    xAAL Gateway for Z2M

    The main goal of this project is to provide a xAAL Gateway for Zigbee devices. After severals tests with ZHA, we decided to switch to Zigbee2MQTT.

    The main reasons are:

    • ZHA provides a great API, but a lot of devices are not supported.
    • Z2M supports a lot of devices and provides a nice web interface to fine tune devices.
    • Z2M is written in NodeJS and we don't support JS right now.
    • Z2M is a standalone application, so we can run it in a container.

    This gateway simply forwards Z2M events to xAAL bus and vice versa through MQTT. You can now use Z2M without messing with MQTT. Simply run this gateway, Z2M and a broker in a docker container. And you can use your Zigbee devices with xAAL. A docker-compose file is provided to run all services.

    Installation

    TBD

    FAQ

    • Why are you using this gateway instead of Z2M MQTT throught HomeAssistant ? xAAL supports HomeAssistant out of the box. And I don't want to really on MQTT (spof, bad security).
    • Why are you using Go instead of NodeJS or Python ? We don't have a native JS implementation of the xAAL stack right now. And I mainly want to test the Go implementation.
