Currently I'm using a mix of Hue for lighting and Tradfri for blinds and switches. What are some good brands to expand a smarthome? Are some brands better for a specific category?

I buy everything, long as it's in the zigbee2mqtt library I'm good to go.

If it's cheap enough it's worth a go. For anyone new to Zigbee, always check the Zigbee device database to check compatibility with your platform.
