Zigbee Devices and a Sonoff Dongle

[thusband]

I just discovered Hubitat and am looking to switch from Home Assistant. I have a few Zigbee devices connected to HA via a Sonoff Dongle. Would the dongle just plug into the Hubitat hub? Is there a USB port on the hub? I can't make out the connections shown in the photos.

Now I have HA in a Proxmox VM but it's been giving me problems for some time now so I'm looking for something a bit simpler.

No, you can only use the radios built in to the hub (ignoring some early models, but that particular coordinator is unlikely to work then, either). Migration would be a manual process.

Right. So I won't need my antenna?

Thanks.

If it's this dongle, you can flash it and use it as a Zigbee router on Hubitat.

How to: Flash SonOff USB Dongle to be a Zigbee Repeater/Router & Set Transmit Power

I wanted to flash a SonOff USB Zigbee dongle to use it as a repeater (SonOff refers to this as flashing it to be a "router") on HE. These things are great Zigbee repeaters! After flashing them just plug them into any USB power supply that provides at least 0.5A at 5V. Most phone chargers will work fine.

I don't want to make it more complicated than it needs to be. I'll only have two, maybe three, devices so if I can just use the hub without the antenna I'd be better off.
