Reddit reviews NEW: ConBee, 2.4 GHz ZigBee USB ZigBee gateway in a compact format with certified drivers for operating systems

This doesn't fully answer your question but it maybe partly does.


I have a https://www.amazon.co.uk/NEW-gateway-compact-certified-operating-white/dp/B01FDWOIHK attached to a raspberry pi. it has an external API https://dresden-elektronik.github.io/deconz-rest-doc/


I can use it to control various ZigBee compatible light bulbs including hue, and the cheap ikea ones plus some cheap random ones I found on ebay. it has an API which isn't exactly as you describe but which is somewhat similar that can be accessed via the controller.

There are various zigbee wall switches that might be suitable, and you can tie them together with the gateway application or yourself using the api and code (I use node-red)


As I said, not really an answer but you might be able to cobble together something similar using this kind of thing?

I've learned you're pretty screwed when it xomes to ZigBee and the ST sensors.
I bought the Conbee from dresden elektronik and it works awesome - but just for lights.
And you have to use their deConz software - which actually isn't bad at all. There's a REST API as well as a website, and it integrates into Home Assistant with the automatic discovery.

However, I haven't found sensors that work with it, despite it saying it supports sensors.

I had the same issue on HUSBZB stick, Never could figure out why the lights kept disconnecting. I ended up switching to Conbee stick for zigbee.

I'm not sure if the HUSBZB is having issues due to bad design or if HA implementation of zigbee protocol is having issues. If you switch to the conbee stick, you can still use the HUSBZB stick for z-wave. Conbee stick uses deconz addon to control zigbee devices and passes them into HA, deconz is available to install through hassio.

I have not had a single dropped device on the deconz stick, nor has several of my friends who have switched over.

Nice benefit from the Conbee stick; if you create a light group in deconz system, the lights all come on at the same time, dim at the same time, and change colors at the same time. When I was using the HUSBZB stick, the light changes for groups would trickle in one light at a time.

You can use a conbee zigbee-controller and the zwave stick at the same time

This one needs the software deconz on the raspberry tho
