Installation difficulty: moderate. Requires multiple hubs (Caseta bridge + Zigbee hub). More complex initial setup. Aqara sensors need compatible hub. Higher upfront cost than WiFi-only kits
Minimal WiFi congestion—only 1 WiFi device. Zigbee mesh extends range without WiFi. Lutron RF is extremely reliable. Local storage camera reduces streaming bandwidth. Scales well—add more Zigbee sensors without WiFi impact
Limited expansion options
