[REQUEST] Implement support for new native tcp:// protocol for TCP/IP connection in Home Assistant's ZHA integration?

[Hedda]

puddly and agners have implemented a new zigpy packet API and native tcp:// protocol that the ZHA integration will not be able to use.

Their new tcp:// protocol will allow the ZHA integration and zigpy radio library/libraries to communicate with the radio using TCP/IP which should make for a much faster and more stable connection over a network in theory.

Could you maybe look into implementing this in your ESP firmware builds as an alternative to tunnelling via the ser2net style serial stream server with socket:// protocol (using pyserial)?

This has been implemented in upstream zigpy-znp and bellows radio libraries but does not think it is yet available in ZHA integration(?).
