Z-wave Home Mate

Bought a baldwin z wave deadbolt thinking I could have a smart lock. I use myQ for garage and it works great! This requires a “gateway” not even sure what that is but I assume it is a smart home hub (I don’t have one nor do I plan to get one) this feature was a major selling point to me but it is useless.

How about ANY semblance of a user interface NOT written in alien mongoloid and limited to four ambiguous data points; maybe a brief tutorial; and most importantly a description in that AppStore that clearly states you’re NOT going to be adding any switches, dimmers or other most frequently bought Seaver’s devices, but instead using this to configure a monitored/security scenario for one or rooms. It’s great if that’s what you’re looking for, but would be a huge time-saver and certainly not provoke such agitated reveries and rating from users that download expecting a cleaner, quicker way to add basic devices to their smart homes.

Bought the light switch. Decided to install it while sick as a dog. It doesn’t turn on as the directions say it does after wired. Sit down to try and install the app. Little direction as to what to do. Directions are little help. Read the fine print on the box. It says the switch works with compatible gateways. Guess I need to buy a gateway. The app isn’t considered the gateway. Wonder how much more this will cost me.
