Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Installation is easy using docker and velcro loops. Works with raspberry pi 4 running home assistant. Works perfectly with ha running in docker.

Easy to set up and much easier to add than wifi. Great bang for buck to bootstrap or extend (with the router firmware) your zigbee network. I plan to keep adding philips hue devices to this network since they have been so solid.



Cons

Wasted all kinds of time trying to debug my homeassistant setup. The led on it lights up but it wouldn't get recognized in home assistant. Smashed with hammer and throw away. Very annoying, for a device that was connected to a usb extension, and worki...  Read More

Quality


I have been using it for 5+ months and it is very stable and solid.

Packaging/appearance

Competitiveness


The newer firmware going forward is ember and requires the e stick instead.


You can do updates from from the linux command line, but sonoff could do a bit better.


My only complaint is that zigbee devices themselves tend to be more expensive than their wifi counterparts.
