> Lutron Clear Connect is great, but it’s not even a standard within Lutron. It’s a whole bunch of things, often wildly incompatible with each other. At least most of their stuff is compatible with Pico. Yeah, what I was trying to get at was specifically their Caseta line with 433 MHz Clear Connect (and not their more expensive solutions, which are also great, but a completely different tier). > But I’m surprised you put Z-Wave above Zigbee. I was a late-comer to Z-Wave, so I haven't used anything below Z-Wave 800 devices, and it's been solid for me, though I've been very judicious in the quality of devices I pick up, and am careful with device configuration to limit chatter, which can wreck Z-Wave networks. Zigbee has also been solid for me - the real upside for me with Z-Wave is simply the better range/reduced interference of 900 MHz vs 2.4 GHz. > I haven’t used Zigbee and Thread much, but my understanding is that Zigbee’s mesh should expect much lower latency than Z-Wave, and that Thread is even better. And Thread can supposedly sort-of-transparently use Ethernet backhaul to extend the mesh. Sadly the Thread ecosystem appears to be a mess. Thread's been pretty good for me too - but again, I'm pretty careful about devices. I use ethernet-connected Apple TVs on each floor of my house for the backhaul and don't have any thread devices that aren't also HomeKit compatible.
