What is a good starter setup for ZigBee? (lemmy.ca)

I am looking for a setup that does not need to phone home to the vendors servers. Is the Philips Hue Bridge a good hub? Can you work with most of the Philips Hue stuff without phoning home?

I use this one https://www.mylocalbytes.com/products/sonoff-zbdongle-zigbee-usb-3-0-dongle-plus works well and they provide great support.

I've got the same one and it's rock solid. Plugged into a Raspberry Pi running Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and Node-RED. It's the best setup I've ever had. Node-RED also makes it so convenient to assign actions to remotes.
