Switch recommendations for new house

I’m one who had Z-wave mesh issues when I had 90% Z-wave devices (all Z-wave Plus mains powered).

Life got better when I swapped out a few Z-wave devices for Zigbee.

There’s no real reason, IMO, to put all your eggs in one basket. Mix brands up. That way you won’t relive your current issue if there’s a flaw in one brand.

I’ve mostly got Zooz ZEN27 and ZEN26 dimmers and switches. But also have half a dozen Levitons and several GE/Jasco. I try not to mix brands in a single multi-gang box only so that the LEDs all look the same. :grinning:

Just went to The Smartest House to look into that bulk discount, and they are having a sale for the next 4 days, half off their Zooz z-wave switches. Seems like a good time for me to buy about 100 of them!
