SONOFF Dongle Max is a powerful smart home gateway that connects your Zigbee devices to Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT. It offers Ethernet with PoE, Wi‑Fi and USB connections, supports Zigbee 3.0, Thread (RCP), and works as both a coordinator and a router. Thanks to the EFR32MG24 and ESP32 chips, it ensures stable operation, fast communication, and low power consumption.
Build a reliable and scalable smart home network. SONOFF Dongle Max provides flexible placement with three connection methods – Ethernet (PoE), Wi‑Fi 2.4 GHz, or USB‑C. Compatibility with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT and quick auto-detection make setup a matter of a few clicks.
The device uses proven platforms: EFR32MG24 (Zigbee/Thread) and ESP32 (Wi‑Fi), delivering stability, fast data transfer, and low power consumption. It can operate as a Zigbee coordinator or router and supports Thread RCP. MultiPAN support for concurrent Zigbee and Thread operation is planned for the future.
From the local web console, you can easily update firmware, change settings, manage webhooks for notifications and backups, or adjust the LED indication. With the included mounting kit, you can place the gateway on a desk or on a wall.
