Zigbee Bridge Pro Wireless Gateway, Manage up to 128 Sub-devices Work with Alexa, Google Home, PC V0, White

Bought this for my home assistant , works very well

This is a great product and I like it. It works really well with Home Assistant. Please note that the dongle comes with limited instructions but there is a lot of information on the Internet about both this product and Home Assistant and the setup of both, so there really no need to include instructions beyond what is available. I love it.

I wanted to use this dongle for range extension as it has +20dbm power output. When I installed the dongle it seemed to work perfectly but after few hours the Aqara sensors dropped out. I tried to add these again but could not succeed. So had to return the dongle as I have many Aqara sensors. The Sonoff sensors worked ok.

Ho acquistato il Sonoff ZBDongle-E per trasformare il mio Raspberry Pi in un gateway Zigbee universale, e devo dire che è stato uno degli upgrade più utili per la mia smart home. Il dongle arriva già pre-flashato con firmware EZNet 6.10.3, quindi è pronto all’uso: l’ho collegato alla porta USB del Raspberry Pi, e Home Assistant lo ha riconosciuto subito tramite l’integrazione ZHA. In alternativa, è compatibile anche con Zigbee2MQTT, che ho testato in un secondo momento per una gestione più avanzata dei dispositivi. Entrambe le soluzioni funzionano alla grande. L’antenna esterna SMA garantisce una copertura eccellente: riesco a gestire sensori Zigbee anche in stanze lontane, senza perdita di segnale. Ho integrato interruttori, sensori di movimento, termometri e prese smart, tutti perfettamente funzionanti. Il dongle è basato su EFR32MG21, con potenza di trasmissione fino a +20dBm, e il guscio in alluminio aiuta a ridurre le interferenze. In sintesi, è un dispositivo affidabile, potente e facilissimo da integrare, perfetto per chi vuole un sistema domotico locale e flessibile. 🧪 Esempi di utilizzo 🏠 Gateway Zigbee su Raspberry Pi: con Home Assistant + ZHA o Zigbee2MQTT 🔌 Controllo locale di dispositivi smart: interruttori, prese, sensori, luci 📡 Copertura estesa: antenna esterna per ambienti grandi 🧑‍💻 Domotica open-source: compatibile con OpenHAB, ioBroker, ecc. 🔧 Espansione rete Zigbee: possibilità di flash come router Zigbee ✅ Pregi Compatibile con Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, OpenHAB Preinstallato con firmware EZNet 6.10.3 Basato su chip EFR32MG21 con +20dBm di potenza Antenna esterna SMA per segnale stabile Guscio in alluminio anti-interferenze Plug & play su Raspberry Pi Supporta decine di dispositivi Zigbee Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo ⚠️ Difetti Richiede configurazione iniziale se si usa Zigbee2MQTT Non include cavo di estensione USB (consigliato per evitare interferenze)

I bought the SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (ZBDongle-E) to use with Home Assistant, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Setup was quick and straightforward, plugged it in, configured it in Home Assistant, and it was ready to go. Devices pair quickly, are recognised instantly, and connections have been extremely stable. I’ve since added multiple Zigbee sensors and devices, and everything works flawlessly. Range is very good thanks to the external antenna, and responsiveness is fast with no noticeable delays. The dongle feels well built, runs cool, and has been solid running 24/7. I’m using it with SONOFF Zigbee devices as well as other brands, and compatibility has been excellent across the board. If you’re building or upgrading a Home Assistant Zigbee network, this dongle is a no-brainer. Reliable, powerful, easy to set up, and great value for money. Highly recommended.

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).

Çok başarılı.Kendi ürünleri ve diğer bazı markalarla bağlantı özelliği ekstra.Çok kolay kurulum.Şık ve küçük Kesinlikle tavsiye ederim. SONOFF ZigBee ürünleri mükemmel..

I’m trying to get some home automation set up in an old stone wall house. I have managed to pair temperature and humidity sensors and motion sensors (all Sonoff). But some sensors are dropping off; I believe this is because some are too far away from the hub. So the solution will be to extend and build a mesh network with powered (router) Zigbee devices. The problem has been finding devices that will pair to this hub. Aqara devices will not pair. I can confirm Ikea tradfri light bulbs will pair with this hub. So I will use these to build and extend my mesh network. These bulbs must be within 5cms of the hub during pairing. My solution was to power the bulb in its final position, then bring the hub to the bulb. I did this by powering the Sonoff Zigbee bridge pro off a usb battery power bank, then used the ewelink app for the pairing process. Then returned the hub to its normal operating position. So far this has worked. I will update this review when I can see if this improves the end sensors devices dropping out. Update Dec 2024 I now use 3 of these. This is a farm with several outbuildings. My Wi-Fi signal can reach the other outbuildings (just). so I put a Sonoff Pro bridge hub in the Polytunnel (where sheep are lambed) and another in the Portacabin (farm office). The Zigbee devices are then connected to the Sonoff hub in their location . From the Ewelink app I can turn on/off lights, kettles; monitor temperature in all the different locations. The furthest distance would be about 50 metres from the internet router in the house. The Portacabin used to be a problem running wi-fi smart devices. Its a metal building so wi-fi from the house didn’t operate at the back of it; but the Wi-Fi signal did reach the front of the building; so I sited the Sonoff pro bridge there and all the Zigbee devices inside the portacabin work perfectly when paired to that hub. In the Polytunnel the Sonoff Pro hub is used to control a water heater, light and a kettle. At 2 am in the morning when you need to move quickly to assist a sheep lambing. I have a routine that switches on the lights that get me from the house to the Polytunnel, turns on the water in the kettle in the Polytunnel, and switches everything off in the house as I leave. Then I have another routine that turns off things in the Polytunnel as I leave to go back to the house, which includes switching on the electric blanket so I can climb into a warm bed. I have mostly used Sonoff devices with these hubs, ie motion sensor, door sensor, temperature humidity, button switches and no neutral switches. The IKEA tradfri bulbs have been super reliable at extending the mesh. The biggest problem I’ve had is getting uk Zigbee smart plugs. I did get Woolley Zigbee smart plugs of Amazon (I have 8). They are often unavailable. But they are superb, very reliable with this hub and Ewelink. They offer scheduling and power monitoring. If your having problems with things going off line, then consider either extending your mesh with the bulbs and smart plugs; or divide your space with a second hub, having first ensured your wi-fi reaches the weak area. Then there’s the house. It’s been undergoing some renovation. The old (oil) boiler is about 50 years old. It used to be wired into one those manual timers. The ones that you clicked in out little pegs to turn it on off; and every time the time changed you had to reset the timer. (Misery). The kitchen got updated with underfloor heating, still working off the old boiler. The plumber cut the wiring off the old timer and wired on an ordinary plug on the end. It’s plugged into a Woolley Zigbee smart plug ; and it’s running the central heating. The smart plug can be scheduled to come on/off at whatever time I want. But more useful is the Sonoff temperature monitor. It’s in the kitchen and a scene on Ewelink controls the Woolley plug turning on/off the heating, Simple and cheap and it works.
