At the moment I've got https://www.tindie.com/products/electrolama/zzh-cc2652r-multiprotocol-rf-stick/ as my coordinator with Zigbee2MQTT running in Docker.
It's been rock-solid up until about a month ago when I started to see devices dropping off the network.
I've got 44 devices, most of which are wired lightswitches/sockets or Aquara sensors.
I'm wondering if I buy the ZBT-2 as a replacement for my ageing ZZH and place it somewhere more central in the house (I'm assuming it doesn't need a direct USB connection to HA? That's not clear from the website!), giving me both a useful indicator light *and* the option to migrate to Matter in future (I've seen it can't do both at the same time, that's fine, these sensors/switches are going to need to be replaced at some point, some of them are nearly 8 years old!).
Those of you who have already migrated to the ZBT-2 from an existing setup - did you need to do anything major? My big concern is that I'm going to lose most of a day re-pairing all the devices in order to get them to work, so I want to make sure it's worth it!
