Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus — compact Zigbee coordinator for custom smart home hubs Key benefits Ready to use out of box: preflashed with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3, so setup is fast and straightforward. Broad platform compatibility: works with Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT and other Zigbee gateways and controllers. Strong wireless performance: 20 dBm output power for improved signal reach and more reliable connections across a typical home. Solid, interferenceresistant design: aluminum housing reduces signal interference from nearby peripherals and electronics. Flexible placement: optional 1.5 meter USB extension cable lets you position the dongle for the reception. Proven hardware: based on the EFR32MG21 radio SoC for stable Zigbee 3.0 operation. Important functional note ZBDongleE supports Zigbee Green Power devices. To add a Hue Zigbee Green Power device, set the ZBDongleE channel to 11, 15, 20, or 25 in your application. Compatibility examples Router devices: ZBMINI smart switch, S40 Lite ZB, S31 Lite ZB smart plug, S26R2ZB smart switch End devices: ZBMINIL smart switch, SNZB01 switch, SNZB02 temperature and humidity sensor, SNZB03 motion sensor, SNZB04 door and window sensor Typical use scenarios Home automation hub: Use the dongle as a Zigbee coordinator to integrate sensors, switches, and plugs into Home Assistant or openHAB for centralized control and automation. Mesh extension and placement optimization: Mount the dongle on a USB extension cable to move the radio away from metal enclosures or noisy USB ports, improving coverage to devices in distant rooms. Local control with MQTT bridges: Run Zigbee2MQTT with the dongle to bridge Zigbee devices into an MQTT based system for local control and advanced automation workflows. Technical highlights Firmware: EZNet 6.10.3 coordinator firmware preinstalled Radio platform: EFR32MG21 RF output: 20 dBm Enclosure: aluminum housing for reduced interference Accessories: optional 1.5 meter USB extension cable for improved signal placement Green Power: supports Zigbee Green Power devices; channel change required for certain Hue Green Power devices This Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus is designed for integrators and DIYers who need a reliable, performance coordinator for local smart home deployments and advanced integrations.
