Wifi or Zigbee switches? I want to install some smart switches but don't know which is better for me. 


Answer: 

It depends on how many smart devices you are planning to install.

If the number of smart devices ( Mobile phones, computers, tablets, security cameras, lights, switches.) is under 10, then Wifi lights and switches will be a good option for you. If you have a slightly bigger Home automation project, then it's better to choose the Zigbee lights and switches. 

The reasons are, Wifi signal has very limited in range compared to Zigbee mesh, the interference and delay may occur while a smart Wifi device is placed in an environment with the low-quality Wifi signal, it happens more frequently when the number of smart Wifi device adds up.

While Zigbee smart device offers much more stable signal in a wider range, a Zigbee Bridge might be costly, but it is reliable in a way of allowing a smart Zigbee device to maintain routing task as scheduled even your Wifi and internet is down.    

So, again, if you just want to play around with some new tech for fun, obviously, wifi is a cheap and easy option.

While we talking about building up a reliable home automation system or a personalised IFTTT responding system, Zigbee smart gadgets are the way to go.
