I’m choosing devices based on how good they work with zha and HA and usually have to browse a bit before settling for something. If they manage to implement this properly, I’m all here for it.
Maybe they should talk to the zigbee device compatibility repository people (or maybe they already have).
I like it. However, as someone who likes to try out stuff from Ali biggest hurdle will be to identify the devices in the first place.
I hope that maybe this database will also help with that… if you can’t identify it, it’ll have less representation, so it won’t be bought… and the quality vendors will start to shine through.
