Oh it’s definitely easier if it’s on Wi-Fi. I mean, ask 20 people on the street if they even know what zigby is and you’re gonna get 20 blank stares.

But for people who are into this type of thing either to regain control of their networks, to optimize their networks, or both - it’s objectively the better choice in most ways other than easy mode adoption.

Personally I have a TON of small Wi-Fi devices that are constantly transmitting (cheap interior cameras for keeping an eye on pets all over the house - all my security cameras are hard wired) so I try to limit new Wi-Fi traffic onto the net if I can help it.
