Local control. No Cloud. Your Platform.
Using Zi-Stick along with your preferred hardware and software means more control over your data and devices. Zi-Stick creates a locally operated Zigbee network when connected to a host on your network, such as a one-board PC, Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Laptop, Desktop PC, or even a Macbook. The Zi-Stick will transform your chosen platform into your Zigbee network.
With Zi-Stick, connect any Zigbee device to your own Smart Home. The host PC and application will save all automation, settings, and scenes locally to your own setup.
Zigbee Control for Premier Community Platforms
Zi-Stick utilizes a USB-UART bridge which makes Zi-Stick easy to use. You can use Zi-Stick with various automation programs like openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, FHEM, Node-RED, io Broker, Jeedom, or Home Assistant.
Simply connect the Zi-Stick, connect your software, and then begin your Smart Home journey via your self-built Zigbee gateway.

It took some tickering but the zi-stick finally added zigbee functionality to my home-assistant server. Note it did not work with my smartthing contacts with home assistant virtualized through docker. I needed to virtualized home assistant through proxmox and then used ZHA.

works way better than sonoff, not sure why people complain about it being plastic.

I'm not sure what differentiates this product, or why it exists. It is essentially the same as a Skyconnect, SLZB 07, or Sonoff dongle. All using the same chip.The only really difference is that this device is 1) harder to flash (no simple web flash utility); 2) was last to add thread firmware support; 3) does not have a firmware to flash as a Zigbee router (i.e. can ONLY be used as a coordinator at the time of this review).Does it work as a coordinator? Yes. I had no problem setting this up with Zigbee2Mqtt in both an Unraid docker, and directly into a Home Assistant virtual machine for both ZHA and Zigbee2Mqtt.Pros:- Small form factor if you need that- Seems to work the same as any other EFR32MG chip dongle- Nice clean white look if you like thatCons:- Firmware updates, mode changes, etc. are just harder than competitive products- No external antennae if you needed that- Even with the low profile, it is still recommended by most that you use a USB extension cable to reduce interference from the device it is plugged into (though it works ok without the extension)The cons outweigh the pros when you can get products without the cons for cheaper.

Great little stick, got it set up with openhab in probably 5 minutes.Worked with all the devices I planned to use it for, and so far has maintained a quick and a stable connection.Only good things to say about this product, well worth the $35.

This thing is all plastic. Typically, the part that slides into the USB slot is metal. This isn't... it's cheap, flimsy plastic. How much money do you suppose they've saved by taking away the metal and using plastic? You don't want to use this device in any USB port where things fit snug. As you can see by my picture, unlike any other USB plug I've ever seen, these things snap.

I have this hanging off my Home Assistant host in the basement. I have several door sensors across the house. The device communication is effective and responsive in a 4000sq ft house.

This stick is as plug-and-play as it gets. Using it with a dozen zigbee sensors in HA and everything just works.

i bought this to control all my zigbee devices. i have 47 philips hue light, 8 sensors, 5 tap switch, 8 dimmer switch. philips hue hub has limitation, so i wanted to test something else. so i bought this, with a raspbery pi 4, and other things, installed home assistant, all is working great. BUT when issuing color changes, for instance, the blue was not the same blue as hue application. this is not due to the controller but the application. overall, the controler is awsome, but i ended up using 2 philips hub, spliting light bulbs on one hun and all accessories on other hub, then using the light bulbs in google home, and using device hub on home assistant. overall, this controller seemed nice! but couldnt let go away philips hue application. so in the end, that usb controller is not plugged and sleeping in the drawer.
