Flash Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus With Python For Use In Home Assistant | pt8
In this video I'm looking at flashing the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus which is a fantastic piece of kit and comes ready to use out of the box. However I'm going to flash it with the latest firmware using Python, which you might find easier than dismantling the dongle to flash it, and gives you access to the latest functionality and lets you support a greater number of devices.
This is a step by step video and at the end I'll show you how to get the dongle set up in Home Assistant using Mosquitto MQTT broker and Zigbee2MQTT before I finally add in some of my Aqara Zigbee devices.
