Is the stack Home Assistant, ComBee II with Aqara, Ikea, Mijia (option Home assistant) makes sense? - Lemmy.world

Hello, i am a newbie in creating a smart home. I have researched a bit and planned the following stack just by reading and hopefully to get some suggestion to see if the following combinations would actually work #### Goal I am planning the main control to be Home Assistant if possible (Homekit a nice to have, not necessity). I was looking at hubs (Aqara, Xiaomi, Ikea, Homepod) but a comment from r/aqara suggests that ComBee II [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZ7ZHG5?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share] is potentially a better solution #### Components that i think might work - Home Assistant + ComBee II: as the brain power - Light bulbs: ikea rgb and aqara white/cream colour - sensor: aqara - curtain driver: aqara [https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/aqara-roller-shade-driver-e1] - smart socket/plug: ikea and aqara #### Components not sure how to integrate - Mijia sensors + display [https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/275298269753?chn=ps&_ul=AU&_trkparms=ispr%3D1&amdata=enc%3A1YHbt6D4ZSECMzOn87tgtHg40&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-139619-5960-0&mkcid=2&mkscid=101&itemid=275298269753&targetid=1598469862478&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9071772&poi=&campaignid=19657035767&mkgroupid=143201283022&rlsatarget=pla-1598469862478&abcId=9305369&merchantid=510834583]: This is bluetooth device that works as sensor but main i am just looking to display - Aqara door bell [https://www.amazon.com/Aqara-Doorbell-Included-Recognition-Automations/dp/B0BPHTL7MG]: not sure if this is a zigbee 3 device or not - Other bluetooth device - Xiaomi vacuum: not sure what protocol but isn’t the biggest matter - Unsure which brand is good for security cams #### questions - Any idea if the above makes sense in practice? - Any experience on the few items that I wasn’t sure of?
