Perfect timing, just received the delivery of the bridge and used your video to flash it 👍
As usual great tutorial, easy to follow and informative.
Thank you sir
After watching, I immediately ordered from ITead and it was finally delivered after about a month! I also picked up a variety of sensors as I have zero zigbee devices but I'm sick of the fragile and inconsistent z-wave integrations (errrr z-wave in general) with HomeAssistant. This video, along with the blog post (added some clarity that I needed) were great!
The Zigbee temp/humidity sensor is working great and the range seems great; reaches my master bath from my network closet which is about 80 ft & 3 walls + 1 brick wall.
My flashing process was a little finicky but overall smooth -- the USB to TTL device I had acted up after trying to take a backup of existing firmware via Tasmotizer.... but after unplugging it it started working again.
Tip 1: I found some different cable sets on Amazon that included male-to-femaile as well as male-to-male wires in one set. This let me use a breadboard for joingin the grounds together instead of mucking with the way that is presented on the video.
Tip2: BUT, these wires did not fit in the holes of the Sonoff Zigbee pcb nearly as easily as shown in the video. IN fact they didn't fit at all initially. But upon close inspection I could see that the male ends of the wire are folded over (not solit) so by squeezing them with pliers, to deform them, I was able to get them small enough to wedge into the PCB with a pretty solid connection and flashing went smoothly after that!
I bought this wire kit:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GD2BWPY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
"Don't bump it. Just sit still" - underrated advice.
That is AWESOME. I think I'm ready to jump into Zigbee. I was on the fence and really love the available Zioami/Aquara stuff, but entry price with the hub kept me away. I have some shopping to do lol. Oh the zigbee!
Ordered a Zigbee bridge today and some sensors, CZcams later recommended this video (coincidence?)
Great video as always.
Perfect!
really dig the quick flashes of overview of what will happen during the video at the start. More people should do that!
Thanks! It takes a little time but I try to do it from time to time. I really like the chapters feature in CZcams now on the time line.
Jus followed the guide, note to self follow all the instructions next time and don't miss anything. Got Zigbee and my first device setup, a Aquara Presence detector.
wow, not going to lie, im pretty slow at doing these type of things, this may have taken me like 2-3hours at most....but eventually i got there and now its intergrated into HA - much appreciated and awesome video and tutorial for the noobs like me ;) thank you again massive thumbs up!!
Glad I could help!
Another great video, thank you. My Sonoff zb bridge is now setup, currently it has only the one temperature sensor, but you gotta start somewhere.
Great video, thanks for the help on discord the other day. Mine is running very nicely. Some issues picking up a couple of sensors I had stuck around. Resolved those by plugging the bridge into a battery pack and bringing the sensor to the sensor (I’d stuck them down) .
Good to hear
thank you very much for this tutorial. After I have bricked already 2 of them I succeeded with the 3rd. Now I feel I am just at the beginning of the road.
Hard to brick them unless they were physically fried.
Just thought I'd stop by & say thank you. Got mine flashed easy enough. Xiaomi aqara devices give me a hard time pairing. Can't wait for the upcoming releases & support.
Working better than the the aqara gateway. Though it has been working for years, just every now and then lost signal with 1 motion sensor... Sonoff zigbee Bridge is running perfectly.
Thanks for another really useful video. Had to wait a while to get my bridge from itead and also ordered door sw, movement and temp sensors.
Took me about an hour to flash etc, but then I did solder the ftdi leads first.
The Sonoff sensors added really easily, but an Aqara temp/humidity/air pressure sensor took many attempts before adding. I almost gave up with it after around fifteen goes.
After pressing its pairing button for 5s and letting go, it flashes once if not paired and three quick ones when it works.
Yep, I had to try several times too on those. Someone else said if they are too close it causes an issue?
I hope to continue and thank you again for your efforts to benefit brothers and friends
Followed this video yesterday, 06/01/22 and still relevant.
