Description

The USB Dongle Plus by Sonoff can be used as a universal Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant or other open-source platforms through ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT for local control of all Zigbee devices. Additionally, it can be used as a flash router firmware to extend the network range.

The USB Dongle Plus is designed for users who need a secure and easy solution for storing, managing, and transferring sensitive data. Specifically, it is aimed at professionals working with sensitive data such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, and teachers, as well as other users who want to keep their personal data secure. The USB Dongle Plus also offers additional features such as data encryption and protection against viruses and malware.

What is a Smart Hub?

The Smart Hub is a device that serves as a central control point for your smart home devices. It is usually connected to the internet and uses wireless communication protocols such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Zigbee to communicate with other smart devices, such as smart lights, thermostats, security cameras, and more.

The smart hub can be controlled through a smartphone application, a web interface, or even through voice commands using a virtual assistant such as Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. It can also automate actions based on user preferences, such as turning on lights when someone enters a room or adjusting the thermostat according to the time of day.

One of the advantages of using it is that it allows for easier control and automation of multiple devices from a single workspace.

Overall, a Smart Hub can help simplify the management of a "smart home" and improve the user experience.

How does it help me make my home smarter?

  • Remote Control: With the smart hub, you can control your smart home remotely using your mobile phone or computer. This allows you to control your home even when you are not there.
  • Energy Saving: The smart hub can coordinate your devices and help save energy. For example, it can control your smart bulbs and automatically turn them off when they are not needed.
  • Automation: Automation is an important factor in the operation of a smart home, and smart hub devices contribute significantly to creating automations. It can include creating automatic rules for turning devices on and off, adjusting the temperature of the house, setting the lighting, and much more. Automation helps you save time, reduce energy costs, and simplify your life. A smart hub can facilitate the creation of automations in your smart home, as it functions as a central controller for your various devices. It can connect your devices and coordinate their functions using built-in sensors and other technologies. It can also work with other smart home systems, such as smart locks or smart cameras.

Advantages of a Smart Hub

A smart hub is a device that connects multiple smart devices in your home and allows you to control them from a central location. Some of the advantages include:

  • Convenience: You can control multiple smart devices from a central point, such as a smartphone or tablet, making your life easier.
  • Time-saving: You can control multiple devices simultaneously and schedule various actions, such as automatic temperature control in your home, allowing you to save time.
  • Increased security: With the smart hub, you can control your security cameras and alarm devices, allowing you to increase the security of your home.
  • Money-saving: By being able to control lighting and thermostats remotely, you can save money on your utility bills.

What should I consider before purchasing a Smart Hub?

  • Compatibility: Make sure that the smart hub you choose is compatible with the devices you have in your home. Check the specifications of the smart hub and ensure that it supports your devices.
  • Platform: Make sure that the smart hub supports the software platform you want to use. Some smart hubs use different platforms, so make sure you have the right platform for the smart hub you want to purchase.
  • Security: Make sure that the smart hub you choose has good security practices and is updated for the latest security threats. Smart hubs are connected to the internet and can be targeted by malicious attackers.
  • Features: Make sure that the smart hub you choose has all the features you need.

Connectivity with Zigbee

  • Zigbee: Wireless data transmission protocol used for bidirectional communication between devices. Bidirectional communication means that each device can receive and send a signal. The system was created in 2002 by the ZigBee Alliance, which continues to be involved in its development and promotion. The main feature of the new communication standard is low power consumption and simple construction at a low cost. This has been achieved and is now a reality. It connects to smart devices via the Zigbee protocol and has a range of approximately 15 meters.

    Amazing device to connect your zigbee peripherals to Home Assistant, at a very low price. Zigbee is perhaps the best wireless standard with rich coverage and the lowest energy consumption.

    If you want to enhance its capabilities, you can flash it with the "open" firmware Zigbee2MQTT and elevate its functionality with more features. Instructions on how to do it can be found in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzoiT0mUdkg

    For 15 euros, it is very good both in terms of construction and range. I bought it for Home Assistant and it connects very well with all the devices in the house. The only thing that troubled me was the firmware update that needs to be done in order to improve the range and the number of devices that can be connected, as the stock version only accepts 20 devices directly. I couldn't update it with python, so I did it with a flash programmer by unscrewing the device. Be careful because there is also a newer device called zbdongle-e, which is not easily compatible with Home Assistant.

    By far the best value for money dongle with CC2652P for zigbee use with Home Assistant, either ZHA or via zigbee2mqtt. The CC2652P has +20db output gain and in combination with the external antenna provides great coverage. I highly recommend flashing it with the latest firmware provided by Koenkk, the developer of zigbee2mqtt, for the best compatibility with zigbee devices. Additionally, you have the option to flash it as either a Coordinator or a router (repeater) for expanding the zigbee network.
