Okay so I think my general question is answered. I kinda figured the camera system was a long shot without WiFi. Next question is, is the Hubitat a good hub for both zwave and zigbee? I think some of the stuff I mentioned like HUE lights run on the Zigbee system. But I guess I don't want everything running off of Zigbee in case I do get internet in the future. Also will I still be able to set schedules on smart switches and do stuff like that without WiFi?

Smart home with no WIFI@tunnus so I don't need WiFi then. Out of the 2 what is better? Zigbee or Zwave?

Smart home with no WIFI@therealdb soo long story short yes you need a WiFi network? I just wasn't sure because I read something about Zigbee and Zwave being able to talk to each other and if you had a hub they worked even better without WiFi. Just wasn't sure what to think.

Smart home with no WIFISo I live out in a rural area and there are no good internet providers besides Hughesnet, or using a mobile hotspot. My question is can you have a home network witha hub nut no wifi? I mainly would just want a few smart light switches, maybe a RGB Phillips HUE light here and there, and maybe even a camarea to watch my driveway and send me alerts when someone is there (while I'm there obviously) because we can't see our driveway from our living room. Was just curious to see if this would be possible or not. Our Verizon mobile hotspot works great while we are able to monitor it but sometimes it randomly shuts off even when it is plugged in. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
