About Sonoff

[AntonioChacon (Antonio)]

Hello, I´m totally new at HA. 3 questions:
Is Sonoff fully compatible with HA?
Is there any Sonoff Dual R3 zigbee version?
Sonoff Wifi version goes through my Sonoff Zigbee Bridge or it goes to my wifi router directly?

TL;DR

• Is Sonoff fully compatible with HA?
  Both Zigbee and Wi-Fi products work.
  Wi-Fi products work directly via their own eWeLink firmware (cloud) and via replacement Tasmota firmware (local, no cloud, faster). Flashing Tasmota to a new device isn’t easy, but it is worth it.

• Is there any Sonoff Dual R3 zigbee version?
  No idea. See Reference 1.

• Sonoff Wifi version goes through my Sonoff Zigbee Bridge or it goes to my wifi router directly?
  Zigbee is a different radio protocol from Wi-Fi. See Reference 2.
  A Sonoff Wi-Fi device contains an ESP microcontroller to connect directly to WiFi, and hence to Home Assistant via Wi-Fi, TCP/IP, and MQTT. Sonoff Wi-Fi kit (and Shelly) can run several firmware options - Sonoff, Tasmota, or even ESPhome.
  Sonoff Zigbee kit is completely different - hardware, radio, protocol.

Where to start with ZigBee?

Hi, Zigbee is a standalone radio protocol. Both Sonoff and Hue produce Zigbee compatible products, but also kit based on other protocols. Sonoff also produce ESP-based devices based on Wi-Fi, some of which can be modified to run Tasmota firmware. Tasmota is designed to run on Wi-Fi, not Zigbee radios. Tuya make both modules for others, and their own hardware. Some use Wi-Fi, and probably some use Zigbee, but again are seperate. Basically you seem to be confusing radio standards / manufacturer…

@AntonioChacon: you are posting in the wrong section.
Your post is clearly not a community guide but a request for help.
