Dongle Plus can serve as a universal Zigbee gateway (coordinator) for smart home integration. You can easily use it in environments such as Home Assistant and other open-source solutions, where it ensures communication with many Zigbee devices across brands.
To extend coverage, you can also use the dongle with router (repeater) firmware to strengthen the range of the entire Zigbee network. For better placement away from sources of interference, you can also purchase a USB extension cable (e.g., 1.5 m).
Thoughtful design: the aluminum alloy body helps deliver high-quality signal transmission and reduces interference from surrounding devices. The external antenna with an SMA interface contributes to higher connection stability.
