Why not to use zigbee-herdsman?

[yaneony]

I just wonder why not to use well established solution for ZigBee which is also used by home assistant integration?

https://github.com/koenkk/zigbee-herdsman

It has good API and already has wide range of devices.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing, on my side I was not aware of this project.
Do you know the coverage difference with Z2M on the compatibility, dev speed and device support?

I don't know the difference, but it's used by https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt and devices are listed here https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/

We are using zigbee2mqtt container (and so library) to discuss with Zigbee devices and transform messages in MQTT.
This tool is based on zigbee-herdsman and has the same compatibility devices list.

https://github.com/GladysAssistant/Gladys/blob/master/server/services/zigbee2mqtt/lib/installZ2mContainer.js

But some transformation needs to be done in the device object and message object to align with the Gladys Core abstract model (device/feature/value).
