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 I do find #HomeAssistant a bit disappointing so far. Its ability to bridge weird ecosystems is amazing but it can fail opaquely to do some of the simplest things.
@toonie @BenHM3 examples?