Thanks a lot! Your guide was prefect. Have Mijia/Aqara sensors and Sonoff S31ZB Plugs up and running in my ZB network.
Great to hear!
Great guide. Awesome to have this control within HA now. Thanks!
Great to hear!
Thank you for a great video. You cover topics so well.
I purchased a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge. It arrived today and following your video I was able to get it flashed and integrated into my HA along with some Aqara Motion Sensors (my goal).
I wanted to take this opportunity to let you know I did have a very minor issue getting the Bridge to start taking the binary file.
I had to add one more connection. Grounded the Z_RST connection on the Bridge and upload was able to start and complete.
Thought you might like to modify your online instructions.
I have heard someone else having to do that before, the RST should happen when the upload starts though. Makes me wonder if one of yours has a possible issue, luckily it doesn't have to be flashed much. Thanks!
Hi I have the same issue can you pleas
Explain more since I jumped reset pin with ground but still stucked on XMD Bootloader timeout. Thanks
Thanks! You made this process trivial!
Glad it helped!
I just love your content ! Keep up the great work and thank you for everything !
Glad you enjoy it!
This is great mate! Thank you, you've saved me hours :D
Glad I could help!
finally, I configured the Zigbee ... your method is 100% working ... the only problem I faced -esp8266 not connecting to pc ... I tried several method and finally made it ... thank you, Bro
Great 👍 thanks for the feedback!
that's my current problem... how did you solve it?
thank for your time

@@sylwestersuchecki9034 could you solved it? I'm in the same point, I tryed using an arduino UNO as TTL converter and a FT232, and I'm obtaining the same error msg....
Just successfully flashed with your tutorial, thank you !
I had to enter the first "Backlog" command a second time to flash the zigbee chipset sucessfully.
At this time I'm not able to add it to home assistant, but I will probably post about it on discord.
Able to finally get it right?
@@digiblurDIY Yes thank you, as I said on discord my zigbee chipset wasn't successfuly flashed : the wifi connection must be good otherwise it restart before doing "XMS : Init packet send"
After it's not easy to pair devices thru the home assistant ZHA integration. I have better results with the MQTT firmware : in this mode the pairing is less problematic but I found that this mqtt firmware seems at the very early stage : for example it doesn't seems to make difference between simple clic and double clic with the aqara button.
For sure it probably going to be better in the futur ;)
Limitation of the HA Zigbee Integration?
@@digiblurDIY May be that the TCP communication is not enough reactive for EZSP protocol ? I don't know... May be I should try with the sonoff ZB next my wifi box.
Great video. Very straight forward, just followed the steps and got it working in one go.
Woohoo! Great job and thanks!
I really need to get one of these now
Update on my xiaomi sensors, I now have them all working. The switch & xiaomi cubes only show as a power entity, but zha_events show the switch clicks (no hold/long press) & cube actions. These are set up in either ha or node red to activate other entities etc. Shame they aren't fully integrated, but maybe in the future =). Works for all intents & purposes though, so happy.
so glad I read the comments... Xiaomi/Aquara devices are just want I wanted to add with this hub. Any better luck?
@@ein57ein They work great, once paired to the hub.
You may have to try several times, but they will eventually pair.
I have a newer v1.1 bridge, there is more white text on the pcb. The whole procedure works though. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the report.
Thank you very much. I learned a lot from you. I wish you success as well
Thank you! You too!
Thank you so much from India.
Unrelated device: recently attempted to flash a device via the UART connectors. Read the bin off fine, and wrote the new one. All was good. I plugged it in to the power and nothing happened.
It took a solid 30 seconds of looking at the board to see a blob of solder that I'd dropped and shorted the board out. Rip to my first and only attempt at manual flashing. I'll try again soon with a bit more care and patience
Good night, first of all I wanted to congratulate the video, I already enjoyed it and subscribed to the channel.
I'm having some instability with the ZigBee network using the Sonoff bridge as per the tutorial.
