"content": "So I went with Matter WiFi switches instead of Z-wave, Zigbee, or Thread switches. I'm not sure I made the right choice, but the buy-in to get enough coverage to make any low-power network work would've been prohibitively expensive. That said, there's a massive downside in that any battery-powered smart device just isn't going to work, which means getting smart switches that aren't wired is a bit more difficult.\n\nMeh. :meowshrug: Aside from the power consumption, I think I made the right choice.\n\nSide note: We *do* have Hue lights so I could've used them as the backbone of a Zigbee network, but I think my family would be utterly lost if I got rid of the Hue app by moving all the lights off of the bridge and onto the Home Assistant server. :meowdizzy:\n\n#HomeAutomation #HomeAssitant #Matter",
