ConBee II Zigbee USB Gateway

The ConBee II is a universal Zigbee USB gateway that enables Home Assistant, deCONZ, and other platforms to communicate with Zigbee devices without cloud dependency or manufacturer-specific hubs. This USB stick plugs into a computer, Raspberry Pi, or NAS running compatible software, creating a local Zigbee network that you fully control.

The gateway supports Zigbee 3.0 and works with devices from Philips Hue, IKEA TRADFRI, Aqara, Xiaomi, OSRAM, and hundreds of other manufacturers. The deCONZ software provides a graphical interface for managing devices and visualizing the Zigbee mesh network. Home Assistant integration through ZHA or deCONZ enables automation with local control.

Unlike cloud-dependent hubs, the ConBee II operates entirely locally—devices work during internet outages and your data stays private. The external antenna provides better range than integrated USB antennas. For smart home enthusiasts wanting vendor-independent local Zigbee control, the ConBee II provides a versatile foundation for building a privacy-focused smart home.
