Cheers mate, I need one of those ethernet dongles as my house is too big and my HA server is a VM in a server rack. The USB dongle just can't cover the house.

ZIGBEE + USB are not happy together when aligned. Home Assistant suggests to use a small extension cord to misalign them even with their proprietary adapter.

Yes with USB 3 ports it's best to use an extension cable to move the dongle away to reduce interference. Although I'd not really noticed anything when using the SONOFF dongle on an Intel NUC

Yes I use some from AliExpress, the round ones, 16 amp. Work great and never had a problem and got 6 of them. Power monitoring all set up in Home Assistant too.

The Dongles look very nice and i got one but i have this PANID problem a lot run into and the only solution so far i could find, is you have to repair all your devices, so not soo easy as you say allways.

Did you ever try the procedure noted on the Zigbee2MQTT GitHub repository by removing the database.db and editing the configuration file?

If I already have another device that works as my coordinator (SonOff E for example) and I need to expand my ZigBee network with the SLZB-06, connected via ethernet cable (Connection mode: Ethernet) and working as a Router (Radio mode: ZigBee Router). Is it possible?

I haven't tried it as described but you should be able to as in reality it's no different to any devices on the network that act as a router.

I have not watched all video (a bit long) but WHY you are changing the dongle, apart of the fact you received one for free?…
@Byteofgeek
Ай бұрын
Well first of all the decision to change was not because it was free, I'd already been looking at the SMLIGHT coordinators as an option prior to them contacting me. That aside though, the change is all part of future plans I have with my network and host that I'd rather have in place now than when I've expanded things.

@@Byteofgeek ok, but that’s not an answer :) Why you are changing, that’s the question. It’s not irrelevant as I am having old coordinator myself, conbee II, which is still good, so not sure what to do :) I am considering skyconnect but I read it’s not that stable when doing both matter and zigbee, so now I’m thinking use skyconnect for matter and leave conbee II for zigbee… still thinking, that’s why I’m interested in your reasoning. Changing something to something else just because it’s newer has very little sense to me..

But I never said it was because it was newer I said it was for future plans 🙂 some of which I've mentioned on the channel previously but aren't too dissimilar to your needs.
