In this video, I'm showing how I got my Sonoff Zigbee Dongle set inside my Home Assistant VM running in Proxmox. There is a specific step that you need to do to make the dongle available and in my case it even required that I completely restart my Proxmox setup so that it was properly identified and attached.

Additionally, I then demonstrate how you can pair up a Zigbee mini switch to the setup.

Finally, I build a DIY Zigbee device using the ESP32-C6 DevKitM-1 module where we were able to turn on the onboard LED through Zigbee via Home Assistant.

With this I now have a full setup to connect more Zigbee devices and release the strain on my WiFi network.
