Some hardware arrives already smart: it speaks a protocol out of the box and joins a system with no soldering and little setup. Smart plugs, Zigbee and Matter devices, and cheap Bluetooth sensors all fit here. This is the fastest way onto the system path, and it pairs naturally with Home Assistant.
What’s here. 3
- Wi-Fi plugs and relays: Shelly, Sonoff, and Tasmota-flashable gear.
- Zigbee, Z-Wave, Matter, and Thread: Low-power mesh sensors and switches, all local.
- Bluetooth (BLE) sensors: Govee and SwitchBot, heard by the BLE Listener.
- Cameras and detectors: Leak, door, and motion sensors. (coming)
