And it has to be the horrible, congested and overused 2.4 GHz band.
They would need to double the costs to accommodate both 2.4GHz and 5Ghz bands if they choose the latter for backwards compatibility with electronics.
…which is why we shouldn’t be using WiFi for IoT devices when we have Zigbee and Z-Wave. I’ll never know why they’ll insist on using the more expensive and always changing WiFi standard.
This is 1st time hearing about ZigBee and Z-wave. How would they work with existing electronics?
The manufacturer would have had to have already installed a radio for either of the two. Another downside would be having to have a gateway device for either.
Philips hue uses Zigbee (the hub they give you is a Zigbee gateway). I’m also into the Aqara ecosystem which uses the two as well.
