So I originally opened this as a request for help on how to migrate from Wink to HA but have since moved over and would like to add my findings here. Original request below.
Original request:
Hello everyone!
So I have been using Wink for a long time, and I like it for the most part. I am the main Developer for the Wink component so I have been hesitant to move off of Wink since I won't be able to diagnose/improve the platform as easily. However, the last week has been rough on Wink I have been having regular push update issues and Wink hasn't found the issue/isn't even aware there is one. The WAF is dropping quickly lol.
So I have decided that I want to move the things I can over to some sort of native HA Zwave/ZigBee solution.
I have a HUSBZB-1 setup for Zwave and have tried ZHA before but it has been awhile.
So my main question is what is the best Home Assistant ZigBee solution out there? zigbee2mqtt, zha, ect... and what am I going to lose in regards to ZigBee from moving off of Wink. Thanks.
I have the following ZigBee devices.
GE light bulbs (10) (Working fine with ZHA)
Commercial Electric can light (1) (Working fine with ZHA)
Sylvania (2) (Working fine with ZHA)
Hampton bay flush mount light (1) (Working fine with ZHA)
Ikea bulbs (3) (Working fine with ZHA)
Home Decorators ceiling fan module (1) (*See below)
Lutron remote (1) - Haven’t used in awhile but would be cool to get working again. (**See below)
*
Pain in the ass to get paired with ZHA. Worked for about 2 weeks and went offline. Tried to pair for about 15 minutes and gave up. Just purchased https://www.itead.cc/sonoff-ifan02-wifi-smart-ceiling-fan-with-light.html to replace it. ifan02 works great with tosmota, only issue is the fan speeds are really only low and full speed. The slow speed is super super slow, medium is like low, and high is full blast.

Paired but no useful sensors showed up
I also have the following Zwave devices
GoControl (Linear) window/door sensors (6) (Working fine with ZWave)
GoControl (Linear) motion sensors (3) (Working fine with ZWave)
Generic water sensor (1) (Working fine with Zwave)
Schlage lock (1) (Working fine with Zwave) (*See below)
GoControl siren (1) (Working fine with Zwave) (**See below)
GoControl thermostat (GC-TBZ48) (1) (Working fine with Zwave) (***See below)
*
User codes don’t show up as their own sensor like with Wink and also they aren’t named. A template sensor can be used to pull out the code number used to unlock the lock to trigger automations.

Paired and works as a switch, but shows as unknown device in Zwave config

Seems to work fine, two climate entities show up in HA and in order to set the range of the auto mode both entities set points need adjusted. This may get fixed in the feature.
The remaining devices are all Wink only and I am not too sure what I will do with them, suggestions welcome.
Kidde smoke alarms (3) - Probably have to keep the Wink hubs with these. (Replaced these with first alert zcombo and they are working well)
Eggminder (1) - Needs to stay on Wink
Porkfolio (1) - Needs to stay on Wink
Nimbus (1) - Needs to stay on Wink
Wink Relays (2) - Needs to stay on Wink (* See below)
Pivot power genius (2) - Needs to stay on Wink (** See below)
Spotters (1) - Has to stay on Wink

Use this! https://github.com/jimpastos/wink-relay-manager works great and adds functionality

I have taken one apart and I think an esp8266 can replace the control board. I plan on doing this in the future and will make a guide if all goes well. You can retrofit your Pivot power genius with an esp8266 follow this https://github.com/w1ll1am23/pivot_power_genius_mqtt
