It supports multiple ZiGate hardware variants\u2014USB, GPIO (PiZiGate), WiFi, and Ethernet\u2014allowing you to control Zigbee devices like sensors, lights, and switches through a unified Python interface. The package handles serial communication with ZiGate hardware via USB-to-serial or network sockets and includes an integrated firmware flasher tool for updating device firmware.\n\nThe package depends on voluptuous (configuration validation), zigpy (the core Zigbee stack), pyusb (USB communication), and gpiozero (GPIO control for PiZiGate variants). It requires Python 3.11 or later and is commonly used within Home Assistant's ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) component to manage Zigbee networks. No known security vulnerabilities are recorded.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own ZiGate hardware and need to integrate it with zigpy or Home Assistant. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and includes built-in firmware flashing. The GPL-3.0 copyleft license is standard for this ecosystem. Verify that your ZiGate firmware version meets the 3.1a minimum (3.1d+ recommended) before installing."},"id":"zigpy-zigate","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zigpy-zigate","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/zigpy-zigate.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/zigpy-zigate/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-20","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"zigpy-zigate","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"A library which communicates with ZiGate radios for zigpy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":206615,"position":9568,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.14.0"}
