This is also good for the various other cheap Sonoff door, temp etc. sensors you can get.
I'm using the Home Assistant SkyConnect, which I've set to multi-protocol via HA itself. Bit pricier, but also provides a bit of £ for the developers.
Maybe it’s a silly question, assuming you have your Home Assistant server in another room, with this plugged in… How exactly does the networking part of this work? I’m assuming once the device is connected to this stick e.g, a bulb, then it just works?
edit: so googling it, it seems it creates a network of zigbee? and devices all content to one another and it works like that so devices don’t lost connection when far away? (edited)
Set up Mosquito MQTT Broker and Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) or ZHA instead of Z2M, and you'll be good to connect all ZigBee devices to Home Assistant.
Shoot me a message if you need any other help as I've recently been through the process so it's fresh in my head.
I'm using the Smart Life app at the moment as it looks alright.
It's a shame as I'd love to sell my hub and reduce my energy bill a bit more!
Give it a try
Only issue is that my first gen smartthings plugs don't work but they will work via MQTT
