Has anyone done this? What are the cons? Would automations be noticeably slower since the have to go h.a then to h.e? I’m using a raspberry pi 4 4gb, what zigbee usb stick would you recommend? I’m using a micro sd and am terrified, would a cheap $15 ssd work well? https://www.amazon.com/Internal-Mu…

@kkossev Has done a lot of work around Aqara devices. Free to try of course. My Aqara devices have been worry free on HA with the ConBee 2. I originally used the ZHA integration, and later rejoined everything with the Zigbee2MQTT integration for a larger and more feature rich device support catalog…

None yet. My package is still in transit. My main concern is the e1 curtain robot

I don't have a solution for Aqara E1 Curtain Robot - this is one of the cases where a particular non-standard device is best handled by Z2M.

Thank you, can the actual e1 hub be integrated?

I’m not aware of an integration, but why bother with it when Z2M works with the E1 Curtain you’re concerned about, and you then have every other device capability that Z2M and HA have, not just Aqara devices?

@frmWink2Hubitat This very device was the subject that led to Z2M for others too . If you read down the thread a bit, there an embedded thread link where I described what I needed to do when I installed my mosquito broker on another computer for MQTT. But in that same sub-thread is a link to a really…

I only use HA for problematic devices (Kasa and Sengled). I don't see any advantage to moving everything to HA. Consider that if your HA fail, your entire smart home will go down with it. As for the sd cards on rpi, I change them all for small SSD after one died whitout warning. Edit: To be fair, …

I’m worried about buying a zigbee donle. My h.a is in a docker and I’m confused with “mapping”

I run my HA in a Docker container and I use a Sonoff usb dongle with Z2M without problem.

I’m considering moving all my stuff to hassio and using Hubitat for all my automations. Few questions
