I see. I use the Sonoff ZBdongle-E and it’s “invisibly” doing it’s job very well.

When you use Home Assistant with zigbee2mqtt, you can link Homey to the zigbee devices per [zigbee2mqtt community app](https://community.homey.app/t/83214), or [Home Assistant community app](https://community.homey.app/t/71477).  
Or you can run zigbee2mqtt as standalone docker container.

In my humble opinion replacing it with Homey Bridge is a downgrade concerning zigbee.  
But with only 8 zigbee devices the bridge should do the job.

Homey also supports not as many devices as zigbee2mqtt does;  
It’s important to search the homey.app store if all of your zigbee devices are supported.  
Im theory (simple) zigbee lights, switches and plugs should work without an app.
