Hi.
I am going to buy a Home Assistant Green, machine. I already have a Sonoff Zigbee dongle E that i got from a friend. Well i want to know if the Zigbee Dongle E would work on the HA Green? I have a couple of Zigbee devices and also a couple of Zigbee presences sensors. All of my devices are Sonoff with only a couple of Tuya plugs that work on the Tuya app.
I was told that the Zigbee radio on the Sky connect is not as powerfull as the radio in the Sonoff Zigbee Dongle E, thats why i want to use it.
I have been using Sonoff devices on the eWelink app for about 2 years now and want to migrate to HA Green.

Hello @potent root,
Buy a 1 or 2 meter exrension cable for that dongle, though. Get it operating away from the computer running it to make it broadcast better.

Hi again. I did as you told me.......i started a restore from a backup i did from my old PC that i ran with HA, to the new Green machine. After i installed the Green HA yesterday at about 2 in the afternoon, the new Green asked me if i wanted to start a new HA or restore from a backup, well i tried the backup part and it is still in "Restore in Progress " stage, 24 hours later. Is that possible? I have about 80 devices and 30 automations on the old HA PC that i backed up........and tried to restore that to the new Green model. I dont know if i have too many devices or is the Green too small to handle that. I might return it for a refund if it doesnt work. Help??
