    This is 1st time hearing about ZigBee and Z-wave. How would they work with existing electronics?

      The manufacturer would have had to have already installed a radio for either of the two. Another downside would be having to have a gateway device for either.

      Philips hue uses Zigbee (the hub they give you is a Zigbee gateway). I’m also into the Aqara ecosystem which uses the two as well.
