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

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?

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.

@HomeAutomationGuy 2 жыл бұрын

If you're going to move permanently to the Conbee I'd remove them from Home Assistant and re add them. It's fine to run two whilst you're testing, but the two Zigbee networks might interfere with each other longer term

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

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?

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?

@ZedEx186 2 жыл бұрын

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?

@HomeAutomationGuy 2 жыл бұрын

It needs to be connected to the Pi running HA

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

@HomeAutomationGuy 2 жыл бұрын

You can definitely have it connected to HA through the Hue bridge. The benefit for me from connecting it directly is that Hue no longer gets told every time I turn on and off the light and I can remove myself from their online ecosystem. But functionality wise it's basically the same. I had my Hue bridge connected to HA for months before I took the plunge and paired my lights directly, nothing wrong with it at all!

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

@HomeAutomationGuy 10 ай бұрын

You can find it in the Map section of both Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA

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

@HomeAutomationGuy Жыл бұрын

I don't think so. Both the Conbee II and the M1S are Zigbee Coordinators, rather than routers.

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 :)

Sadly a Zigbee network will only work with one coordinator at a time

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

Yes you can!

How?? what I understood devices (like switches & others...) will communicate and send command through cloud server of the manufacturer.

@@ismaelrenato2309 it's locally connected through your ZigBee coordinator

@ismaelrenato2309 2 ай бұрын

Thank for your quick feed back. Zigbee coordinator can be assign automatic IP address??? because devices have fixed unique address set by manufacturer.
