It can be directly plugged into your computer or Raspberry Pi and can be used as a Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, or other open-source platforms to locally control all your Zigbee devices. It supports a wide range of devices, such as switches, temperature and humidity sensors, Wireless door/window sensors, etc, and can manage various sub-devices from various brands or flash router firmware to extend the network range. It is based on the **EFR32MG21** and pre-flashed with the Zigbee coordinator firmware based on EZNet 6.10.3 out of box. It has an SMA interface for an external rotatable antenna with a +20dBm output gain for further signal reach. It supports a working temperature of -10°C~40°C and a working height of =2000m, which makes it applicable to use indoors. And the aluminum housing effectively reduces signal interference from peripherals. You can also develop this on various platforms, such as Linux, Ubuntu, Raspbian, Windows, macOS (Windows and macOS require corresponding driver installation).
