Phoscon ConBee III - Universal Zigbee USB Gateway

Great zigbee dingle for home assistant. Had a phoscon ii but reallocated that to a thread border router. The phoscon III works great in conjunction with ZHA in home assistant

Initially when this product was in it's early stages it was almost entirely useless. End point devices would constantly drop off and it would burn through their batteries after a couple of days. It also irreparably broke three Aqara sensors. So I stuck it on the shelf.After the firmware updates in April it finally became not just useable, but considerably more stable than my Conbee ii with deCONZ and Home Assistant. I have a large network of some 140 devices - about 50/50 routing and end-point and they never drop. Very impressive.A big thing that needs improving is the firmware update process, which requires Windows Linux and programming knowledge. Considering how critical these updates were, this is a big issue. A big button that says 'update firmware' is all that should be needed. UX isn't the strong suit of most IOT companies and it limits this sort of thing to people with a certain type of brain/disposition, which is a shame as people should be able to get creative with IOT devices without having to understand YAML or whatever else. That stuff should happen under the hood so people can get stuff done, Apple style IMHO.
