I like ZigBee for Home-Automation

Hardware from many different manufacturers, all compatible with each other.

- Philips
- Ikea
- Sonoff
- Xiaomi

No proprietary bridges, no cloud, no vendor lock-in. Just some free and open source software (Zigbee2MQTT / Home Assistant) and a tiny USB dongle (ConBee II) as a network coordinator.

All meshing nicely and every grid-powered device effectively extends my network's range by relaying datagrams.
