Home Assistant compatibility questions (lemmy.zip)

Hello,

I don't have any 'smart' items in my house (or home assistant currently) but I want to set this up but I have questions about compatibility with hardware before I purchase. They have a integration page does that mean all of those hardware devices work? Or do some work better than others? According to a person on Reddit they recommend https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ I'm just curious if anything has changed in the past year. Or if anyone here has a list of recommendations. I plan to start with some lights and a thermostat.

Cheers and thanks.

If it has constant power, skip all the zwave and zigbee stuff. I landed on Lutton Caseta Diva dimmers. My thermostat is a Honeywell T9.

If it doesn't have constant power, skip that too 😁

The dimmers use a hub. A concession I was willing to make for the 100% reliability the system brings

The thermostat is WiFi, and I have it blocked from the Internet in my router.
