Zigbee to MQTT bridge, get rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges

Looks like they may just work?

I'm just shaken because there seems to be two types of plugwise devices, one from the Before times and a modern series

It may, but nobody may have put the work in

https://www.domoticaforum.eu/viewtopic.php?t=4490 looks like someone tried to document the plugwise protocol back in 2010!!

Very frustrating that they become obsolete
