Question about Aqara Zigbee WiFi USB Hub E1

The Aqara Hub E1 cannot be used directly as a Zigbee transmitter on a Raspberry Pi 4 with Home Assistant as it is not natively supported in Home Assistant. However, the Hub E1 is ideal for connecting Zigbee devices to the Aqara Home App and can be compatible with other smart home systems such as Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. To control Hue or other Zigbee devices via Home Assistant, other Zigbee adapters specifically designed for Home Assistant may be required.
