Anyway to bridge with Z-wave

[velezf]

Does anyone have an idea on a way to bridge this system with Zwave systems components? 

I've intentionally built two separate systems based on the Z-wave protocol from a monitored GE Simon XTi panel. This system controls critical components such as a monitored alarm, door locks, a few lights, and thermostat in a supported user friendly fashion the family can use. 

The wireless tag/kumo system I set up as an experimental monitor and notification system. This I use for logging usage and environmental data and an "alarm" of sorts for open access areas like the shed, green house, pool gate, backyard entrance gates, etc. that are still used by others when the house is armed and secured. 

There are times when I would like the Z-wave to be able to use the tags. For example to set the thermostat based on a particular remote tag. In this use case I want the Z-wave thermostat to use the tag temp data. Any idea if this is possible? 

...Im thinking I may need a smart things hub?

Im using the Honeywell YTH8320ZW1007/U Z-Wave Enabled Programmable Thermostat with a GE Simon XTi panel that acts as the hub.

I am new to both the wireless sensor tags and considering expanding into some home automation. FWIW I would very much like to have a way to integrate the sensor data from my tags (and script output from the kumoapps) into a z-wave controller. It is one thing to have integration with a particular thermostat, quite another to be able to use a more general home controller. I was looking at the Vera z-wave controller. It looks like others have exerted a lot of effort to integrate this controller from IFTTT (i.e. having events pushed into the controller) without success. Native integration between the wireless tag / kumo system and a controller would obviously be much preferred.

I was able to bridge the wireless tags with a Honeywell thermostat using a Vera 3 controller and the wireless tag's URL calling. The basic setup was:

1. I have a wireless tag named "Master Bedroom", it is set to monitor temperature and the high and low temps are set accordingly.

2. On the Vera, I created a virtual switch called "Master Bedroom Too Hot".

3. On the Vera, I created a scene called "Master Too Hot" which turns the virtual switch on.

4. On the Vera, I created another scene called "Master Returned Normal" which turns the virtual switch off.
Note: each of the above scenes has its own local URL that, when called, executes the scene.

5. In the Master Bedroom tag's URL Calling settings, I set "When temperature is too high" to the address of the "Master Too Hot" scene and I set "When temperature returns to normal" to the URL of the "Master Returned Normal" scene.
Note: at this point, when the temperature at the tag is too high, the virtual switch turns on. When the temp returns to normal, the virtual switch turns off.

6. I then created a scene on the Vera that sets the thermostat to 65 degrees F. This scene is triggered when the virtual switch turns on.

7. Last, I created a scene on the Vera that sets the thermostat to 85 degrees F. This scene is triggered when the virtual switch turns off.

That's it. It was fairly simple to set up and worked quite well.

FWIW... I use Indigo Home Automation software on a dedicated Mac Mini, using INSTEON and Z-Wave devices.

I'm using a python script to get the values I need from my tags (1 temp, 5 moisture ). 

I poll the tags as needed and use their values to skip sprinkler if enough moisture, etc.

Works well. Since the tags are not quite as mission critical as a door lock would be the having to go to the cloud is not bad. 

Response from the cloud is very good.
