Show Notes
We explore the hard limits of Zigbee networks, from the coordinator bottleneck to the physics of mesh routing. Learn why your smart home might be slower than you think, and what actually happens when you try to scale beyond 200 devices. Discover the difference between direct connections and network-wide capacity, and why adding more routers can sometimes make things worse.
