Zi-Stick - Zigbee USB to Create Your Own Zigbee Hub to Control Zigbee Smart Home Devices

Great little stick, got it set up with openhab in probably 5 minutes. Worked with all the devices I planned to use it for, and so far has maintained a quick and a stable connection. Only good things to say about this product, well worth the $35.

i bought this to control all my zigbee devices. i have 47 philips hue light, 8 sensors, 5 tap switch, 8 dimmer switch. philips hue hub has limitation, so i wanted to test something else. so i bought this, with a raspbery pi 4, and other things, installed home assistant, all is working great. BUT when issuing color changes, for instance, the blue was not the same blue as hue application. this is not due to the controller but the application. overall, the controler is awsome, but i ended up using 2 philips hub, spliting light bulbs on one hun and all accessories on other hub, then using the light bulbs in google home, and using device hub on home assistant. overall, this controller seemed nice! but couldnt let go away philips hue application. so in the end, that usb controller is not plugged and sleeping in the drawer.

works way better than sonoff, not sure why people complain about it being plastic.

Works well with in an home assistant setup using ODROID N2+ now able to detect garage door is open. Using Aeotec multi switch on door. One of Chamberlains lost 20,000 people whom lost MYq so automation of garage door open wasn’t possible using MYq.

It took some tickering but the zi-stick finally added zigbee functionality to my home-assistant server. Note it did not work with my smartthing contacts with home assistant virtualized through docker. I needed to virtualized home assistant through proxmox and then used ZHA.
