Smart Water Monitors by protocol

How do these protocols differ? Show the pros and cons
Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz (most smart devices), 5 GHz (cameras)

Pros

  • No hub; it joins the network you already have
  • Enough bandwidth for live video and audio
  • Widest choice of brands and the lowest entry prices
  • Setup is usually an app and a few taps

Cons

  • Power hungry; battery Wi-Fi sensors need frequent charging
  • Many devices only support 2.4 GHz, which complicates setup on mixed-band routers
  • Dozens of devices can overload consumer routers
  • Many products depend on the maker's cloud and stop working if it shuts down
  • No mesh between devices; range is whatever your router covers

Our take: Right for cameras, doorbells, and anything plugged in. Wrong for battery sensors, and a few dozen devices can overload a cheap router.
