zigpy is Zigbee protocol stack integration project to implement the Zigbee Home Automation standard as a Python 3 library.
Zigbee Home Automation integration with zigpy allows you to connect one of many off-the-shelf Zigbee adapters using one of the available Zigbee radio library modules compatible with zigpy to control Zigbee based devices. There is currently support for controlling Zigbee device types such as binary sensors (e.g., motion and door sensors), sensors (e.g., temperature sensors), lightbulbs, switches, and fans.
zigpy contains common code implementing Zigbee ZCL, ZDO and application state management which is being used by various radio libraries implementing the actual interface with the radio modules from different manufacturers. The separate radio libraries interface with radio hardware adapters/modules over USB and GPIO using different native UART serial protocols.
Reference implementation of the zigpy library exist in Home Assistant (Python based open source home automation software) as part of its ZHA integration component.
For specific instructions on how-to install and test zigpy or contribute bug-reports and code to this project please see the guidelines in the CONTRIBUTING.md file:
This CONTRIBUTING.md file will contain information about using zigpy, testiing new releases, troubleshooting and bug-reporting as, as well as librar + code instructions for developers and more.
You can contribute to this project either as an end-user, a tester (advanced user contributing constructive issue/bug-reports) or as a developer contributing code.
Radio libraries for zigpy include bellows (which communicates with EZSP/EmberZNet based radios), zigpy-xbee (which communicates with XBee based Zigbee radios), and as zigpy-deconz for deCONZ serial protocol (for communicating with ConBee and RaspBee USB and GPIO radios from Dresden-Elektronik). There are also experimental radio libraries called zigpy-zigate for communicating with ZiGate based radios and zigpy-cc for communicating with Texas Instruments based radios based radios that have custom Z-Stack coordinator firmware.

New packages of tagged versions are also released via the "zigpy" project on PyPI
Older packages of tagged versions are still available on the "zigpy-homeassistant" project on PyPI
Packages of tagged versions of the radio libraries are released via separate projects on PyPI
ZHA deviation handling in Home Assistant relies on the third-party ZHA Device Handlers project. Zigbee devices that deviate from or do not fully conform to the standard specifications set by the Zigbee Alliance may require the development of custom ZHA Device Handlers (ZHA custom quirks handler implementation) to for all their functions to work properly with the ZHA component in Home Assistant. These ZHA Device Handlers for Home Assistant can thus be used to parse custom messages to and from non-compliant Zigbee devices. The custom quirks implementations for zigpy implemented as ZHA Device Handlers for Home Assistant are a similar concept to that of Hub-connected Device Handlers for the SmartThings platform as well as that of zigbee-herdsman converters as used by Zigbee2mqtt, meaning they are each virtual representations of a physical device that expose additional functionality that is not provided out-of-the-box by the existing integration between these platforms.
zha-custom-radios adds support for custom radio modules for zigpy to [Home Assistant's ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) integration component]. This custom component for Home Assistant allows users to test out new modules for zigpy in Home Assistant's ZHA integration component before they are integrated into zigpy ZHA and also helps developers new zigpy radio modules without having to modify the Home Assistant's source code.
