[Brmlab] Home automation - Z-wave vs ZigBee

Hi guys.

Does anybody tried some of these protocols for home automation? I have read a lot of comparisons and don't know what way to go.

I'm not good in HW development therefore I will not build my own devices. My plans are build existing devices, control them through some USB controller connected to my Linux home server.

From my research the list of products seems to be better for Z-wave but

some comparisons claim that ZigBee is a better protocol.

Do you have some experience? What do you suggest?

Thanks.