I have about 15 Zemismart switches here, the first 5 were very easy to pair, then a great instability started and the devices did not synchronize with the bridge

Hi, thanks again for this very useful video. I have one question, after flashing the tasmota firmware you saying there are 2 different ncp*.* files. In your video you choosed one. Is it possible to the other ncp file if we want to test the second one ? or it's to late and we have to do it on another Zigbee bridge ? thanks in advance.
Thanks for the guide!
I can confirm that flashing the Sonoff with a CP2102 based flasher just doesn't work, while a CH340G based flasher did the trick the first time around.
Haven't heard that one yet and so weird to see as the cp2102 was king on a dimmer flash. Goes to show you that having a couple tools in the toolbox helps figure things out.
@@digiblurDIY Exactly! I saw that video and tried flashing it with external power, but still no luck.
i cant get my ch340g to flash. any tips?
Nicely explained 🙂
Hi thanks I followed this video and install/configure the Za bridge, have few mini behind switches and door sensor, Problem my sonoff thumb switch I can only see the battery not the switch so there is no way i know if it's working. I tried to automate it in Home Assistant but cannot find the device in the trigger section....any suggestion. Also does MQTT{ which is not configure in Tasmota}, cause any conflict with ZAH integration. Thank you.
Very clear, thanks
Will the sonoff zigbee work right out of the box with Yale locks?
Hey do you know are there any strobe sirens that can work with the Sonos zigbee Bridge
is this still relevant n best route. found a 3.0 unit on bang good , same as this 1 ? it lists works with Alexa
Also just got the Aqara Temp sensor and Door Sensor working
Thanks sir good one as always
My pleasure
Just got working a SNZB-04 (window/door sensor) and SNZB-02 (temp/humidity) from Sonoff :)
It didn't work for me. SNZB-02 (temp/humidity) shows state "unknown" in HA and SNZB-04 (window/door sensor) is not discovered. I use Tasmota 9.1.0.2 and ncp-uart-sw_6.7.6_115200.ota
I have them and they work fine. Try to pair them up again.
Might be the battery apparently. They can be a little ropey
These instructions worked perfectly - thanks! Was wondering now it's setup - is there any way to configure the device to have one of the LED lights lit when it's powered on and active, just as an easy way to tell the device is alive at a glance?
You could try adjusting the LED settings in the template but I haven't done it myself.
Oh the zigbee! Oh the zigbee!
Let's not and say we did.
I can't activate my switch through the console or browser ... it returns me with the invalid cluster message ... how do i know the cluster id to send via zbsend?
...
Greetings from Brazil
I have many com ports memorized for different device interfaces.
Please your help, when flashing procees ends I had the a error message (MD5 of 0xFF is 4ec2e29ca3952043a72fadadd997769a). The Zigbee bridge is a V1.1 dated 20.02.28, it's powered by a 3,3V power supply, the ground is common with the USB to Serial converter, and ETx to RXD and ERX to TXD are proppertly connected. Flashing was used Tasmotizer, and also NodeMCU-PyFlasher, both whit the same results.
Thanks for your help.
Try holding z-rst to ground the entire time.
SSSSSSSSUPER !!!!! TKS FORM ITALY !!!!!!!!
Nice walktrough! I wonder how this compares to the raspbee/conbee stick. I have one of those, and it has lost all it's bindings two times already so I am very open to a better alternative. Would this be more solid?
I can't compare myself as I've only run another Zigbee stick in the HA box itself. I haven't used those models. As I said in the video I do like this one since I can put it in the middle of the house as all my sensors are battery powered sleeping ones.
Thank you!
Great video Travis - clean, clear and to the point. Just one question, for those who want to use "routers" (as maybe we have door sensors on shed doors at the far end of the garden for example) is it possible to flash a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge and use it in "Router" mode instead of "Coordinator"??
