Shadow, 8 months ago (edited 7 hours ago) Zwave is a closed standard and all your components will be slightly more expensive and harder to buy. Zigbee is much more open, plus maybe threads will become a big thing one day. I only use zwave for legacy reasons, I’ve been using it since before zigbee was a thing and I still have a handful of devices on it. IKEA is a good source of cheap zigbee components to play with.
