I’ve been watching a lot of your content lately and I’m surprised you’re from OKC too! I never knew about that eco electronics place, definitely gonna have to check it out!
The main difference between Z-wave and Zigbee is the radio frequency: Z-wave is sub GHz, which keeps them in a different part of the spectrum from Wifi and Bluetooth, while Zigbee operates in the 2.4GHz spectrum, so the same as bluetooth and standard band wifi, a very crowded part of spectrum.
The biggest issue with Z-wave, being a Z-wave evangelist, is that manufacturers are giving up on making new Z-wave devices… they’re getting rarer and rarer to find, but when you do, they work so well.
So you just bought smart bulbs and installed them.
Will admit, that segway to the sponsor was smooth
