Any good? I am really liking ZHA it’s so baked in Home-Assistant. I was using zigbee2mqtt but that was basically my only MQTT service so went with ZHA to simplify.
It does the job although you do have to set it to China, so sometimes in set-up (or randomly) I get shouted at in Chinese.
If I remember correctly (I’m not at home to check) you can pair IKEA bulbs directly with it and use it for quick and simple automation but I’ve largely done it through Home Assistant.
Yeah, I think that’s my next step. It was fine when I was bodging everything together many moons ago but I’ve been out of the game for a bit - 2 years without a home to ensmarten and a year fixing this new place up. As I’m now getting back up to speed and pretty much starting afresh, I might as well try and do it a bit better this time around. I have just got a long range Bluetooth adapter for the Raspberry Pi so it can talk directly to the temp/humidity sensors and getting rid of the hub would be handy although I may possibly still need it for the robot vac.
