I’m a big believer in both Zwave and Zigbee. Both have their pros and cons. Zwave in my opinion is a better technology because of the lack of interference and it propagates further/wider due to being a lower frequency.

There are a lot of possible use cases, from a security camera monitor to light/room controls and even media controls.| Random Musings

At the time I made my purchase, it was unique in that it had the ability to use remote sensors.| Random Musings
