5:00 you unscrew it so easily here. I tried so hard to unscrew mine, I even put it in a vice (gently) and used pliers to grip the tiny screwdriver I had for it to get extra leverage (no other screwdriver would fit, even one for those tiny screws for fixing glasses was too wide)😂 I just felt like the head was being worn away every time it slipped out so I stopped... I guess the python script that puts it in bootloader mode is the only option (if that is for Dongle E too but am not 100% sure).. But haven't got that to work either yet.

Many are saying that there are no official firmware upgrades for the dongle-E yet. And still others are suggesting that any firmware upgrades that are available are not advisable to install due to stability issues. Can you clarify the actual status here? Are these official firmware updates? Are there any concerns with updates? I'm installing on a fresh HAOS system on bare metal, and at present I have no zigbee coordinators or zigbee devices in the system. I just got this dongle-E yesterday, and so far all I've done is install Mosquitto broker and enable the mqtt integration. I haven't installed zigbee2mqtt yet (I'm also aware that this is experimental with the dongle-E).

hello could you help me with something? When you press "1" on the keyboard, nothing happens. I tried to search in other places the same thing that this option did but I didn't find it, is there another way to start it without pressing "1"?

@@SmartHomeJunkie Ok, I did it without and it worked like a charm. I have now two of these one as a router. Before I tried the P, but I had very bad results. Problems with connecting and stability problems. Even though I think the stability problems came from my Zigbee bulbs. I bought some from Pearl (company here in Germany) they are labeled as Luminea, but seem to be Tuya TS0505B. At least according to Z2M. Those bulbs are rubbish. They disconnect and often you can't reconnect them without relearning. There router functionality is near 0. I could not connect my Aqara P1 with them nor would any device connect through them. I read somewhere that the P1 wouldn't change connection to another device than they where connected to during the learning process. But thats not true. I exchanged the bulb against Ledvance and they run fine. the network is stable, the Aqara P1 even automatically connect to them where the signal was better to them. Now I have a stable Zigbee network (partially with the help of your video for finding my problems and switching to the E version even though this video I didn't need anymore). Nevertheless thanks for your help. Now I want a Samsung A8 tablet as a HA control with Kiosk mode. I found your video about it, but still not fully sure how I want to do it. Via app or via browser. Additionally I'm searching for a way of a device based Kiosk mode instead of the user based one you used (If I find a way and you're interested I can send you a mail how I did it, but I fear there is actual no solution). Keep on going!

Hi Ed, I just followed the tutorial and now the dongle is up and running. Just wonder if the update really worked out because the dongle failed to add some devices. Upon checking the hardware, ID is /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20230218160515-if00 (ID_REVISION 0442). Is it up-to-date yet? Secondly, when I try to pair old zigbee switches to this new coordinator, it shows "device has left network" multiple times and then not added. Does it mean the switches did actually join the network but somehow left it, or it's just the switches are out of range from the dongle? Thank you very much Ed

@@SmartHomeJunkie Thank you very much. I installed the ncp-uart-hw_6.10.3_115200 version and it seems to be the latest release. One more question please, my HA said it discovered a new device and asked me to configure it. Turned out it was Zigbee Home Automation recognizing my "SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2". I've never installed/used ZHA ever on my machine. Does it mean ZHA firmware still on the dongle and the update was failed? I tried to set up ZHA as it asked but also failed "Failed to probe the usb device". Should I be worry, or should I re-flash the dongle?
