Hi all,

I live in a detached house with my server set up in the garage. Right now, I’ve only got one Shelly wall switch (Wi-Fi — didn’t realize Zigbee would’ve been the better route).

Other smart devices in the house:

Ajax alarm system with door/window detectors
Tado thermostat and TRVs
Smart washing machine (dryer isn’t smart, they’re stacked)

I’m looking to start building out a Zigbee ecosystem. Could you help me out with:

What’s the best way to kick things off? (Which hub/coordinator to use? Just a usb dongle?)
Which Zigbee sensors/devices do you swear by?

Would love some tips from people who've been down this road. Thanks! 🙌
