The new Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 is here.

I just bought and setup the Connect ZBT-1 a few weeks ago... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

When they first released ZHA the interface was very barebones compared to Z2M. I saw the current Home Assistant interface in their stream on the ZBT-2 and it looks a lot more like a proper Zigbee interface now.

I don't think there is going to be much of a performance difference between ZHA and Z2M, mostly just how you interact with it.

Affirmative. Well I only used ZHA but came from Philips(Signify) Hue only system, so don't have much comparison but I did have some expectations. Overal setup and usage has been fine, but ofc N=1 and my setup is not your setup :) .

My setup: 2 floors, ~70m2 ~15 lights ~10 switches ~10 motion sensors
