[Info] Which Zigbee dongle do you use?

Configuration
1

Bonjour a tous :wink:

Suite au bon conseil de @Psoy, on souhaite lister les dongles zigbee utilisés par la communauté.

Pourquoi pas ne pas mettre un lien en plus pour ceux qui comme moi en rechercherais un :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: !

Je pense que ça aiderais aussi pour mettre à jour airtable :

Bonne journée a tous

Even if I’m not answering the question :sweat_smile: the list of Gladys-compatible dongles is the one provided by Zigbee2Mqtt - Supported Adapters | Zigbee2MQTT

I agree with you that additional feedback from the community would be interesting

But I also have 2 coordinators of the same brand to cover my garden.

@glasserre :
Is the range not too short without an antenna? :slight_smile:

@guim31 :
I had no idea!
What is the RJ45 port used for?
What’s your feedback on the distance? The number of devices?

@VonOx I thought you had a Sonoff too.
Any particular reason for this dongle rather than another?

Thanks for your answers and especially to @cicoub13 who bumped the post xD

In fact, there was a time this brand (it’s a guy who does this all by himself for fun in the USA) was the first mentioned in the list of good compatibilities with Z2M
 so I thought that while I was at it I’d get something sturdy.

I don’t know the use of the Ethernet port (because I have the older version, USB only).
I know that each coordinator can handle 50+ devices; for range, I’d say it’s about 10 to 15 m when going through 1 partition + 1 load-bearing wall. I think that’s pretty good.
If I understand correctly the guy flashes them himself and optimizes the settings of his chips.
Then he prints a 3D case :+1:

EDIT :

I’m adding the technical description (which doesn’t mean much to me) but maybe it will help someone!

Description

Zigbee 3.0 Coordinator based on the CC2652P2 module. Supported by Zigbee2mqtt, the ZHA integration in Home Assistant and Tasmota.

Use Ethernet - Ideal for placing your coordinator in a central location. Stable ethernet connection. Eliminates the need for USB Passthrough when using HA in a VM environment.

Use via USB - Move 2 jumpers on the board and the zigbee chip will be accessible over the USB, not ethernet needed. Or use another pair of jumpers and connect via USB to the ESP32 for console debugging.

He managed to miniaturize his creation. It’s neat.

I now use the Sonoff, no more problems.
I think only @VonOx hasn’t had a problem with this key.
If I ever have time I’ll test it again.

No worries about distance, my apartment is 57mÂČ and, luckily, my servers are right in the middle :slight_smile:
