In todays video we are looking at Sonoffs Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. These dongles are great and come pre flashed with the Z-Stack_3.x.0 firmware and are ready to work straight out of the box.

I would highly reccomend updating the firmware on them though in order to utiise newer features and sto support more connected Zigbee devices.

In this video we are having a look at the Manual method of flashing firmware onto the dongle as well as a quick run through on how to setup the Mosquitto MQTT broker and also Zigbee2MQTT all within Home Assistant. In addition to this I also cover some of the troubleshooting for the dongle not being detected or failing to flash.

This tutorial takes a hand holding aproach with everything being shown in helpful segments. Let me know what you think below!
