Mine are working on CC2531 with firmware CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_LinkKeyJoin.hex, see:
How (which menu / command) did you get any (hue/iris) zigbee devices included in openhab? The zigbee stick is configured but I can not find any menu how to “include” devices to the CC2531 zigbee controller.
The following was done and is working:
- FW flashed CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_Standard.hex
- added openhab user to group dialout and tty
=> GUI: Configuration=>Things=>CC2531EMK Coordinator turns green.
Usually, you have to reset your bulbs and then start the zigbee discovery of the zigbee binding (paper-UI -> inbox -> “+” -> ZigBee Binding).
In case of the Hue bulbs, a Hue Zigbee remote is quite useful to reset the bulbs. Other manufactures (Osram Lightify, Ikea Tradfri) have the option of cycling the power multiple times to reset (“unpair”) their devices.
That helped! After starting the discovery the logs shows:
[bee.discovery.ZigBeeDiscoveryService] - Starting ZigBee scan for zigbee:coordinator_cc2531:fa450351
[tsystems.zigbee.ZigBeeNetworkManager] - Permit join to 65532/0 for 60 seconds.
Unfortunately I do have a Phillips IRIS Living Color Gen2 Lamp, which uses Zigbee but seems to be different in behavior than standard HUE products. More reading and trying needed on my side.
After trying to include several times (without any obvious failure reasons), now the Phillips IRIS light is succesfully included in OpenHab.
Any news on the Qivicon Stick? I have read on another thread that there were users capable of making it work? But did not find much more apart from that or any documentation on how to make it work.
What news are you looking for? It has been supported now for about 6 months on Linux.
It is the same as the Telegesis dongle (it IS a Telegesis dongle).
Oh, did not know that, thanks for the update!
Is there a list of supported sticks/some documentation? I guess most users don’t know that it is a Telegesis dongle and also you wrote above (Zigbee Dongle - Comptabile) that the hardware and firmware probably is a bit different.
Only the binding documentation. This lists the coordinators that are supported.
Possibly you are right. There are many rebadged dongles out there, especially for the Ember, but you are right that this could be added to the docs if someone fancies adding a PR.
Note that it probably won’t work on Windows, and doesn’t work on Mac - this is only supported on Linux. This is because DT have used custom PID codes in the USB interface, so it is not detected as a serial port, and no driver is installed.
Yes, found that documentation, but as a normal user that was a bit too generic 
I can add a PR for that, although I don’t know other devices to add to the list. Also some might require additonal steps and don’t work out of the box? Then a table could be added for some sticks as well, so it is easier to see which sticks are working and how to set them up.
I am running on a Raspberry Pi, so that would work, great!
I would just add the devices that you know of - don’t try and make a huge list. Others can of course add their devices.
The Telegesis/Qivicon should not require additional steps. Really, I don’t think any devices should - the binding should perform all the configuration that is needed.
Yes, I think the Qivicon should work with the Pi right out of the box. It should even be detected by the binding when you plug the device in, so installation should be simple.
(oh, and thanks for improving the docs 
).
Currently I only know one but I can look in the forum or here to find more confirmed devices.
Ok. I think I had the TI devices in mind which seem to require flashing, but that is already in the docs, as I just saw.
Created a PR now: https://github.com/openhab/org.openhab.binding.zigbee/pull/217
For a future PR an example of a textual configuration might be helpful in the docs as well.
Thanks - I will take a look tonight.
Agreed - there is an open issue regarding this…
If you are using textual config, then this would really be appreciated .
Thanks for the link.
Unfortunately I am not using the binding at all currently. But I might have some time to run it at the weekend. Then I will most probably try to use a textual configuration, so I can add a section to the docs afterwards.

Chris, I think you misread, Zigate does seem to support the Xiaomi devices. It looks quite interesting to me.
I hope there is a way to integrate the zigate into OH, alternatively I noticed rhéteur is a zigate nodered
haven’t looked into that but that might be an easy way to integrate it.
I’m not sure what you mean? What did I misread? I didn’t say that Xiaomi devices don’t work with ZigBee coordinators - they do and I’ve tested them with the binding. What I said is they are not ZigBee compliant - ie I believe they are not tested and certified, and do not respect some parts of the protocol.
What this means is that they may not work 100% of the time. I know that they don’t respect the poll requirements for example - this doesn’t matter too much, but it makes them harder to join the network as they go to sleep straight away. I’ve seen messages on the SmartThings site to say they don’t respect some routing requirements - this may mean they need to be within range of the coordinator, or that they have problems rejoining a network if their parent changes.
So, don’t get me wrong - you can probably use these devices (I’ve personally tested the door sensors and temperature sensors - they work fine for me), but that doesn’t mean they will be 100% compliant with ZigBee and work in all instances.
I don’t know what this is, so can’t comment. As above - the ZigBee binding also works with Xiaomi devices, and my guess is that unless the Zigate has custom firmware to account for any non-standard functions, it will likely have the same sort of issues.
I have a telegesis dongle, is there any special firmware needed?
Yes - you need to have R309 which is the latest version.
