Zigbee-USB-dongle Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24 voor Zigbee-netwerken — USB-adapter, compatibel met Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT

SONOFF Dongle Plus MG24 is a Zigbee USB adapter designed to connect and manage Zigbee and Thread devices with open-source home automation platforms. The compact USB gateway lets you integrate sensors, lights and switches into systems such as Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, openHAB or ioBroker, providing a local coordinator for Zigbee networks and flexible integration options.

Advantages

The device uses the EFR32MG24 chip with 1536 KB Flash and 256 KB RAM for faster command processing and stable communication. A detachable antenna with up to 4.5 dBi gain and a supplied 1 m USB extension cable increase effective range and allow convenient placement. The aluminum casing and endurance testing (including temperature, corrosion and over 500 USB plug/unplug cycles) ensure a durable and reliable product. Multiple operation modes — ZigBee coordinator, ZigBee router, Thread RCP or MultiPAN — and an easy firmware upload process via SONOFF Dongle Flasher facilitate flexible use and quick updates.
