An upcoming project of mine is to setup magic mirror: https://magicmirror.builders/

Then start moving my other stuff onto the rpi as well like pihole for example.

I wonder if RPI has a zigbee module or similar for automation. It doesn't seem like it? Anyone ever find anything like that?



I have the ARP1600 board which has an xbee slot plus a bunch of other useful stuff.

Take a look at Zigbee2MQTT. Works on Pi with Zigbee USB sticks. Integrates with Home Assistant.


Jeff has it covered (It's coming soon): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJFsZL5CTgM


Beside several USB dongle options there is the RaspBee II module for the io header https://phoscon.de/en/raspbee2


You can use a USB module, or wifi-zigbee bridge devices from vendors like Sonoff are also supported.
