Z-Wave is tiny at retail. It's what I use almost exclusively, but I'm not fooling myself into thinking it's not almost a non-player today in the market.

Yes, they're big. Globally, IKEA sells more smart components than all dedicated HA companies like Fibaro, Aeotec, etc. combined. And by a lot more than 100 times. I would guess conservatively it's 1000-10k times more in units and even higher in dollars. Philips are huge too, but IKEA is going to surpass them, even in bulbs. They've recently promoted their Home Smart division to primary status. They have an IKEA-jargon name for this, but basically, it's promoted to top-line business unit, running at the same top level with Kitchens, Bath, etc.
