I just had the Dutch system Klik aan klik uit (kaku), both the old and the new units. Those 2 versions are incompatible and this way I can use both. I used just the new system, but with adding the old units as well I can now make nicer scenes. (turn lights on in a natural 'entering the room' order and turn them off the other way around, mimicking leaving the same room.
I'm just messing about as well and I don't want to use wifi, that's why I'm half looking at zugbee. (And Ikea uses that system, so I guess it'll be available for a while)
I was worried about drowning out my network with Wi-Fi devices but I don't want to invest in Z-Wave or Zigbee unless Thread falls through. Here's to hoping ๐ค
Here it's just rf433 for now. No need for more (apart from messing around with new stuff). As far as I understand Zigbee doesn't use wifi, but it can be in the 2.4 GHz band.
