Zwave works great. Ppl harp on it because it's not 'open' - yet there is an open source interface library, products from dozens of vendors interoperate great, there are many choices in software to drive it (open source and commercial with more features). Meanwhile the 'open' alternatives like zigbee don't interoperate at all (in practise), and that is if you can buy products that use it at all; and now there is this hue debacle. I never got what people like about hue at all; is it that they are just screw in and don't need further setup? Home automation is so much more than turning the lights on and off with your phone. That's trivial. It was clear from the start that hue would be very narrow in application. (I'll admit though that using lights to follow what's on the tv is cool, and not available in any other system I know of)
