If your #zigbee integration in the current #HomeAssistant doesn't work anymore and you run #zigbee2mqtt , try restarting the latter. It fixed it for me.

Home assistant 2025.7

In the #Zigbee2MQTT web interface, when inspecting a #Zigbee device's view, if the device's Device type says Router, does that mean that it's (capable of) extending the signal range of the Zigbee network?

Cos all of my Zigbee devices in my network have said type - is it really true that all of em are actually expanding the range of my one Zigbee coordinator (a #SONOFF dongle)?

Wow #Zigbee/#Zigbee2MQTT with my #SONOFF dongle on my #RaspberryPi #HomeAssistant box has been quite a headache lol. It's so hard to pair anything, and when one does pair, they seem to not work consistently. I'm not sure if it's a dongle issue, a device issue, or a signal issue - prolly that last one but.. idk how to fix it really.

I moved half of my #Zigbee devices to #Zigbee2MQTT now. It's work but it's worth it.

I definitely like the map from Z2M much more than the ZHA map. It looks so much more structured than this chaotic map from ZHA. In both maps are current 30 devices.

That some devices are shown as offline in ZHA is also an error. They work without problems.

Migrated my old standalone #Zigbee2MQTT server to the Home Assistant Add-on. Should take maximum 1 hour, but ran into unpredicted issues, so this costed me a whole day... Got multiple entities even when I used the exact backup of Z2M. Awful experience.

Sweet new interface in 2.4 #zigbee2mqtt. Very familiar to use, but a facelift.

Os puedo contar que #zigbee2mqtt y #mosquitto ya están levantados a partir de la copia de seguridad y funcionando...

Vamos a probar con #HomeAssistant, este me me da más reparo pero no debería haber problema. Veremos que ocurre.

Have you brought a SMLIGHT SLZB-06M Zigbee Coordinator and can't get it working with Zigbee2MQTT? Check my latest blog post on how I resolved this.

Oh I hate Hue devices so much. Building up my #Zigbee2MQTT network and since I have the first Hue device in there, everything just fails.

This was the last device from the kitchen to add and I just wanted to have an evening now. But I guess this is over now…

ok now I've learned more about #Zigbee, #HomeAssistant thanks to helpful people replying to this thread - I've learned that Zigbee 'integration' with HA using something like the ZBT-1 Zigbee 'coordinator' requires me to setting it up as either #ZHA or #Zigbee2MQTT. Some devices might work better on ZHA, while others on the latter.

With one (USB) coordinator, I can only use/set it up as either one. If I choose ZHA, Zigbee devices (that I thought would work/be compatible with anything Zigbee) that don't work well with ZHA would be useless for me - vice versa. For example, this article I linked details a IR blaster I wanted to buy, cos.. 'Zigbee', but apparently it only works well with Zigbee2MQTT - if I accidentally bought something like this, and have set up my Zigbee coordinator on the Pi with ZHA, I might be 'SOL'.

Am I getting this right? Does that mean every device/appliance I'm buying going forward, I have to just.. do more research and hope it's either reviewed by someone (on this matter), or specified by the vendor (i.e. if it'd work on ZHA/Zigbee2MQTT)?

RE: https://sakurajima.social/notes/a85ct0uqse

I'm in the process of switching from #ZHA to #Zigbee2MQTT and I'm really impressed by how much better everything is.

I know many people say this for a while, but after years of ZHA it's surprising what I've missed. Especially for some devices that exposed much less entities to Home Assistant via ZHA.

Suddenly I have so much more data about my home that I can not only see but also use for automations. Suddenly I can control stuff about some devices that were never available via ZHA.

I'm glad that I'm also switching the Coordinator in this process as it costs an unexpected amount of time to do this, as I have to update automations, the dashboards etc.
But in this process I can clean up so much stuff I did wrong in the last months and years.
