Wifi devices aren't good for your home network as they eat up a lot of bandwidth, congest your network and count towards the number of maximum devices connected to your router.
Edit: Also, if you lose internet connection, then none of your wifi devices will work. Zigbee/zwave doesn't need a live internet connection to work as long as your hub is turned on

You can add an outdoor camera and create a rule that if the camera "sees" a motion, turn the lights on.

my main problem with WiFi is the dependence on vendors apps/clouds/severs... yes once setup, you no longer need to use them directly, but they're still being used by whatever controller you have. company decides to shut em down, they're dead.
not the case with ZWave/ZigBee (aside from all the Chinese companies that halfass follow the standards and make an open protocol damn near proprietary), as long as it's defined, it'll work with any configurable server, provided there's a device interface written for it.
ZigBee has become more and more of a mess over the years, i've been moving away from it recently... everybody just seems to be doing whatever they want, "standards" are much looser and it causes issues with the mesh. it sucks because ZigBee is designed to handle far more hops than ZWave, albeit over shorter distances. i'm running into issues with 3 hops with some ZWave stuff and 4 hops, although in the spec, doesn't seem to work at all. so here i am slapping together a Pi/ZWave stick to have a remote Home Assistant setup out in our pig house (~200ft from the house.) Obviously a non-issue for 99.9% of people, just something i'm running into as i expand out.
