The only ember-based coordinator USB stick I know of that is zigbee 3 capable and has somewhat uptodate firmware availible:
tronika has it Norway (guessing from your name )
Not cheap, but is reported working with newer Hue bulbs on openhab-zigbee with upgraded firmware.
(I have not tested this stick myself)
Thanks for the answer.
I live in Denmark, so your guessing is not all bad
The pricetag doesn’t seem to be all bad - but I am also used to Z-Wave prices
Oh, Danish, I belive Denmark is where the -sen ending is coming from.
I suppose we got that when Denmark and Norway was one kingdom.
There is also the itead zigbee 3.0 usb dongle.
It has a newer ember chip. But it only was made 1000 of them as a initial production run. When and if Itead get around to produce more I dont know.
I have seen them on ebay and the chinese stores.
There certainly is a market for uptodate ember-based USB coordinators.
I ordered a POPP ZB-STICK which I hope will arrive in a couple of days. But I am still open to other suggestions - I guess there is no law saying that I can only have one Zigbee coordinators .
What about the iTead (Sonoff) stick ? Yeah I see it’s out of stock but maybe you get it somewhere. It’s ZB3, Ember based and cheaper, too @mr_eskildsen chris once said he favorizes Ember chipset controllers.
Thanks for the information. I believe the POPP ZB-STICK is Ember chipset. At least that is ordered and expected to arrive in a couple of days. I will go and buy some bulbs, probably IKEA Trådfri, and then see how it works
I would certainly not recommend the 2531 as it is no longer supported by the manufacturer. It is recommended to use an Ember (Silabs) coordinator as these are generally the best available, and have the best support in the binding (ie most testing by community and commercial users and users).
I’m struggling getting ember coordinator configured with the Sonoff ZigBee USB 3.0 dongle plus. Would you please post the Ember Coordinator settings you have working with this stick?
