This is a great introductory resource. Thanks for putting this out.

Been smashing your videos over the past few days as i prepare for my first foray into home assistant 😂

A well presented and very clear guidance video. Thanks

Thanks for the overview. That several companies are developing Zigbee was new to me.

Thanks! you can benefit more from this video than its length 👍

amazing video, thank you!!

Thanks for enlightening us.

Excellent primer. I feel like less of a luddite after just a few minutes

Thank you

Nice vids.

I have a Home Assistant install that is communicating with a Phillips Hue bridge. Can that bridge communicate with non-Hue Zigbee devices? If so, are there any benefits to switching to a USB Zigbee dongle?

Can the Wiser Schneider Electric Zigbee Hub be connected to Zigbee Tuya, Zigbee Bardi, etc.?

Great video, very informative thanks. My first home automation was a Hue hub and Hue lampswhich I still use. I am about to install a Conbee 2 USB device in my Home Assistant, should I remove my Hue lights from the Hue hub, set them up with the Conbee device and then disconnect the Hue hub or is it OK to have 2 Zigbee coordinators running? Thanks.

Great video. Quick question, does the Zibee dongle need to be connect directly to the pi's USB port running HA or can the dongle be connected to any USB device?

I wonder, what plug-in / add-on are you using for showing the zigbee network map? And where to find it. Thanks in advance

I have a question, when product says/advertises "Zigbee 3.0", but within app the latest update says 2.4, is that considered still Zigbee 3.0?

Thanks

I haven't been able to finish the vid, so this may well be explained: Do the manufacturers of all of the smart devices need to be the same? For example, if I purchase an Aqara hub to control my Aqara blinds, can I run other Zigbee devices from other manufacturers using the Aqara hub?

If you have a device paired with hue is there a benefit to deleting from the hue bridge or can you have it connected to HA through the hue bridge? Thanks

I have two Sonoff 3.0 Zigbee Dongle plus'...one I am using, and one is still in its box and never been touched. I have reached 25 devices on the current SZD+ and notice that I'm not able to add more devices. I'm trying avoid flashing the current SZD+ to give it the ability to add more devices because it seems like quite a pain.....is it possible for me to plug in the 2nd (unused) SZD+ and use it in conjunction with the currently installed one?....or will it not be able to work with 2 dongles? (btw...I use RPi 3b currently). Thanks :)

Can I use the Aqara M1S hub as a router and the Conbee II as the controller?

fyi: Trådfri = free from wire, so wireless :)

Hi. Is it will communicate Zigbee hub to home devices without internet connection?
