Hi I’m planning to install some Philips Hue lights, but at the same time I find Xiaomi Aqara switches very convenient. I know both Philips and Xiaomi use Zigbee, and that they’re incompatible and the need their individual bridges, but, is it a problem having two different Zigbee bridges? Do they co…

As mentioned there are multiple alternatives for you here, you can check out the zigbee2mqtt project, or the ZHA component or the deCONZ component.

I have my Pi running with a ConBee usb stick and deCONZ. I have around 10 xiaomi devices connected along with 8 Ikea trådfri LED spots and the only gateway / hub I have is the ConBee usb stick running via deCONZ. I have no Phillips HUE products but I believe they will connect to deCONZ without probl…

I have hue and xiaomi both running on their respective hubs - no clashes. (It uses 2.4Ghz same as wifi and a bunch of other stuff) But I am definitely very actively trying to move to zigbee2mqtt

Hue does indeed work well with deconz :+1:, I’ve got some 25 Hue lights, 7 remotes and a few motion sensors connected to my conbee

Hi Robban, could you please explain step by step how do you got your success? :slight_smile: After reading hours in this forum, I havn’t found the last clue to get working the connection between my at conbee /deconz registered devices, and HomeAssistant. My actual progress are: I have sucessfull…

I’m in the same boat. I can’t seem to get Home Assistant to recognize zigbee events. I have hassio on an RPI, conbee USB and deconz component. I’m to the point where I can use the deconz rest api to view sensors and lights but I can’t see any of these in HA.

Can you enable debug per component documentation and post the logs here? If everything is set up the devices should be added properly. Remember ; remotes are only events in HASS. Check out the documentation for how to use them

I enabled debug, but I’m not sure where the logs are. If it’s the home-assistant.log, I’ll upload in a sec… Here it is. HA log

The logs looks ok, nothing weird there. If you press the remote and look in those logs, don’t you see any deconz event?

They will work fine but IMO the best thing to do is checkout zigbee2mqtt, you can use these devices with each other on the same bridge rather than having numerous bridges throughout the home. Does require a little DIY.
