FAQ
1. Do I need a USB extension cable
It's highly recommended to use a USB extension cable between your USB port and your Zigbee dongle plus to minimise interferences.
2. How to check the firmware of SONOFF dongle plus and flash the firmware?
You can use the official Sonoff Dongle Quick Flasher web tool to check for the latest firmware and flash your device.
3. How to flash Zigbee dongle plus as Router?
Zigbee dongle plus is pre-installed with coordinator firmware, which can only be used to add sub-devices and cannot be added by other gateways (the Zigbee protocol stipulates that there can only be one gateway in each Zigbee network).
If you need to expand the Zigbee signal range, you can flash the router firmware using the Sonoff Dongle Quick Flasher web tool., Zigbee dongle plus running routing firmware will disguise itself as a light bulb
4. Can I run 2 Dongles with ZHA simultaneously?
No, Users can only add one ZHA integration to Home Assistant (but HA can connect to multiple deCONZ or Zigbee2MQTT instances).
5. Can I run Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA together on the same Dongle plus?
No. Z2M and ZHA are the same protocol (Zigbee). You can run one or the other, or buy a second dongle and run both on separate dongles.
6. Can I run 2 Dongles with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT on the same machine together?
Yeah, you can run two dongles at the same time. One in ZHA, the other one in Z2M, as long as you can uniquely identify them on the USB ports and keep separate Zigbee channels, ZHA defaults to 15, Z2M defaults to 11.
7. What is the difference between ZBDongle-P and ZBDongle-E?
The main differences between ZBDongle-P and ZBDongle-E are the chip and the supported platform. ZBdongle-P uses CC2652P while ZBDongle-E EFR32MG21, and ZBDongle-E supports Openhab but ZBDongle-P doesn't support yet.
8. How many devices can Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle support?
50 children Zigbee devices can be directly added to the ZBDongle-P in coordinator mode and max 200 zigbee devices with routers.
30 children Zigbee devices can be directly added to the ZBDognle-E in coordinator mode and extra 30 zigbee devices with a router, no limit on firmware but depends on platforms.

This is the 3rd time reporting this problem see tickets: #560248 and #sn3368
I'm thinking these are related.
I have 1 zigbee dongle 3, 2 water leak sensors, and 1 SWV - all are SONOFF devices bought at the same time. These are connected to HA via the ZHA integration. ALL sensors were paired very close to the dongle.
Both of the water leak sensors, once configured are showing "not available" in HA. Water leak sensors detect leaks locally (at the sensor) but are not showing in HA.
The SMV will not respond to the HA valve switch.
All senors are showing "not available" .
If you are willing to send replacement dongle. I will try again to make this work. Otherwise, I don not know what else to do. SONOFF devices are not playing nice with HA
recognized instantly by Home Assistant (running both on rasbperry pi and an intel PC) worked immediately. It's been great for a month so far.
Works perfectly with home assistant
Working very good with Iobroker
Great just plugged it in and straight away worked with HA
