Yes. Products in this category support at least one of Zigbee, Matter, or Wi-Fi, making them compatible with Home Assistant (recommended for local control), Apple Home via Matter bridge, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa. Each device's exact specification is shown on its product page under "Compatibility".

Works with Z-Wave JS in Home Assistant and openHAB: an 800-series EFR32ZG23 USB coordinator with S2 Security and Z-Wave Long Range up to 1000 m line of sight.

If your mesh keeps growing, the EFR32MG24 with 1536 KB Flash and 256 KB RAM keeps up — and a reflash turns the dongle into a Thread or Matter radio.
999MDL
The 43 mm body with its tilting antenna takes just one server USB port, and the bundled 0.5 m extension keeps the coordinator radio clear of USB 3.0 noise.
699MDL
Dozens of Zigbee devices in Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA on a single stick: the TI CC2652P coordinator with +20 dBm output holds up to 200 nodes and reflashes into a router.
699MDL
Unlike the ZBDongle-P built on the TI CC2652P, revision E runs a Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 with EmberZNet (EZSP) firmware, 20 dBm out of the box and Thread potential.
699MDL
For Zigbee2MQTT experiments and a small network of up to ~20 devices this legacy CC2531 dongle still does the job — no external antenna, firmware updates need a programmer.
