase?

My CT-80 came with a USNAP Wi-Fi module; this seems to be the way it is usually sold. Smarthome.com advertises it also to work with USNAP Z-Wave and Zigbee modules. I have found only a few sources selling those modules, usually for under $15. My impression is that they are no longer being manufactured.

Mine had a Realtek RTL8188CUS, but beware that they may change the chip without notice. BTW, I could never get mine to work with Linux, even though Linux saw the device and it seemed to work, I could never get it to connect to a wireless access port.

I have the First Alert ZCOMBO detectors and they work great with SmartThings. You can pick them up from Lowes.

Absolutely, but does not work with zigbee ... Z Wave only! Just remember to exclude Yale then include. This may take a moment or two since it uses encryption. In order to use the Yale in conjunction with home Security, one would have to create a scene. I'd recommend PLEG plugin for creating both simple and elaborate scenes. Yale door lock is definitely on the pricey side but I have zero regrets, love it and works like a champ! Hope this helps... Also search MiCasaVerde forums as there answers to nearly all questions you have or haven't thought of.

I would suggest installing the software called HomeGenie. It's free open source software that is great for projects like home automation and home security using Z-Wave devices.

Unfortunately, no. The hub provides the brains to communicate to the individual sensor. Without a hub (either the SmartThings hub, or another one that supports the Zigbee protocol), the sensor has no way of communicating its data to you.

I unfortunately had issues with the remote function. My 1st one worked well, until I dropped it on floor/carpet. It did not require line of sight. My replacement & 3rd unit remote did not work at all. I recently purchased a CTC 43055 Digital Thermostat 1H/1C Non-Programmable with Remote Control. It works very well, but range is limited to approx. 50-60 ft & functions thru walls.

There's a python API for the lights here: https://github.com/therivenman/pygop , and a Java control here: http://home.stockmopar.com/connected-by-tcp-unofficial-api/ . Neither is official, but I used the Python API to connect the lights to my Nest fire alarm through IFTTT and it works fine. With scripting, you can likely connect the lights to about anything. I believe you still need the gateway to relay the commands to the actual bulbs though.

This unit communicates with the main unit as any of the wireless sensors do. In other words, you need a main unit such as the unit featured in the system 80-649-3N-XT - GE SIMON XT WIRELESS Security System available through Amazon. I just looked as the systems and did a quick scan and came up with the one mentioned. You may be able to find separate units and put together what you want. The unit that you are asking about is only a second way to control the main unit.

Some monitoring companies such as those aligned with Alarm.com can do a wireless firmware upgrade (mine did) which is required if your main control panel is on a different firmware than the TS-1. Likewise, the TS-1 and Control panel need to be on a more current version of the firmware - 1.9 I believe so requesting an update is advisable anyway.

Probably. It depends on the device. It will work with most Z Wave and Zigbee based devices. Wink supports these too and some additional types of wireless things that are not supported by ST.

Yes it has one zwave module. I just put batteries in it and linked it to myADT pulse system. Took 2 minutes. It's been working great for 3 months. Just bought another one for my upstairs system

Yes, the open/close sensor is compatible with other hub devices besides the Insteon Hub (INSTEON 2242-222 Hub). Whatever hub/controller device you choose still has to be compatible with the Insteon protocol, as the sensor only knows how to talk "Insteon", not Z-Wave or WiFi. Examples of other home automation hubs/controllers are the ISY994i and the Mi Casa Verde VeraLite. The Smarthings Hub is NOT compatible with this, as it only works with WiFi, Zigbee, and Z-Wave devices.

This one cannot. You need to look for Zigbee specific sensors. Amazon doesn't appear to sell these.

C.T. Wallace is correct. I had the same problem, and then synced while wired, and *bing* - it found my BDT-320 and works nicely. (A lot better than the crap remote it comes with that you can't see in the dark.)

Sorry, I use it with WiFi and monitor remotely via internet. I have not idea if this would work with Z Wave protocol.

If your comfortably skilled at circuit work, then yes.Far more cost and time efficient to get one with the CT already set up for remote mounting...... It possible that you could splice/extend hot wire to reach?
