Description
EFR32MG24 Zigbee/Thread Gateway with PoE, WiFi and USB-C
Connect all your Zigbee and Thread devices to Home Assistant via Ethernet, WiFi or USB
The Sonoff Dongle Max (Dongle-M) is a high-performance Zigbee and Thread gateway, developed specifically for open-source platforms such as Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, openHAB and ioBroker.
With three connection options (Ethernet PoE, WiFi and USB), it adapts to any installation, even in places without an available power socket.
✨ Main features:
✔ Triple connection: Ethernet with PoE (802.3af), 2.4 GHz WiFi or USB-C
✔ Dual chipset EFR32MG24 + ESP32D0WDR2: Zigbee 3.0 and Thread in the same device
✔ Integrated Web Console via mDNS: update firmware, change modes and configure everything through the browser
✔ Turbo Mode: boost radio signal with one click for better coverage
✔ Replaceable dual antennas: 360-degree coverage, durable metal material
✔ MultiPAN support: Zigbee and Thread simultaneously (with appropriate firmware)
✔ Compatible with Matter-over-Thread
✔ Webhooks, MQTT and integrated VPN
⚙️ Operating modes:
- Zigbee Coordinator (to connect Zigbee devices to Home Assistant)
- Zigbee Router (to extend the existing Zigbee network)
- Thread RCP (to work as a Thread Border Router)
💡 Usage example: Connect the Dongle Max to the router via Ethernet cable.
PoE eliminates the need for a power outlet. Access the web console through the browser, select Zigbee Coordinator mode and add it to Home Assistant as a ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT integration.
From there, pair your Zigbee sensors, switches and lights directly. For extra coverage in a distant room, install a second Dongle Max as a Zigbee Router connected to another network point.
