Let me further explain what I'm trying to do. I want to use the motion detection feature in the Blue Iris camera software to send a command to turn on the flood lights. The capabilities of the cameras and the software is way better than any home automation device I could buy. I've seen different ways of sending the command. The reason I mentioned the ethernet is that I could plug in a smart things hub and a GE switch. Set that as a secondary zwave node and control it that way. I've just never done this before and wondered if there is a better way. Thanks.
