Well explained. Do you have any tutorial with the needed devices (such as rasppi.) to support the dongle?

Hello! I can provide you with a general tutorial on how to set up a Zigbee dongle with a Raspberry Pi. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. First, you will need to have a Zigbee dongle that is compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Some popular options include the ConBee II and the Elelabs Zigbee USB Adapter. 2. Install the Raspbian operating system on your Raspberry Pi, if it is not already installed. You can follow the official Raspberry Pi documentation for instructions on how to do this. 3. Connect the Zigbee dongle to one of the USB ports on the Raspberry Pi. 4. Install the Zigbee software on the Raspberry Pi. One popular option is the Zigbee2MQTT software, which allows you to control Zigbee devices using MQTT messages. You can follow the official Zigbee2MQTT documentation for instructions on how to install the software on the Raspberry Pi. 5. Configure the Zigbee2MQTT software to use the Zigbee dongle. You can follow the instructions in the Zigbee2MQTT documentation for how to do this. You will need to specify the serial port that the dongle is connected to, as well as any other configuration options that are specific to your Zigbee network. 6. Pair your Zigbee devices with the Zigbee network. This will typically involve putting your devices into pairing mode and then using the Zigbee2MQTT software to discover and add them to the network. That's it! With these steps, you should be able to set up a Zigbee dongle with your Raspberry Pi and start controlling Zigbee devices. Please note that the specific steps may vary depending on the exact hardware and software you are using, so be sure to consult the documentation for your specific devices.
