Domoticz

Hi,

I see a lot of Zigbee gateways that work with Domoticz?
But which one should I buy and why?

What are the differences? I see usb sticks, but whats the range of that?
Is tere something like the rflink with an external antenna?

Best regards,
Gert

Hello, you can see here https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 68&t=27995

Zigbee is a meshed network, not like rflink, you can increase range just by adding device.

Please check this website: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/
For a low price you can make your own zigbee stick and it connects to different brands of zigbee related devices (I have 2 Ikea GU10 dimmable bulbs and they work fine).

I don't mind helping you flash your own USB zigbee stick, but I see regular updates of the firmware and in order to apply them, you would need the programming unit again.
On the Dutch Marktplaats.nl I have seen preprogrammed sticks, but the price difference with Aliexpress isn't that big, including the programming unit.

I'd definitely go with Zigbee2MQTT, the number of supported devices is nothing short of incredible!

I am running my Domoticz on Windows 10. Is there a Zigbee2MQTT plugin for the Windows version of Domoticz?
