Using Zigbee2MQTT but ZHA has discovered dongle

I have been using Zigbee2MQTT since I started using HA last year. I am running this on a dedicated machine, not through Docker or a VM. I am using a Sonoff Zigbee2MQTT USB dongle.

After restart today I had a new notification about new devices being discovered. When I clicked to view more information it took me to the Integrations page , where I am given the option to configure my Sonoff dongle with ZHA.

I’ve checked my zigbee devices and they are all providing data (e.g. motion, temperature, etc.) and responding (e.g. opening blinds, activating lights, etc) so my Zigbee2MQTT configuration appears to be working without any problems.

I’m inclined to just tell HA to ignore the option to configure the Sonoff dongle in ZHA as everything seems to be working as it always has before. Would this be the best thing to do, or should I be checking something else before doing this?

This is normal. Discovery for ZHA has no idea you are using Z2MQTT.

So yes, set it to be ignored.
