    As devil’s advocate, I have had loads of trouble with only 3 devices.

    For example, my Fibaro smart CO meter absolutely killed itself after 3 weeks of use, draining 100% battery in 2 days with 0 human interaction.

    In theory it is good, but many devices are absolute shitty trash (especially for a safety device) at 4x the cost of ZigBee.

      I’ve had 0 issues with wired zwave gear and nothing but problems with battery powered stuff. I haven’t tried any battery powered shit in a while to be fair though.

        Yeah I use ZWave for all the in-wall dimmers and switches. I have a zwave 4in1 sensor that has always been rock solid too but that’s the only one battery powered. even more than the zigbee stuff.
