Just bought a Zigbee plug, a Zigbee bridge, and a USB WIFI switch from the link.
Don't forget to use the coupon code!

Nice concise informative video - thanks!

Apparently the sonoff zigbee devices will work with deConz on HA as well, if you have that already setup on HA and don't want the cloud involved.
HA should be able to convert the temp.

Thanks for the video!
Which model of the door switch is used to indicate the Open AND Closed position?
I'm looking for something simple that would give me an indication when my garage doors are left open.
I was looking at Sonoff RF Bridge and Sonoff DW1 door switch but it only gives an alarm when the door opens (no feedback that the door has closed back or status O/C).
Integration with Google Home mini to query door status would be beneficial but door O/C status on the phone would be enough.
Thanks.

looks like a cool device - wonder how it stands up to the conbee usb stick for using HA to control everything (including all the zigbee stuff)

[PaulineMiddelink]

For zigbee that is incredible slow. I have the sneaking suspicion that those rules live somewhere in the cloud and the bridge has to talk all the way to Chine or whereever they run. Would ve nice to try with wifi internet blocked for the bridhe.

Thank you. Just the kind of video I was looking for. I have some quick questions. Will be nice if you can answer them.
Firstly, the black RF bridge will connect ANY 433 MHz device with sonoff (ewelink) app where as the ZB bridge will only connect ZB devices? Am I right?
Secondly, If I do not have any ZB devices, then does it make sense to buy 433 MHz RF bridge instead and buy cheaper door sensors, PIR sensors etc and use them with Ewelink app? Thank once again.

Hi, can you tell if zigbee switch can be controlled by other zigbee sensor without Wi-fi/LAN/Cloud?

[javiersiado]

If I have an Echo Plus do I need the bridge to interact with all sonoff zigbee devices?

[ultraseven]

yes i agree with the dark mode. its hard to see the status of the devices like they use the color green when its on.

[TomOS]

can you set up a scene that a zigbee door sensor can be used when it open to turn on a lamp controlled by a Sonoff Basic using ewelink app?

[romyperdanaputra]

So, others device can be disconnected from local wifi? I mean you just need others device connect to zigbee bridge and control via it?

[sirgoodenough]

As soon as someone hacks it, I'm interested. Just started my Zb network. I should buy one to help test stuff...

[xanderc]

I would like to buy this zigbee bridge and would like to connect zigbee smoke detectors to it. Sonoff doesn’t mention smoke detectors in the available devices. Have you tried adding them anyways or have any idea if this would work?

[Thenoodle]

So what reason for this..?.is it a hub.? So if I buy 3 zbmini I can't interconnect them you less I have the bridge ??

[strictlypassion]

zigbee bridhe shows "offline " status on the eWlink app .any idea why

[pbolomey]

Board v1.1 dated 2020.02.028 can not be flashed, I have tried pretty much everything and on 2 boards i got, using different flasher software.

[colincheng]

How can I integrate zigbee devices connected to the Sonoff bridge that are not made by Sonoff with Alexa. Currently, the discovery and adoption process into the Zigbee hub is quick and effortless. Unfortunately, Alexa and Google assistant do not see these zigbee devices.

[jpborjas]

After several months of this Bridge working, a HA upgrade broke it and I’m told this type of Zigbee bridge I’ver WiFi is not supported. Have you guys experienced something similar?

[kennyroberts]

Hi does this bridge works in LAN mode by default? (Without hacking)
