How to Add Zigbee Devices in Home Assistant

Описание: This video is a bit longer than my previous videos, but there is a log to talk about it.

After getting Home Assistant up and running, the next step is adding devices.  Well, maybe it's deciding what devices to add, but if you want to add Zigbee devices, then this is the video for you.

We are going to cover three different ways to get your Zigbee devices into Home Assistant from installing the necessary add-ons, to adding actual devices.

So if Oh the Zigbee is your mantra, then grab your devices, and let's automate some boring stuff.
