It can be used as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, or other open-source platforms to locally control all your Zigbee devices, so you don't need to invest in different brands' Zigbee hubs, all you need is a universal gateway - ZBDongle-E!

Review: Using Home Assistant as a Proxmox VM, it was very easy to set up and pair devices. The range is quite good and low latency for me.
Review: Ho acquistato il Sonoff ZBDongle-E per trasformare il mio Raspberry Pi in un gateway Zigbee universale, e devo dire che è stato uno degli upgrade più utili per la mia smart home. Il dongle arriva già pre-flashato con firmware EZNet 6.10.3, quindi è pronto all’uso: l’ho collegato alla porta USB del Raspberry Pi, e Home Assistant lo ha riconosciuto subito tramite l’integrazione ZHA. In alternativa, è compatibile anche con Zigbee2MQTT, che ho testato in un secondo momento per una gestione più avanzata dei dispositivi. Entrambe le soluzioni funzionano alla grande. L’antenna esterna SMA garantisce una copertura eccellente: riesco a gestire sensori Zigbee anche in stanze lontane, senza perdita di segnale. Ho integrato interruttori, sensori di movimento, termometri e prese smart, tutti perfettamente funzionanti. Il dongle è basato su EFR32MG21, con potenza di trasmissione fino a +20dBm, e il guscio in alluminio aiuta a ridurre le interferenze. In sintesi, è un dispositivo affidabile, potente e facilissimo da integrare, perfetto per chi vuole un sistema domotico locale e flessibile. 🧪 Esempi di utilizzo 🏠 Gateway Zigbee su Raspberry Pi: con Home Assistant + ZHA o Zigbee2MQTT 🔌 Controllo locale di dispositivi smart: interruttori, prese, sensori, luci 📡 Copertura estesa: antenna esterna per ambienti grandi 🧑‍💻 Domotica open-source: compatibile con OpenHAB, ioBroker, ecc. 🔧 Espansione rete Zigbee: possibilità di flash come router Zigbee ✅ Pregi Compatibile con Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, OpenHAB Preinstallato con firmware EZNet 6.10.3 Basato su chip EFR32MG21 con +20dBm di potenza Antenna esterna SMA per segnale stabile Guscio in alluminio anti-interferenze Plug & play su Raspberry Pi Supporta decine di dispositivi Zigbee Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo ⚠️ Difetti Richiede configurazione iniziale se si usa Zigbee2MQTT Non include cavo di estensione USB (consigliato per evitare interferenze)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many connections can this handle?**
A: The ZBDongle-E can directly connect up to 32 sub-devices, and a single route can expand 32 sub-devices. There is no limit on the total number of firmware ends, depending on the platform you are using.

**Q: Hola es posisble conectarse con varios antenas o varios moviles ?**
A: Funciona de coordinador zigbee y se conecta a los dispositivos de este tipo y a otros hubs zigbee de tu red. Debe estar conectado a un PC para gestionar los dispositivos.

**Q: is there a commitment that this is upgradeable to support the thread standard**
A: That I do not know. Minus my Google Home Speakers, I don't have any THREAD devices and don't have any immediate or even potentially immediate plans/goals/interest to make the switch.

Sorry that I can't be more help.

**Q: Is this the one that can have the firmware updated to make it a repeater?**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by C***O on 1 February 2026*

I bought the SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (ZBDongle-E) to use with Home Assistant, and it’s been absolutely excellent. Setup was quick and straightforward, plugged it in, configured it in Home Assistant, and it was ready to go. Devices pair quickly, are recognised instantly, and connections have been extremely stable. I’ve since added multiple Zigbee sensors and devices, and everything works flawlessly. Range is very good thanks to the external antenna, and responsiveness is fast with no noticeable delays. The dongle feels well built, runs cool, and has been solid running 24/7. I’m using it with SONOFF Zigbee devices as well as other brands, and compatibility has been excellent across the board. If you’re building or upgrading a Home Assistant Zigbee network, this dongle is a no-brainer. Reliable, powerful, easy to set up, and great value for money. Highly recommended.
