    simple solution
    I needed a zigbee dongle and was told this was the go to, and now I see why. It was simple plug and play and is stronger then i expected. I was able to build a zigbee network with fewer devices then I thought. Its a great value and has been chugging along for 2 months with no issues.

    Rock-solid Zigbee performance with Home Assistant
    ‘ve been using the Sonoff Zigbee USB Dongle Plus (ZBDongle) with Home Assistant OS running on an Intel thin client for several months, and it’s performed flawlessly as a Zigbee coordinator.Setup was completely plug-and-play. I didn’t have to flash firmware, install drivers, or tweak any settings. Home Assistant (using the ZHA integration) recognized the dongle immediately, and I was able to begin pairing devices within minutes.So far, I have 43 Zigbee devices connected through it, including a mix of brands like Innovelli, Sengled, SmartThings, IKEA, and Bosch. Everything paired without issue—no quirks, no dropped connections, no endless reboots or retries. Pairing was quick, and the network has remained completely stable.I haven’t experienced any range issues, though I do have several hardwired Zigbee switches installed around the house that help form a strong mesh. I also use a USB extension cable to position the dongle about 3 feet away from my Home Assistant box to avoid any USB interference—this is a best practice with any 2.4GHz Zigbee stick, and it likely helps ensure consistent performance.Compared to my previous experience with SmartThings and later Hubitat, the Sonoff dongle offers better transparency, responsiveness, and local control—especially in combination with Home Assistant.If you’re running Home Assistant and looking for a reliable, no-drama Zigbee coordinator, this one is hard to beat. It just works.

    Works perfectly with Home Assistant
    I was skeptical about going Zigbee and using this Sonoff Dongle Plus-E Gateway as a coordinator for my home assistant, but I found that the best choice was to implement the Zigbee2MQTT add-on. Since the dongle is flashed as a coordinator, additional units can be configured as router or extender for Zigbee. It actually covered a much larger area that I expected to with sensors being far away, still worked.I ended up buying Zigbee smart plugs that also act as repeaters which home assistant picked up immediately. So far, it has worked flawlessly and no delays noticed.

    Gets warm
    Fairly easy to setup. Does get warm. I have about 8 power outlets connected and they turn on/off fast ( using home assistant ). Just got some esp32c6 modules to make my own, test only so far and they work perfect with this dongle.

    Solid Performance and Quick Setup for Home Assistant
    Can’t say it could be any easier to get one of these working with Home Assistant without it automatically finding your network of devices. (But that’s not how Zigbee itself works.) There’s good reason this radio is a top seller. It just works.For anybody coming from a Hubitat C5, yes, the Sonoff works much better than the dongle that came with that and this one was instantly able to link with the furthest device in my home 50′ away and through 3 walls first, easily beating the range struggle of the old one.

    Works with Raspberry Pi 5
    I bought this to use with Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 5. The system detected it immediately when I connected it, and I followed an Internet video to install it in the software. It works.I followed the advice of everyone in the community to plug it into a USB 2.0 port with an extension cable, rather than a USB 3.0 port or even directly plugging it into a USB 2.0 port – this isn’t the fault of this device but rather a fault of the Zigbee protocol itself and of USB 3.0, as USB 3.0 ports tend to generate RF interference that causes trouble for Zigbee devices. The device doesn’t need the extra speed of a 3.0 port, and the extension cable allows it to be placed with more flexibility anyway.

    Perfect! This is how you continue using Hue bulbs without sacrificing your security & privacy
    While Philips (Signify) has been working hard to force a cloud account on their customers to continue using Hue light bulbs, I’ve been testing numerous Zigbee products to find an alternative that will allow my family to continue using their bulbs before they turn them all off- or turn us into their product.This works great! It’s plug & play with Home Assistant (HA) on a cheap Raspberry Pi. No more Hue bridge, no more worrying how long until Philips starts charging me a monthly fee to use light bulbs I’ve already paid for.Pros:- Works with every Hue product I have- Great distance (I no longer need two Hue bridges to cover my house)- Virtually Plug & Play with HA (plug it in, it gets detected and prompts for installation and detects your devices)- No cloud account required, no privacy/security concerns, no corporation selling you a product then forcing you to route all their data through them years after you’ve purchased their products.- Works flawlessly with Apple Home productsCons:- Doesn’t work with Amazon Alexa in HA without going through some hoops.- Setting this up on a Raspberry Pi with Home Assistant is still a bit geek-oriented requiring a little instruction-following.

    Have used this with Home Assistant (Zigbee2MQTT) to run dozens of Zigbee devices and have been working great. Make sure to follow the recommended guidelines for optimal performance (i.e. using a USB2.0 extension to connect the device has solved a lot of my issues).
