Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2
It does ZigBee also bit you can only run one protocol at a time.
I bought one for yhe exact reason you stated; trying out IKEA stuff. My setup is similar also.
Good luck!
Hold up the ZBT2 will only work as matter or zigbee at a time? Can you use two or do you need to picka protocol to separate out to another controller?
