Is this acceptable for my Schlage z-wave lock and my hubitat device? I see the mention of Hubitat in this offering and it says "change device type" and what does this mean??? My Hubitat unit is C-5
Thank you...
Kenneth
Should work. The Ring Extender will probably not work with a C5.

Now, I am back to square one because I have a C-5.
What next???

No, you're not. The Ring Extender probably won't work, but everything else we've discussed above should (as should most Z-Wave devices due to forwards and backwards compatibility; some Ring devices are just a bit odd).

Not sure what you mean? Aaiyar said that outlet
Have you seen the List of Compatible Devices | Hubitat Documentation list? Surely there is something in that list that is wall powered and Z-wave that will work for you.

I wasn't paying attention to that (as usual) I often forget in my zeal to help people about the ring stuff and the C5. For the c5 an Aeotec 6 or 7 should do.

Not necessarily. Line of sight to a human doesn’t always equate to effective propagation of radio signals in a z-wave mesh (in theory it should, but that assumes things that are usually only true in a testing lab, rarely in the real world).
An outlet that’s fairly close by to the lock, but not too far from the hub, is an inexact but acceptable general rule.

Thank you all...
I purchased the EVALOGIK ZW36 Z-Wave Smart Plug to act as a repeater and it seems to do the trick as I was able to do what I wanted to without encountering that darned message.
It was a learning experience for me and I want to profusely thank all for putting up with my efforts.
Have a great week and HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
