Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus-ZBDongle-E is a universal Zigbee USB stick. It is based on the EFR32MG21 and comes preinstalled with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3. It can be used as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT or other open source platforms for local control of all Zigbee devices. It supports a wide range of devices such as switches, temperature and humidity sensors, wireless door-/window sensors, etc., and it can manage various subdevices from different brands or flash router firmware to extend the network range.
It is based on the EFR32MG21 and comes preinstalled with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3. It has an SMA connector for an external swivel antenna with +20 dBm output gain to increase signal range. It supports an operating temperature of -10°C~40°C and an operating altitude ≤2000m, so it is intended for indoor use. The aluminum enclosure effectively reduces signal interference caused by peripherals.
You can also develop with this on different platforms such as Linux, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Windows, macOS (Windows and macOS require installation of the corresponding driver). Click here for the SONOFF Dongle Plus guide for using the device with Home Assistant.
