Zigbee coordinators for GrowerHub

A particular brand is not required: affordable CC2652P USB sticks and other adapters from the Zigbee2MQTT list work well with GrowerHub. SONOFF remains a common branded option.

You do not need an expensive branded kit to get started. Choose an option that suits your budget and make sure the listing says Zigbee rather than Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Search links are neutral, have no affiliate tags, and availability varies by country and seller.
