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?

For the Aquara vibration sensors, there is a way to set the sensitivity using Zha. It's not the most intuitive thing, though. There are a bunch of variables that aren't well named, and you just have to know what value to set. I don't have the info at my fingertips, but it is available on the web somewhere.
