Xiaomi Smart Home Hub 2
Hi there, I want to install one of these over ethernet to extend my network on the basement. Is it easily integratable to the Home Assistant setup I have and friendly to pair any Zigbee compatible device? thanks!
No. This device is cheap rubbish. Only suitable for Xiaomi devices and a few additional products. Hands off! I returned it immediately but had to pay CHF 10 because the packaging was open.
For an open-protocol ZigBee network, I recommend the ConBee II, for example, or the RaspBee from Dresden Electronic with a RaspberryPi. But I haven't pursued this myself yet. The light in my flat is still switched by a carbon intelligence (aka. yours truly). (It's extremely cheap and environmentally friendly too ;) ).
I concur with the opinion of julian. Kaufmann. Furthermore, it is not possible to operate devices such as Xiaomi Fan or We etc exclusively via this, they still need Wi-Fi access from the home network. I am also very disappointed.
