# zigpy-deconz — A library which communicates with Deconz radios for zigpy

License: copyleft · Maintenance: active · Downloads: 332.8K/mo

## What it is and what it does

zigpy-deconz is a radio adapter driver for the zigpy Zigbee stack that adds support for Dresden-Elektronik and Phoscon deCONZ-based hardware. It implements the deCONZ serial protocol to communicate with ConBee (I, II, III) and RaspBee (I, II) adapters, allowing these devices to function as Zigbee coordinators in Home Assistant and other zigpy-based applications.

The package depends on voluptuous for configuration validation, zigpy as the core Zigbee framework, and async-timeout for asynchronous communication handling. It is designed to be used as a pluggable radio type within zigpy rather than as a standalone tool, and requires Python 3.8 or later. The project is actively maintained and has no known security vulnerabilities.

Use it for:

- Enable Home Assistant to use ConBee or RaspBee adapters as Zigbee coordinators for controlling Zigbee devices.
- Integrate Dresden-Elektronik deCONZ hardware into custom zigpy-based Zigbee applications.
- Replace or supplement other Zigbee radio drivers in existing zigpy deployments that have ConBee/RaspBee hardware.
- Develop Zigbee automation systems that rely on deCONZ protocol communication with Phoscon adapters.

## Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts above — verify before relying.

Provides a Python interface to deCONZ-based Zigbee radio adapters (ConBee, RaspBee) for use with the zigpy Zigbee stack, enabling communication with these Dresden-Elektronik/Phoscon devices.

Yes, if you have ConBee or RaspBee hardware and need Zigbee support in a zigpy-based system (such as Home Assistant). The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, and carries no known vulnerabilities. The GPL-3.0 copyleft license is standard for this ecosystem and poses no barrier to use in open-source or personal projects. Not applicable if you use different Zigbee hardware.

## Install

pip install zigpy-deconz
uv add zigpy-deconz
poetry add zigpy-deconz

## Installing zigpy-deconz

Before you install: Low friction install with three straightforward dependencies. Active maintenance as of late July 2026, with recent releases and a stable repository.

License in practice: Licensed under GPL-3.0 (copyleft). Any derivative work or distribution must also be open-source under compatible terms; proprietary applications cannot directly incorporate this code.

Quickstart:

pip install zigpy-deconz

import zigpy_deconz
# Use as a zigpy radio type for ConBee/RaspBee device integration

Requires Python 3.8 or later; intended for use within the zigpy ecosystem, typically via Home Assistant or similar Zigbee coordinator software.

Verify before relying:

- Specific deCONZ serial protocol version(s) supported by this release.
- Whether all ConBee/RaspBee hardware variants (I, II, III) are fully supported in version 1.0.0.
- Integration testing status with current Home Assistant releases.
