Zooz and z-wave are so under rated. Glad I stumbled into both on my home automation journey. :)

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Agreed. It’s quality stuff

There is a driver for home assistant to share data with Control4 no hub required. Also control4 will be moving to pure zigbee 3.0

so annoying how so much is on 2.4ghz. pulled my hair out this week fixing my aqara doorbell cam dropping. only way i fixed it was by adding another access point with the aqara cam being the only device on a new 2.4 network. yall got any tips on extending the range of the hue hub so my hue lights are more responsive?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Hue works on a mesh network so adding another hue device between the hue bridge and the bulbs you are struggling with should help.

[@thomasjefferson3552]

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 would any other hue device work?i have a bunch of hue bulbs but no repeaters?

[@DIYSmartHomeGuy1]

Hue bulbs should act as repeaters. Hue smart plugs will also work. Battery powered hue devices like motion sensors are not repeaters

[@thomasjefferson3552]

@@DIYSmartHomeGuy1 interesting. i wonder if plugs carry the signal better. just bought a plug to test god bless merry xmas

[@mitchelle245]

Have you looked at your channels for both Zigbee and WiFi. There are good articles about managing the channels to minimize interference if you haven’t.

Every time I see someone complaining about interoperability between ecosystems, they are never using home assistant. These issues for the most part just do not exist within HA.
