I am planning on wiring my house with ZWave and OpenHAB. Anyone have any experience doing this? Does it work well?

- ellisv 7y agoZigBee has worked much better than Zwave for me.
- abstractbarista 7y agoI have 40+ ZWave+ devices and they work great with Home Assistant. From lights to fans to all kinds of sensors, the mesh network seems to have good range and latency (as long as your controller isn't really close to interference). Definitely don't use older ZWave devices, only ZWave Plus certified ones. This ensures the network is fully encrypted and allows for greater range and throughput. My next fun project is automating the watering of pots and the garden. Going to combine a ZWave-controlled solenoid with drip irrigation and some Home Assistant smart logic (daily rain, sun hours, humidity, temperature) to handle it.
