There's two Sonoff sticks on Amazon both look identical but they have different specs:
ZBDongle-P:
ZBDongle-E:
The first seems the right one but they're even.yhe same price!
I'll have to take a look, these were not available when I was shopping. I have used the TI CC based chipset before. Looks like the
-E
varient is preferred now. https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/So doing some homework I found this, which suggests:
Apparently, the former is the Dongle Plus, while the latter is the Dongle Plus V2. So, despite the letters, the -E is the newer one.
All of which means, the -E seems the best option for me.
Thanks for that - they do include both E and P under discovery section it that does indeed seems to be their preference.
