Hello.
is there any plans to use those hubs and any ZigBee integration?
Thank you.

We do currently support a bunch of ZigBee via the bridges sold here in the US (hue, lightify, etc), and will also be launching our own native ZigBee light we have for Z-Wave and INSTEON (where you just need a USB adapter rather than a bridge), but at the moment we don't have any plans for those two as we see them as redundant.
That said, the new plugin feature that's part of 2.0 would allow anyone to add an integration to them if they'd like.
Is there a particular ZigBee device you're looking to use that is not currently supported?

Hey Chris.
I don't see how Xiaomi Smart Hub or Xiaomi at all is redundant, but ok.
I do use a Z-Wave Aeotec Z-Wave Gen 5 USB Stick and it's good.
Well, so far, I only use Fibaro Motion sensor but nothing much right now.
I do have other products by Broadlink but those are WIFI.
Except that, well, just wanted to know how to use ZigBee device because of Xiaomi sensors that I have.
I don't familiar with those protocols other than the Z-Wave one.
I have a light switch which is used with an RF remote.
How can I control it via CastleOS? can I use lighwaveRF for it?
Thanks

The lightswitch the RF remote likely cannot be controlled (LightwaveRF is something else), as that switch is not a true automated switch.
Your ZigBee sensors should work with a regular ZigBee adapter when we launch that plugin, which sensors are they?
They make ZigBee sticks like the Z-Wave stick, that's what we'll be supporting.
