Setting up Zigbee with Home Assistant - Unlock the full potential! (Part 2: Zigbee Bridge Pro)

Zigbee is a wireless mesh networking protocol that is utilized in a variety of consumer and industrial applications. Mesh networks are formed by Zigbee devices, which means that a majority of mains-powered devices can operate as a repeater for other devices in the network. This makes Home Assistant the ideal candidate in my opinion, as it allows us to control our devices without relying on cloud services.
