Description
Looking for a Zigbee and Thread coordinator in Jordan for your Home Assistant or Zigbee2MQTT smart home? The SONOFF Dongle Max (Dongle-M) costs 50 JOD at Bestways, the exclusive SONOFF distributor in Jordan, with one unified price at every authorised dealer and a 12-month warranty from the official distributor.
The SONOFF Dongle Max (Dongle-M) is a Zigbee/Thread coordinator built on the powerful combination of EFR32MG24 + ESP32D0WDR2 for outstanding processing capability, stability and room for future expansion. It connects over Ethernet with PoE, Wi-Fi or USB, so you can place it wherever coverage is best, even far from your server or router.
A web-based console brings device status, settings, logs and alerts together in one place, and lets you switch or update firmware to run it as a Zigbee coordinator, router or Thread RCP, with no disassembly or manual flashing. Dual adjustable 5dBi antennas give 360° coverage, and the aluminum housing is tested with 24-hour salt spray and certified by CE, FCC and RoHS.
Note: the Dongle-M is designed for open platforms such as Home Assistant (ZHA) and Zigbee2MQTT.
