Stable, Secure and High-Performance Z-Wave 800 Protocol
The Sonoff Dongle Plus PZG23 USB Z-Wave 800 integrates a powerful chipset with 512 KB of Flash and 64 KB of RAM , based on a 32-bit ARM Cortex-M33 processor, to offer high performance, greater response speed and advanced management of smart devices. Thanks to the Z-Wave S2 security standard , communications between devices are end-to-end encrypted, ensuring data protection, secure authentication and maximum reliability in the home automation network. Z-Wave 800 Series technology with Long Range (LR) support allows you to create a stable and scalable mesh network, ideal for large homes or professional installations. The system operates on a dedicated frequency, separate from Wi-Fi , minimizing interference and ensuring a more stable connection than traditional wireless protocols. Furthermore, completely local and cloud-free control increases security, privacy and speed of execution of automations, making the dongle the ideal solution for Home Assistant systems and advanced home automation platforms.
Long Distance Control up to Over 1000 Meters
The Sonoff Dongle Plus PZG23 USB Z-Wave 800 supports Z-Wave Long Range (ZWLR) , a technology designed to significantly extend the coverage of your home automation network. This means you can control devices even beyond the home , such as garage doors, outdoor lights, gates, garden sensors , or modules installed in difficult areas like basements and areas with weak signals . Thanks to Z-Wave communication on a dedicated frequency and a reliable mesh network, the signal is more stable and less prone to interference than Wi-Fi-only solutions, improving the continuity of control and automation.
The “over 1000m” distance refers to outdoor, open-air testing; in real-world environments, the range may vary depending on obstacles and building structure.
USB Extension Cable Included (1 meter)
The Sonoff Dongle Plus PZG23 USB Z-Wave 800 includes a 1-meter USB extension cable , useful for positioning the dongle away from PCs, NAS, routers, or other sources of interference. This reduces interference and improves radio signal quality, resulting in a more stable Z-Wave connection and better mesh network performance (especially in environments with a lot of electronic equipment).
Aluminum Design with Adjustable External Antenna
The Sonoff Dongle Plus PZG23 USB Z-Wave 800 combines a compact aluminum alloy body , which helps dissipate heat and improves reliability in continuous use, with a 2 dBi steerable external antenna to optimize the signal. This gives you a more stable Z-Wave connection, better coverage, and more robust performance in your mesh network, even in the presence of possible interference.
Tested to High Standards, Reliability Guaranteed
Designed for long-term stable use and subjected to rigorous quality tests, including electrostatic discharge (ESD) , repeated on/off cycling , and over 500 USB insertions/removals , as well as high and low temperature operation tests. This ensures a more durable, reliable dongle that is ready for 24/7 home automation installations.

Reliable SONOFF Dongle Series
The Sonoff Dongle Plus PZG23 USB Z-Wave 800 is part of the most tested SONOFF dongle line, developed and improved over time to offer a stable and quality Z-Wave coordinator. It inherits a proven design and rigorous hardware standards, designed for daily and continuous use. In USB format, it is a practical solution for controlling and managing Z-Wave devices.
SONOFF Zigbee and Thread Dongle range
In addition to the Z-Wave 800 Dongle , SONOFF offers a complete range of dongles dedicated to Zigbee and Thread , designed for different needs (USB or PoE, different antennas and performance) and compatible with open-source platforms like Home Assistant. This variety allows you to choose the most suitable coordinator based on the protocol and installation scenario: PZG23 is the right choice if you need Z-Wave 800 , while for Zigbee/Thread networks it is better to focus on the specific dongles of the SONOFF series indicated in the comparison.
We strongly recommend using a USB extension cable between the USB port and the dongle to reduce electromagnetic interference that may come from USB 3.0 ports, ensuring more stable communication.
You cannot use two Z-Wave adapters with the same integration. If you only use one integration, you will need to migrate your network. If you want to use two adapters simultaneously, you must install a second integration, such as Z-Wave JS UI.
