I use a VeraLite hub for two purposes: (1) to talk to z-wave things, and (2) because it provides one API for thousands of devices. Not everything will work with

  Is there a significant lag between calling an action and it taking place? I've got a wink hub and it's hilariously slow at running scripted events. For example I have it set to lower the bulbs over our kitchen table, bring up bulb over the sink and then dim a lamp at 7pm when we normally sit down for dinner. In theory this sounds like it'd be neat but it just dramatically drops the light output and takes about 20 seconds to go from one bulb to the next.

    No, it's nearly instant most of the time with the wifi stuff (WeMo light switches, Nest, etc). My z-wave door lock sometimes lags a few seconds, but I blame that more on the protocol than anything. I exclusively use the hub for its API; I don't know if the built-in UI would have any lag when executing scenes created through that.
