Why is it so difficult to configure Xbee S2C with HASS.IO ?
Spent days in an attempt to get the module to work. Hours of research and trial/error with various configurations. The biggest notice was the true lack of support for Zigbee configurations.
I know my XCTU settings are correct as it see my test network device. (Via desktop).
But when connecting to HA (and seen as /dev/ttyUSB0) it still throws errors and tells me check my ZHA configuration, which I have done dozen or more times.
Z-Wave is working flawlessly. Zigbee is a nightmare.
Hass.io 0.78.0
Ubuntu 18.0.4.x

Did a fresh install of everything and still not able to get Zigbee to work. (Time for other than HASS.IO?)
Yes, this is rant… But the goal is to put the truth in prospective. See lots forums asking for support but no one responds, threads closed, and when responding, its half baked response.
HA preaches about in-house automation control, but how can this be achieved if one cannot get things working.
Its almost as if a separate hub (Wink, ST, etc) has to be used to get devices managed. This falls short of the in-house automation.
