#Home Assistant: DIY Smart Home - tips and tricks (SSL, HAProxy & Let's Encrypt)
Home Automation, Raspberry Pi | 12 min | 130447
In the last years, I wrote several articles about Home Assistant (HA) and the possibility to replace the Zigbee hubs from different companies in your home using Zigbee2MQTT. Some of those articles are listed here (don't visit the links, they are outdated):

This article extends the tutorial about Hass.io and the Xiaomi Aqara Sensors that I've published months ago. That tutorial is part of the series of articles about Zigbee and the Rasbperry Pi using the CC2531 USB dongle. Here are the links:
#Zigbee: Flashing a CC2531 dongle using a Raspberry Pi
Home Automation, Raspberry Pi | 3 min | 69486
Last April, I published a tutorial about connecting the Aqara sensors to a Raspberry Pi without using the Xiaomi Gateway. To make that possible, I needed a CC Debugger to flash the TI CC2531 Zigbee Dongle. This debugger was used only one time, and then the Zigbee-USB dongle worked without any problem.
In this article, I will cover a way to flash the CC2531 without the CC Debugger. This reduces project costs (about $10 for debugger + cable adapters) and waitin...
#Raspberry Pi: Xiaomi Sensors & Home Assistant (Hass.io)
Home Automation, Raspberry Pi | 5 min | 26362
Last week, I published an article about using Xiaomi sensors without a Xiaomi Gateway. The gateway/hub can be replaced with a Raspberry Pi and a USB-ZigBee dongle. You find the instructions here: #ZigBee: Xiaomi Sensors using Raspberry Pi (without Gateway!).
As you can read in that article, two repositories are available to connect and process the data from the Xiaomi sensors. Additionally, Zigbee2mqtt can be connected to Hass.io. Well, I didn't want to use HassOS (the OS on which hass.io runs), but I wanted to use Hass.io running on Raspbian, otherwise with Home Assistant running as an appli...
#Zigbee: Xiaomi Sensors using Raspberry Pi (without Gateway!)
Home Automation, Raspberry Pi | 6 min | 108546
This tutorial allows you to connect Xiaomi (or Aqara) sensors (e.g. door, pir, temperature, water, switch) to a Raspberry Pi or similar system without using any Xiaomi Gateway.
This is what I will try to accomplish in this tutorial:
- Flash the USB-Zigbee Dongle with the correct FW
- Install a broker to connect to the sensors
- Configure the sensors using the...
