    I realize this is an older post, but I've been using your Tasmota fork with my MJ Dimmer. I don't see that the newer versions of Tasmota added support for it, unless it is named differently. I see you update yours from time to time...

How to use the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge with Home Assistant

Image
UPDATE 2020/08/09: As of HomeAssistant 0.113 you can now use the latest Zigbee OTA file.  
I reviewed the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge a few months ago in a video and was excited to see it had an ESP82xx chipset onboard.  This meant there was a glimmer of hope it could be flashed with open source local control firmware such as Tasmota!  That time has come!  The genius developers with Tasmota have done their magic again.  An inexpensive device you can add to Home Assistant as a Zigbee controller.  No YAML, no custom plugins, no MQTT.  One of the major advantages is being able to place it closer to your Zigbee devices which is especially helpful if you have your Home Assistant box in the basement or buried back in some closet.  Behold the ZHA Integration below.
Purchase Sonoff Zigbee Bridge from Banggood or iTead
