Wifi Home automation

Post by Calzor Suzay »

Hi,

Does anyone know what devices (brands) for home automation, i.e. plugs, light switches, sensors etc use WiFi as their protocol?

I'm currently using 433Mhz for a lot of stuff and have range issues but my WiFi signal is really strong everywhere so might port devices as I replace them over to this.
So far only Wemo & TP Link seems to have WiFi devices, anyone else?

I use hue bulbs. While each bulb isn't wifi, each bulb does act as a repeater/ range extender.

I believe most zwave devices also act as range extenders too.
running domoticz 3.4834 on rpi2, with
Hue bridge / bulbs.
lightwave rf sockets, mood controlers, sensors & contacts.
Home bridge / Siri.
Ha bridge / echo Alexa.
Hard wired alarm system - setting home / away status.

Next: harmony hub.

Nope HUE is not Wifi, the bridge does have a Wifi ui...
The Hue works with Zigbee.

Zwave is quite pricey and as said I don't think they're wifi but do boost their own signals though.
