Hi Chris,

Welcome here. The ZBT-2 _can not_ be connected with Homey, Homey is designed to use its own radio’s and offers no support for external devices as its radios or antennas.

That said, there’s a workaround when you don’t want to use Homey’s internal radios: Since you have Home Assistant you could run Zigbee2MQTT on it and import the Zigbee devices with the [[APP][Pro] Zigbee2MQTT - Use Zigbee devices via MQTT](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-zigbee2mqtt-use-zigbee-devices-via-mqtt/83214) app by Robin Gruijter.

That way your Home Assistant handles the Zigbee part of things and you can use Homey as the logic controller for your automations.
