Works sometimes
Works well with Home Assistant but the range is appalling not covering a single floor. Also started sputtering when more than five devices were added.

It works. It is easy to use. using python to control zigbee devices via the deconz rest api
update March 10 2024- i am really quite happy because it does not ever cause problems, it just works. have used it every day since Jan 23rd 2022.original review June 17 2022- here is some example python code to control zigbee devices via the conbee II deconz rest api- but first run the conbee II instlaller it will install the deconz app/service and the phoscon appimport requests, pprint# ***** you must have the deconz app or service running for this to work ******# - on windows: from start menu run the deCONZ app - it defaults to port 80# - on pi from cmd line w/ ui: > /usr/bin/deCONZ --http-port=8008runThis = 0windows = 0portWin = '80'portPi = '8008'if windows == 1: ipAddr = 'http : // <ip address here>:' + portWin key = 'A0xxxxxxEE' outlet1 = '1'else: ipAddr = 'http : // <ip address here>:' + portPi key = '7ExxxxxxA2' outlet1 = '1'if (runThis == 0): # ---------------- get api key # # 1) start the 'phoscon app' from the 'deconz app' ui # # 2) enable 'authenticate app' in 'phoscon app'-gateway-advanced # # 3) set runThisApi = 0 and run the code and you will receive an api key payload = {"devicetype": "my application"} r = requests.post(ipAddr+'/api/', json=payload) # [{'success': {'username': '4E2BA46CB6'}}]if (runThis == 1): # ---------------- turn socket on payload = {"on": True} r = requests.put(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights/'+outlet1+'/state', json=payload)if (runThis == 2): # ---------------- turn socket off payload = {"on": False} r = requests.put(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights/'+outlet1+'/state', json=payload)if (runThis == 3): # ---------------- light state r = requests.get(ipAddr+'/api/'+key+'/lights')pprint.pprint(r)pprint.pprint(r.json())

Perfektes kleines Zigbee Gateway, nicht nur als Ersatz für Hue oder andere Gateways
Der Stick kam in einer Pappschachtel, die eng wie ein Kondom war. Perfektes Verpackungs/Inhaltsverhältnis ohne Luft. So muss das sein.Die Software lädt man sich bei Phoscon. Es gibt unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten für verschiedene Betriebssysteme. Bei mir läuft es als Container im Docker auf einer Synology Diskstation. Der Stick wird sofort erkannt.Ich habe drei ZigBee Multisensoren von Aqara für Temperatur/Luftfeuchtigkeit/Luftdruck eingebunden und es funktioniert ohne Probleme. Kopplung war in Sekunden erledigt. Die Sensoren sind in der Oberfäche unter "Sensoren". Die Web-Oberfläche ist sehr Consumerfreundlich. Ich benutze aber die deCONZ (das ist der Name der Phoscon Gateway Software) Integration in Home Assistant, die einwandfrei funktioniert.Als ich Phoscon GW (deCONZ) im Docker gestartet hatte und dabei war, die Sensoren einzurichten, meldete Home Assistant, dass eine neue deCONZ Integration erkannt wurde. Mit dem Einrichten wurden auch alle Sensoren übernommen und in Home Assistant registriert. Perfekt.Ich werde nun mal meine Lampen aus Philips Hue auf den ConBee umregistrieren und das Hue Gateway in die Rente schicken. Ein Gerät weniger am Laufen, eine Cloud weniger, die mit Daten versorgt wird.

Amazing zigbee router.
I have now likw 30 different sensors connected to it. I'm using thier phoscon app via docker container and it works fine. I have connected XiAomi sensors, BlitzWolf smart plugs, hue bulbs and Tradfri bulbs. Easy to add and manage them with the Phoscon app. Im using Home Assistant for controlling and monitoring them.Only issue i seen is when my docker container (Phoscon app) goes down, some of the Xiaomi sensor got disconnected and i had to manually add them again but I think it's the sensor issue rather than Conbee stick.I would also advice to have couple of smart bulbs and smart plugs in between as they will works a repeater for the conbee's zigbee network if you have lots of sensors like me. That covers the 3 floors I have here.I definitely recommend Conbee 2, I even bought a second one for my parents home.
