I use Zigbee2MQTT in a separate Docker container (so I can restart them independently) and the Zigstar Olizig as a PoE Coordinator. The frient smoke sensors show up in HA automatically after pairing and you can trigger their alarm in an automation with the switch service. Aeotec Range Extender Zi has also worked great and can easily be opened and wired into mains power. I'm very happy with Zigbee2MQTT so far, the community on github is active and I got immediate feedback on a new device I wanted to support.

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.
