Should you use Zigbee, Z-Wave, or Matter in your smart home?
Picking a smart home standard can lead to a decision paralysis if you believe that smart devices can function seamlessly.
It all starts with trying out a smart TV or smart lights. Soon, you'll find smart speakers, smart plugs, smart switches, and smart locks. Like many, I have a hodgepodge of smart devices in my home. Now, I have a hard time making them all work together. That's because smart devices use different wireless protocols for IoT devices, such as Zigbee and Z-Wave. Neither protocol is interoperable, and their devices do not communicate with each other.