Thanks! I haven't seen any firmware for that. Just the two versions for either mode.
As I understand it, a “coordinator” node handles the wifi-Zigbee mesh connection. The Zigbee “routers” are like mesh repeaters/extenders. If you only have Zigbee routers, they won’t have a connection to the internet.
Looking to do this to a Sonoff bridge I just picked up but want a way to go back to factory firmware if need be. I can backup the factory load using Tasmotizer, or others, but what about the ncp firmware change? Is there any way to back that up or reload the Sonoff supplied ncp firmware? Haven’t been able to find that anywhere.
Not that I am aware of.
On order, thanks
Good helper
I had to connect the Z_RST pin to GND in order to flash with Tasmota. I have the Zigbee Brige V1.1 Now it works fine
The process should do that automatically but if there is some hardware issue I could see that having to be manually done.
Same here. Thanks for the info!
Did you connect Z_RST & GND for whole process ?
thanks for a great video. Can we have multiple zigbee bridges talking to each other and only one communicates with HA or they all need to talk back to HA? Just wondering as im in the process of buying some sonoff and i have a double story house and not sure if one will be able to cover the whole house. Thanks again.....i followed your video the other day to do my first tuya convert flash....and im in love with the process :D
You'd have to have them Tasmota Zigbee mode then handle things via MQTT. It might be better to just snag some mains powered devices and let it build the mesh though.
I have the Sonoff ZF Bridge and got it working with ZHA and the lumi sensors., but i'm unable to pair IKEA Trådfri module, do you know if there is a limitation there ?
I saw some issues posted with Ikea stuff on the Tasmota side they did fixes for. ZHA might need to implement the same ones.
thank you
I put my ground on the pin that goes through&through the board ....
I'm assuming this process can be followed for the Sonoff Smart Zigbee Bridge Pro as well, right? The idea of limiting to 32 devices is getting to me a little, even though I don't have a single Zigbee device yet, with my plan for smart light switches which may or may not end up being Zigbee, and then motion and temperature and humidity in all or many rooms, I am strongly considering getting the Pro instead.
I'd recommend a USB or Ethernet stick instead of these now, we didn't have those readily available then but now they are so easy to get, much easier to deal with the reliability is great. I'd stick to the CC2652 chipsets for now.
Great Video. I have followed the tutorial. I can see the bridge connected to my wifi network but can not access the bridge via the ip address. It keeps timing out. Any advice would be great. Cheers
Reflash it.
Tks Travis for sharing your work. I have been learning a lot with your videos.
If I keep in tasmota zigbee mode, is it possible to enable mqtt? Once enabled, is it possible to configure each device individually?
I would like to send sensors data to influxdb, for example. Cheers.
Yes, enabled MQTT and you'll be able to control it via MQTT and the Tasmota console using the Zigbee commands of Tasmota. tasmota.github.io/docs/Zigbee/
@@digiblurDIY Got it. Tks man!
I have quetions, in order to increate the range of zigbee signals due to my house have 4 floors, is it possible to have this Sonoff Zigbee bridge saveral units? Thank you very much.
This will explain the use of zigbee routers a little better czcams.com/video/TV5Qyssa7Ec/video.html
Hi,, would you know if its possible to emualate a hue bridge ? i have an ambilight tv, and and have loads of esp8266 running wled.. would be good to emulate a hue bridge, i can connect my tv then to my wleds ?
Not sure on that one, I don't have any Hue stuff.
Thanks, Travis for another great video. I just bought the Sonoff Zigbee bridge and would like to know if things have changed in HA so that you don't need to flash the bridge or is everyone still flashing the bridge. I did flash my 433 mhz bridge so its not a problem to flash this one. Just checking, thanks
I don't know of any API on it. I would still flash a Sonoff Basic though too.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks Travis
Hi, it is a perfect solution to work with that in Home assistant.
Just one question: due to concrete walls and distance it is difficult to connect all sensors to one bridge. How can I connect a second Sonoff/Tasmota ZBBridge to Home assistant?
