Where to start with buying devices in Canada

Hello there from a fellow Canuck!

I'd like to recommend (playing to Hubitat's strengths), the following:

  1. Stick with inexpensive Zigbee sensors. They are fast, inexpensive, and if you stick with Zigbee 3.0, you shouldn't have any issue with them. I recommend the usual Chinese websites for this purpose (e.g. aliexpress, baggood, etc.).
  2. Stick with Zwave Plus devices for lights. Available from AAretech, Amazon, PrimeCables, etc.
  3. For locks, I've had no issue with zwave plus, but many others swear by Zigbee locks (Schlage, Yale, etc.). I purchased mine from Amazon.

Best of luck.
