Z-Wave Integration - Orbi Wifi System

Reference using Z-Wave with Orbi Systems.  Went to the Netgear Support and they said post the question here.  So, does anyone know if Netgear will eventually be able to link Z-wave devices with the Orbi System.

 

I like the idea of a mesh wifi, since I am fighting dead spots and I currently have two wifi routers (one is a bridge) to give me coverage.  That will be a discussion on the Orbi System.

      I have several items (locks and doorbells) operating on Z-wave and just wanted to know if they will eventually be picked up with the Orbi.  There are some products that have it planned to allow full access.

        If you want mesh wifi and home automation in the same unit, the only mesh router I know of is the Samsung Connect Home system, it has a Smartthings hub built in, and all that goes with that.