You would need to use like Zigbee2mqtt to do a second network or instance. Much easier to just get a couple mains powered devices to route traffic.
I am trying to add an Ikea remote to my Sonoff Tasmota bridge, but I can only get the batteri power feature in, not any bottoms. How to do?
Take a look at the zha_events listener and see if you can see the actions there.
Hey! Very nice and complete video! Thanks for that.
Question, is it possible to connect RF 433Mhz devices to the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge once it has been flashed with Tasmota ? Perhaps the hardware has this feature and is disabled :\
There's no 433mhz radio in there.
Will zigbee devices keep on working if, for whatever reason, HASS is down with this setup? So if the Raspberry with hass shuts down... will I be able to switch the lights still?
The light switches will still work but of course not remotely unless you had like a button bound to a light then that button would still work.
Can I use this guide to flash my pir's smartlife sensors ? Thank you
I haven't flashed any zigbee battery sensors before myself.
I'm trying to add the ZHABridge to Homeasistant but can't get it to connect
I had it working previously but decieded to restart HA config due to a lot of old devices you can't remove and my ocd doesn't like that.
I choose :
- integration : Zigbbe Home Automation
- Configure port manually
- Radiotype : EZSP
- socket://192.168.1.103:8888
115200
But then I get an "can not connect to device" and I can browse to tasmota (with 192.168.1.103) just fine there are no firewall blocking 8888.
As said it did work before ... No changes was made other that removing the integration from HA and updating HA stuff.
Same ZHABridge no changes was made to that.
Any ideas?
I would try connect via putty or something to that port. Watch the Tasmota console with weblog 3 set and see if you can type in the terminal and see if it comes across.
Are there any reasons to upgrade from a CC2531 stick running zigbee2mqtt to this? My range is fine, just wondering.
I haven't used it with Zigbee2mqtt yet to compare. I did hear they are working on it.
Does anyone know what Zigbee channel the Bridge uses or if it can be changed? I already have a Hubitat running successfully on Channel 20 and bought this bridge to play with but don't want it to interfere with my Hubitat setup.
Not really sure as I haven't dug into how the Zigbee intergration in Home Assistant works for controlling the advanced side of the network.
Dupont jumpers dont fit in the holes. Are breadboard jumpers skinnier?
Yes, that are smaller. If you don't have any you could use some wire out of a cat5 cable too.
Wondering where you got the junper lead from. Mine is too big and won’t fit. Thank you for your video.
Those are breadboard jumpers.
@@digiblurDIY My breadboard jumpers were little thick. So ended up using ethernet wires instead. Thank you for your detailed guide.
How is the responsiveness of this after it’s flashed. Noticed Phillips hue hub is between 1_4 seconds to trigger. Doconz is usually always less than a seconds.
I know it isn't 4 seconds for sure. The door trigger sensor seems to be fairly quick, I wouldn't have an issue using it as a light automation where split seconds count.
Great video, Travis! Thank you. To clarify, will there still be a Zigbee mesh that's created when using this bridge?
Yep. That's the stuff I went over at the end showing the mains powered plug was showing up as a router/repeater.
@@digiblurDIY Awesome! I thought I caught it correctly but wanted to be sure. Thanks, brother.
No problem! I was just pointing out that I didn't have to worry about making the mesh with this guy as I run mostly battery powered Zigbee stuff.
I flashed the newest Tasmota zbbridge version 9.3 and noticed on the console output that my zbbridge was always restarting. After pasting the first command "Backlog Weblog 3; so65 1; Module 75" my bridge even freezed and after that although connected to my wifi I could not access the web UI anymore. Unfortunately I couldn't find any issue about this on github? By flashing the older version 9.2 everything worked fine....
