If I were to choose infrastructure today and only looked at the technology and stability I would choose Z-wave over Zigbee, WIFI and Matter any day.
But... The pricing on Z-wave devices is a showstopper and it will eventually kill it.
Yep, it's because of that proprietary and "every device must be licensed" nature of Z-wave that I use Zigbee devices - I'll pick an open platform everyday over a closed one, even if it has limitations.
