Question 1

Difference between this and aqara m2 hub?

Accepted Answer

The ConBee II is a universal Zigbee USB gateway, unites Zigbee devices of many vendors and is a cloud free solution.

Question 2

Is this compatible with Comcast/Xfinity door/window sensors?

Accepted Answer

I have tested some motion sensors and can confirm yes it does work.  If you havent installed a sensor yourself or unsure of the process to put the sensor back in pairing mode this could seem like this stick is a no go but i can confirm it works on Visonic K9-85 SMA (Motion), electrical switch plugs.

One issue everyday users might not being able to get over is software to control it.  The web UI for this is.. awful.  But there alternatives out there (IE Home assistant w/DeConz plugin) but this requires setting it up from 'somewhat' scratch.  This isnt an easy plug and play switch over, xfinity has the software/interface already built from the ground up which is nice IMO.  With their recent downgrade on how users can customize their system though (IE turn on light from 1 minute if W/D sensor trips) pairing and setting up yourself gives you more 'freedom' to setup own rules.

Works with raspberrypi

Question 3

Is there a limit to how many hue bulbs I can connect?

Accepted Answer

I have about 10 bulbs, using xiaomi - but its similar ti hue or ikea, seen users in forums that have 25 or more, and it seems that the product support up to 32 sensors (battery operated) but should suppor up to 100-200 lights (powered devices)

Question 4

Is the smart things water leak ( of any water leak ) sensor compatible with this device?

Accepted Answer

It also seem that the water leak is now supported as they are now on their supported sensor list but honestly price wise aqara sensor and button are doing a wonderful job
