Sonoff
ZBDongle-E
Sonoff's Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 Zigbee coordinator and the multiprotocol sibling of the ZBDongle-P. It runs on ZHA with EmberZNet firmware and is the backup to the CC2652P ZBDongle-P.

How it attaches
USB, direct to the hub
Cabled to a USB port on the hub, so it lives wherever the hub lives. Use a short USB 2.0 extension to keep it clear of USB 3.0 ports and SSDs.
Setup guides
Roles it can fill
Built on the Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 with a +20 dBm amplifier and ships with EmberZNet firmware for ZHA. The chip is multiprotocol and can be reflashed as a Thread radio.
Its EmberZNet firmware has a rougher track record in Home Assistant than the CC2652P ZBDongle-P’s Z-Stack. The P is the recommended Sonoff Zigbee stick, and this one is the backup.
Give it a short USB 2.0 extension cable to clear USB 3.0 ports and SSDs, whose 2.4 GHz noise cripples Zigbee.
