Zigbee Recommended Hardware
I will gradually fill in the list of products here that I either still own or have had the opportunity to test for a longer period and can recommend with a clear conscience.
Each product on the left shows supported technologies and on the right compatibility with individual Zigbee systems - Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, or deCONZ. If the icon is missing, the device probably won't work or will work only to a limited extent.
Coordinators (Adapters)
The main gateway between Zigbee and the rest of the world. In the case of using Home Assistant, the coordinator is usually connected to the same PC on which Home Assistant runs.

One of the most useful and probably the most common devices in smart homes. You can turn them on and off from Home Assistant, often change the brightness, and in some cases even the color temperature or the color itself. Thanks to being permanently powered, they also spread the Zigbee signal.
