my biggest issue with zigbee is that you can not extend the zigbee network via hardwire. you are forced to wirelessly jump between bases.
meaning you have to find a good spot for the repeater where it
has good signal, and you have a power outlet for it, and it can be hidden.
those 3 requirements dont always come together.

why not let us hardwire them over cat5 . .

so my question is,
can i set up an XP8 with two way modules,
and have ZRP6's around the house that wire back to the
XP8. . each ZRP6 with its own ZM24 hard wired to it,
and from those local ZRP6's get two way information
from the XP8 . . so the ZRP6 would really just act as a hardwired
version of an extender . .

I will say no, you cant. Have you worked with a zm24 XP8 combo yet? Sometimes you can get a decent 100 to 200 feet of range out of one antenna when installed correctly
