Overview
The SONOFF Dongle Max is a compact Zigbee, Thread and Matter adapter built for stable smart home gateways. It can be set up as a coordinator, a router or a Thread radio, and connects to Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT or eWeLink CUBE.
It suits apartments, offices and larger homes where a wired connection keeps the network steady. Power over Ethernet means there is no separate adapter to place, which makes for a tidy installation.
