Lamp switch

[late lichen]

I want to buy lamp switch but i want mqtt and apple
home. Im thinking about Sonoff ZBDongle-E with AQARA H1 WS-EUK02. I have my own mini pc as server. What are you think about that?

What if i want to buy few new devices. What are you thinking about zigbee? This dongle would be ok with that switch?

That a pretty typical application, run zigbee2MQTT to talk to the switch via the dongle and homekit bridge to then add it to apple home. the dongle can talk to many devices so adding more in future is very easy

so my dongle and aqura switch will be 100% cooperate
