I hope <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Zigbee</span></a> can do that.</p><p>As to the brands you mentioned, I bought all of them already. Got the <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Sonoff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sonoff</span></a> dongle because it was readily available, and some <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Aqara" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Aqara</span></a> devices because they're cheap (that's the point). What would you recommend instead?</p><p>I got <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Lutron" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lutron</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Caseta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Caseta</span></a> mostly because of the visual appeal.</p>
