Okay, but consider ConBee

RaspBee works very well on my Raspberry Pi 4B running deCONZ in a container. However, I would recommend buying ConBee for several reasons. :- Not every Linux distribution, even with Raspberry Pi-customized variants, works well with the Pi's GPIO interface. For example, I've found that Debian 10 arm64 doesn't work. Configuration is more straightforward, especially on distros where raspbi-config isn't available (i.e. most) you'll need to modify both config.txt and cmdline.txt (many install…

Pros
  • High range via signal booster
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Designed for modems

Simple ZigBee hub in one module. Not compatible with most cooling solutions so install it first and see if you can even install a heatsink. Supports Zigbee HA 1.2, Zigbee ZLL and Zigbee 3.0 only via vendor's software package. Most programs that claim support simply interact as a client with the Phoscon Gateway software.

Pros
  • Universal Raspberry Pi Zigbee gateway, integrates many Zigbee products
Cons
  • Compatibility

Hardware A+, Software B+

Awesome hardware. Large selection. Ease of installation. Excellent price. That's all I want My main problem is the software. The software struggles when there are power issues, it's been widely reported on their GitHub and there's no doubt they're working on a fix, but it's still quite annoying. The only way I've found to fix this when I'm having a power issue is to reset everything, which is annoying.

Pros
  • For Raspberry Pi 1, 2B, 3B, 3B+ and 4B (must be purchased separately)
Cons
  • Not sure
