I’ve been diving into the world of smart home automation and am really excited about the potential of Zigbee devices. After reading through several threads, it seems like many folks are using Lutron or Z-Wave switches, but I’m curious about Zigbee options. I’ve come across Jasco/Enbrighten switches, but I’d love to hear more about people’s experiences with them. Are there other reliable Zigbee switch brands that I should consider? I’d prefer to stick with one solid mesh network rather than managing two separate systems, so any insights would be super helpful!
Another thing I’m pondering is where to shop for these devices. With so many options on Amazon, it’s a bit overwhelming for someone just starting out. I’d appreciate recommendations for smaller vendors with a curated selection of quality products. If anyone has found a go-to store or resource, please share!
I’m also curious about the reliability of Zigbee networks compared to Z-Wave. From what I’ve read, Zigbee is supposed to be more reliable, but I’d love to hear firsthand experiences. Have others noticed a difference in performance or ease of setup? Any tips for ensuring a smooth installation would be great too!
Lastly, I’m thinking about future-proofing my setup. With the growing number of Zigbee devices, it would be awesome to build a system that can easily expand as I add more gadgets. Any advice on choosing switches that will work well with a variety of Zigbee devices would be fantastic!
Looking forward to hearing everyone’s thoughts and experiences!
