I think the discussion about the z-wave difference between z-net, either with a daughter board or UZB, z-stick is a mis-directed discussion. Technically they are the same and must comply with the same standards. HST only offer z-net in a number of countries with UZB rather than daughter boards. You can also make your own z-net like configured device. https://forums.homeseer.com/forum/ho...4?postcount=60
However, the points made about z-net or location is very important and I know you have asked about similar previously. The core is the z-way is the mesh network but is limited by the number of hops and traffic. Z-way devices can be rather chatty and Configuring devices to only broadcast what you want could assist reducing communication traffic.
Optimising should be against a central device but of course this would not optimise battery devices and you’ve already addressed this in your previous questions/responses. Hence integrated security systems can provide better results in a lot of circumstances as they communicate direct to a panel over longer ranges.
