Sonoff Zogbee 3.0 USB Router Pairing

[stu1811]

I flashed the router firmware to the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle. I hoped it would would auto enter pairing mode when I plugged it into a USB outlet. ZHA did not find the device when I tried to add it. How do I enable pairing mode?

This is the output from flashing the latest dev firmware if it matters:

Did you end up getting this to work? I'm stuck on this part as well.

@kris-anderson Yes, enable pairing on ZHA/zigbee2mqtt and the connect dongle to power

@stu1811

I'm doing something wrong then. Maybe it's how I'm flashing my stick. This is the command I'm running to flash the router firmware:

python Downloads/cc2538-bsl.py -evw -p /dev/tty.usbserial-210 --bootloader-sonoff-usb Downloads/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_router_20210128.hex
sonoff

Did you flash your device doing something differently?

python3 cc2538-bsl.py -evw -p /dev/ttyUSB1 --bootloader-sonoff-usb CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20211217.hex

I'm on the develop branch

[kris-anderson]

I was on the master branch, so thank you for specifying that.

You deployed the coordinator firmware and that worked okay as a router?

I tried both the coordinator and router firmware from the develop branch flashed to my stick, but I never see it when zigbee2mqtt is set to permit joining.

The stick works, I used it as my coordinator before testing my other stick which I left as my coordinator.

🤷 I'm still not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[stu1811]

@kris-anderson I forgot, I'm using zigbee2mqtt edge. No issues.

[kris-anderson]

Thanks for the feedback @stu1811 . I'm looking for stability so I'm going to stay on the non-dev branch for now, but I'll keep checking each time my instance has an update available.

Thank you again!

I too am stuck. Flashed the launchpad router firmware successfully, but it never will pair to my coordinator hub(Hubitat) I am able to pair many other zigbee routers but not this dongle.

@Rxich launchpad may have different chips (CC2652P or CC2652R). Did you use a firmware for the corresponding chip?

Did anyone ever figure this out? Edit: Just figured it out... for pairing, the device must be closer to the coordinater
