Goodbye Zigbee2mqtt...Hello ZHA

I have been running Zigbee2mqtt in Home Assistant for a long time. But my recent move, and perhaps a future platform move, gave me reason to go with ZHA this time.

So lets talk getting started with ZHA, plus a real easy method of flashing the Sonoff USB stick. Plus we will talk some of my favorite Zigbee Devices.
