I'm currently running HA on a Pi 4 and have had occasional issues with my Zigbee dongle needing to be unplugged and plugged back in. I know Pi devices can have issues with network interference and power supply issues for USB devices, so I want to know what people recommend for running HA with a Zigbee dongle. And what are the most recommended zigbee dongles now? I'm currently using a "SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Gateway" which I got about 3 years ago.

Hi, I have a RPi4 with a Smlight SLZB-06 and works perfect

I use the SLZB-06 too. Works nicely. Also it's away from anything due to PoE/Ethernet. I have some hardware recommendations at the end here: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/6ee130240bdc6a7fed2d5224616544a0
