I just got the RATGDO delivered today, have had HA Green a couple weeks, is there any good video instructions with step by step getting it flashed, installed, setup on the dashboard, notifications? Like everything, hardware and the install in HA as well? I see MQTT, does that mean I need Zigbee2MQTT? Or will it work connected to ZHA?
It’s wifi, you either install the esphome firmware in which case you don’t need anything additional, or you install the mqtt firmware and will need an mqtt broker. You don’t need z2m.
Is EspHome better or MQTT broker?
I have the mqtt version, if I did it again, I’d go with esphome.

Oh, why’s that?
The mqtt version has to be reset every other month or so, it just stops responding. Doesn’t look like that affects the esphome version.
