Review: If you have Home Assistant and need Zigbee this is the best solution - If you have Home Assistant, then adding Zigbee devices, after all your Tasmota'd or ESPHome stuff, is the next evolution. Albeit that Zigbee requires you to learn an addition concept of connection. As to why this is probably the best option out there I will explain further. I started with the Conbee II running on a Raspberry PI Home Assistant OS install, this offered a good solution but initially being green with it, I was using the DeConz add on to Home Assistant to control it, which really isn't bad other than the fact that every time you start it that annoying "Add A Light" mimic page appears which you have to dismiss every time... I like to run Home Assistant as lean as possible with the least amount of add-ons that I can get away with, so I exchanged the Conbee II for a Tasmota'd Sonoff Zigbee Bridge, which uses a TCP port via Tasmota to connect to the Zigbee Gateway, utilising ZHA. This seemed to work adequately enough with my Aqara Motion Sensors and Leak Detectors. When I started adding Blind Motor Controllers, things started getting a little chaotic, which devices starting to drop off the Mesh at an alarming rate with me using up time trying to get them to work. Ultimately I think I was asking too much of the Wifi to TCP to Zigbee box, and it just isn't capable of managing all those devices. I had sold the original ConBee II stick so I bought another. This time, I no longer was using the Raspberry PI for home assistant, but a Home Assistant Blue, and no longer using the DeConz Add in, but set up with ZHA. This combination of a cabled device with HAB, provides much more reliability and also a noticeably faster speed of operation with the Zigbee devices, along with the IKEA Tradfri repeater unit that I have located the other side of my house, it appears to have made the entire Zigbee setup a whole lot more resilient. Yes, the ConBee II is expensive for what it is but it seems to offer the best most robust solution to adding Zigbee Networking to Home Assistant. Review: Easy to get up and running! - Had this for a while, but only recently got around to setting it up with my Domoticz HA. Deconz (the software from the manufacturer) is easy to get and install. It just worked for me. Got to the companion 'web app' that is installed with it, click to add a sensor, press the button on the do-hickie, and off you go! Much better than I expected and they have support for a lot of gadgets in there. I've only added the aquaria stuff so far, but that was failed to add back into my aquaria hub for some reason, and this just detected them. Too a couple goes to pair some stuff, but I belive that is fairly normal. Seems like a good product. ## Features - Universal Zigbee USB gateway, compatible with popular Zigbee products across manufacturers - Local solution without cloud, no registration or Internet access needed - Strong signal range via power-amplifier - Supported operating systems: Windows 7 / 10, Ubuntu Linux, Raspbian and Docker - For PC, Notebook, Raspberry Pi or Mini-PC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PZ7ZHG5 | | Best Sellers Rank | 66,298 in Computers & Accessories ( See Top 100 in Computers & Accessories ) 53,356 in Accessories (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | Phoscon | | Brand Name | Phoscon | | Color | Black | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, Windows | | Compatible devices | Desktop | | Country of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,450 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Megabits Per Second | | Data link protocol | USB | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Hardware interface | USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 6L x 1.8W x 0.9H centimetres | | Item Weight | 8 Grams | | Manufacturer | dresden elektronik | | Manufacturer Part Number | BN-600107_SML | | Minimum Required Operating System Version | Windows 7 | | Model Number | BN-600107 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product dimensions | 6L x 1.8W x 0.9H centimetres | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Phoscon - **Colour:** Black - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, Windows - **Compatible devices:** Desktop - **Data link protocol:** USB - **Data transfer rate:** 3 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware interface:** USB - **Item weight:** 8 Grams - **Minimum Required Operating System Version:** Windows 7 - **Product dimensions:** 6L x 1.8W x 0.9H centimetres ## Images ![Phoscon ConBee II - universal Zigbee 3.0 USB gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518WBfTjipL.jpg) ![Phoscon ConBee II - universal Zigbee 3.0 USB gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YW2XGDNfL.jpg) ![Phoscon ConBee II - universal Zigbee 3.0 USB gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HVKULokiL.jpg) ![Phoscon ConBee II - universal Zigbee 3.0 USB gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kRdBmtP2L.jpg) ![Phoscon ConBee II - universal Zigbee 3.0 USB gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611m7l5bAfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I am unable to pair devices on home assistant, any idea!** A: I just received one of these and a pair of innr bulbs to dabble with home automation and Home Assistant. Was having the same problem. The fix for me was to follow the manufacturer's advice and connect the dongle via a USB extension lead. I thought attaching it to a front USB port would minimise interference from the computer but I was wrong. The bulbs paired flawlessly once the dongle was away from the computer. The extension lead I used is about 1m long. **Q: Does it works with aqara hubs** A: You dont need an Aqara Hub if you have a ConBee II. Our device makes other hubs irrelevant. **Q: Normally when pairing a new hue device to the hue hub, you have to press a button on the hub for security. how does the usb hub deal with this?** A: The software you install with this device, called phoscon, has a user interface (UI) and you select in the UI to put it in pairing mode. **Q: Does it work with zigbee2mqtt and/or HomeAssistant?** A: yes definitely does. I used this with both homeassistant zha and zigbee2mqtt. Take a look at the Sonoff zigbee 3 adapter too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you have Home Assistant and need Zigbee this is the best solution *by S***D on 31 August 2021* If you have Home Assistant, then adding Zigbee devices, after all your Tasmota'd or ESPHome stuff, is the next evolution.
