Bindings vs Bridge Rules

Bindings Bridge Rules
Bindings work independently from the bridge. Bridge rules only work when the bridge is running.
One ZigBee message, from switch/sensor to light/group. Two ZigBee messages, one from switch/sensor to bridge, one from bridge to light/group.
Stored (invisibly) in the switch/sensor. Stored (visibly) on the bridge.
No logging of triggers. Logging on bridge of rules lasttriggered and timestriggered.
Limited to commands supported by the switch/sensor for button actions. Full freedom to assign any action to any button event.
