  • The exception here would be ESP32 devices. These have been some of the most reliable devices in my home and the most versatile, no Internet access required. Zigbee works well, but runs in the same frequency space as wifi and Bluetooth. Matter and thread are the new hotness and run in that space too. They all work well together, but something to consider. Z Wave is in a separate frequency space, but is a less open protocol. I have at least a few of all of these and they all play nice. Consider your priorities and choose what’s best for your application.









  • You might want to have your ABS system repaired if it’s locking your brakes. It’s supposed to do the opposite and not allow them to lock. If the ABS is activating it’s because you’re not following your own advice and maintaining control. You’ve put yourself in a situation where the traction required to execute your stopping maneuver exceeds the traction available and it’s doing everything it can to save you from your poor decision. If you’re a professional performance driver, you might be able to beat ABS with threshold breaking, but that’s essentially what ABS is simulating. Get yourself some good snow tires and follow at a greater distance. No ABS needed.
