Hello,

I don’t have any ‘smart’ items in my house (or home assistant currently) but I want to set this up but I have questions about compatibility with hardware before I purchase. They have a integration page does that mean all of those hardware devices work? Or do some work better than others? According to a person on Reddit they recommend https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ I’m just curious if anything has changed in the past year. Or if anyone here has a list of recommendations. I plan to start with some lights and a thermostat.

Cheers and thanks.

    Homeassistant does not know how good your devices work. It only tells about whether or not they can communicate/integrate together.

    During the last year or so, ZigBee has become even more popular as a communication protocol.

      I personally have stuck with zwave; its pricy, but the range is fantastic
