It worked similarly for me but with iHost to nspp. It works locally but it is questionable whether it will work because it stopped working for some people after a certain update.

I have tried to add it manually, but I have only found the possibility of doing it through Labs \> Turbo. It doesn’t detect it and then I try to configure it with the /dev/ttyACM0 and /dev/tty/USB0 ports.  
In protocol stack I have tried ezsp and deconz. In baud rate with 115200 and in flow control I have selected hardware.  
With none of the configurations I have been able to detect it.  
Impossible through the Settings menu because I don’t get any possible option to configure Zigbee.

I am sorry to say that you can’t add ZBBridge-P to eWeLink CUBE OS directly. ZBBridge-P is designed to connect to eWeLink cloud. However, you can add ZBBridge-P to CUBE OS indirectly by using eWeLink Smart Home Add-on which can be installed through CUBE OS’ Docker function.

then it would be better/nice to use a router/dongle instead of the ZBBridge-P being a more direct way for communication. SO I have a second-hand ZBBridge-P, somebody interested 😉
