## Why Use Zigbee2MQTT?
1. **No Proprietary Hubs:** Save $50+ per brand
2. **Local Control:** No internet required
3. **Any Brand:** Mix Philips, IKEA, Aqara, etc.
4. **More Features:** Than manufacturer apps
5. **Device Updates:** OTA firmware updates

network_key: GENERATE # Auto-generates on first start
```
3. **Start Container:**
```bash
docker compose up -d zigbee2mqtt
```
4. **Access Web UI:** `http://SERVER_IP:8080`
5. **Pair Devices:**
- In UI: Enable "Permit Join" (top right)
- Or in config: `permit_join: true` and restart
- Put device in pairing mode (usually hold button)
- Device appears in Zigbee2MQTT
- Automatically appears in Home Assistant
- Disable permit join when done!
