Don't want an answer, but something to think about and don't think I can answer the question either:
In which market segment is Zigbee operating and more popular? Real estate owner or real estate tenant?
Which price segment is Zigbee in. How often do you change the batteries until you throw it? 20 euros more for solar-powered and mechanical charging without changing the battery on ENOcean.
Sustainable providers on ENOcean? Sustainable providers on Zigbee? Direct connection to Modbus only with ENOcean. Modbus = industryal matters - solar, heating, Inverter, ventilation. The only cases where I would spend the money on a controller that costs more than 100 euros. Modbus since the year of 1979 / RJ connections since 70tis as well.....
Is there a Zigbee sub-market that is bigger and more stable than ENocean? Of course, Zigbee is bigger overall but can the devices communicate with each other (manufacturer A to manufacturer B in the lower price segment)? Is there a stable manufacturer - Philips has changed the type of lightbulb more than once in its 125 years and IKEA products change faster than tenantes.
However, both are easily interchangeable and like KNX, neither does not belong into a wall of stone until it is on the market for at least 10 years. This is what you learn when you replace all the light switches for the first time. Fortunately only in one of four apartments.... these are just trends that are disappearing like many other groundbreaking innovations.
