Together with the zigpy library and a home automation software application with compatible Zigbee gateway implementation, (such as for example the **[Home Assistant's ZHA integration component](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/)**), you can directly control Zigbee devices from most product manufacturers, like; IKEA, Philips Hue, Inovelli, LEDVANCE/OSRAM, SmartThings/Samsung, SALUS/Computime, SONOFF/ITEAD, Xiaomi/Aqara, and many more.

# Back-story and use cases

This is currently an 'as-is' independent and unofficial implementation radio library for zigpy, as such should be considered experimental and you should only expect best-effort support from volunteers in the open-source community!

Zigbee NCP support for ZOI (ZBOSS Open Initiative) based Zigbee radios compatible with ZBOSS NCP firmware for zigpy based Zigbee gateway implementation is still in very early development.

Development is initially focused on Zigbee Coordinator functionality Nordic Semiconductor's development kit hardware which has been tested to be compatible. Those also officially recognized as Zigbee-Compliant platforms by the CSA (Connectivity Standards Alliance, formerly the Zigbee Alliance), of which both [DSR Cooperation](https://pt.dsr-corporation.com/news/zboss-open-initiative-in-2021/) and [Nordic Semiconductor](https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/zboss/) are board and promoter members of.

# Hardware requirements

Nordic Semi USB adapters and development kits/boards based on nRF52840 SoC are used as reference hardware in the zigpy-zboss project:
