Move Away from Z-Wave #48

Closed ntilley905 closed 3 years ago

ntilley905 commented 3 years ago

Although the HA developers do appear to be making moves towards long term stability of the Z-Wave Environment, all of my components keep breaking in various ways. The latest component to bite the dust is my Radio Thermostat CT100, which will no longer update in HA. I've decided it's worth it at this point to start moving to alternatives. I'm planning to use WiFi for any devices that use mains power, and I'm looking into Zigbee for battery powered devices, although I haven't made any purchases yet.

Ordered some Shelly Dimmers and a CT50 WiFi thermostat to replace the last light switches on Z-Wave as well as my non-functioning thermostat. Last components left will be my Zooz sensors and Ecolink door sensors, plus an Ecolink Firefighter monitoring my smoke detectors. All of those are currently functioning except for one of the Ecolink door sensors, so no rush in replacing them.

This isn't realistic unfortunately. But, everything seems to have calmed down (instead of the front door sensor which is still dead). Closing for now, will reevaluate in the future.
