  Zigbee 🐝 to MQTT bridge 🌉, get rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges 🔨

I personally use Home Assistant on a Raspberry PI 3 (moving to a 4 soon) myself, along with a Conbee II (a USB Zigbee radio) that's hooked up to Zigbee2MQTT, which can connect to Homekit using the Homebridge homebridge-z2m plugin. Home Assistant is great but does require a fair amount of setup. I also could not use the Zooz sensors in my setup unless I bought a Z-Wave radio and then did some additional setup - e.g., following this guide. Compared to other options, Home Assistant has a ton of flexibility. I use Node-Red to write my automations but it also has skills and Feel free to ask me questions about it if you want to learn more - and check out r/homeassistant as well. You don't have to get a Raspberry PI for Home Assistant, either - you could run it on your home PC or buy something like Home Assistant Yellow to run it (though there's quite a bit of lead time on Yellow).

Another option would be to skip Home Assistant and just use Zigbee2MQTT + Homebridge. You could buy a Conbee II or some other device compatible with Zigbee2MQTT, like the Sonoff dongle or a CC2652 device. Then to get it into Homekit you'd need to run Homebridge with the homebridge-z2m plugin plugin on an always-on computer. The Conbee II is about $45 (I believe it used to be cheaper) and the Sonoff dongle is $15 if you get it via their Itead storefront. The Conbee would plug into your computer or PI and you would install and setup Zigbee2MQTT yourself; the Sonoff would connect to your wireless network and would run Zigbee2MQTT. In either case you would also need to set up an MQTT server.
