Answers to frequently asked questions

Can I use Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24 with all ZigBee devices?

Most modern ZigBee devices are supported, but it is worth checking the list of compatible models in your chosen software, such as Home Assistant or Zigbee2MQTT, as functionality may vary slightly.

What does USB power mean in practice?

USB power allows for easy connection and portability between devices, but for long-term, uninterrupted operation, it is recommended to use a quality USB power supply and a stable computer or server.

How big of a space is this ZigBee bridge suitable for?

With its 200-meter range (in open space), the gateway is suitable for standard apartments, smaller houses or offices, but for larger or complex spaces you may need additional ZigBee repeaters or a more powerful central unit.

When is a USB bridge not the best choice?

In environments where you expect a constant high load, a higher level of reliability, or connecting a very large number of devices, solutions with a LAN or PoE connection and independent power supply may be more suitable.

Can this gateway work without an internet connection?

Yes, most home ZigBee systems, with appropriate local setup, allow operation without a permanent internet connection, which is suitable for users who want more privacy and reliability.
