Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus–ZBDongle-Es is a universal Zigbee USB stick. It can be directly plugged into your computer or Raspberry Pi and can be used as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, or other open-source platforms to locally control all your Zigbee devices. It supports a wide range of devices, such as switches, temperature and humidity sensors, Wireless door/window sensors, etc, and can manage various sub-devices from various brands or flash router firmware to extend the network range.
It is based on the EFR32MG21 and pre-flashed with the Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3 out of the box. It has an SMA interface for an external rotatable antenna with a +20dBm output gain for further signal reach. It supports a working temperature of -10°C~40°C and a working height of ≤2000m, which makes it applicable to use indoors. And the aluminum housing effectively reduces signal interference from peripherals.
