Looking at adding ZB to my rapidly growing HA setup. So far my devices are either Sonoff or Hue - with some BLE based devices and of course a couple of ESP32's.
What I want to achieve is having a hybrid setup in which I have devices that I can control directly on my LAN but also via Google home/assistant. The HUE model works great that way - I can voice control them via Google which connects to the HUE bridge but also locally directly from HA.
Now wondering if I can create a second Zigbee mesh next to what HUE already does - which would be needed if I want to use SB devices that Hue doesn't allow to be paired to the HUE bridge.
What I'm thinking is maybe a Zigbee gateway - I believe Sonoff makes one - but I'm not sure if I could expose that gateway to Google so I can control devices like switches and lights via Google as well al local??
Anyone got experience in doing something like that??
