Zigbee2MQTT

You need their hub to connect the sensors to HomeKit natively, but you don't need it if you are going to be using them through Homebridge. You'll just need Homebridge zigbee to MQTT or something like that, I'm not very familiar with Homebridge and Zigbee, And a Zigbee stick. The sensor will pair to the Zigbee stick then.

Aqara sensors, they can be added to Homebridge and other smarthome applications with Zigbee2MQTT

I use a CC2531 antenna plugged in a Pi, with zigbee2mqtt and homebridge-z2m. I only do automations with the Home app, most of them converted into Shortcuts. Some niche ones (Aqara Outlet, need watt usage), I use Home+ because Eve is ugly. Say goodbye to Aqara notifications (and know that you can have better ones with dummy plugins and such). I don't see any advantages in a bigger mesh. I recently switched my Aqaras, some Hues, some Ikeas and Sonoffs to one gateway solution and I'm thinking of stepping back a bit.

I've got a Conbee 2 attached to a Synology and *just* got it setup. Like, yesterday. It has been a pain with Phoscon-- never sure what's up-- so installed Zigbee2MQTT in a Docker container, with the z2m HomeBridge plugin doing the translation to HomeKit. A few Aqara sensors and buttons work great, easy to set up. I'll move to Home Assistant soon enough, but this is giving me the minor automation I'm interested in. But it seems you'd lose all of your Hue setups, not sure how you want to talk to them in the end without their hub.

Hi. The creator of the homebridge-z2m plugin here. I personally use Zigbee2MQTT (as you can imagine) with several devices I bought from Lidl. I do *not* use the Lidl gateway for this, but instead used an Zigbee adapter supported by Zigbee2MQTT to create my Zigbee network. Once Zigbee2MQTT is setup, the homebridge-z2m plugin should make it very easy to also expose these devices to HomeKit via Homebridge. If you do not want to take that route, I believe they're devices are white label Tuya devices, so that might help finding a plugin that knows how to deal with their gateway. However, I'm not …

A bit late to the party. I'm using some OSRAM / Lightify devices via Zigbee2MQTT and the homebridge-z2m plugin. It's a very flexible setup in my opinion and works very well. As a Zigbee coordinator I'm using a development kit from Texas Instruments, but there are also simple dongles available for less than 10 USD that work with Zigbee2MQTT.

… do this, it works at a device level so you don’t need automations. I found it pretty easy to do with the zigbee2mqtt plugin and homebridge. I’ve got a Schneider odace dimmer directly wired to some spots, but I also bound the on/off state and brightness controls to a miboxer led strip. They work together without any issues.

I use the Aqara motion and contact sensors, and Tuya motion, temperature/humidity and vibration sensors. For smoke detectors I have 1 Aqara and 2 Tuya. They work great with Homebridge via Z2M. Been thinking about the leak detectors, but haven't settled on anything yet -- I'm a bit averse to just leaving stuff on the floor. In terms of aesthetic, the Aqara motion sensors ones look better when stuck to the wall. The Tuya ones are just plastic rectangular boxes - they have a red LED that blinks whenever motion is detected, which I find slightly annoying, however they run of AAA batteries which …

I have a YRD226, I've started with the zigbee module + "yale connect hub", yales locks are solid and works reliably but the yale connect is total garbage ! The best you can do to optimize your experience is to build a zigbee network with a zigbee usb dongle + mqtt broker + zigbee2mqtt. WIth this setup you just need to install a z2m plugin in your HB instance and setup the lock on you Home App; Also you'll open space for a lot more devices like sensors and switches.

Update: So after testing deCONZ for a day or so I listened to the results of this poll and went with Zigbee2MQTT + homebridge-z2m (thanks u/arno-m for the amazing plugin, frankly this is one of the best written plugins for HB I’ve seen). The results are amazing, my lights took from taking a second to respond when using the IKEA Hub to literally responding while I am still depressing the button - it feels like the traditional non-smart lights in terms of speed. I had issues only with Aqara sensors insisting that they will stay on the coordinator and not using a router but as far as I saw …

I'm using Zigbee2MQTT with the homebridge-z2m plugin. But of course, I'm rather biased, as the developer of homebridge-z2m. The reason I decided to make this plugin, is because Zigbee2MQTT has a great community and new devices get added really quick. Initially I used it with Home Assistant, but got tired of having to configure stuff manually in HA as well. So I decided to try and make a plugin that "just works" a long as Zigbee2MQTT is working. I also like the "modularity", meaning that I can easily hook up other applications (i.e. for logging) to the MQTT server as well and have them work …

Ah - OK. I was basing my comment about Motion Sensor showing up as Occupancy because I'd tested a SmartThings 3325-S motion sensor (2015) model and it exposes 'occupancy' in Zigbee2MQTT and therefore the same in HomeKit. If motion typically is exposed differently then sure it might well make sense to add a motion sensor service to expose the moving event. As clarity by the way - sorry I should have added this to the device support details - The reason I am keen to use this multi-purpose device is that when used in SmartThings (which I am trying to decommission) it gives me the full suite of …

Lidl Zigbee hub not supported by Homebridge. You need a different hub.

I reckon this question is about support for the Xiaomi A6121? As far as I can tell it's not exposed as a typical lock, looking at the device page on the Zigbee2MQTT website. This means that it is not supported by the current `lock` integration, but of course support an probably be added. However, I would need to know what the MQTT messages are that can be expected from this lock and how the related to the Lock Mechanism service and its characteristics in HomeKit. I had a quick look at the Zigbee converter for the device in Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters and I think this will be very …
