Product Description
The universal Zigbee USB gateway
The ConBee II replaces several manufacturer-specific with a single gateway and supports many Zigbee devices from well-known brands. Check out the ConBee II compatibility list to learn more.
A cloud free solution
The control is done locally via the Phoscon App. In addition to this there are community supported home automation systems such as Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, openHAB, FHEM, HomeSeer, Homebridge, ioBroker and WebThings Gateway in which the ConBee II is integrated.
This opens up many exciting possibilities to integrate the Zigbee devices supported by ConBee II into home automation.

Platform independentThe ConBee II transforms mini computers such as Raspberry Pi and Intel NUC, as well as PCs and laptops into universal Zigbee gateways. |
CompatibilityThe Phoscon solution is compatible with a wide range of lights, switches and sensors from well-known vendors. |
High signal rangeThe ConBee II has an outstanding range thanks to its signal amplifier. This makes it possible to use 2-3 rooms or to bridge floors. Further distant devices are connected by the Zigbee mesh network. In this all permanently powered Zigbee devices, such as lights and plugs, act as a repeater and can transfer the signal. |

- 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 app
import 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=8008
runThis = 0
windows = 0
portWin = '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())
This was the cheapest way to get a thread border router.
Then, I got a CC2531 and used Zigbee2mqtt. Worked well enough, but the range on my devices was really bad despite having mostly repeaters for my zigbee network and adding devices meant modifying the config and rebooting HASS which was less than ideal.
Eventually, the Conbee II came back in stock and I grabbed one to see if it would ease my Zigbee woes.
It does! (For the most part). My devices have a great signal now and my network is mostly stable. Two of my Outlets (both Tradfri) drop off the network everyday but they also did that on Zigbee2mqtt so I suspect that it’s more of an issue with the outlets than the Conbee. Very happy with this purchase.
Setup was not super smooth (did not automatically get detected), but I eventually figured it out. Adding devices was pretty easy. The web UI is nice, but definitely needs some enhancements (annoying help pop ups always show up when you go into Conbee).
Overall, I am happy because I accomplished my goal.

Jusqu'ici aucun problème ni de stabilité ni de reconnaissance, certains recommandent tout de même de lui adjoindre une rallonge USB pour plus de stabilité.
En tout cas, super efficace, et bye bye les passerelles propriétaires !
Die Einrichtung lief problemlos, sofern man sich mit der Materie beschäftigt hat oder bereit ist Google zu verwenden.
Sowohl in deconz als auch ZHA wird der Stick problemlos erkannt und empfängt erfolgreich alle Geräte in einer Massivbau Maisonette Wohnung.
Unabhängig von Position und Orientierung sollte ein Verlängerungskabel (USB) verwendet werden. Dies hilft enorm um den Sender in eine bessere Empfangs-/Sendeposition zu bringen.
In meinem Fall ist der Rechner (Raspberry) im Schrank versteckt.
Ich gebe selten 5 Sterne, aber hier bekommt man was man bestellt.
Die Verpackung ist schlicht und simpel. Den „Deckel“ des USB sticks könnte man in meinen Augen sogar weglassen. Am Ende steckt der Stick schließlich immer in einer USB Buchse und wird eher mäßig durch die Welt transportiert.
Versand zügig und unbeschädigt. Deutscher Hersteller/Vertreiber/Entwickler.

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.
