High signal range The ConBee II has an outstanding range thanks to its signal amplifier. This makes it possible to use 2-3 rooms or to bridge floors. Further distant devices are connected by the Zigbee mesh network. In this all permanently powered Zigbee devices, such as lights and plugs, act as a repeater and can transfer the signal. Review: It works. It is easy to use. using python to control zigbee devices via the deconz rest api - update March 10 2024 - i am really quite happy because it does not ever cause problems, it just works. have used it every day since Jan 23rd 2022. original review June 17 2022 - here is some example python code to control zigbee devices via the conbee II deconz rest api - but first run the conbee II instlaller it will install the deconz app/service and the phoscon app import requests, pprint # ***** you must have the deconz app or service running for this to work ****** # - on windows: from start menu run the deCONZ app - it defaults to port 80 # - on pi from cmd line w/ ui: > /usr/bin/deCONZ --http-port=8008 runThis = 0 windows = 0 portWin = '80' portPi = '8008' if windows == 1: ipAddr = 'http : // :' + portWin key = 'A0xxxxxxEE' outlet1 = '1' else: ipAddr = 'http : // :' + portPi key = '7ExxxxxxA2' outlet1 = '1' if (runThis == 0): # ---------------- get api key # # 1) start the 'phoscon app' from the 'deconz app' ui # # 2) enable 'authenticate app' in 'phoscon app'-gateway-advanced # # 3) set runThisApi = 0 and run the code and you will receive an api key payload = {"devicetype": "my application"} r = requests.post(ipAddr+'/api/', json=payload) # [{'success': {'username': '4E2BA46CB6'}}] if (runThis == 1): # ---------------- turn socket on payload = {"on": True} r = requests.put(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights/'+outlet1+'/state', json=payload) if (runThis == 2): # ---------------- turn socket off payload = {"on": False} r = requests.put(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights/'+outlet1+'/state', json=payload) if (runThis == 3): # ---------------- light state r = requests.get(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights') pprint.pprint(r) pprint.pprint(r.json()) Review: Works with all of my aqara products (so far) - I originally purchased the Aqara Hub M2 for my Aqara sensors (window/door, temp, water, motion). Problem was that the Hub did not pass on my water sensors to Home Assistant. That was a deal breaker for me. I then tried the Sonoff stick, and had similar issues, except the Motion Sensor would not show any updates/changes and I had lots of troubles with pairing. I then tried the Conbee and everything showed up nicely! Setup was not super smooth (did not automatically get detected), but I eventually figured it out. Adding devices was pretty easy. The web UI is nice, but definitely needs some enhancements (annoying help pop ups always show up when you go into Conbee). Overall, I am happy because I accomplished my goal. ## Features - Universal Zigbee USB gateway integrates Zigbee products across manufacturers - Local solution without cloud, no registration or Internet access needed - Strong signal range via power-amplifier - Supported operating systems: Windows 7 / 10, Ubuntu Linux (AMD64), Raspbian and Docker - For PC, Notebook, Raspberry Pi or Mini-PC ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07PZ7ZHG5 | | Best Sellers Rank | #549 in USB Computer Network Adapters | | Brand | Phoscon | | Color | black | | Compatible Devices | Desktop | | Compatible Operating System Family | Linux, Windows | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 6,438 Reviews | | Data Link Protocol | USB | | Data Transfer Rate | 3 Megabits Per Second | | Hardware Interface | USB | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 2.36"L x 0.71"W x 0.35"H | | Item Weight | 8 Grams | | Manufacturer | dresden elektronik | | Mfr Part Number | BN-600107_SML | | Model Number | BN-600107 | | Product Dimensions | 2.36"L x 0.71"W x 0.35"H | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Phoscon - **Color:** black - **Compatible Devices:** Desktop - **Compatible Operating System Family:** Linux, Windows - **Data Link Protocol:** USB - **Data Transfer Rate:** 3 Megabits Per Second - **Hardware Interface:** USB - **Item Weight:** 8 Grams - **Manufacturer:** dresden elektronik - **Product Dimensions:** 2.36"L x 0.71"W x 0.35"H ## Images ![ConBee II - Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/518WBfTjipL.jpg) ![ConBee II - Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61YW2XGDNfL.jpg) ![ConBee II - Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HVKULokiL.jpg) ![ConBee II - Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81kRdBmtP2L.jpg) ![ConBee II - Universal Zigbee 3.0 USB Gateway, incl. deCONZ & Phoscon App, Home Automation, Home Assistant, ioBroker, Zigbee2MQTT - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611m7l5bAfL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Difference between this and aqara m2 hub?** A: The ConBee II is a universal Zigbee USB gateway, unites Zigbee devices of many vendors and is a cloud free solution. **Q: Is this compatible with Comcast/Xfinity door/window sensors?** A: I have tested some motion sensors and can confirm yes it does work. If you havent installed a sensor yourself or unsure of the process to put the sensor back in pairing mode this could seem like this stick is a no go but i can confirm it works on Visonic K9-85 SMA (Motion), electrical switch plugs. One issue everyday users might not being able to get over is software to control it. The web UI for this is.. awful. But there alternatives out there (IE Home assistant w/DeConz plugin) but this requires setting it up from 'somewhat' scratch. This isnt an easy plug and play switch over, xfinity has the software/interface already built from the ground up which is nice IMO. With their recent downgrade on how users can customize their system though (IE turn on light from 1 minute if W/D sensor trips) pairing and setting up yourself gives you more 'freedom' to setup own rules. Works with raspberrypi **Q: Is there a limit to how many hue bulbs I can connect?** A: I have about 10 bulbs, using xiaomi - but its similar ti hue or ikea, seen users in forums that have 25 or more, and it seems that the product support up to 32 sensors (battery operated) but should suppor up to 100-200 lights (powered devices) **Q: Is the smart things water leak ( of any water leak ) sensor compatible with this device?** A: It also seem that the water leak is now supported as they are now on their supported sensor list but honestly price wise aqara sensor and button are doing a wonderful job ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It works.