I updated the guide yesterday to not use 9.3 as others had the same issue.
im on Hassio v 118. i accidentally use the OTA of ncp-uart-sw_6.5.5_115200.
when i try to upgrade again using 6.7.6, the hub gave error: Upload Failed
Magic byte is not 0xE9
You would need to flip into Tasmota Zigbee mode for it to accept an OTA file.
Great video as always. I plan to replase my zigbee2MQTT dongle with this as I use dockor on me Synology NAS. Synology apparently will no longer support dongles with the release of DSM 7.0. There was a way to setup a net network key with zigbee2MQTT for increase zigbee security. Does the Sonoff zigbee bridge also have this feature? Thanks
The network key is in z2m config. It is required no matter what adapter you use. You should always auto generate a random one or change the default.
@@digiblurDIY Thanks, I just ordered an sonoff zigbee bridge :)
Now off to order the sOnOff ZigBee bridge
Do you know how range of this bridge compares to USB pens with antenna (such like ZZH and other CC2652R based)?
If they had PCB antennas they would be very similar. There is no comparison though with the CC2652 series in basis of performance and compatibility though. Awesome chipset especially when used with Zigbee2MQTT
Hey man, thx for the video.
I`m getting a "failed to connect" when setting up the ZHA integration.
Could you help me out?
I'll need some more info. Were you able to get zigbee to start on the bridge itself?
I just got it to work. Started all over. Did the same thing though, don't know what the issue was, but it works now! Thank you for your reacting though 👍
for aqara 2-gang switches will it see them as 2 switches or just one ?
I don't have any to try but if they follow the zigbee standards it should expose all of its actions.
Thanks! I finally get my devices connected, btw my SONOFF SNZB-01 - Zigbee Wireless Switch only get battery status entitled, no click button status entitle, any idea?
I am having the same issue. The OP responded to a similar question -> "Until they get that fixed in ZHA you can roll with the MQTT method." Now I'm trying to work out how to do the MQTT method 🤣
@@gregologynet I see talk of this but nothing complete. If you have it figured out can you post what you did?
Same here. SNZB-01 connects without issue, only reports battery status.
Do the temperature sensors also show battery level? In the video they show as -%
They do, after a while they report their level. Which does makes sense for the device to only check the battery level a couple times a day.
Thanks for your video I followed the steps and everything went fine, all devices worked great for several days. However I had an separate issue with my Wi-Fi and decided to change the 2.4ghz channel from 8 to 1 and for some reason all my Wi-Fi devices dropped off and had to be re-connected, even though the SSID & password hadn't changed. Now i can't connect to my ZB Bridge until i reconfigure its Wi-Fi, so my question is how can i reset it back to AP mode? on my RF bridge it was 6 power cycles within 10 seconds to reset, is there anything similar on the ZB Bridge or do I need to re-flash to get back to Wi-Fi setup? I did swap my Wi-Fi back to its original channel but no joy, resetting the ZB Bridge is the only outstanding problem, I would appreciate any assistance.
The power recovery process is still the same. I would suggest in the future to put both wifi configs in the tasmota device as well as turning on wificonfig 2 when switching networks.
@@digiblurDIY wow what a rapid response, thank you. I'm new to Tasmota but I eventually found 6 rapid presses of the reset button put it into AP mode and I was able to re-connect to my Wi-Fi. As for the SSID issue, previously I found that some devices required a space at the end of my SSID to connect, my PIi's for example, others didn't. I don't know if this a Linux thing or my xiaomi router, however by changing the 2.4ghz channel seems to have removed the need for the space so those devices failed to re-connect. very strange but i now know the issue and all is good. Many thanks for your support and very informative videos.
Has someone test an aqara vibration sensor correctly? And an aqara qube?
One more, someone without flashing nothing can use the zbbridge with alexa? Thanks
I do believe I recall someone saying they got the cube working.
4:28 What if no internet conection? How you swich ON/OFF the lights
Why do you need the internet to control your lights? Zigbee is local.
