> Zwave 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.
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.
