I see a lot of posts about people who like their Zigbee and Z-Wave products. As I’m setting up the hardware in my home, I’m using Wi-Fi products because I already have Wi-Fi. I don’t see much difference in price. What is the actual benefit of setting up a separate network for home devices? Is there a reason that I should consider setting up one of these networks?
Totally agree. There is no way a zigbee or zwave can phone home. Somebody pointed this out earlier and I just hadn’t put any thought into that aspect.
