The Smart Home Device Compatibility Checklist

The 10-point pre-purchase checklist, the radio cheat sheet, and the first-week reliability test — buy devices that work together, not another app.

• The 10 questions to answer before any smart device goes in the cart
• The radio cheat sheet: Wi-Fi vs. Thread vs. Zigbee vs. Z-Wave vs. Bluetooth, honestly compared
• The first-week reliability test (including the 10-minute internet-off check)
• The compatibility traps: two-mesh homes, subscription surprises, orphan brands
• A worked example: the same $400 spent two ways — four apps vs. one system
