Tired of the unreliable connectivity of Wifi when controlling critical stuff like lights, I want to move to Zigbee.

I’m going to move everything to the Hue bulbs, but I want to use something connected directly to HA for the hub. Anyone have some clear advice on a good, available USB dongle for Home Assistant, config/setup/adding Hue lights?

    I’m running a Sonoff usb dongle on a Debian Bookworm and a Lenovo Tiny PC. (I tried a RaspberryPi4 2gb but with Debian not enough memory) . but without the ZigBeeMQTT as that just kept give me problems, home assistant recognises the dongle on it’s own and all works just fine, so Debian, Mosquitto, HomeAssitant supervisor and the Sonoff dongle

      Perfect, this is super helpful. I ordered a Conbee per comments below, I expect it’ll work as well as your sonoff.
