I see the ease of creating virtual devices and using them in events to control other devices. This all makes sense using virtual devices to trigger a series of events (scenes) which are HS3 creations.
However, the word "scene" in zwave world to me is different than scenes (events) in the HS world. It is a series of taps to trigger certain actions on devices. This is very confusing to me as I can create a scene in PLUG-INS > Z-Wave > Scene Management but then what? I don't see how an event can trigger a z-wave scene. And, I don't even see how I can "attach" a deployed scene to a set of button taps on a controller. In theory I can create a z-wave scene and deploy it without any HS3 intervention. Yes? No?
To make matters worse, there's the new "link" devices which works very well, but that's an HS3 thing not a zwave thing.
