Dean, reminder about this...   
This device is very cool, and an inexpensive end result!!!   
 
We will need a "backdoor" to send direct commands to the unit as it has some pre-built lighting fun like police car flashing lights, fireplace, storm, the next 2 cycle colors deep fade, lite fade.
From SmartThings it is controllable by Google Home very well, have not figure out how to get Alexa to work, a simple scan for new devices like with GH didn't work. It appears that Alexa is not picking up my Z-Wave switch devices, hmmm...
I'm finishing up the wiring today (as soon as it stops raining) on the lighting I installed on my deck this Saturday.  I'll post install, parts, technical detail, some pictures and maybe a video on my User Systems thread this week sometime (weather permitting
)
Thanks!
