Unless it uses EmberZNet stack via ezsp protocol it’s not compatible.
If you view the comments against the PR if GitHub for zigbee update it mentions that the Dresden units are not compatible.
Really seems to be limited to silicon labs devices.
Just wish we could get a full list.
This £38 SILICON LABS ETRX357USB+8M Zigbee Transceiver Module uses EmberZNet, thinking to order and give it a try. Will come back with results.

At de.farnell.com the long range version ETRX357USB-LRS+8M costs 43,37 € plus about 6 € shipping (Germany). Depending on the report you are going to give us, divdav, this is probably what I’m going to try.
Ah sadly I didn’t notice that long range version. I still haven’t had a chance to test this stick, works piled up. I’ll be sure to post back once I do
Any progress yet?
Also curious if there is a compatible for sale in europe.
To give an update to the use of the ETRX357USB
I bought one to test with and it turns out it cannot be used.
EZSP functionality requires having access to the full EmberZNet wireless mesh stack to be able to update the firmware on the dongle. Access to the wireless mesh stacks requires the purchase of one of the full Mesh Networking development kits from Silicon Labs
What other options do we have? As soon as I find a working stick I will post it here.
Is the software here a potential help?
Looks related.
Thanks! I did not find that myself
That looks related indeed. Now have to figure out if it can be used and how 
Keep you posted.

I have been able to change the firmware successfully unfortunately I have installed the wrong one and cannot figure out yet how to change it again, if possible at all.
There are two options: 115200 bps, RTS/CTS and 57600 bps, XON/XOFF
I installed em357-ncp-uart-rts-cts-use-with-serial-uart-bl-500
While bellows is expecting 57600bps with XON/XOFF.
Anyhow it seems uart works now:
$ ./uart-test-2 -n 0 -p 5 -t 1

For anyone else who wants to try:

Package containing firmware: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yqyunjie/Zigbee-Project/master/software/STACK/ember-stack-Z5.0.0.0-em35x-ezsp-dev.exe
Then use the correct image file:
EmberZNet5.0.0-GA\EM35x-EZSP\build\em35x-ezsp-images\EM357\em357-ncp-uart-xon-xoff-use-with-serial-uart-bl-500.s37

Nice investigation - thanks!
Good luck to find a way to get the f/w you need on there…
I am now able to use the stick without changing the firmware. By changing the baudrate to 115200 and setting xonxoff to False in /bellows/uart.py line 260 and up. ( @rcloran Are you able to make this configurable? )
Home assistant is now successfully able to setup the zha component. And when I turn on my Ikea light bulb it is seen, but joining is still not successful

update:
It seems other users have the same issue with a Linear HUSBZB-1 stick.
I have been able to change the firmware. 
In the package that also contains the firmware (https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yqyunjie/Zigbee-Project/master/software/STACK/ember-stack-Z5.0.0.0-em35x-ezsp-dev.exe) there was a tool to reset to the bootloader
in Ember/EmberZNet5.0.0-GA/EM35x-EZSP/
$ make -f standalone-bootloader-demo-gateway.mak
$ cd /build/standalone-bootloader-demo-gateway
$ ./standalone-bootloader-demo-gateway.exe -n 0 -p ttyS4 -t 1
This will give a nice menu:
demo-host>bootload serial-menu
NCP Bootloader(host) v20 b00
1. upload ncp app image(.ebl)
2. switch to bootloader via EZSP
3. switch to bootloader via reset
4. switch to app reset
5. get running stack version
6. exit
BLH >
Select option 2. Now via the telegesis terminal application on baudrate 115200 I was able to upload a different image.
I am now running em357-ncp-uart-xon-xoff-use-with-serial-uart-bl-500.s37
Unfortunately my ikea buld is still not working. Might pick up a philips hue bulb somewhere to test that.
FYI, Dresden Elektronik have offered to donate RaspBee/ConBee hardware to developers Home Assistant if they would like to implement native support for them, see comment from manup here:

Which Driver did you use? The link you have provided is for the em358 model.
I think the driver was in this package:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yqyunjie/Zigbee-Project/master/software/STACK/ember-stack-Z5.0.0.0-em35x-ezsp-dev.exe
Thanks for the reply. I have checked the package and it isnt there.
I have managed to connect using linux however it appears the bootloader isnt present. ATI command works but AT+BLOAD fails to load the bootloader menu. I suspect it needs to be flashed with one via the programmer port.
I was hoping to use this device at some point with the aim of interfacing with a recently installed Smart Meter
For any one else with the same issues it appears I wasn’t using the correct baud rate (school boy error). This guide should provide what you need:
Hi!
We have created 2 new products, compatible with Home Assistant ZigBee component:
- Elelabs ZigBee USB adapter
- Elelabs ZigBee Raspberry Pi Shield]
I’m not posting a link here, not to spam the thread, but you can find them.
We have also created some user guides on how to get them working with Home Assistant, so you could get started easily.
As I can see those are no longer available. Can you tell me when it will be available?
