The new Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2 is here.

I just bought and setup the Connect ZBT-1 a few weeks ago... ๐Ÿ˜ญ

So only either Thread or Zigbee. Guess Iโ€™m gonna stick with my Sonoff dongles.

Interesting! I didn't know about: https://sonoff.tech/en-us/products/sonoff-dongle-max-zigbee-thread-poe-dongle-dongle-m

I currently have my ZBT-1 connected to my server way off in the corner of the house, which is obviously not great. I was hoping one day to move to a more central location... Maybe the Sonoff dongle would help with that? ๐Ÿค”

@SkunkWorkz @paequ2 Yes, I also wondered about the advantage over my Sonoff dongle...
