So... you'll be fine on Zigbee 15, 20, 25, and 26

Again take the time to actually look at the pinned image that shows you how WiFi and Zigbee overlap

thats pretty good then. is the skyconnect the best dongle to use?

#

& is there any sensors you recommend? contact / motion, etc

vagrant pecan
#

Yes, that

#

Skyconnect is good for ZHA, not so good for Zigbee2MQTT

#

forgive me, what is the difference between them?

#

i dont know what either are

There are three Zigbee options with Home Assistant (regardless of how you install it). These are:

zha is actively developed as part of Home Assistant Core, using the zigpy stack, the UI also being part of Home Assistant. The EmberZNet based sticks are recommended (though the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset), but there are other options including the CC2652 based sticks. There is no list of supported devices, as any standards compliant device should work. Devices that require extra support are listed, and adding unsupported devices is documented.

Zigbee2MQTT is very actively developed and can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, and natively. As of 1.15 has a native UI, and it also uses MQTT for control and configuration. It supports mostly TI based sticks, with the recommended option being the [CC2652 based sticks](#zigbee-archived message). If you want to use an EmberZNet stick see this issue. The known working devices are well documented (which usually includes how to pair them so you don't have to find the manual), and adding unsupported devices is also documented.

deCONZ is relatively stable and mature with its own UI (and Discord server). It can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, or natively. Only the ConBee range of sticks and RaspBee GPIO boards are supported. Known working devices are documented, and how to request support for a new device is documented too (you can't add unsupported devices yourself).

That's up to you

civic flame

Use ZHA, use Zigbee2MQTT .... you decide
