SONOFF Dongle Max Zigbee/Thread PoE Dongle

The SONOFF Dongle Max Zigbee / Thread PoE Dongle (Dongle-M) is a high-performance, network-connected Zigbee and Thread coordinator designed for demanding smart home and professional automation environments. Offering flexible connectivity, advanced management features, and robust hardware, Dongle Max is ideal for users who require maximum reliability, scalability, and deployment freedom.

Built on a powerful dual-chip architecture combining Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 and ESP32-D0WD-R2, Dongle Max delivers exceptional processing capability and long-term stability. This architecture provides ample performance headroom for large Zigbee networks, fast automation processing, and future expansion as Zigbee, Thread, and Matter ecosystems continue to evolve.

Dongle Max supports multiple connectivity options, including Ethernet (PoE), Wi-Fi, and USB, allowing it to be deployed exactly where it performs best. Ethernet and PoE support enable reliable, low-latency operation in network cabinets or remote locations, while Wi-Fi connectivity allows flexible placement even when a wired network is unavailable. USB connectivity is also available for direct host attachment when required.

A built-in web-based management interface provides centralized access to device status, configuration, logs, and alerts. This allows easy monitoring of uptime, troubleshooting, and fine-tuning of device behavior without requiring command-line access, making ongoing management simple and efficient.

Firmware management is fully integrated into the web interface, allowing firmware updates or role changes without disassembly or manual flashing. Dongle Max can be easily configured for use as a Zigbee coordinator, Zigbee router, or Thread RCP, offering maximum flexibility for advanced users and evolving smart home setups.

For wireless performance, Dongle Max is equipped with dual adjustable 5dBi antennas, providing strong, consistent 360-degree signal coverage across large areas. The durable aluminum enclosure is engineered for long-term operation and has been tested with 24-hour salt spray exposure. Full CE, FCC, and RoHS certification ensures compliance, reliability, and peace of mind for both home and professional installations.

The SONOFF Dongle Max Zigbee / Thread PoE Dongle is fully compatible with leading open-source automation platforms such as Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, OpenHAB, and other Zigpy-based solutions, making it a powerful foundation for building stable, scalable, and fully local Zigbee and Thread networks.
