Add Zigbee2Mqtt support #283

Closed tim-hellhake closed 3 years ago

Hi @tim-hellhake,

What's the purpose of this pull request exactly? My assumption was that the zigbee2mqtt-adapter would remain a separate adapter to the zigbee-adapter.

What does it mean to "Add Zigbee2Mqtt support" to the existing zigbee adapter? I'm not familiar with how Zigbee2Mqtt works. How is MQTT involved exactly?

Thanks

Hi @benfrancis,

I talked with @mrstegeman about adding drivers for zigbee2mqtt and deconz to this adapter. It's only the part that talks to the mqtt broker and exposes the devices. The zigbee2mqtt-adapter includes a full installation of the zigbee2mqtt stack.
