Tired of the unreliable connectivity of Wifi when controlling critical stuff like lights, I want to move to Zigbee.

I’m going to move everything to the Hue bulbs, but I want to use something connected directly to HA for the hub. Anyone have some clear advice on a good, available USB dongle for Home Assistant, config/setup/adding Hue lights?

    Depends on the device. I originally had ZHA setup with a HUSBZB and had issues with Ikea devices. I upgraded to the Sonoff S3 Zigbee stick and while doing that moved over to Zigbee2MQTT. Things seem to be working better but that may have just been from the stick upgrade. I’d say ZHA is more user friendly but Z2M isn’t that difficult to learn/set up either.
