Trivia Time!
I'm new to this area and working on my Retirement hobby. I moved all of my IoT from Sansung Smarthings to HA. ameriDroid was the preferred partner. I will always buy from ameriDroid when possible. Fast, customer service is great build quality is great. Highly recommend them.
I've migrated/transferred my Zigbee network in home assistant 3 times(with different controllers) and each time the process was filled with anxiety as to whether all the devices would transfer(I have 17 devices). Each time a few of them(Aqara door sensors) would need to be added again and each time a couple devices would need 12-24 hours to reappear. Well, with the ZBT-2 the migration happened in less than FIVE minutes!!!!! All 17 devices transferred and zero delay. It should be illegal for any other controller to be used with home assistant. This migration process with the ZBT-2 was actually quicker than adding a device to the Zigbee network!!!!
A little fiddly but an excellent overall experience.
I bought this to replace a Phillips hue bridge and it works so much more reliably, faster and with better features. I definitely recommend it!
Works great. Also thanks for the proactive support by ameriDroid to resolve any problems with FedEx and get my order delivered.
