SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus

The SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus is a universal Zigbee coordinator that plugs into any computer or single-board computer running Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA. Based on the Texas Instruments CC2652P chip with a built-in power amplifier, it provides reliable Zigbee coverage for large homes with dozens of devices.

As a pure hardware coordinator, it has zero cloud dependencies and no manufacturer cloud services. All processing happens locally through open-source software like Zigbee2MQTT, which exposes every paired device via MQTT for integration with Home Assistant, Node-RED, or custom applications.

The dongle supports over 2,500 Zigbee devices from hundreds of manufacturers. It includes an external antenna for extended range, a +20dBm transmit power for penetrating walls, and pre-flashed coordinator firmware. Setup involves plugging it in and configuring Zigbee2MQTT through its web interface.
