ZigBee

ZigBee is like WiFi but uses less power. so it’s better for IoT devices.

It requires a Zigbee hub.

• This can either then connect to a server on the internet Smart Life,
• or a self hosted server like Home Assistant or zigbee2mqtt.

• Zigbee2MQTT
  • ZigBee
• flash tuya devices
  • hacking your zigbee hub so that we can install a process to send all ZigBee messages to home assistant (as your hub is a very basic Linux computer).
    and enable MQTT broker on your home assistant instance.
    Zigbee2mqtt sends messages to home assistant MQTT broker
    and MQTT broker processes them for home assistant, and you’re good.
    HACK GUIDE
• Thread devices
  • another smart device protocol, like ZigBee or Matter
• Zigbee Home Automation
  • ZHA is Home Assistant’s default integration for managing ZigBee devices. It allows you to connect and control Zigbee devices such as lights, sensors, and switches directly within Home Assistant.
