## 1. Flash Tasmota ZBBridge
In order for the gateway to be usefull for us we want it flashed with custom firmware ([tasmota-zbbridge](https://tasmota.github.io/docs/Zigbee/)) so we can free ourselves from the cloud.
For flashing procedure follow [DigiBlurs guide](https://www.digiblur.com/2020/07/how-to-use-sonoff-zigbee-bridge-with.html) up untill step 6.

**Do not underestimate this!** Placing your adapter close to an USB port can kill the radio signal entirely as demonstrated in [this article](https://www.unit3compliance.co.uk/2-4ghz-intra-system-or-self-platform-interference-demonstration/).

Aditionally, it may help to plug the adapter to a USB 2 instead of USB 3 port.

### Try different orientations of the adapter
RF connection between the adapter and other devices also depends on the way it is oriented in space. You might be having very poor `linkquality` reports and intermittent ping failures but once the adapter is rotated a little it all can change greatly without re-locating the coordinator far away. Try to experiment with positioning and orienting the adapter in space while monitoring the `linkquality` values reported. You might find it useful to buy a small rotating USB connector like this:

## Hardware
Although Zigbee2MQTT does not require many resources, the hardware you are running Zigbee2MQTT on can impact the performance. This is especially true when using low-power hardware like the Raspbery Pi 3. Make sure that enough resources (CPU/memory) is free. For example, running Home Assistant + Zigbee2MQTT Home Assistant addon on the Raspberry Pi 3 may give bad performance.
