Home Assistant ZHA integration (and zigpy) device support without custom ZHA-quirks (ZHA Device Handlers)?

[Hedda]

@ffenix113 FYI, I think you should be interested in joining and contributing to this zigpy discussion about "Quirks V2" as will make it easier for users of your project:

zigpy/zigpy#1312 ("[RFC] Quirks v2").

Above is a request for change to enable zigpy library to allow for "generic" device handlers / quirks which should make it easier to add support for non-standard Zigbee devices to Home Assistant's ZHA integration, which is something that can be a pain point for users of DIY and devices with odd features and functions:

• https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha
  • https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#knowing-which-devices-are-supported
    • https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#how-to-add-support-for-new-and-unsupported-devices

As I understand the idea/concept is very similar to Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt#20358 (continuation of Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt#20173) for Z2M.

I believe the main device is that custom quirks (device handlers/converters/parsers/translators) will still be needed for ZHA inside the ZHA Device Handlers repository, (which is updated very often in Home Assistant via "zha-quirks" on PyPi), but at least users do not need to update the zha component code inside Home
Assistant code.

PS: Even if that zigpy RFC with "Quirks V2" for ZHA is not implemented you might still be interested in improving this quirk-generator:

Hello Hedda,
Thank you for the information, but I don’t think that at this point in time I might have anything useful to add there.
But I will keep it in mind if situation changes.

Thank you!
