Setting up Zigbee network on 4 floors: ZHA or HA supported Zigbee GW?

I was looking for the options on tubeszb, but first it is US and shipping to EU will incur in high shipping cost and customs fee, second the new and more powerful Coordinator seems to not be available for months, while the POE version with other mcu is available.

Another similar product is ZigStar LAN Gateway

I have read that the CC2652P2 may have some problems with the pairing (discussed also on reddit), not sure if solved already. Do you or anyone else have some feedback?

No such known issues with latest firmware, but yes you will need to upgrade the firmware regardless.

At home I have already a Lidl/Silvercrest GW/Coordinator (which seems to be based on Tuya GW). I have seen from this website that it is possible to use with ZHA: Lidl SilverCrest Zigbee Gateway (TYGWZ-01) Zigbee compatibility

Yes you can but it has a Silicon Labs chip so not recommended if ever want to try Zigbee2MQTT later. Function-wise it would once hacked work similar to Tube’s Gateways and ZigStar LAN Gateway.

Still, I would not recommend something that requires hacking for first time setup when a USB is very cheap and can be re-purposed as a Zigbee Router with different firmware if want to upgrade later.
