What kind of automations do you want to do? 🙂

Hi Finn, look for a decent Zigbee coordinator like the slzb-06 and some Zigbee devices like smart plugs or zgbee lightbulbs. If you would have to make a beginner choice like wifi or zigbee, always go zigbee if possible.

for doorbell, go for Reolink, compatible in HA and no cloud needed.

[lilac wasp]

yes, but you should specify what you're looking for, otherwise it's hard to recommend random stuff xD

[pallid ore]

Ikea ZigBee devices are cheap and high quality, and compatible with the SLZB-06 that noDNS told you

@dark saffron good one!

[dark saffron]

Thanks! Like an hour of formating and setting the right links for each device type

[night adder]

yeah, but usefull

[dark saffron]

I strive to assist :3

[night adder]

we all do 😉

[floral berry]

Thank you @night adder@dark saffron@lilac waspand @pallid ore!

Been a huge help!

[floral berry]

Thanks, are there cheaper options to the slzb-06?

[night adder]

yes, ofcours, just i advice only what i think is price/quality and futureproof ok. There are a lot of zigbee dongle/sticks for a few bucks, had them before. Although it is a good start, over time you'd want to have something that has just better performance, options and good network covering. 😉

and buying things twice result in more bucks spent.

[floral berry]

I see

but 80 euros seems a bit much

for just a few devices

[floral berry]

are all of the ikea devices zigbee

[pallid ore]

Mostly

@dark saffron openminded to add hardware to your list? e.g. PoE camera Reolink RLC-820A, tested, fully local and SMLIGHT SLZB-06 coordinator usb/wifi/PoE capable, tested.

[dark saffron]

It's on a different page, let me link it!
