Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus MG24, Zigbee Gateway with EFR32MG24, Thread & Zigbee USB Stick, Zigbee Controller for Home Assistant or Zigbee2MQTT

Terrific, plugs right into Windows 11 and connects directly through Home Assistant ZHA. I use to virtualize HA through VirtualBox and USB pass through was easy plug and play, but using Hyper-V, with it’s lack of native USB pass-through, meant to get this BE9300 to work, you must use Zigbee2MQTT to pass the COMport to Home Assistant. I tried using USBipd to pass-through the usb port but HA kept disconnecting the bound-USB. Use the COMPort method, save yourself the headache. You can buy a PoE Zigbee dongle to avoid software solution but the difference in price is an additional $10-50, depending on which brand and shipping cost. This software work around is cheaper and works just as well.

Easy to use, works well with my Proxmox based home assistant setup and is quite stable. I appreciate that it comes with a USB extension cable to allow for installation without worrying about any noise from nearby devices. Very stable and easy to upgrade after you plug it in. wish it had a think for mounting it, otherwise it's great! Allows for my Zigbee setup to work!

I run two of these, one zigbee and one matter over thread. Works absolutely perfect with my Home Assistant setup. I run an old mini pc and have no problem with 30+ zigbee devices. Easy to flash to w/e firmware you want with the Sonoff online firmware flasher (takes like 2 minutes!) and never failed me so far. I use mine upstairs and devices can be seen downstairs and in my garage. If you arent a power user get the plus (this one) instead of the max.

Great value, have it connected directly to my Home Assistant VM passing through USB from the host server. No issues at all with it immediately integrating to my setup. Apparently this is the new revision of the dongle that originally came out several years ago, and can be flashed to provide alternate functions if desired. Have not had any issues with stability or signal quality being powered directly from the host machine. Comes with a 2-3' USB extension cable, and the antenna can be tilted and rotated, but not removed.

Awesome. Integrated easily. Pairs to devices without hassle. Good range. No issues with dropped connections. I have dozens of Zigbee devices connected and not signs of issues.

This is an extremely capable device... In fact, as far as signal, function, and general features, this is a 5 star device! If you need a Zigbee dongle, this is the one to get!!! Home Assistant? Get this one!!! Excellent device! It even comes with an extra USB cable to extend it away from your other antennas to avoid signal conflict. Now... my slight frustration with it is that I also tried to buy an extension antenna, which I presumed I could just unscrew the existing antenna off the SONOFF and replace it... IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU CAN'T REPLACE IT! The antenna on the SONOFF USB device is fixed permanently, so you cannot use another antenna (such as you would be able to with a typical WiFi dongle, which often have detachable antennas). The only option with this device is to use a USB extension cable (such as the one included) to move the dongle itself away from your other interfering signals. I didn't know if it was really fair to dock a star for this since the device itself is amazing... But I'm really surprised that SONOFF didn't provide a logical option here. As I said before, virtually every WiFi dongle out there with an antenna can screw-off to allow replacement antennas to be positioned. I was legitimately surprised that this one does not provide that option and I wish I checked more closely before I ordered an extension antenna for it. That little detail aside, I have ZERO complaints about the function of the device itself. It is a quality build and works absolutely perfectly... I may have been a little overkill in my attempt to get another antenna solution and, the good news is, I haven't needed the extension so far, so if you're looking for a Zigbee device, I don't know how many other options there are that are this good and just for the detail I mentioned, which may not even really be that essential (if at all). Still killing a star. I know, mean dude... Come on though SONOFF, it would only make you that much more awesome to allow extension and/or replacement options here.

Added this to my Home Assistant setup because Z-Wave hardware is just expensive, and Zigbee gear hits a much better price point. I keep the two radios separate by use case, Z-Wave for the light switches, Zigbee for the sensors and the less critical stuff, this dongle is the Zigbee side. The EFR32MG24 chip handles it with zero drama. Setup was a breeze. Run it on a short USB extension to keep it clear of the server, and it paired perfectly with Home Assistant through ZHA, no separate cloud account or vendor hub, all local. I'll be honest, the first time I tried HA years ago it was a genuine pain to get running. It's come a long way since, and being able to just plug a dongle in and have sensors show up is exactly the kind of thing that used to take me an afternoon. It's genuinely small, basically a flash drive, which helps when you're stuffing dongles behind a rack. Only other thing worth knowing: pick one coordinator, ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, and stick with it, the dongle presents to whichever you set up. If you're on Home Assistant and want to add Zigbee without breaking the bank, this is the no-fuss option.

I bought the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (EFR32MG24) for Home Assistant, and setup was straightforward. It paired immediately with Zigbee2MQTT and required no reflashing or troubleshooting—just plug it in and point Zigbee2MQTT at the correct serial device. Physically, this is a much nicer design than the older SONOFF Zigbee dongle with the large metal heatsink. The compact form factor is cleaner, runs cooler in practice, and takes up less space. It also happens to match the size and shape of new SONOFF Z-Wave USB dongles, which makes running both side-by-side a lot tidier. Range and reliability have been solid so far. I haven’t had any issues with device dropouts, and it’s had no trouble reaching Zigbee devices throughout my home. Pairing has been quick and consistent, and overall stability has been exactly what you want from a coordinator, quietly doing its job without needing attention. Build quality feels good for the price.

J'utilise cette clef WIFI pour 3 usages différents: 1. pluggée à Home Assistant sur GNU/Linux avec le firmware d'origine pour contrôler et visualisée mes périphériques zigbee dans Zigbee2MQTT (Z2M) ou ZHA 2. utilisation seule avec une chargeur 5w de la marque avec le firmware "router" afin d'étendre le réseau zigbee initié par mon Home Assistant 3. utilisée avec un raspberry pi 4 model B afin de le transformer la machine en border routeur Thread (avec le projet Google "otbr") avec le firmware Thread spécifique La compatibilité logicielle, les firmwares et la fiabilité sont excellents pour tous les cas d'usage. Évidemment, vous allez être embêtés par la jeunesses des protocoles et les configurations logicielles parfois obscures, mais matériellement ces dongle sont très fiables et leurs firmwares excellents pour les différents cas d'usage. Un dongle absolument parfait et très fiable, une référence pour les dongle multi-usage zigbee / Matter / Thread pour 2026

Ottimo prodotto, facile da configurare con Home Assistant. Riconosce praticamente tutti i dispositivi con zigbee 3.0. Ottima ricezione.

Fungerar hur bra som helst med ZHA och Home Assistant, och med bra räckvidd. Har dock inte testat Z2M eller Thread. Lätt att uppgradera eller byta firmware via sonoff dongle web flasher. Följer också med en usb förlängningssladd.

Testowałem już kilka różnych dongli Zigbee (CC2652, CC2531, SMLight itp.) i ten model od Sonoffa jest najstabilniejszy i najbardziej przyszłościowy. Nowy układ EFR32MG24 robi ogromną różnicę — ma mocniejsze radio (20 dBm), lepszą czułość i pełną obsługę Zigbee 3.0 oraz Thread 1.3. Gotowy do eksperymentów z Thread/Matter. Działa perfekcyjnie jako koordynator ZHA lub Zigbee2MQTT, nawet na słabszych platformach jak Raspberry Pi czy Home Assistant OS.

Needed it as a thread border router is Home Assistant. Easy to flash using chrome. Works in HA thread/matter. Just what I needed.
