Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus MG24, Zigbee Gateway with EFR32MG24, Thread & Zigbee USB Stick, Zigbee Controller for Home Assistant or Zigbee2MQTT

Works great. Added to home assistant os through a USB passthrough to the HAOS VM. Able to setup Zigbee2MQTT easily and add my zigbee plugs almost instantly. Nice item that it also came with the recommended USB3.0 extender to get it away from the back of the metal case to increase range.

The SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus MG24 was one of the easiest smart home devices I’ve ever set up. I plugged it into my Home Assistant server, and it was immediately recognized without having to tinker much. Within minutes, I was adding Zigbee devices and everything worked seamlessly. This dongle is perfect for anyone who wants a straightforward, reliable way to integrate Zigbee into their Home Assistant setup. No flashing, no tinkering—just plug it in, add it to your entities and start connecting devices. The performance has been stable, and pairing new devices has been quick and painless. If you’re looking for a hassle‑free Zigbee coordinator that works out of the box, this is an excellent choice.

I bought the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (EFR32MG24) for Home Assistant, and setup was straightforward. It paired immediately with Zigbee2MQTT and required no reflashing or troubleshooting—just plug it in and point Zigbee2MQTT at the correct serial device. Physically, this is a much nicer design than the older SONOFF Zigbee dongle with the large metal heatsink. The compact form factor is cleaner, runs cooler in practice, and takes up less space. It also happens to match the size and shape of new SONOFF Z-Wave USB dongles, which makes running both side-by-side a lot tidier. Range and reliability have been solid so far. I haven’t had any issues with device dropouts, and it’s had no trouble reaching Zigbee devices throughout my home. Pairing has been quick and consistent, and overall stability has been exactly what you want from a coordinator, quietly doing its job without needing attention. Build quality feels good for the price.

This is a perfect fit for building your own Home Assistant or security system. The product has been working flawlessly and appears to have a good range compared to others. The price was reasonable as well. Working great with a Raspberry Pi 5 setup. Has an included USB extender so you can place the antenna further away from your mini or if you have another USB product plugged in that does not allow space for both. The maker put some thought into this device.

This is an extremely capable device... In fact, as far as signal, function, and general features, this is a 5 star device! If you need a Zigbee dongle, this is the one to get!!! Home Assistant? Get this one!!! Excellent device! It even comes with an extra USB cable to extend it away from your other antennas to avoid signal conflict. Now... my slight frustration with it is that I also tried to buy an extension antenna, which I presumed I could just unscrew the existing antenna off the SONOFF and replace it... IMPORTANT NOTE: YOU CAN'T REPLACE IT! The antenna on the SONOFF USB device is fixed permanently, so you cannot use another antenna (such as you would be able to with a typical WiFi dongle, which often have detachable antennas). The only option with this device is to use a USB extension cable (such as the one included) to move the dongle itself away from your other interfering signals. I didn't know if it was really fair to dock a star for this since the device itself is amazing... But I'm really surprised that SONOFF didn't provide a logical option here. As I said before, virtually every WiFi dongle out there with an antenna can screw-off to allow replacement antennas to be positioned. I was legitimately surprised that this one does not provide that option and I wish I checked more closely before I ordered an extension antenna for it. That little detail aside, I have ZERO complaints about the function of the device itself. It is a quality build and works absolutely perfectly... I may have been a little overkill in my attempt to get another antenna solution and, the good news is, I haven't needed the extension so far, so if you're looking for a Zigbee device, I don't know how many other options there are that are this good and just for the detail I mentioned, which may not even really be that essential (if at all). Still killing a star. I know, mean dude... Come on though SONOFF, it would only make you that much more awesome to allow extension and/or replacement options here.

Pros: I added this to my Home Assistant and it's working beautifully. It's been very stable over the past few months with not one discernable drop. For the price, it's a great value. Installation with Home Assistant was easy and having my Zigbee devices recognized has been consistent and smooth. I have this plugged into my Beelink EQ14 Mini PC and I have not noticed any negatives with power consumption or heat increase. Cons: none. If you're looking for a Zigbee dongle, especially for use with Home Assistant, this is great.

Great value, have it connected directly to my Home Assistant VM passing through USB from the host server. No issues at all with it immediately integrating to my setup. Apparently this is the new revision of the dongle that originally came out several years ago, and can be flashed to provide alternate functions if desired. Have not had any issues with stability or signal quality being powered directly from the host machine. Comes with a 2-3' USB extension cable, and the antenna can be tilted and rotated, but not removed.

Fairly easy to setup, and worked out of the box as advertised. The included extender cable is a nice touch as it would not function nearly as smoothly without it

Works like a charm. I use it in a vm inside omv. Once i passed the usb through it got detected instantly and it found my devices without any problems. Very happy with it.

Fungerar hur bra som helst med ZHA och Home Assistant, och med bra räckvidd. Har dock inte testat Z2M eller Thread. Lätt att uppgradera eller byta firmware via sonoff dongle web flasher. Följer också med en usb förlängningssladd.

Needed it as a thread border router is Home Assistant. Easy to flash using chrome. Works in HA thread/matter. Just what I needed.

J’ai pris cette Sonoff MG24 pour gérer spécifiquement mon réseau Thread et l’intégration Matter. Dans mon installation, j’ai fait le choix de la séparer de mon ancienne clé Sonoff (une MG21 / Dongle-E) que j'ai conservée uniquement pour le Zigbee. L’idée est d’avoir deux clés physiques distinctes plutôt qu’un firmware Multi-PAN, afin d'assurer une meilleure stabilité et d'éviter les interférences entre les deux protocoles sulla même radio. ​Côté firmware, c'est très simple : je suis passé par le site officiel de Sonoff en utilisant leur outil de flash via navigateur. J’ai sélectionné le firmware RCP Thread et voilà, la mise à jour s’est faite en quelques secondes, sans aucune difficulté. ​Je l’utilise actuellement sur Home Assistant avec l’add-on OTBR et le serveur Matter. L’intégration s’est faite tout de suite et le réseau semble stable pour le moment, avec des temps de réponse rapides. Pour l’instant, ça fonctionne très bien et je n’ai pas noté de soucis particuliers, donc je la recommande.

Works well with Home Assistant for Zigbee or Thread
