I think I have 4 lights left to switch over 2 plugins, my Z-Wave relay, and one GE switch. I got my front door lock working. A few more issues. For my basement lights, they are only turning on and off from the app, not if I press the switch. Also when they turn on they are about 75% brightness level even though they show 100% in the devices.
Could you describe this in more detail? What kind of bulbs? And what kind of switch?

The bulbs are 2 Ge zigbee bulbs and 2 of the osram zigbee bulbs. They are both dim-able. They both work fine from the app except the not coming back on at 100% brightness. The switch they are working with is that go control switch. Which is also working from the app. And it does control the hardwired light that is directly connected to it. It does not control the 4 basement lights 2 ge and 2 osram when pressing the physical switch
Ah. Can you post a screen shot of the automation you are using for this?
That looks right and should do what you want.
What level do the device pages for each of the bulbs show when the automation is run?
Edit:
@scotnemily - you may also wish to create a bulb group for these 4 bulbs (and use the group device in your automation).
Ok I will try to make a group. Another thing, how do I set the life360 connector to unlock my door when I enter an area? I am not finding a way to do this under the apps
I don't use the life360 connector. But if it is a presence sensor, you would do it based on the sensor being "Present" or "Not Present". I don't know if SA permits that, but RM definitely does.
Sorry I am not sure what SA or RM is. 
lol ok figured it out
Life360 is treated as a presence sensor, just like the built in presence in the apps.
We use Life360

If you have trouble finding a minimote then a Z-Stick works nicely as well..
Plus you can can pair it with HE as a secondary controller and use it to get rid of "ghost devices" if that ever occurs..

Another thing I am trying to do it set lights to come on when the door is unlocked if it is after sunset and before sunrise. I can set times too if needed. I am not finding a way to add these type of conditions though.
Never mind I found it kept trying new skills and rule machine....
Look under restriction. The rule I posted uses sunset and sunrise I just didn't show it
Not sure about the lock as I don't use them

You can do this using Rule Machine (RM).

Thank you @erktrek. Looked and could not find Minimote for sale or on the Aeotec site. Did find Z-Stick and suspected it is the replacement.
Much appreciated
