The only thing TP links apps require a "server" for is if you want to interact with the switch when outside of your network, which is the same limitation with z-wave/zigbee hubs.
The main technical/cost difference is that z-wave and zigbee use well defined protocols that manufacturers license, which makes using them with different hubs produced by different manufacturers a guarantee, the benefit of which that it doesn't tie you into any one eco system.
To answer their question, the reason they are more expensive is because of their licensing. Zigbee is cheaper than zwave and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth devices are generally cheaper than zigbee. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth type of devices are generally built on top of open source code and generally have no licensing, hence they are cheaper, despite actually having more capable hardware in them then z-wave/zigbee devices.
I prefer z-wave switches simply because I don't like congesting the same wireless band that my Wi-Fi uses (2.4/5GHz). I believe zigbee uses 2.4Ghz (but it's still not Wi-Fi so still better than the Wi-Fi devices)
Also, Wi-Fi based devices act as full clients on your network which can be noisy if you have too many of them. In many ways the z-wave/zigbee devices are more like "dumb" devices, which imo are better suited for their role as a smart switch and I'll happily pay that premium.
Their simplicity makes them more reliable from my experience, compared to their Wi-Fi counterparts, although they do require a hub, but that's a one time investment só not a big deal.

I just wish it wasn't $100 for free shipping. 4 Zooz switches comes out to $99.80 which sucks. These guys have some good basic devices but I wish that they stocked more things, half of the items they list are perpetually out of stock.
Edit: I'm wrong, $99 for free shipping. I must have done something wrong when checking out

The "click" noise is what you don't want to hear. Very handy people are able to replace a component inside the switch, but I'm not about to solder anything.

ZEN74 dimmer is $26 instead of $29
Besides, if you bought something from this store before, write a review and get extra 5% - I just used my code from the last time.
I believe those cheap TP-Link Switches are all WiFi based. They depend on your internet connection and TP-Link servers running to function. Z-Wave devices are made by multiple manufacturers and are locally controlled by a hub. So even if your internet is down, or the company that makes your switches goes out of business, your switches will still work. There is a history of wifi based smart devices that get bricked and become useless when a company goes under or just stops supporting a product.Edit: Ignore my comment above, a commenter (Guib) below knew a lot more than I did. I thought TP-Link was similar to other WiFi switches.
Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Guib
