If you prefer an IP coordinator the SMLIGHT SLZB-06 is a great device supported by Z2M. It’s more expensive than a dongle but IMO worth the difference in certain cases, such as mine (I have OH installed in a place surrounded by metalic devices, with lots of electric interference, but as I have ethernet cabling in all rooms I can place the SLZB-06 where it makes sense). It also supports PoE.

Thanks everyone for your kind advice, i will try the sonoff controller E version as it is very well priced and i will start building with sonoff for now.
My new projects are bed led lights triggered by sonoff motion sensors on either side of the bed (basically light comes on on either side trigger
And my basement stairs lights to be motion activated
Hopefully i will be able to do this with the simpler to use zigbee binding!
