Going to start fresh with #HomeAutomation at the new place. Going to go back to #HomeAssistant but keeping my expectations low.

Here's the question:
#Zwave or #Zigbee ? I have a lot of Zwave hardware, but I'll need new stuff.

I will have to communicate with and inside an all-metal barn (only about 20' away). Until I get ethernet in there, I'm going to have to be sneaky with anything wireless.

@BenHM3 If you have current Z-Wave devices, I'd consider Z-Wave for old stuff, Matter for new stuff that supports it, falling back to Z-Wave for devices that don't have a good Matter option yet. One nice thing about the ZBT-2 is it can be flashed for either Zigbee or Matter. (But you would have to pick one at some point.)
