Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle E

[ap2017]

Do I need to flash Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle E with any specific firmware to work with iobroker? I tried non-flashed dongle and it seems to be working after I set proper communication port and type to Silicon Labs.

The stick usually comes with the correct firmware. If everything works, then it's good.

The P is more common here in the forum, you can also find some instructions for flashing here.

@david-g Thanks. I've noticed that on Silabs Firmware Flasher sire https://darkxst.github.io/silabs-firmware-builder/ there are few versions of firmware for -E adapter in addition to latest Sonoff version, Is there any advantage using one of these?

Ezsp is the normal firmware. This is required for zigbee. I don't know if it works with Multipan, Thread is not yet supported by iobroker. If it comes soon, I don't know if zigbee and Thread can run on one stick.

@ap2017 you can follow the project zigbee2mqtt..

FYI : the dongle E does not support nvbackup function..
