    Give some number of this dongal or a picture of anything. Because dongli is from zajjj.... . Also, I personally recommend HA for zigbee support, not domoticz.
    Edit:
    Is this the kind of dongle you are referring to?

    1.SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus is a universal Zigbee USB stick. It can be used as a universal Zigbee gateway in Home Assistant or other open-source platforms via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT to locally control all your Zigbee sub-devices, so you don't need to invest in the Zigbee hubs for different brands, all you need is a universal gateway - Dongle Plus!

    2.The dongle plus has a wide range of supported devices, such as BASICZBR3, S31 Lite zb, SNZB01, SNZB02, SNZB03, SNZB04, ZBMINI, S26R2ZB , and various sub-devices from various brands or flash router firmware to extend the network range.

    3.The limits of ZBDongle Plus are 21 direct children and up to 40 children (Default values from official firmware). Supported to connect more by configuring yourself.

    *Updated version (in the near future) will be supported to work with maximum 200 children

    Pre-flashed with Z-Stack 3.x.0 coordinator firmware

    Can use ZHA in Home Assistant or use Zigbee2MQTT

    Base on TI CC2652P + CP2102N

    +20dBm output gain

    SMA interface external antenna

    Aluminum housing effectively reduces signal interference from peripherals

    Optional 1.5m USB extension cable for better signal range


    With HA there is a bit of a combination, you have to make a docker container or virtualBox.

    So what you have shown in the picture.

    The SONOFF Zigbee Dongle Plus is connected to open source smart home platforms such as Home Assistant, openHAB, Zigbee2MQTT, etc., as a coordinator in the ZigBee network, i.e. a gateway to manage ZigBee sub-devices. Users can also sflash the router software themselves and use it as a routing device in a Zigbee network to extend the network coverage.

    From what I've found you're either faced with uploading a different software or putting up a container.

    See maybe this will help

    It depends, I use a raspberry 4 but ha will probably fly on anything. On one hand you can use some old laptop/blasher or some other thing. On the other hand ha should work 24/7 and prónd expensive. I personally recommend some kind of single board raspberry from 3 upwards.
    I once tried to install ha in a docker but didn't do too well under wind was better. It all depends on you.

    Unfortunately I can't help you with this 😔 I installed it on a wine a long time ago. In addition, it was on a tinker which consumed "kilos" of electricity at rest so it missed the goal I wanted to achieve. So I can't help you search for this on the internet.

    Preferably RPI4 or penny terminal e.g. Wyse. RPi availability tragic.
    My setup is RPI4 4GB + dongle cc2531 + HA
    The first cc2531 was faulty but the second works nicely although the best is conbee.

    Only compared to cc2531 the conbee is expensive, even at majfrend. Cc2531 dongle without a case goes for a little over 10zł zato conbee cheapest as I searched I found for 53 or 57 but it is still cheaper than at least from bootland.

    Unfortunately I haven't had time to sit in the fold and check the new update ha. Maybe someone will comment.

    Firstly I was looking at the beginning of the year before prices went...into space and secondly without the case it was.
