I prefer zwave/zigbee to keep the wifi less cluttered

Just double check that your Zigbee channel doesn't overlap your 2.4Ghz wifi channel, otherwise Zigbee will clutter the wifi. It's a common issue! You should use either wifi channel 1 and Zigbee channel 25, or wifi channel 11 and Zigbee channel 11. Wifi channel 6 isn't recommended when using Zigbee.

    I'll be honest that I'm real lazy on this and just let the wifi controller choose whatever it thinks is most sane (which hopefully accounts for neighbors and stuff as well). It re-scans nightly and moves if it needs to.

    But I have 55 z-wave devices and 12 zigbee... So it should be readily apparent that I don't have to worry that much about it.

    Zigbee is basically all Vindstyrkas (5x, one per bedroom and on in the "Great" room) and outdoor philips light fixtures (6x). But that's why I was interested and looked at this product. I have so many Vindstyrkas that I was curious if there was something better out there.
