[REQUEST] ZHA Device Handler to handle the unique quirks exception handling implementation in Zigpy about zigpy HOT 4 CLOSED

Decision was made to keep zha-device-handlers as a separate library, moving all quirks into it. This allows zha-device-handlers to be developed/extended at a different pace, without waiting on zigpy releases.
Migrating zha-device-handles into zigpy organization is under progress.

@dmulcahey then how about moving your zha-device-handlers repository to the zigpy organization?

That is, move https://github.com/dmulcahey/zha-device-handlers repo to https://github.com/zigpy org.

That way developers would have all Zigpy related repositories under one single organization.

Please also see the somewhat related suggestion here => #113

@Hedda I think that what quirks offers today is perfect for Zigpy. I personally think that keeping the device-handlers separate is the right move. This offers a few benefits:

They can evolve on their own and at their own pace

They can take advantage of the platform they were written for and they don’t have to remain generic.

I get wanting them available for other application platforms but I think that would limit what they can do. IMO quirks itself is the generic part that any application can use and the device-handlers are the application specific implementation.

EDIT:

"Specialization cannot be exclusively handled above the zigpy abstraction level as some devices require low-level adjustments. One distinguished example is the IKEA Trådfri devices which need to use the ZHA profile ID in the APS frame in ZCL communication."

These types of features would need to be implemented in zigpy

The lib is geared only towards HA and won’t work for anything else so I don’t think this is a good idea but if others feel strongly I’ll consider it
