Hi all!

Can i simply buy any zigbee device and control them via homey without needing to download an app? Even if it is for a simple on and off control?

Thanks

Gunay

If principle there must be a driver for the device. If it is really a simple on/off device it might work by default, but i never tried that. So no guarantees.  
If the device has more capabilities, then there must be an app to use it (the app supplies the correct driver).
