Looking for z-wave alternatives

I've had too many issues with z-wave and want to dump it like a bad relationship.

The only things left are a few multi-sensors (I really just want temp, but light / motion are nice to have) and power monitoring switches.

Are there any other indigo supported technologies that have multi sensors and/or power monitoring switches?

Just for clarity, can you detail the issues you've had with Z-Wave? We've had so few reports of problems that it would be nice to have some concrete descriptions of issues for others to see.

Will Shelly have local control (through Indigo) or remote?

Either/Both. Local control is via HTTP or MQTT.

I still have issues Jay, but less than a few versions ago, or significant delays in zwave processing whilst indigo is waiting for zwave plus devices, ie radiator TRVs to respond. If it needs to wait for a few in a row to report and they are slow there can be a 30 second delay or longer in other zwave commands that get stuck in a queue behind. A pain if those are lights that are waiting to come on that were triggered by movement and the person is in the dark for that long.
But overall yes they are solid across 30+ devices. Better reliability in responses and staying in sync that zigbee. Zwave rarely misses.
Been meaning to report properly but keep forgetting then you went and said the above !