Thank you...I was able to get this up and running with zigbee2MQTT. Should the LEDS on the bridge still work? I have nothing, both LEDS are out.
I haven't tried myself but you should be able to control them as they probably just attached to GPIO pins.
@@digiblurDIY I see in the template that they are setup. I guess I really should be asking if they are normally both out?
I will have to check to see. Mine is in a closet so I rarely put eyes on it.
@digiblurDIY is it possible to use the sonoff bridge with the usb cable instead of the Wi-Fi?
No. That isn't the design of it. They have many USB sticks already to cover this.
I have only used Z2MQTT before so I dont know any better. But why would you want to use this Wifi zigbee bridge over let's say an Zigbee CC2531 stick?
Also, what's the advantage of flashing this ZB bridge with Tasmota?
I talked about that part of why I prefer it. USB sticks are stuck on my server, signal is poor and in a bad location, combined with having to deal with serial port passthrough. For my setup, it fixed all that. I could put the bridge anywhere and it's all over IP.
The advantage of flashing it, is taking it out of the cloud.
Hi great tutorial!! I need some help with my Smart Lock ZKTeco DL30Z with Zigbee. The Sonoff Starting TCP Server on port 8888 and my MQTT Server check LWT = Online. My question is how to pair the Zigbee with the SmartLock and operates by my MQTT server? Thanks, Mario
You go into ZHA and hit pair devices and then start the pairing process on the lock.
@@digiblurDIY Hi I install a Home Assistant and with Zigbee ZHA ZBBridge connected via Zigbee Coordinator but NO Control only 2 entities of Diagnostic LQI and RSSI. Any ideas of how to used this Smart Lock DL30Z with Zigbee compatible? Why they used Zigbee but only under a propietary enviroment? Thanks
what if I connect this bridge straight into raspberry with hassio and didnt flash it with ncp-uart, just only tasmotaflash. Would it be cloudless and secure?
Oh definitely secure at that point as it would have no zigbee radio.
@@digiblurDIY I assume that flashing it with tasmota requires extra flashing for zigbee chip to communicate with bridge itself. But to have cloudless solution to we ever need to flash the bridge in first place?
hi, i've purchased USB TTL (FTDI) , it has DTR,RX,TX, VCC, CTS, GND pins. I don't see 3v3, which pin should i connect for 3v3? please advise. thanks
Could you send a picture of the back of it to my email, use the channel name at the gmail domain.
@@digiblurDIY many thanks for your response. I've just emailed with picture. this is the amazon link of the device www.amazon.ae/gp/product/B00IJXZQ7C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Has anyone tried to pair these sensors directly to SmartThings?
Having trouble with the SNZB-02 temp/humidity sensor. no readings
are they pairing up? Try to pair them again as I have the sensor and it shows readings in HA.
Hi Travis and people. I just tried tu configure my Sf Zigbee Bridge, and updated to Tasmota 10.0.0, which upgraded just fine, but now I cannot flash the NCP file. I get an Upload FAILED message. Do you think I have to go back to an older Tasmota version? Thanks for the good work
You do need to be in Zigbee Bridge mode to accept any new NCP files otherwise it doesn't know what to do with them. Change the module on the Configure Module selection to Zigbee Bridge
Plz guide which one should I buy Sonoff zigbee bridge pro 3.0 or SONOFF ZB Dongle-P Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Wireless Zigbee Gateway Analyzer Zigbee2MQTT USB Interface Capture with Antenna
I don't know how to flash any software. I need something that doesn't require any flashing. So that I can directly use it to add zigbee devices and use it with homeassistant.
Kindly reply.
USB adapter for sure! Plug and go.
@@digiblurDIY thank you for the reply
Probably someone already asked, but can you pair only Sonoff Zigbee devices or you can basically pair IKEA, Xiaomi, X provider devices as well?
I paired a bunch of random stuff with it. Tuya zigbee, Sengled bulb, Aqara, gledopto or something.
