I agree with billmeeks comment. Through my research, trying and failing, experimenting, testing, you name it; I have learned more about the smarthome industry, its products and technologies simply by doing. This "hands on" approach, as with many other hands on skills like learning how to code on your own, in my opinion is the best way to learn. A coworker of mine started asking me the other day about smarthome automation, and I went off rambling for the next ten minutes about Zwave, Zigbee, Lutron Clear Connect, WiFi - he looked at me like I had five heads. I laughed at myself with a bit of pride: it's all because I've done a ton of reading and touching. I've successfully migrated 99% of my devices from Wink to Hubitat about 3 weeks ago. Now that my Zwave mesh is working perfectly, I know that saving the Schlage lock for this weekend was the correct approach. I have 2 Zwave light switches right next to my front door so hopefully I won't run into any issues. If I do, I know I can rely on this community. If you haven't already, check out this thread below:
