Hi, I got a general question. Using a CC1352P-2 as coordinator and ZHA right now. Also some ZigBee stuff, mainly IKA lamps and switches. Now I saw that in zigbee2mqtt the IKEA switches are showing a real switches and not only as battery like in ZHA where you need to check for events to automate. …

[image] maxym: But why you advice to avoid Conbee2? Impressions from spending too much time on this forum and discord. [image] maxym: 18months ago it was the best advised non-diy stick Not sure I have seen that, and 18 months is a long time in tech. I agree with you about z2m vs zha,…

Hello all Thank you for your input. This will help. Therefore I will be planing to use the sonoff usb along with the zha addon. Since this will controll the hvac environment and the inverter for the solar pannels, I beleive this would be a simple and pragmatic solution. Once again thank you all

I think ZHA will eventually move to being an addon, and decoupled from the core HA functionality, just like z2m is. I restart HA a lot, for many different reasons, and if if I were using ZHA, that would reset the zigbee mesh network and all the devices everytime. Not good. Now, there no reason th…

Thank you all for the update it is gratly appreciated FWI after 3 weeks of learning and installing VMware exsi 6.7 on the hp ml350g6 and the creating 2 vms one of which was HAOS. after installing ha i started to configure it and realized that exsi only allows 1 usb to passthrough to HA. Therefore …

You can backup and restore to the new instance.

This is really interesting to me. I wonder if the work done in ZHA will lead to Z2M gaining the ability to change adapters. I guess an easy path though could be loading the backup on ZHA, migrating to a new adapter, then loading that backup to Z2M. (Though I’m not sure how to get the backup on Z2M a…
