At SONOFF, we've always focused on building smart home products that are open, reliable, and designed for long-term use. Over the years, technologies like Zigbee and Wi-Fi have helped many users create flexible and locally controlled smart home systems.
As the smart home ecosystem continues to evolve, so do the needs of our users. To offer more options for stable communication, strong compatibility, and secure local control, SONOFF is now expanding its Dongle series to support Z-Wave—a protocol widely recognized for its reliability and long-term performance.
With the introduction of our first Z-Wave dongle, we're bringing Z-Wave into the SONOFF Dongle series and opening the door to even more smart home possibilities.
Meet SONOFF's First Z-Wave Dongle
Z-Wave is a wireless communication protocol designed for smart home applications. Built for low power consumption and long-term stability, it emphasizes reliability, compatibility, and local control.
Key characteristics that define Z-Wave include:
- Operation on a dedicated low-frequency band, reducing interference from Wi-Fi and other wireless protocols
- A stable mesh network that enhances reliability within supported ranges
- Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) support, extending coverage beyond a single room or floor
- Interoperability between Z-Wave certified devices from different brands
- Built-in advanced security features, such as S2 Security
The SONOFF Z-Wave 800 Dongle Plus is built around the Z-Wave 800 series chipset EFR32ZG23 and designed for users who value stability and long-term use. Together, these features make the dongle a solid foundation for users looking to explore Z-Wave while maintaining local control of their smart home.
Designed the SONOFF Way
Hardware design has always been an important part of SONOFF products, and this Z-Wave dongle is no exception.
Instead of using a compact internal antenna, the dongle features an adjustable 2dBi external antenna, offering greater flexibility in real-world environments. This design helps improve signal quality and allows users to optimize antenna positioning based on their setup.
The compact aluminum alloy enclosure enhances heat dissipation and durability. The device has passed multiple reliability tests, including ESD testing and 24-hour salt spray testing, making it suitable for long-term, always-on use—even in demanding environments such as basements or equipment cabinets.
For added flexibility during installation, a 1-meter USB extension cable is included, allowing the dongle to be positioned away from potential interference sources and placed where signal conditions are optimal.
Quality, Certifications, and Long-Term Support
As with all SONOFF products, quality and compliance are key considerations.
The Z-Wave Dongle Plus is certified for CE, FCC, RoHS, and CP65, and is backed by a 2-year warranty, providing confidence for everyday, continuous operation.
A New Option, Backed by a Familiar Brand
With the launch of its first Z-Wave dongle, SONOFF expands its open ecosystem to support even more smart home possibilities. For users looking to explore Z-Wave with a familiar and trusted brand, the SONOFF Z-Wave 800 Dongle Plus provides a reliable starting point. Designed for stability, flexibility, and continuous operation, it brings Z-Wave 800 capabilities into the SONOFF ecosystem in a simple and accessible way.
The product is now available on SONOFF.tech. If you're ready to expand your smart home with Z-Wave, this dongle is ready to be part of your setup.
