I've been using Z-wave devices since 2017 for the following:

1. Dimmer lighting 2. Door sensors 3. Relays to customize radiant flooring better than thermostats 4. Seasonal lighting (outdoor string lights/Christmas tree) 5. Thermostat

Overall it's been a good experience, however I think the SmartThings app is a pain in the butt and should be a much better experience.
