| MQTT | Works Local | Works with Zigbee USB stick, no Xiaomi hub, alongside Aqara button and Tradfri lightsSaved copyI’ve started using, since last week, the Zigbee2mqtt setup as an experiment. Works like a charm. Got Aqara motion sensors connected, an Aqara button and ikea TRÅDFRI lights. So no Xiaomi hub but the Zigbee usb in my raspberry pi and only end devices of Xiaomi. Waiting on my next delivery now :) Really worth to take a look at! Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2019-01 | |
| Not named | Partly works | One user reports 20+ second trigger delaySaved copyI just use Hue motion sensors for the most part. They work, and batteries are AAA, replace every 2 years. No CR bullshit. Aqara motion sensors suck, they took 20+ seconds to trigger and I look like a baboon jumping around trying to get the lights to turn on Excerpt saved from the Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-23. | Reddit comment · 2025-11 |
Each row is one report from a GitHub thread, an integration’s docs, or r/homeassistant. Check the date and the linked source before you buy.
In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
