I swear, I'm done with Wi,Fi devices.

Every single one is "local", until it randomly goes offline for absolutely no reason. Then you spend hours checking DHCP, static IPs, mDNS, firmware updates, router settings, rebooting everything, and somehow it's magically fixed... until next week.

The funny part? My Zigbee devices (not battery powered) just sit there quietly doing their job. No drama. No random disconnects. No "Device unavailable". No Wi,Fi congestion. They just work.

At this point I'm replacing every Wi,Fi device with Zigbee as it dies.

The hell with Wi,Fi. Zigbee is faster, more reliable, and doesn't make me question my life choices at 2 AM.

I freaking love Zigbee. ❤️
