Sonoff 800 Z-Wave Gateway PZG23

SONOFF 800 Z-Wave Dongle-PZG23The SONOFF 800 Z-Wave Dongle-PZG23 is a modern USB gateway designed to support devices operating on the Z-Wave standard. The model is based on the powerful EFR32ZG23 chip with a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M33 processor, 512 KB of Flash memory, and 64 KB of RAM, ensuring stable communication and efficient support for complex smart home networks. The device works with popular platforms such as Home Assistant, openHAB, and Z-Wave JS, allowing you to connect devices from different manufacturers into a single home automation system. The gateway supports configuration of regional Z-Wave frequencies, so it can be used in various countries and regions according to the platform settings.Stable communication and long rangeThe dongle uses Z-Wave Long Range technology, which enables a very wide communication range between smart home devices. The manufacturer claims a range of up to 1,000 meters in open terrain based on laboratory tests, which can facilitate the operation of devices installed in a garage, garden, or on the property. The included external antenna with a gain of 2 dBi improves signal quality and connection stability in areas prone to interference.Easy integration with automation systemsThe SONOFF Dongle-PZG23 is designed for seamless integration with popular smart home environments. The device enables quick installation and easy configuration in home automation systems, allowing you to efficiently manage Z-Wave devices from a single location. Thanks to its compatibility with multiple platforms, users can build their own smart home system without being limited to a single hardware manufacturer. The included 1-meter USB extension cable allows the dongle to be placed further away from sources of interference, which can positively impact the quality of wireless communication.Robust construction and operational safetyThe housing, made of aluminum and PC+ABS plastic, improves the device’s durability and helps dissipate heat more effectively during operation. The gateway supports the Z-Wave S2 security standard, which ensures encrypted communication between devices in the smart home network. The manufacturer has also implemented solutions to enhance durability for everyday use, including protection against electrostatic discharge and a design built to withstand repeated plugging and unplugging from the USB port. The device’s compact dimensions facilitate installation even in limited space around USB ports, and the operating temperature range of -10°C to 60°C allows the dongle to be used in less demanding technical conditions as well.IncludedSONOFF Z-Wave 800 Dongle-PZG23 gateway with antennaUSB cableUser manualManufacturer’s packaging ManufacturerSONOFFModelDongle-PZG23Device typeZ-Wave USB gatewayChipEFR32ZG23Processor32-bit ARM Cortex-M33Memory512 KB Flash, 64 KB RAMZ-Wave standardZ-Wave 800 SeriesZ-Wave Long Range supportYesRangeup to 1000 m in open terrain (according to lab tests)Antennaexternal 2 dBiAntenna connectorRP-SMAPower supply5V ⎓ 500mAHousing materialaluminum, PC+ABSOperating temperature rangefrom -10°C to 60°CCompatibilityHome Assistant, openHAB, Z-Wave JS, Linux, Windows, Raspberry PiDongle dimensions62.5 × 18 mmHeight with antenna151.5 mmColordark gray
