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:
ZBDongle-E:
The first seems the right one but they're even.yhe same price!
I'll have to take a look, these were not available when I was shopping. I have used the TI CC based chipset before. Looks like the
-E
varient is preferred now. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/So doing some homework I found this, which suggests:
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.
Thanks for that - they do include both E and P under discovery section it that does indeed seems to be their preference.
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?
