Why is this an issue? Z-Wave is a mesh network, all hardwired switches/outlets/etc. are repeaters by default.

What is "low volt?" 12-24V? I have this in my kitchen using a 110V -> 24V dimmable LED PSU and a Z-Wave triac dimmer.
Zigbee is not Z-Wave - Z-Wave has far more definition and structure to available devices and can do everything Lutron can do at this point.
- holoduke 2y agoZwave is a proprietary protocol. Its old and unnecessary complex. Zigbee devices are a lot cheaper. And in many cases better performing than zwave mesh networks. A few years ago you still had zwave devices you did not have zigbee variants for. But now? Cant think of one.

That’s not entirely correct. Zwave is more expensive because if you want to sell your zwave solution there’s a monopoly on zwave. Nothing to do with complexity or age. As for “better performing”, I don’t even know how to respond. Latency? Reliability? Power? Bandwidth? Zwave in general is better then zigbee due to lower frequencies and staying out of WiFi/bt. However it is more expensive and less options.
