As we’re trending, I thought I’d lean into it and see what everyone is using.

I think this covers the basics.

  • Home assistant running under proxmox on an ancient hp micro server
  • ZZH zigbee gateway stick
  • Xiaomi/Aqara light switches, with one more switch than circuit going to switch to act as a button for lamps
  • Ikea
    • Bulbs for lamps
    • undercounter strips with zigbee for office mood lights
  • Nest hubs for music + 4 room house amp system
  • Tado for heating

ZZH zigbee gateway stick

Is that your recommendation for a ZigBee dongle to cut out the hub?

It’s the one I use, I would recommend a ZZH-P if they ever get released! Failing that I have heard good things about the sonoff stick.

I have problems finding any information at all about this, could you link a website to see what it is and the current status?

Here are the main components of my system, which has become a bit of a collection over the years:

  • Home Assistant on RPi
  • zwave USB stick
  • a number of lights, switches and multi sensors on the zwave network
  • A cluster of four RPis for various scheduled and transient tasks (data ETL, solar energy forecast model training and forecast generation, house battery and EV charge planning and execution, scraping and processing council bin collection schedule)
  • two RPis handling motorised curtains and cooling fans in home cinema
  • three ESP2866s running ESPHome controlling relays for switching sauna, floor heating and water immersion heating on/off
  • ten ESP32s running WLED controlling LED strips inside and out
