Aqara sensors via ConBee 2	Works	Added easily and show up in HomeKit Saved copy … to help. Homebridge is on a Pi. Yesterday I fought with mqtt and a Sonoff USB stick and lost the battle. Twice. So I went with the deconz plugin and a Conbee 2. Managed that quite easy and added a bunch of Aqara sensors. All showing up on HomeKit. But now the iPhones used for location in automations no longer appear in any of the Home apps, Home+, Eve etc. I've checked all the settings on both phones and nothing has changed. Any ideas anyone?

IKEA Tradfri bulbs via Phoscon RaspBee II	Works	Possible for adaptive lighting; a user runs RaspBee on a Pi for 5 years Saved copy Yes, I have had a raspbee on a Pi4 for about 5 years now, I think it’s awesome, never fails. I also use ikea bulbs, along with aqara sensors. If you only have a pi, I don’t see any benefit of a conbee, I have a homemade / 3D printed rack that hold 4 pi in my server rack. If I had a USB stick hanging from the front I might knock it off with a patch lead. Nothing wrong with using it with homebridge, works perfectly fine and simple. The phoscon software is in the pi image, the hue-plug in one of the best plugins in constant development. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2023-03

Philips Hue motion sensor with deCONZ	Works	Works with IKEA bulbs and Xiaomi sensors without flaw Saved copy Use the Ikea Bulbs in combination with a DeConz/Phoscon Gateway, having the freedom to pair any Zigbee-related based device you want in the future.

Sonoff ZR1, IKEA bulbs, Gledopto bulbs and Aqara sensors	Works	Mixed Zigbee devices work well; Moes relays and dimmers also work Saved copy That’s the best idea - I have a mixed bag - aqara sensors, ikea bulbs, sonoff zr1, gledopto bulbs and they work really well. I kinda ignore the list and just try things, I found moes relays / dimmer relays work and they aren’t on the list afaik Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Tuya 4-way switch TS0044 (_TZ3000_mh9px7cq)	Works	Added after report; single, double and long press work Saved copy Hi, i have tuya 4 way switch, which is detected in deconz as: _TZ3000_mh9px7cq . When adding the switch in homebridge it says unknown ZHAswitch. It is just a different version from model TS0044. (see https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/6344) and was added in deconz. Can you add this device ? or do I need to do something else ?

Tuya/Aqara-style Zigbee temp sensors via ConBee II	Works	Two sensors working via DeConz; Eve app shows history Saved copy Got my two sensors connected through DeConz via ConBee II. Works like a charm. My sensors are labeled Aqara but it’s exactly the same as far as I know. However, to get the most use out of them I view them in Eve-app rather than Apple Home. In Eve you get historical graphs as well which is lacking in the normal home app. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit comment · 2022-10
ConBee 2	Partly works	Devices needed exposing through Eve or Home+ app before appearing Saved copy Yes, you ALSO need a 3rd party homekit app to expose the devices ... the homebridge plugin for conbee is really good, but this detail should be mentioned more explicitly Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

ConBee II	Partly works	Needs deCONZ running as a service; works in Docker or systemd Saved copy You must run deCONZ in either graphical or non-graphical mode, as that is what controls all of your zigbee devices via the conbee II. Virtually all of the deCONZ instructions assume that you will be using the rPi in auto-login desktop GUI mode, where deCONZ in GUI mode is auto-started when the desktop GUI starts. Unfortunately, the documentation for how to run deCONZ in non-desktop-GUI/headless mode (e.g., via systemd) is crappily documented. However, if you run deCONZ in non-GUI mode, you lose access to the pretty zigbee network graphs. I have deCONZ running on a headless rPi, but it wasn't … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.	Reddit thread · 2021-06
IKEA Fyrtur blinds	Partly works	Works via ConBee II/CC2652 but loses firmware updates and is painful Saved copy Yes it’s possible, but you need a Zigbee interface, something like ConBee II or CC2652 and you will loose ability to update firmware Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

Samotech SM309 Zigbee switch	Partly works	Not Hue-compatible; works via deCONZ or Zigbee2mqtt with a ConBee II stick Saved copy Looks like that switch works with Deconz & Zigbee2mqtt according to blakadder. You could use a Conbee II zigbee stick and then use Homebridge-deconz or Homebridge-Zigbee2mqtt to expose the switch to Homekit. Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22.

In ReReHome

Whatever this plugin publishes reaches Apple Home as a normal HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.

Bridges get their own settings page listing the accessories behind them.

Caveats from the README

Apple Home shows limited features; Eve or Home+ recommended
