The foundation and the heart of your local smart home platform.

Take SONOFF iHost as an example, after adding Zigbee sub-devices, you can create smart scenes locally or control devices in real-time to meet your needs. 

We hope to bring you a better Zigbee gateway experience, so we continuously enhance the device compatibility of iHost (and other CUBE-powered hardware), striving to add all eWeLink-supported devices in your hands and devices certified with Zigbee 3.0.

Supported Zigbee Device

Acting as a Zigbee hub, iHost supports the following device we have tested to add and work properly, including all SONOFF Zigbee devices and a part of third-party Zigbee devices.

Of course, in addition to the feasible devices mentioned above, iHost can be compatible with most Zigbee 3.0-certified devices by the special adding process that identifies the device cluster. How does it work? The articles below will comprehensively introduce the principles and methods of adding devices.

The Process to Add the Zigbee 3.0 certified Device

A device that has obtained Zigbee 3.0 certification must meet the specific clusters required by the Zigbee alliance certificated product compliance.

The cluster is a specification defining one or more attributes, commands, behaviors, and dependencies, that support an independent utility or application function. The term may also be used for the implementation or instance of such a specification on an endpoint.

 

Since these devices meet different clusters, we can add these 3.0-certified devices to iHost according to the cluster capabilities of the devices. and retain their most basic abilities. Now we support the following clusters:

Cluster IDCluster Name Description
0x0000BasicAttributes and commands for determining basic information, setting user information such as location, and resetting to factory defaults
0x0001Power ConfigurationAttributes for determining more detailed information about a device's power source(s), and for configuring under/over voltage alarms
0x0020Poll Control Attributes and commands that provide an interface to control the polling of the sleeping end device
0x0006On/OffAttributes and commands for switching devices between "On" and "Off" states
0x0008Level ControlAttributes and commands for controlling a characteristic of devices that can be set to a level between fully "On" and fully "Off"
0x0300 Color ControlAttributes and commands for controlling the color of a color-capable light
0x0500IAS ZoneAttributes and commands for IAS security zone devices
0x0402 Temperature MeasurementAttributes and commands for configuring the measurement of temperature, and reporting temperature measurements
0x0405 Relative Humidity Measurement Attributes and commands for configuring the measurement of relative humidity, and reporting relative humidity measurements
0x0102 Window CoveringAttributes and commands for controlling a window covering

The process of adding a Zigbee device is as follows:

  • Make the Zigbee device enters pairing mode, and iHost will search for and discover it.
  • Depending on the Device Type, we consider it a standard device such as a switch, plug, light, temperature sensor, IAS security sensor, or Curtain.
  • Then we will further retrieve the cluster that the device has, and generate the corresponding capabilities that can be controlled. For example, the Color dimmable light has the “Color control” cluster, so it can be adjusted color in iHost.

In this way, the certified Zigbee 3.0 devices can be added and controlled in iHost.

The Device Types in CSA can be added

iHost supports adding a Zigbee switch, plug, light, temperature sensor, IAS security sensor, and Curtain.

According to different functions, usage methods, and product forms, these devices have corresponding Device types in CSA. You can visit the link and check:
