    ZZH zigbee gateway stick

    Is that your recommendation for a ZigBee dongle to cut out the hub?

      It’s the one I use, I would recommend a ZZH-P if they ever get released! Failing that I have heard good things about the sonoff stick.

        There’s two Sonoff sticks on Amazon both look identical but they have different specs:

        ZBDongle-P:

        • USB 3.0
        • Pre-flashed with Z-Stack 3.x.0 coordinator firmware
        • Base on TI CC2652P + CP2102N

        ZBDongle-E:

        • USB
        • Pre-flashed with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3 out of box
        • Base on EFR32MG21 + CH9102F

        The first seems the right one but they’re even.yhe same price!

            Thanks for that - they do include both E and P under discovery section it that does indeed seems to be their preference.

            So doing some homework I found this, which suggests:

            • ZBDongle-P - Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
            • ZBDongle-E - Matter and ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT still experimental

            Apparently, the former is the Dongle Plus, while the latter is the Dongle Plus V2. So, despite the letters, the -E is the newer one.

            All of which means, the -E seems the best option for me.

        I have problems finding any information at all about this, could you link a website to see what it is and the current status?

          Not sure if zzh is on sale at the moment, what are you trying to achieve?

            Just trying find a webpage with information, I can only find a page for zzh CC2652R and only a GitHub issue about the zzh-p which is apparently CC2652P? You seem to follow the release progress, so where could I read about it?
