Went all out and decided to spend a few more minutes on this...
Moved the hub downstairs away from other wifi and phones etc, now everything works perfectly.
Love this thing for its simplicity yet capability.
I get an alert on my phone now whenever someone comes or goes in the front door too, no more late housekeeper...

$100 for the hub and $35 for each wall switch for lights, outlets, motion sensors... $200 for front door lock.
Search Z-Wave on Amazon.

My daughter gave me an Alexa for Christmas and 2 wink relays and wemo switches. Got all installed and synced with my nest. Stuff is pretty cool.

Installing my second wave of z-wave "stuff" tomorrow. Waiting on the SmartThings 2nd gen hub from Amazon which comes tomorrow. Already received 3 door sensors (these are super cool and the only ones I would even consider), 3 sensors for motion, light, temperature and humidity , a siren (also cool when used with a Smartapps device handler) and 2 z-wave garage openers. These openers I'm excited I found because I priced out buying the relays and wireless components separately about a year ago and what I found totaled $185/door. With these kits it was $150.00 for both.
Stay tuned ......
