I agree, the wink hub already ships with something like 5 different radios. Also this doesn't look like it supports mesh networking. What advantages does it offer over z-wave or zigbee? And will it be better than Insteon's or Lurton's protocols?



It supports IP, which is a nice benefit for interoperability and standalone usage (it doesn't require a "smart" hub that understands all of the protocols).


But it does require a bunch of smart apps that can speak the language for each device you toss on the network.


LoRa mesh networking, not too many details but it appears to be possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdejQkTdC6o
