I don't use Zigbee2MQTT, I just buy appropiate ZHA hardware to keep things simple.
Addons: qBitTorrent, VS Code, File Browser, Advanced Terminal
Integrations: Google Cloud (Text-to-Speech), Haier hOn, Samsung SmartThings, Tuya.
LocalTuya on HACS, it's a bit of a pain to setup and requires you to make a tuya dev account (free) but as far as I can tell you can delete it after, it's just to get the security keys to actually control the devices, and then issue them locally. My devices were much more responsive after doing so
I've flashes LibreTiny (fork of Esphome) on my Tuya devices, on a IR blaster and a relay. Took some time to understand how it worked, but then it worked like a charm. Now they are just esphome devices, no more Tuya stuff.
So far so good. I honestly use it because I bought a couple of things before realising the world of ZHA existed.
☝️ This guy home assists.
I have a homeassistant approved zigbee dongle and it still wouldn't pair properly.
Can I ask what the qBitTorrent add-on does and why you send it through HA?
It's just qBitTorrent (except I think the Qt dependencies are gone and it's full webUI) + some easy OpenVPN configuration if you are into that.
Why I have it as an add-on? Well, I run HAOS in a Raspberry Pi, very low consumption device, so having qBitTorrent seeding 100% of the time with such low consumption makes me happy as I am making everyone happy too.
