Zigbee

I like Zigbee, I really do, but the number of devices which don’t conform to the standards and thus don’t work with Home Assistant out-of-a-box is just mind-boggling. Just yesterday I received 2 Sonoff buttons which don’t work without some additional magic (sidenote: Using a well hidden zha_event events. I posted about it on Home Assistant forums) ). The thing is: I have 5 other models of this button, bought a year ago which work flawlessly. Instead of following the good old rule of “don’t touch things which work”, Sonoff decided to break their devices during this year. I had a very similar story with Aqara button earlier this month. It’s crazy.
