[ZigBee Home Automation](http://www.zigbee.org/zigbee-for-developers/applicationstandards/zigbeehomeautomation/)
integration for Home Assistant allows you to connect many off-the-shelf ZigBee
devices to Home Assistant, using a compatible ZigBee radio.
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
- [Binary Sensor](../binary_sensor.zha) (e.g. motion and door sensors)
- [Sensor](../sensor.zha) (e.g. temperature sensors)
- [Light](../light.zha)
- [Switch](../switch.zha)
Known working ZigBee radios:
- Nortek/GoControl Z-Wave & Zigbee USB Adaptor - Model HUSBZB-1
To configure the component, a `zha` section must be present in the `configuration.yaml`,
and the path to the serial device for the radio and path to the database which will persist your network data is required.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
zha:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB2
database_path: zigbee.db
```
Configuration variables:
- **usb_path** (*Required*): Path to the serial device for the radio.
- **database_path** (*Required*): Path to the database which will keep persistent network data.
To add new devices to the network, call the `permit` service on the `zha` domain, and then follow the device instructions.
