My (maybe incorrect) understanding is that Zigbee devices can't independently pair with each other, so if you want a particular switch to control a particular light you still need some sort of controller to be operating even if it's on your own local network. This is better than requiring Internet access, but a notable reliability downgrade from normal light switches unless your controller is 100% bulletproof.
- Muromec 2y agoYou can pair zigbee switch to a light without a hub, it just works
- stavros 2y agoSure, but we're comparing other smart home setups to Zigbee, not Zigbee to old-style wall switches. However, you can also pair Zigbee switches to other Zigbee devices directly (although I've never tried it).

You can bind clusters from several devices together, I have a couple of such devices. For example, you can bind a two wall light switches together. The problem is that the UI for it is typically hidden and/or absent.
