Getting started with Home Assistant
Build around documented integrations and compatible hardware.
Choose the integration
Home Assistant support depends on the specific model, radio and integration. Check current ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT or Matter documentation.
A dongle needs a host
USB coordinators require a suitable host and software. Check firmware, extension cable placement and host compatibility.
Local control is model specific
Confirm the exact integration, firmware and supported functions. App control alone does not establish local control.
