After a relatively short period, I decided to leave wifi-driven devices because the array of vendor apps it took to manage it was driving me crazy. Prior to that, I'd been watching Vera and Smartthings but they moved further and further AWAY from local. Someone on reddit mentioned HE as a new-sh device that was local only. The local problem was solved, but I was unfamiliar with the protocols and -particularly- the mesh. Given the size of my house, I first thought that the stronger zwave would be the best way to go. But I kept seeing knowledgeable members here posting about exclusion problems, motion detector lag, moving zw devices, etc. Meanwhile, the zigbee guys were all playing cards and drinking beer (a.k.a. no problems). The debate still goes on; see post after this one
So I built out my zigbee mesh. My zigbee HE has been rock-solid. So much so, that sometimes weeks go by without me even looking at a dashboard.

I see FS stuff posted in the Lounge fairly frequently.
