If you succeed, how do you plan to handle ZigBee or Zwave connections? I'm a bit unhappy with my ZigBee dongle remaining a single point of failure.
I don't have any zigbee devices at the moment, but I was looking into network based ones... not sure if I can have 2 of those? (Again, no zigbee expirence yet to know the options)

From everything I've seen, the networked ones are never recommended over USB dongles.
Oh, interesting. From a performance point of view, or reliability?
I don't know personally. But I'd assume it would be from ease of use and reliability.
You could probably get something close to a networked zigbee dongle by running zigbee2mqtt on a pi with a USB dongle and run nothing else on it. It would potentially make restoring it in a failure easier.
Hmm... good point. I've even got an original Pi kicking around somewhere that I could use... Thanks
