The Matter integration (and Matter Server add-on) co-ordinates provisioning and control of all Matter Wi-Fi and Thread devices. If you have a Matter certified device that’s based on the Thread protocol, you can add it to HA by using your phone and the companion app. Summary Based on Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 MCU. EmberZNet Zigbee NCP (coordinator) firmware image builds from ITead available here (opens new window).
Supported Adapters | Zigbee2MQTT
The Z-Wave and Zigbee mPCIe adapter supports Z-Wave and Zigbee / Thread / Bluetooth Low Energy (on your choice, selected by firmware update). Based on Silabs EFR32MG21P and ZGM130S.I’ve been using a conbee2 with zigbee2mqtt without any issues for the last 12 months. Older firmware versions have been buggy and need to be updated. The general recommendation today is to buy a Zigbee Coordinator USB radio adapter based on the Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 SoC if you use Home Assistant’s own ZHA integration or instead buy a Zigbee Coordinator USB radio adapter based on the Texas Instruments CC2652P SoC if you use Zigbee2MQTT, (and if you use deCONZ/ Phoscon then buy a ConBee II adapter). See example: Pros: Works out-of-the-box with Z2M, all my devices were supported, all entities were provided, quite powerful signal strength. The dev is very helpful/supportive in case you run into problems. Note that not all configuration parameters are available with all coordinators. # Link Key (zigbee_linkkey) USB dongle is originally a DIY design from Modkam (Russian speaking Zigbee DIY community) open in new window and it using pre-flashed "SM-011 V1.0" (ZYZBP008) radio module from CoolKit-Technologies open in new window (which has a Silabs EFR32MG21 Zigbee SoC chip on it).

The Concentrator is used to improve routing within a ZigBee network, and is especially useful in a network where much of the traffic is sent to or from a central coordinator. If the coordinator has sufficient memory, it can store routing information, thus reducing network traffic. Similarly, to make the device emit a squawk (by siren and/or strobe signal), a command of type String must be sent to the channel, where the command encodes the configuration of the squawk. This will log data into the standard openhab.log file. There is an online log viewer (opens new window) available for viewing the logs.
Note that this value should be given as a number in the configuration file, without quotes. Also note that, technically, you are not bound to using the values from the table. But if you use an arbitrary number of seconds, not corresponding to one of the predefined periods, it might not be possible to display the configured value correctly in the UI. # Concentrator Type (zigbee_concentrator)

Chips starting with CC1352 support the sub-1 GHz frequency (which is not relevant for Zigbee since it uses 2.4 GHz), CC2652 only supports 2.4 GHz. So for Zigbee2MQTT purposes there is no difference between CC1352 and CC2652. The openHAB command line interface provides a number of commands to interact with the ZigBee framework. These can provide useful options for debugging when things aren't going as planned, and can also provide advanced users a means to make changes that are not possible directly through the binding. This section will provide information on a few common issues that users may come up against, but is not an exhaustive user manual for low level ZigBee commands.

Some of that will be also due to the limited range of the IKEA button. Currently the openHAB main UI doesn't support the firmware management system, so this must be performed using the console. # When things don't appear to be working
