What "dongles" do youu need? Zigbee, ZWave, something else?

Originally my focus was Zigbee. But, because I had some BT speakers and a BT dongle laying around, I wanted to try it to see what potential HA had. Well, I quickly ran in the aforementioned issue.

I was going to buy a Zigbee stick (an EFR32 one iirc), but now that I've seen that it may be problematic as well, I've put off my purchase for now.

Well, you can buy (wired) network connected Zigbee coordinators

#

For BT you can use ESPHome as a proxy

I couldn't remember if Discord did clearly notify thread members ๐Ÿ˜…
Having said that, thank you! I think I'm seeing the end of the tunnel. I'll go the wired/ethernet route, will see how it goes
