Sonoff ZBDongle-P

I have the sonoff dongle p and it’s rock solid with zigbee2mqtt. However, if was choosing a coordinator now, would probably go for the Poe powered slzb-06

Weird. I've got the Sonoff ZBDongle-P with tons of aqara door/window sensors, water leak sensors, and buttons and Ive never had these issues.

I've been running z2m for many years, with ~100 devices in the network, using a Sonoff ZBDongle-P, and no major issues. I don't think I've ever had issues with devices leaving the network, and the only restarts are the ones after running an update. What's important with Zigbee is that you have enough router devices, and also use reliable brands (which, for me, are IKEA, INNR, LIDL and Philips). Certain brands, like Aqara, don't play nice with others (I do have many Aqara _sensors_ but no routers). For USB dongles, using an extension cord is important to limit interference, but I've personally …

I highly recommend getting a Zigbee controller. The Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus works well for me. Then get some Zigbee lights and switches. If money is no object, Philips Hue is amazing! About half my lights are Hue, and you can’t beat them…. Unless you can’t afford $100 for the hub and $20-$60 per bulb.

Commenting to save this thread. I’ve been experiencing a very similar situation, except I run Zigbee2MQTT with the Sonoff-P dongle. My network has been very stable for about 6+ months, but recently I’m seeing mass devices going offline. I’m running around 140 Zigbee devices all on this one coordinator, so my first thought is I may need to run another coordinator - but the weird thing is the issues didn’t start after adding any devices. Annoying to deal with, and logs really aren’t helpful for troubleshooting. What kind of automation were you able to setup to restart the coordinator? I’d be …

Same issue with the CC2652-P (Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle-P) since the update from 2023.12.4 to 2024.1.2. Downgraded to 2023.12.4 and works again. > I have a CC2652-P (Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle-P) and mine too stopped working following the .1 update, I just flashed my firmware with CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20230507.hex via Python cc2538-bsl.py script and now it all works again. There are a bunch of versions of the firmware, make sure you get the right one for your device. Thanks for the advice! I'll try it on the weekend.

I have the P variant, and I encountered significant difficulties when using it with ZHA. However, as soon as I switched to Z2M, all my issues related to the Zigbee network losing connection were effectively resolved.
