USB Zigbee 3.0 Zigbee Gateway

SONOFF ZBDongle-E is a universal Zigbee USB stick. You can use it as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant (ZHA), openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT or other open source platforms to locally control all your Zigbee devices. So you don't need different Zigbee hubs from different brands, just one universal gateway - the ZBDongle-E!

The Dongle Plus supports a variety of devices from different brands and manufacturers. It comes with pre-installed coordinator firmware. However, you can also use multi-protocol firmware for Thread (Matter) or router firmware to extend the network range.

In addition, the Dongle Plus is compatible with common systems such as Linux, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Windows and macOS (the corresponding drivers must be installed for Windows and macOS).

Choose between the firmware variants:

Zigbee2MQTT / ZHA (original)

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

Zigbee2MQTT is open source software that allows you to integrate Zigbee devices into your smart home system without proprietary hubs. With a Zigbee USB dongle and MQTT protocol, you can centrally control a variety of Zigbee devices from different manufacturers. Ideal for users who value flexibility and broad device support.

Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) is a native integration into Home Assistant that enables easy and direct control of Zigbee devices. Without additional software, ZHA offers a user-friendly Setup and seamless integration, ideal for beginners and users who prefer a straightforward solution.

Multi-PAN - Open Thread (Matter) & Zigbee

This multi-protocol firmware (MultiPAN RCP) allows simultaneous support of various wireless protocols, including Zigbee and Thread (Matter). This firmware extends the functionality of Zigbee USB dongles so that they can be used in multi-protocol networks. Ideal for users seeking future-proof and versatile smart home solutions. The multi-protocol firmware is still in the experimental stage and is currently only supported by Home Assistant

Open Thread (Matter)

The Open Thread Firmware enables the use of the Thread protocol for your smart home network. It supports Matter-compatible devices and ensures secure, cross-manufacturer communication. Ideal for users who want to build a flexible and future-proof smart home system.

Router / Repeater

flashed with Zigbee router firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3

Repeater firmware optimizes the performance of Zigbee-enabled devices as signal amplifiers in smart home networks. This special software controls communication between devices, extends the range of the network and improves the reliability of wireless connections. Ideal for expanding network coverage in residential and commercial environments, Zigbee Repeater Firmware provides a robust solution to support a stable and efficient smart home experience.

Note: In contrast to being used as a coordinator for ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, the SONOFF ZBDongle-E is not connected to your SmartHome system, but rather connected directly to a USB power supply (not included). So you can place it exactly where you want the Zigbee signals to be amplified.
