✏️ Features

• Add Zigbee2MQTT Light Controller (Z2MLightController). Until now we had an option to listen from MQTT, but light commands will always go through HA Light integration. This new controller allows you to interact directly with Zigbe2MQTT commands to interact with your lights. This means that you can leverage the hold actions that Zigbee2MQTT offers with barely no lag and much more smoother than Light Controller hold actions. However, it is not as flexible and does not offer as many options as Light Controller does. Many of the existing devices now have support to Z2MLightController, and you can use it in the class as you can now use LightController as well. You can read more about it here. [ #118, #168 ]
• Allow passing the delay time (in seconds) to release_delay attribute. [ #497 ]

🔨 Fixes

• ⚠️ Change Hue Dimmer mapping for Zigbee2MQTT to be compatible with legacy: false mapping. This option will need to be enabled from Zigbee2MQTT. [ #496 ]

🎮 New devices

• HueSmartButton - add Z2M support. [ #498 ]
