Zigbee plugin. What dongle to buy for testing?

[ScottRennie]

I agree!

[ghell2000]

personnally I deeply regret my choice: as a matter of evidence Homeseer completly disregard european market!
It is impossible to buy a compatible dongle in Europe

I have an EU Z-net. It doesn't have a z-wave daughterboard, just a dongle in a USB port. I would love to be able to add Zigbee to it.

I can't be 100% sure because I haven't tested it, but this EM358 stick is very likely to work with the Zigbee plugin because according to my research it uses the same Zigbee stack (Ember) and the same baud rate (57600) as the Nortek stick.
If you try it you will have to select the Nortek stick as the interface when you setup the network from the plugin.

The dongle i mentioned was outgoing product but they recommended this one instead
https://www.digikey.com/en/products/...10-USB/9953048
will that work?
Or else i would love that you added Conbee ll to your zigbee plugin, cause it is easy to get in Europe.

If not i guess i will go for zigbee2mqtt with the dongle they recommend:

Any updates or success with European sourced dongles?

I would also really like this option, just supporting US available stuff is missing a huge market.

Hello everyone,

I'm having trouble adding my Nortetk HUSBSB-1 to Homeseer, because I updated it's firmware to support 115200bps rate, which works perfectly well in Home Assistant.

Can anyone, please, post the contents of your Homeseer/Config/Zigbee.ini file?

Please obfuscate any personal information, such as serial numbers or what else you may find personal.

I just want to find out if I can manually edit this file, in case it includes a setting for baud rate or something like 57600, which I will be willing to try and change to 115200 to see if it would work on Homeseer as well.

The reason I'm asking is because I cannot seem to be able to use the add interface wizard (it does not end because it cannot communicate with the right rate with my HUSBSB-1), which results in my Zigbee.ini file ending up empty.

TIA
Cesar

Hi All,

I too am interested in a zigbee dongle that is natively supported by HS4 . I run in HS4 Australia on ubuntu server using z-wave UZB (Australian frequency) . I run a Smarthings hub for my zigbee devices but would dearly like to retire the Smarthings Hub completely.

I am really looking for the one stop shop for my automation server. So far HS4 does everything I need it to do - expect for native zigbee. :-(


If I am understanding correctly if appears some have had success with using the Nortek Stick whilst only configuring the Zigbee interface whilst continuing to use the Z-wave on UZB?
