I am no programmer at all but would it be possible to make an app for a zigbee2mqtt?
Nice way to bypass the zigbee from the Homey.
I know most do not like that but i would make life a bit easier
If you are looking for someone to create a new app, there is a Homey Community App Requests topicwhere you can make your request.
Why would you want a dedicated app?
zigbee2mqtt is all about mqtt e.g. use the mqtt client (and optionally server)
I know but if you have a lot of devices and need to make a flow for every device on a mobile phone it takes for ever.
And with a good app you would be able to snif the connected devices and have them added to homey automatic
I agree, the idea of being able to add a zigbee2mqtt device as Homey device would work much easier then creating a list of flows using the MQTT client. For instance, if you have a flow that turns off all lights, it will automatically work if you can add a zigbee2mqtt device as a regular light device.
Zigbee2mqtt is still on my TODO list of “things to check out”. I have a CC2531 dongle, but no programmer (perhaps @TedTolboom has one?).
No, I don’t have a programmer.
I have a stick already and another one on its way including a programmer.
I have it running now with Domoticz and HA and works great.
If you don’t want to buy a programmer you can buy a cc2531 flashed with the right firmware from flashedfirmware.com. I bought one flashed as concentrator and one as router and I am pretty happy
I’ve been using zigbee2mqtt with Node RED to complement Homey. This works but isn’t ideal.
Now with MQTT Hub version 2.2.0 you could map directly to Homey using the MQTT Device.
