It sits between Home Assistant and various Zigbee radio adapters (bellows, zigpy-znp, zigpy-deconz, zigpy-xbee, zigpy-zigate, zigpy-ziggurat), allowing you to pair and control Zigbee-based home automation devices without being locked into a specific hardware gateway or proprietary bridge.\n\nThe package depends on zigpy as its core protocol layer and includes support for multiple radio types through separate adapter libraries. It handles device discovery, pairing, and network coordination over low-bandwidth Zigbee mesh networks. The library is actively maintained and designed to work within Home Assistant's ecosystem, though it can be used standalone if you understand the underlying zigpy architecture.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you are using Home Assistant and need Zigbee device support. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and low install friction. It is purpose-built for Home Assistant integration; standalone use requires familiarity with zigpy and radio adapter configuration. The permissive Apache 2.0 license poses no deployment concerns."},"id":"zha","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zha","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zha.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zha/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-29","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"zha","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Library implementing ZHA for Home Assistant"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":76446,"position":14624,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.1.0"}
