Mostly no. You can buy a #zigbee-archived stick (coordinator) and integration most Zigbee devices that way. Similarly you can buy a #zwave-archived stick (coordinator) and integrate Z-Wave devices that way

Well he’s basically described zigbee and those blinds are zigbee

#

Although they can’t be bound to a group for whatever reason. Tube was talking about it the other day

#

Should each smart device outline whether it’s zigbee or zwave compatible?

I’m struggling to determine the most efficient way to integrate pre-purchase.

Well, if they're Zigbee or Z-Wave the will

#

Otherwise they'll probably mention WiFi in some way

#

Sometimes you have to go hunting, or hitting up Google

Another example would be hue bulbs.. please correct me if I’m wrong but hue bulbs are zigbee but I need the hue hub in order to integrate into Hass

They are, and you don't

#

If you buy a Zigbee device then it's 99.99999% likely to work with either #zigbee-archived integration (ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT), and if it doesn't you can probably add support

I see, so I’d need to get a zigbee dongle and then should be good from there?
