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?

Thanks for all the input. It seems that since everything is working fine for me I should just keep using ZHA. Maybe when I have plenty of free time I'll migrate to get the extra features but it's not something that I've missed.

Yeah, I just started and the fact that ZHA was "already there" was a huge plus for me.

I just hope Matter catches up before I find a limitation in ZHA.
