I know we already got another thread about this topic, but I wanted to highlight the stance of home assistant for this topic.

I really don’t see how you can argue with this post. Well, I can, but I really don’t want to think about it.

    My Hue lights continue to work when homeassistant is off, isn’t that a normal ZigBee feature? The switches are still connected to the lights.

      I think he’s talking about having a bridge separate from home assistant vs using the zha integration. The former setup will let you control your lights when home assistant is down, the latter will not.

      I just moved from the former to the latter and it’s life changing lol. Added bonus of moving to z2m is binding devices directly to other devices inputs, like switches and motion sensors.
