The dongle plus has a wide range of supported devices, such as BASICZBR3, S31 Lite zb, SNZB01, SNZB02, SNZB03, SNZB04, ZBMINI, S26R2ZB , and various sub-devices from various brands or flash router firmware to extend the network range.

FAQ

1.Do I need a USB extension cable
It's highly recommended using a USB extension cable between your USB port and your Zigbee dongle plus to minimise interferences.
2.How to check the firmware of SONOFF dongle plus and flash the firmware
You can find the current firmware version of dongle plus in zigbee2mqtt: Open zigbee2mqtt -> Go to settings - > Go to about, and follow this guide to flash the firmware
3.How to flash Zigbee dongle plus as Router?

Zigbee dongle plus is pre-installed with coordinator firmware, which can only be used to add sub-devices and cannot be added by other gateways (the Zigbee protocol stipulates that there can only be one gateway in each Zigbee network).

If you need to expand the Zigbee signal range, you can follow our tutorial to flash the router firmware, Zigbee dongle plus running routing firmware will disguise itself as a light bulb.

4.How to migrate from other dongle to SONOFF Dongle Plus?
In ZHA, you can backup, restore, and migrate beteen Zigbee coordinators with different Zigbee chip without re-pairing your Zigbee devices, check this guide for the detailed steps.

But in Z2M, you can only avoid having to re-pair everything when moving between controllers/routers that use the same Zigbee chip. if the 2 dongles use different ones, you'll have to recreate the network from scratch.

5.Can i run 2 Dongles with ZHA simultaneously
No, Users can only add one ZHA integration to Home Assistant (but HA can connect to multiple deCONZ or Zigbee2MQTT instances).
6.Can i run Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA together on the same Dongle plus?

No. Z2M and ZHA are the same protocol (Zigbee). You can run one or the other, or buy a second dongle and run both on separate dongles.

7.Can i run 2 Dongles with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT on the same machine together

Yeah, you can run two dongles at the same time. One in ZHA, the other one in Z2M, as long as you can uniquely identify them on the USB ports and keep separate Zigbee channels, ZHA defaults to 15, Z2M defaults to 11.

8.How to migrate from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT using Sonoff Zigbee dongle plus?
You will need to reset all your Zigbee devices to pair them again with Z2M, or buy a second dongle plus and then run both Z2M and ZHA at the same time, please check details here.
9.What is the difference between ZBDongle-P and ZBDongle-E

The main differences between ZBDongle-P and ZBDongle-E are the chip and the supported platform. ZBdongle-P uses CC2652P while ZBDongle-E EFR32MG21, and ZBDongle-E supports Openhab but ZBDongle-P doesn't support yet.

10.How many devices can Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle support

50 children Zigbee devices can be directly added to the ZBDongle-P in coordinator mode and max 200 zigbee devices with routers

30 children Zigbee devices can be directly added to the ZBDognle-E in coordinator mode and extra 30 zigbee devices with a router, no limit on firmware but depends on platforms.

Great product

I've been using for about a month now, with no issues. I use it with Domoticz - two sensors appear and I use 'Zigbee for Domoticz' to manage devices. The stick itself is well made and feels robust. I've never had any issues at all.

I bought this to replace an underpowered controller, which kept losing ZigBee devices (especially battery-powered devices).

I've been using SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus for a few weeks now and I haven't had a single drop-out. Long may that continue.

Exactly what I wanted

This is a simple, nicely-made Zigbee dongle that comes loaded with Zigbee 3.0 firmware. So far, it's working great with Home Assistant's Zigbee integration and Sonoff's SNZB-02P temperature/humidity sensor.

This was my first time ever using Zigbee. I had some trouble when Home Assistant tried to set up the Zigbee network, but these tips I found online were really helpful:

1. Don't put the dongle right next to a Wi-Fi access point. My Home Assistant PC sits right next to my router, so I used a USB extension cable to move the dongle about 4 feet away from the router.

2. When setting up the dongle in Home Assistant, take the antenna off the dongle before clicking "create new network." Then, put the antenna back on the dongle when setup is finished.

When I used those two tips, the Zigbee setup process went smoothly. Everything after that was a breeze!
