But that particular controller dongle is not one of the ones listed as supported by the Zigbee binding so I assumed the answer to op’s question is that no, this particular controller is no supported by OH. I’d love to be wrong. For that price, I’d replace my Zwave with this combo controller in a second if it opened my OH up to Zigbee support.
And I should have been clear, that only the Zigbee part wouldn’t work. I suspect the zwave might, though you are the expert.
I’ve been using one of these for over a month now, and it cost me less than a spare zstick. The zwave chip is the same as a zstick, but the firmware versions are slightly different. However, they have the same libraries, as reported by Zensys Tools. The Aeon backup software can be used with it, and I have done backups and restores across the two. After some recent fixes Chris has done, the zigbee binding is now working very well, except for a possible bug in reporting states accurately (he probably already has it fixed). I have 25 zigbee and ~85 zwave devices, and this stick seems to be able to handle the load just fine. There have been some other’s posting about them on this and other forums too, so hopefully there’ll be more reviews. But so far, it has been a solid piece.
No - they are not ZigBee devices. They use part of the ZigBee protocol, but don’t fully support it and this causes problems where the ZigBee stack requires certain functionality.
Running the 2.2 snapshot: 2.2.0.201708292017
Seems like it’s talking with the coordinator just fine (Baud rate 57600), but the thing still shows ‘INITIALIZING’.
Here’s the debug logs (I also have these logs with AshFrameHandler set to DEBUG):
Which version of OH are you running? Have you tried setting Reset to true on the coordinator? This should apply the configuration. I haven’t been able to change settings after the initial setup, so you may want to try deleting the coordinator and starting over. There have been a lot of changes to the binding since I first tried to get my HUSBZB-1 setup, and I haven’t tried starting from scratch since, so I don’t have any personal experience with the initial setup using the current binding, but you might find some helpful info in the Zigbee thread.
I’m not really sure why it’s not creating the network. I have a theory, but I’m not really sure it’s right… I’ll probably make a small change to see if it helps and we can take it from there…
@5iver 2.1, but a 2.2 snapshot for the ZigBee binding (2.2.0.201708292017). Yeah, I’ve tried several iterations of remove, restart, re-add (complete with removing the USB device too).

I just added it to my wishlist.
