As we’re trending, I thought I’d lean into it and see what everyone is using.

    There’s two Sonoff sticks on Amazon both look identical but they have different specs:

    ZBDongle-P:

    • USB 3.0
    • Pre-flashed with Z-Stack 3.x.0 coordinator firmware
    • Base on TI CC2652P + CP2102N

    ZBDongle-E:

    • USB
    • Pre-flashed with Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3 out of box
    • Base on EFR32MG21 + CH9102F

    The first seems the right one but they’re even.yhe same price!

        So doing some homework I found this, which suggests:

        • ZBDongle-P - Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA
        • ZBDongle-E - Matter and ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT still experimental

        Apparently, the former is the Dongle Plus, while the latter is the Dongle Plus V2. So, despite the letters, the -E is the newer one.

        All of which means, the -E seems the best option for me.
