Heyho,

I am looking for smart devices - currently interior blinds and lights that support Zigbee - and thought why not take a look at the European market.

As far as I can tell most products come from china, but maybe someone here knows more than me :)

EDIT: So sadly it looks like there is no real european smart home stuff out there.

I switched to IKEA home automation for the most components.

It is Zigbee and with the newest stuff Matter. Quite affordable and mostly well thought out

I quite like the IKEA bulbs and buttons, but not their base station, I just use a standard zigbee one.

However, I don't want matter, I just want zigbee. Its well behaved, a known quantity and they're light bulbs. Giving them an IP stack is just increasing the attack target footprint. I do not understand the benefits or appeal of it.

I migrated all devices to a Computer with Zigbee USB stick as controller/hub. I‘ve also seen hubs that can handle multiple brands.
