SONOFF Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Gateway with Antenna for Home Assistant, Open HAB etc.

Product Information

From this point onwards, you should not operate the old stick in the same area unless you change the Zigbee IEEE address on it. Similarly, to make the device emit a squawk (by siren and/or strobe signal), a command of type String must be sent to the channel, where the command encodes the configuration of the squawk. For power users Thread and Zigbee networks on separate channels definitely make sense (along with dedicated radios). I stopped Z2M, pulled the old stick and inserted the new one, set the new port on Z2M and was good to go.

NOTE: Do not use the values for zigbee_networkkey, zigbee_panid and zigbee_extendedpanid from this example, create random values for your own Zigbee network.Where an address is required, endpoints can use the format 123/1 (destination/endpoint), or in hexadecimal 0xed1/1.

I read now however that they will initially only ship it with Zigbee support, and that Thread support will come later via firmware and software updates. module/board used in this is missing electromagnetic interference shielding and have relatively low-quality circuit board antenna with less than optimal hardware tuning so it has been reported signal reception with these is very sensitive to all types of interference unless connect it via a very long USB extension cable that is properly shielded to get it away from any sources of EMF/EMI/RMI. It acts as a physical interface for the Zigbee wireless protocol, as well as being responsible for maintaining the Zigbee network topology and ensuring secure and efficient communication between Zigbee devices. Please refer to the sections Serial port Configuration and Coordinator Configuration below for information about the settings for a coordinator. With the current supply issues, you may as well pull the trigger now, and keep it in a drawer until the issues get resolved.Be patient as the pairing of some Zigbee devices may require multiple attempts and you may sometimes need to try again and again. This section will provide information on a few common issues that users may come up against, but is not an exhaustive user manual for low level ZigBee commands. To make the device emit a warning (by siren and/or strobe signal) for a specified time, a command of type String must be sent to the channel, where the command encodes the configuration of the warning.

USB dongle will be Home Assistant SkyConnect - official radio USB dongle will be

That will certenly be possible by simply not using it for Zigbee and then it will use activate the Zigbee part for it.

This dongle/stick ships with standard Silicon Labs EmberZNet Zigbee NCP (Network Co-Processor, Zigbee only) firmware as opposed to the RCP (Radio Co-Processor, multi-protocol) firmware.

Note that not all devices support binding as it depends on the Zigbee implementation of the device itself.

This fact may of course change in the future over time with newer radio technologies + improved radio time management frameworks and protocol stacks from radio chip manufacturers).
