Description The Sonoff Dongle Max (Zigbee) is engineered for serious smart home enthusiasts and professionals who demand rock-solid stability and future-proof connectivity. At its core lies the high-performance chipset combination of the EFR32MG24 (for Zigbee 3.0/Thread) and the ESP32D0WDR2 (for Wi-Fi/Ethernet), enabling advanced MultiPAN operations and seamless support for open-source systems like Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT. What sets the Dongle Max apart are its versatile deployment options: connect via USB-C for simple plug-and-play, use Wi-Fi for flexible placement, or utilize the built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE) port for maximum stability and a clean, single-cable power and network solution. Its web-based management interface allows for effortless device status monitoring, configuration changes, and, crucially, easy firmware management to switch between Coordinator, Router, or Thread RCP modes without manual flashing. Enclosed in a durable aluminum housing and featuring dual 5dBi adjustable antennas, the Dongle Max ensures superior, 360° signal coverage for a large, reliable, and scalable Zigbee and Thread network.
