Looking to build a new network. Was convienced to use the inovelli switches over the Lutron. Currently bought 5 red dimmers and 3 blue fans (not offered in red). My main question is as I build this out would it be more beneficial to mix blues and reds in order to flesh out the network more (idk how many of any repeaters I’ll have so would like to strengthen it as much as possible) or is it better to just stick with the reds throughout and occasional blues where I have a fan.

    I believe red is Z-Wave and blue is ZigBee. They are they separate protocols.

    Any reds add to the strength of the Z-Wave mesh and any blues add to the strength of the ZigBee network.

    So if you want both to be stronger, then add a mixture of each in strategic locations so you can get to the farthest devices from your hub.
