The demise of ZWave?

Was that with the current 3rd Reality Gen 3 device?

Yup, but alas…

New: Third Reality Power monitoring plug

I will correct the dividers in the next driver version. As this driver is aimed to non-standard Tuya plugs support, the dividers are not automatically retrieved from the device itself (not all Tuya models support this), but are hardcoded in the driver code. Can you confirm that your device model is 3RSP02028BZ ? This custom driver has Power on state configuration implemented for for Tuya plugs only, but it will not be a big effort to implement this for other models as well. Update: @velvetf…

@CuriousB

here seem to be a lot of happy Zigbee users (with large networks) on this forum. Generalizing one bad experience to all others seems dramatic.

There are also a lot of zwave users on this forum with large networks that are generally happy with their zwave networks. Dont you think generalizing the price difference between zwave and zigbee as the demise of a zwave to be overdramatic? In a world full of Corolla’s, the Camry still exists… at a price premium.

I’ve purchased both bad zwave and zigbee devices but with zwave i know the device is following much stricter standards and that has value to me and i am normally happy to pay the zwave premium, and i’m not the only one.

Now If there is going to be a demise of zwave… Texas Instruments recently bought out silicone labs and not all products survive acquisitions. zwave 900 should be out in the next couple of years, so we’ll see.
