ZigBee vs WiFi

ZigBee is a low-power mesh with hub; WiFi goes direct to router. For switches, sensors and locks ZigBee is stabler and scales better. Cameras and speakers need WiFi bandwidth. Hoomino usually recommends hybrid: ZigBee automation, WiFi media.

ZigBee

Up to 65k nodes, mesh hops, batteries last years, response <100ms. Needs Orvibo/Tuya hub.

WiFi

Easy setup, high bandwidth, higher power. ~30–50 devices per router limit.

Hoomino choice

ZigBee: switches, sensors, locks, thermostats. WiFi: cameras, players, some bulbs. Matter will bridge both.
