Hello fellow smart home enthusiasts! 
I’m thrilled to share my journey of setting up a mesh network in my 2300sq ft home. As a new user with the C-7 Hubitat hub, I’ve been exploring how to create a reliable and efficient mesh network to cover all areas of my house, including the garage and basement. 
After reading some documentation and watching videos, I’ve learned that the placement of the hub is crucial. I’ve decided to keep it on the first floor near the WiFi access point to ensure optimal coverage. But now I’m curious—what are the best, wallet-friendly devices to build this mesh network? I’ve heard about ZigBee and mesh networking, but I’m still unsure about the best setup. 
I’d love to hear your recommendations on devices that work well with Hubitat and can cover my home effectively. Also, any tips on troubleshooting or ensuring seamless connectivity would be invaluable! 
Let’s collaborate and make my smart home vision a reality!
