I’d like to start by saying that I’m new to Home Assistant and a complete Linux n00b. I don’t even have a HA server setup yet, as I’m doing research before purchasing anything.
Basically I have some generic Zigbee RGBW lights and Xiaomi round wireless switches. I will be using a Conbee II. I’d like to integrate the products into ZHA but confused about:
The database_path
variable I see on the ZHA info page confuses me. What is Home Assistant looking for here?
GUI. Am I going to have to copy/paste a bunch of code and edit the framework of things to get everything working? Or is there a GUI to control devices once I add them? I’d like to do some simple stuff like toggle the lights when I press my buttons.
Updating the Conbee. Will I have to update the firmware of the USB on a Windows device or something before using or is it plug and play?
That’s what I can think of for questions right now. Please help a n00b out and let me know what you guys know!
