Hi - can anyone advise whether it’s possible to use both types of dongle with a Pi running Mozilla Things? If so, any particular guides to get stuff installed, or just plug and play?

thanks

M

Yes, that’s perfectly possible. Just check the Zigbee and Z-Wave add-ons are installed (they should be installed by default) and plug them both in before booting ! Supported adapters are listed [here](https://github.com/mozilla-iot/wiki/wiki/Supported-Hardware).
