I'm a little the same way. It's taken me a while to get them to a point where I can release them though. I'll probably post them in github at least. I'll continue this discussion with you in a pm so I don't clutter the thread.

If you're ever willing to take a crack at getting one of these to work, I'd send you the one I have. It pairs to HE just fine but no driver = no capturing events.
Stoked to see ZEN21 and 23's listed above, I've got 8-10 of them here in the house and like the idea of more flexibility with them

Dan, I also have a 910 with the original “HomeConnect” zwave (non plus) card in it. It updates its status instantly, both from digital commands and manual control. Has always worked flawlessly. In my quest to upgrade my non plus devices to zwave plus I bought a newer plus version of the card for it, but it exhibits the same issues you’re talking about. I’ve gone back to the original card because I have routines that are triggered when the lock is unlocked manually. I’d be interested in seeing if something can be figured out with this. And I also want to thank @bcopeland for his excellent work. Just put the HS100+ motion sensor driver in use. Going to look through my box of random devices to see if I can find a driver challenge!

Are the ring keypads (v1 or v2) actually capable of being paired with hubitat? I thought I remember reading something a while back that there was something unique with them that prevented them from pairing. Not sure if I’m misremembering though..

If you expect that to pile up, you should file as a 501c3 not-for-profit, keep records of all your purchases toward that end and donate the products when you're done.

They can pair but they will be difficult or impossible for most to use right now with the current state of our hubs not supporting Smart Inclusion or S2 and being horrible at including LSS roled devices. I'm nearly 100% positive the keypads are FLiRS devices. I can pair them to ST easily but on HE they only pair when forced into an "island" situation where they pair to a beaming repeater. It is probably the same issue that people who can't pair Z-Wave locks to HE are having. Incidentally, the Ring Motion Detector 2nd Gen definitely falls in this category as well. I was able to get it to pair about 3 out of 30 or more attempts. When it did pair successfully it paired unsuccessfully according to the LED indicator initially but somehow started responding after a few minutes anyway. They are a real pain.
My repository has an updated driver for the extender 1st and 2nd gen, contact sensor 1st and 2nd gen and motion sensor (separated into two drivers) if anybody is looking to use the 2nd gen devices now.

I was thinking of filing my ha stuff as independent contractor.. Then the stuff I buy for dev work will be business expenses

At that point .. I should be able to show a big loss.. 
I spent $600 on ring parts so far, for dev work.. Haven't used any of it personally yet..

Do you already do other work that you report as an independent contractor with a 1099 for income taxes?

No.. Not currently.. I have in the past
I posted this in the previous thread, but it seems like the conversation has moved to this one, so I'll copy/paste it here as well.
My thermostat is a Trane XL850. I'm pretty much locked into it because it's proprietary. I would love to switch to Ecobee, but I digress. I am new to the Zwave world (only have 5 devices so far) so I don't know much about it, but apparently the thermostat has a built-in Nexia Hub.
I actually have the thermostat added to HE, but it just shows as a device and doesn't seem to do much or respond to anything. I tried the Generic Z-Wave Thermostat driver with no success. This is what shows in the data field for the device in case that's helpful.
- deviceType: 21560
- inClusters: 0x86,0x98,0x21,0x72
- deviceId: 13616
- manufacturer: 139
fingerprint mfr:"008B", prod:"5438", deviceId:"3530", inClusters:"0x86,0x98,0x21,0x72"
I assume (maybe wrongly) that even if the device is non-functional for me, that by including it in HE it will at least act as a repeater.
I realize your system is currently configured to use ComfortLink, but does it have to be? Do you have a variable speed furnace, a variable speed outdoor compressor, or both?

Both. It's a Trane communicating system. It technically doesn't have to be, but then it'll function as just a standard 2 stage system.

Interesting.. it's wifi and z-wave.. 
Yeah, I have it connected to my wifi currently and I can use the Nexia app to control it. I can create automations in the Nexia app and use IFTTT to trigger them. So I can control it through HE if I wanted (have not currently set it up to do so though), but it would be nice to have the communication be local and not have to rely on 2 separate cloud servers.
We've had issues with the thermostat ever since we got it, and if you look around on the Internet, there's lot of people with the same problem. If I had known getting a variable speed system would lock me into a certain thermostat, I would have looked around for the most efficient 2-stage system instead and used something like an Ecobee.
The issue is that it consistently shows the indoor temp as warmer than it actually is, so the AC doesn't shut off until it gets well below what the temperature is set to. There's several threads about it on forums if you google something like "trane xl 850 runs hot". One prevailing theory is that the wifi chip generates enough heat that it messes with the thermostat. Some people have said that when they disable wifi, it works correctly. But that defeats one of the purposes of having a smart thermostat.
I plan on building up my zwave network with some devices that can also report temperature, and then I can just use those to trigger turning the AC on or off.
EDIT: The automations I can currently create are a little limited. For example, I can't create one to "lower the temp by 2 degrees" and trigger it when the oven turns on. I have to create a "profile" and give it a set temperature value and then I can trigger that profile to run. So if the temp is currently 74 and the automation is set to 74, nothing changes. Even if I set it up in HE using IFTTT, that won't change. This is the main reason I'd like zwave control. I think it would be possible to have more control.

Thanks for pointing me to that! There is a long Sengled Dimmer thread on here somewhere (not the one you linked to) where it appeared there was no hope. Loaded up the driver you linked to and bam, a useful device!
