Zigbee supports binding, allowing devices to directly control each other without the intervention of a controller. For example, I've Inovelli light switches that communicate directly with Zigbee smart bulbs.
I live in a townhome in the area talked about in the article (inside the 610 loop). As a local, this article felt spot-on and matched local understanding of how Houston manages residential land-use hyper-locally through deed restrictions and the like.
Curiously unmentioned in the article were TIRZ, but those are mostly used to manage commercial areas, not residential.
