Works almost instantly straight out the box (or after some configuring for more complex set-ups), haven't had a single issue with connecting devices or maintaining that connection so far!

This device was keenly priced by PiHut, and delivered on schedule. I am a relative newbie to Home Assistant, so I was relieved (and impressed) that the ZBT-2 was seen immediately by my HA server and its integration installed smoothly. So far I have just one device connected via Zigbee, but its discovery and registration were equally efficient. So far, so happy!

Connects easily to Raspberry PI4 usb 2 ports and gets picked up immediately by home assistant. Tried it with Thread and Zigbee. Got best result with it near center of house.

Setup and Integration Super Easy to Set Up: I recently picked up the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2, and getting it running was incredibly straightforward. If you’re already using Home Assistant, this coordinator is practically plug-and-play. You just plug it in, and Home Assistant automatically recognizes it with its built-in wizard. There is no complicated configuration or driver hunting involved. Adding Devices Hassle-Free Ecosystem: Once plugged in, adding devices is a breeze. Home Assistant has done a fantastic job of streamlining the Zigbee integration. Bringing new sensors, smart bulbs, and switches onto your network only takes a few clicks, making it incredibly easy to expand your smart home. True Local Control Ditching the Wi-Fi Dependency: One of the main reasons I wanted this setup was to move away from Wi-Fi-dependent smart devices. Because the ZBT-2 operates entirely on Zigbee, you can create complex, lightning-fast automations that don't rely on your router or cloud services. Your automations stay entirely local, meaning if your internet goes down, your smart home keeps working perfectly. Range and Performance Excellent Coverage: From my testing so far, the range has been pretty great. The upgraded external antenna on the ZBT-2 clearly makes a difference. Even devices located rooms away respond instantly without dropping off the mesh network. Final Verdict: If you want to transition your smart home to reliable, local control, the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 is a fantastic investment. It is user-friendly, remarkably stable, and makes managing a Zigbee network a super easy experience. Highly recommended!
