Review on πŸ”Œ Enhanced GoControl CECOMINOD016164 HUSBZB-1 USB Hub by Alejandro Silem

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These wands will not work with Home Assistant. Do not buy.

I bought this wand about 2 months ago to use with a domestic helper. Immediately after I connected the flash drive to my rPi 3 with Hass.io, problems started. I enabled zha and not only did zigbee NOT work, it also caused the UI to fail to load. I've scoured the web for information on possible errors and found that the "batch" of Home Controls sticks I received from the seller had the wrong firmware installed, so I contacted them. They were great and offered to replace the stick after I returned the faulty stick. After a two-week exchange process, I finally received my new stick. To finally get a working flash drive, I connected a new one to my rPi and got the same result. Wrong stick. I think they sent me another wand from a bad batch. So I contacted them again, but this time. radio silence. I didn't hear a sound. I am now sitting here with a second broken non-recourse stick having flew out of the return window. I highly recommend NOT buying any of these unless you want to waste your money. Very disappointed.

Pros
  • A sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • Long delivery time
