what are you looking for with the devices/protocols?
everything i read on zwave (or zigbee) is at specific home automation hub websites. i've learned a bit on specific zwave devices and setting them up through home-assistant or smartthings forums.
for devices, i just troll amazon or aeon labs to see what new devices are out there.
the other problem is mostly the non-tech crowd are drawn more to wifi devices. until the companies promote the ease of installation for zwave devices (zigbee is too picky as far as interoperability), i don't see zwave getting to be mainstream.

i fricking hate this. i want to move to 100% local control and zwave allows me in theory to be completely off the grid. wifi implies API by definition and will never be part of a holistic HA solution because the only way you can control it from a 3rd party 'hub' is by allowing access to the API via interwebez.
