So I found out my IKEA Tradfri bridge is no longer supported for some of the newer IKEA smart home hardware. Kinda frustrating!
So I was considering maybe upgrading to the new Dirigera bridge but someone helpfully pointed me towards Zigbee2MQTT. So I got myself a compatible stick to try and... hey, this is actually pretty cool!
I'm still quite new with it, but moving my lights from the IKEA hub to Zigbee2MQTT took... less then half an hour, including rebuilding my Home Assistant automations.
