| Thread/Zigbee | Works Local | Recommended as Zigbee coordinator and Thread radioSaved copyThe brands you should look at are: * Zooz * Inovelli * Third Reality * Philips Hue All of these work locally with home assistant and most of them are cheap devices. You can purchase a ZBT-2 for Zigbee, and a ZWA-2 for Z-Wave Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-03 | |
| Zigbee Home Automation | Works Local | Rock solid; replaced ConBee II with faster, more reliable 80-device network; 2 usersSaved copyZBT-2 has been rock solid and sensitive. It has the better Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 chip. And buying it also support Home Assistant itself. In one youtube video Sonoff dongle (model using MG24) performed worse than ZBT-2. SO I guess ZBT-2 antenna design might be better. Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2026-08 |

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
