Looking to start adding some smart switches into my house. Looking at using the lightwave kit. What are your pros and cons of the kit?

Note that the GE switches require neutral. They just released a WiFi switch which works on a non-neutral circuit, but the Z-Wave line hasn't been updated yet.

I have had two sets of these - they both died when I had a power outage where other switches were fine. Zooz or Innovelli

@hinder, the GE ZW+ or gen 2 QUICKFIT? I’m in FL and in the years I’ve used them we’ve had multiple power outages and hurricanes and still going strong.
