Has anybody successfully integrated BI with a zwave hub? There seem to be a couple products that advertise the capability but based on some initial research fall short in actual implementation. The Homeseer S6 was one I looked at.

there are threads on vera and samsung
The Vera looks promising. I have an older Interlogix alarm system and have scheduled an upgrade which adds cellular connection and zwave control capability through alarm.com with smartphone interfaces. Benefit is I can remotely arm/disarm and check status of all entry sensors. They are also going to drop some trigger wires for me to connect to NVR. Problem is I can't customize this and interoperability is very limited with other systems. I am considering adding a separate zwave hub to control thermostats lights etc and interact with BI.
How would you like to integrate it? For HomeSeer there is BlueIris plug-in. Via plug-in you you get notification of BI triggers and such. What you are going to do with these notifications is up to you. You can turn porch lights on (via HomeSeer's Z-Wave plug-in) when BI triggers motion alert. You can sound siren if it's Z-Wave/WiFi/etc. enabled. You can do so many things that only imagination and budget are limit.
