Interestingly. I was a bit worried about adding dozens of new WiFi devices but it sounds like it's not an issue so I will consider the WiFi switches after all.
Oh I didn't thing about access points. With something like ZigBee, the switches add to the network range. But for WiFi, each switch will need to be in range of an access point. We have pretty decent coverage but the benefit of using ZigBee is other devices can take advantage of the extended network.
Others have talked about Zwave, I'm not sure which camp they sit in.
