Thanks for your answers Daniel and Admin.
I'm happy to hear I'm not the only one that has the same thoughts about zigbee and standards.
I thought the zigbee alliance would have the same 'sort of' standardisation as knx, where devices from numerous manufacturers, as far as my experience goes, just work.
It's a pity to see such an opportunity evolving to the same wild-west secenarios of many technologies.
Whereas you should be able to make a choice for a sensor based on features, reliability,etc ..., the main concern is if matches the zigbee configuration you personally have and even then you have to make compromises because you're probably stuck with the firmware it left the factory...only those dedicated same branded zigbee coördinators know how to do ota updates for their own devices. Seeing other 'standards' emerge such as matter an thread I'm wondering how this will evolve...
I'm happy to hear the rs232 version has zstack3! Is there a roadmap for upgrading this to future standards or versions?
Thanks for the device list, I'll save that in my bookmarks and also thanks for the effort and support in adding new profiles for the LM!
I understand that you don't want to put effort in the Bosch smart plugs, it's a niche product also a closed system.
Maybe someone with time on it's hands, the necessary knowledge and in possession of such Bosch Smart plugs can make a script to pair such complex devices. Apparently it's possible as the folks at zigbee2mqtt did it. But I'm not able to realize that.
