What are the benefits of zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it worth migrating? (lemmy.world)

I've over 40 zigbee devices and am currently using ZHA but keep seeing people recommending using zigbee2mqtt. But I can't work out if it's worth the time re-importing all the devices or not.

What are the benefits of using zigbee2mqtt over ZHA and is it easy to move over if that's the best way to go?

Some things that you might notice are devices going through battery much faster than you might expect, this has to do with the implementation of battery reporting on some devices under ZHA, I can't say who's fault it's it, but at least on Z2M you can even set the reporting intervals manually (if the device supports this)
