What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating? (lemmy.world)

I've over 40 zigbee devices and am currently using ZHA but keep seeing people recommending using zigbee2mqtt. But I can't work out if it's worth the time re-importing all the devices or not.

What are the benefits of using zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it easy to move over if that's the best way to go?

I moved from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT because I had a few devices (mainly xiaomi/aqara) misbehaving on ZHA.

It depends on your use case and with many thread/matter devices coming out this year I’m not sure if you even need to switch unless you have specific devices in mind not supported on ZHA.
