thinking about the zwave plus energy monitor plug, but the first link that came up when I googled zwave vs zwave plus states:

Quote :
The range of devices relies heavily on other devices in the network. If you are using a mix of Z-Wave Plus and existing devices you will not see the increase in range offered by Z-Wave Plus.
If you have a complete Z-Wave Plus system, where every device is of the new Gen5 variety, then you wouldn't have any issues. They would work together seamlessly (better than any Z-Wave system so far), and you would get all the benefits that the new features offer such as extended battery life, much longer range and increased bandwidth. However, this is probably not the way you'll initially use them - you'll use them with existing Z-Wave devices, sensors and controllers based on the 300-series and 400-series Z-Wave chips. This is where you need to be a little careful.

no one else mentions this, is this true? In my setup, I have a mix of Zigbee, regular zwave, and wifi devices connected to my Smartthings hub

TBH you probably don't need that great of range unless you have a house with a rather large footprint.

How big is your setup? I have a mix of devices and I have 100% total mesh (every device reaches other devices) in a 2450sq ft home. The farthest I've placed devices from each other was roughly 100 feet and I had no issues with lost commands (at my old house, I had a kitchen switch which was the nearest device to my outbuilding).

As far as I know, there are no downsides to having a mixture. Z-Wave Plus devices will have extended range and better battery life. Period. Just because you have some regular Z-Wave devices doesn't mean it will cost a ZWP device battery or range.

I think what is trying to be conveyed on vesternet is that a single Z-Wave Plus device won't propagate its benefits to other devices in any way.

Of course it relies on other Z-Wave Plus devices; it's a mesh network. A battery-powered sensor will not increase the range of the network in any way. If that's your concern, neither will older Z-Wave battery-powered sensors. The only benefit is when using wired Z-Wave Plus devices.

In my concrete house, range leaves a lot to be desired.I can have a switch 20 feet from my controller and it will get lost. I have an outdoor switch with direct line of site to the controller less than 50 feet away and it gets lost a lot, too. That one sucks, because it's the one I have connected to my electric gate.

Any comments on the two different door/window sensors? Both are zwave+, one with AA battery, the other with CR123A bettery.

I' having a new house built and will be adding numerous smart home things once I move in. I want to get this door sensor to activate my walk in closet light when the door is opened, and turn off the light when the door is shut. My question is this, what would give a faster light turn on, using this z-wave sensor with another z-wave light switch, or using a lutron light switch that will be connected to the lutron bridge. I plan on using lutron switches for the rest of the house, or at least the majority of it, but I'm trying to avoid a delay if possible. I will be adding a Samsung smartthings hub as the center of the system.
