Zigbee for Domoticz Plugin

Zigbee for Domoticz Plugin has manufacturer/hardware-independent support and today includes compatibility with inexpensive Zigbee Coordinator adapters from ZiGate as well those based on Texas Instruments CC2652/CC1352 chips, Silicon Labs ERF32MG13/EFRMG21/EFRMG24 chips, and Dresden Elektronik ConBee/RaspBee (deCONZ/Phoscon) adapters with compatible Zigbee Coordinator firmware.

The plugin is open source and coded in Python coded, using a framework that enable the possibility to add support for even more different Zigbee Coordinator chips from other manufacturers in the future.

The direct-attached Zigbee Coordinator adapter allow you to nativly connect to and control most Zigbee devices from manufacturers/brands like example; Philips Hue, IKEA Trådfri, Aqara/Xiaomi, Schneider Wiser, Legrand Netatmo, and many of other native Zigbee devices under the Domoticz umbrella application without having to go through any external broker service software or proxy/gateway/bridge appliance (which would convert to other protocols than Zigbee in order to communitcate with Domoticz).


Zigbee for Domoticz a plugin for Domoticz home automation software to connect Zigbee devices through a Zigbee Coordinator (a.k.a. Zigbee controller/bridge/gateway adapter in the form of Zigbee USB adapter/dongle/stick/key or GPIO Shield/HAT), like those from ZiGate, as well as Texas Instruments CC13x2/CC26x2 like Electrorama zzh, and Silicon Labs ERF32MGxx chips like Elelabs , (older TI CC253x adapters works too but are obsolete so not recommended if want to achieve a stable Zigbee network). For a list of supported Zigbee Coordinators see the plugin wiki: Supported Coordinators

This "Zigbee for Domoticz" plugin is an evolution of the mature Zigate plugin for Domoticz, which will continue to manage and handle Zigate in native mode, while other Zigbee Coordinator adapters, like those from Texas Instruments and Silicon Labs, will be handle through the zigpy project's libraries which uses a unified Zigbee radio API.
