ArsTechnica: I was wrong to ignore Zigbee and Z-Wave. They’re the best part of my smart home. (arstechnica.com)

I've had 0 issues with wired zwave gear and nothing but problems with battery powered stuff. I haven't tried any battery powered shit in a while to be fair though.

Yeah I use ZWave for all the in-wall dimmers and switches. I have a zwave 4in1 sensor that has always been rock solid too but that's the only one battery powered. even more than the zigbee stuff.
