The ZBT-2 is not toy safe and contains sharp edges, it does have a base though.
I know some people really love home assistant, but not thaaaat much!
Before reading the community and comments, I was absolutely sure this was a shitpost
I’ve been running HA in a VM for a long time, and that VM can migrate between machines. USB is not the solution for me, I want that teased PoE unit. I’ve been running PoE powered Zigbee and Zwave units so that if my VM migrates the system doesn’t go down. It can also allow me to run multiple HA instances if I so choose (which would probably get complicated fast; I don’t do that)
That being said, this is great for anyone who isn’t a hardware tinkerer.
Now if we could just get more products in America that aren’t forced to use the cloud over WiFi…
Is this gonna be better than the blue USB dongle sold as Thread and Zigbee but it couldn’t do both at the same time? I’m still annoyed at that
They are upfront about the fact that it will only do one or the other this time, at least...
I have been waiting for them to release the Zigbee equivalent to their ZWA-2. Ordered one.
Does anybody use Zigbee directly in Home Assistant? I'm currently still on Zigbee2MQTT but I'm wondering if I should switch over to the Zigbee integration in Home Assistant.
Small house, I use zigbee directly with the zbt1 and it's great
Home Assistant is open source home automation that puts local control and privacy first.

Discussion of Home-Assistant adjacent topics is absolutely fine, within reason.
