I've stopped buying home automation devices that are dependent on Bluetooth or wi-fi. Bluetooth is to easy to disrupt based upon distance/interference. Wi-fi becomes problematic as you add more devices. In my experience, when you have a bunch of wireless devices on your network some get dropped and don't always reconnect even if they have reserved IP addresses.
I'm paying a bit more for devices that require a hub or are thread enabled (which require a newer Apple TV, HomePod or hub). These have been rock solid.
