zigpy 0.24.3

Library implementing a ZigBee stack

zigpy

zigpy is Zigbee protocol stack integration project to implement the Zigbee Home Automation standard as a Python 3 library.

Zigbee Home Automation integration with zigpy allows you to connect one of many off-the-shelf Zigbee adapters using one of the available Zigbee radio library modules compatible with zigpy to control Zigbee based devices. There is currently support for controlling Zigbee device types such as binary sensors (e.g., motion and door sensors), sensors (e.g., temperature sensors), lightbulbs, switches, and fans.

Zigbee coordinator hardware from many different hardware manufacurer are support via radio libraries which translate their propriatory communication protocol into a common API which is shared among all radio libraries for zigpy. If some Zigbee coordinator hardware for other manufacurers is not supported yet by zigpy it is possible for any independent developer to step-up and develop a new radio library for zigpy which translates its propriatory communication protocol into the common API that zigpy can understand.

zigpy contains common code implementing Zigbee ZCL, ZDO and application state management which is being used by various radio libraries implementing the actual interface with the radio modules from different manufacturers. The separate radio libraries interface with radio hardware adapters/modules over USB and GPIO using different native UART serial protocols.

Reference implementation of the zigpy library exist in Home Assistant (Python based open source home automation software) as part of its ZHA integration component.

Compatible Zigbee coordinator hardware

Radio libraries for zigpy are separate projects with their own repositories and these include bellows (for communicating with Silicon Labs EmberZNet based radios), zigpy-deconz (for communicating with deCONZ based radios from Dresden Elektronik), and zigpy-xbee (for communicating with XBee based Zigbee radios), zigpy-znp and zigpy-cc for communicating with newer and older Texas Instruments based radios that have Z-Stack 3.x.x or Z-Stack Home 1.2.x ZNP coordinator firmware respectivly, and zigpy-zigate for communicating with ZiGate based radios.

Note! Zigbee 3.0 support or not in zigpy depends primarly on your Zigbee coordinator hardware and its firmware. Some Zigbee coordinator hardware support Zigbee 3.0 but might be shipped with an older firmware which do not, in which case may want to upgrade the firmware manually yourself. Some other Zigbee coordinator hardware may not support a firmware that is capable of Zigbee 3.0 at all but can still be fully functional and feature complete for your needs, (this is very common as many if not most Zigbee devices do not yet Zigbee 3.0 or are backwards-compable with a Zigbee profile that is support by your Zigbee coordinator hardware and its firmware). As a general rule, newer Zigbee coordinator hardware released can normally support Zigbee 3.0 firmware and it is up to its manufacturer make such firmware available for them.

ZHA Device Handlers

ZHA deviation handling in Home Assistant relies on the third-party ZHA Device Handlers project. Zigbee devices that deviate from or do not fully conform to the standard specifications set by the Zigbee Alliance may require the development of custom ZHA Device Handlers (ZHA custom quirks handler implementation) to for all their functions to work properly with the ZHA component in Home Assistant. These ZHA Device Handlers for Home Assistant can thus be used to parse custom messages to and from non-compliant Zigbee devices. The custom quirks implementations for zigpy implemented as ZHA Device Handlers for Home Assistant are a similar concept to that of Hub-connected Device Handlers for the SmartThings platform as well as that of zigbee-herdsman converters as used by Zigbee2mqtt, meaning they are each virtual representations of a physical device that expose additional functionality that is not provided out-of-the-box by the existing integration between these platforms.
