How to connect to Zigbee devices?
I think I finally found a topic the Arch wiki doesn't cover :)
I have a Zigbee USB dongle and some Zigbee-capable wireless devices. The dongle is supposed to create a network to which the devices can connect over Zigbee. How do you actually control this from Arch Linux?
Is there something analogous to Network Manager for wifi or BlueZ for Bluetooth?

Hello, fellow Arch user. I had never heard of this wireless protocol until reading your question. A web search for zigbee linux
brings up Zigbee2MQTT and a couple pages with setup instructions:
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/getting-started/
https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/01_linux.html
It appears after setup is completed controls can be accessed through a browser connecting to port 8080 on localhost or your remote server.
I don't have hardware to properly test this, but if you succeed, perhaps you could add one more topic to the Arch wiki.
