Article description Sonoff Plus ZBDongle-E:

USB Zigbee 3.0 gateway with the original Zigbee firmware

Pre-flashed with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3 out of the box

Sonoff Dongle-E can be used as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT or other open source platforms to locally control all Zigbee devices. It allows you to connect up to 32 devices at the same time and works more efficiently than CC2531 or ConBee 2. You no longer need to invest in Zigbee hubs of different brands, all you need is a universal gateway - Dongle Plus!

You will use the Dongle Plus as a Zigbee 3.0 gateway in open source platforms to manage various devices of different brands or to flash your router's firmware to increase the range of the network. You can also purchase an additional 1.5 meter long USB cable for a longer signal range. The product works with platforms such as Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, etc. It also supports Linux, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Windows and macOS.

The product is made of aluminum alloy, which improves signal transmission. In addition, it eliminates interference from peripheral devices. It has an external SMA antenna whose position you can also adjust. What's more, the output gain of +20dBm affects 3x the signal range.

Important note:

Due to the width of the ZB dongle's housing and its proximity to the power adapter plug, it does not fit directly into the Green's USB port. It can only be used with a USB extension cable. If such a cable is not already available, we recommend ordering it at the same time.

Article description Sonoff Plus ZBDongle-E Multi-PAN:

USB Zigbee 3.0 Gateway with Multiprotocol Firmware - Multi-PAN (RCP)

Already flashed with the MultiPAN RCP firmware. Simultaneous support for Zigbee & Thread (Matter)

What is the current status of support for multiprotocol?

Multiprotocol remains an experimental feature and is not recommended for use.

When Nabu Casa introduced the SkyConnect, they announced that they would release firmware that supports multi-protocol functionality. This firmware allows the device's Silicon Labs chip to communicate with both Zigbee and Thread networks via a single radio module. This experimental firmware has been available since December 2022. However, through extensive testing, Nabu Casa has found that while it works in certain circumstances, it has technical limitations that may result in a compromised user experience. Therefore, Nabu Casa does not currently recommend the use of this firmware, and it will remain experimental for the foreseeable future. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that the dedicated Zigbee and Thread firmwares provide the best possible user experience.

If you currently have the multiprotocol firmware installed but are not actively using it to connect to Thread devices, Nabu Casa recommends disabling multiprotocol.

Nothing changes for current users of the multiprotocol firmware who are satisfied with their experience. The experimental multi-protocol firmware remains available but is not recommended for new users.
