I recommend HUSBZB-1 stick - it’s ZWave/Zigbee combo. I have most of the devices except for ZWave sensors from your list and they work well with HA. M y sensors are all Zigbee, but I do use GE ZWave switches/dimmers and ZWave lock. Neato is supported natively by Home Assistant. I have Botvac D7, but don’t use this integration much. For Arlo cameras I recommend aarlo integration from HACS repository, it works much better than the native one. I switched from ST last year after using it for a few years and absolutely no regrets. HA is just so much powerful. If you use Apple phones you can expose …

I went Hue for mine, but Ikea and a few other companies have their own line. I'd also recommend getting some wall switches for them. Hue has some that run about $25 and will add dimming and scene capabilities. Motion sensors are great for turning lights on/off automatically. I use mine …

I'm experiencing similar frustrations with Zigbee on HA. One thing I can tell you is that the HUSBZB-1 and ZHA won't help. That's what I'm on. I'm going to give the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 dongle a try when they come off backorder. Then probably move back to SmartThings if I'm still having problems.

My zooz stuff works fine. The HUSBZB is a very old stick, it’s not something I’d recommend.
