Bought into the Home Assistant + Z-Wave ecosystem (because I have need heavy
duty electrical switches for my heating), and I am surprised how well it works.
The responsiveness of a switching action from my smartphone feels nearly
immediate.
Also very happy with the range, it works in my cellar for controlling the water
heater, where WiFi is not available.

And I mean, look how small the plugs are.
Floor heating is now smart, as well.
I now have real-time power consumption via directly from our power-meter.
... which shows up in Home Assistant. Very nice to get an overview over the
consumption.
Had to turn off the @tibber_norge pulse
sensor on my @home_assistant running on a
raspberry pi 3 b+ because that was too much data to handle for the Pi and/or the
SD card. It became unresponsive. However real-time consumption data is not
needed for automation any way.
