The adapter features an external, freely positionable antenna (24 mm diameter, 164 mm high) with optimal tuning for 2.4 GHz signals, including a ground plane in the base for extra range. Thanks to the 1.5 meter long USB-C to USB-A cable, you can easily place the adapter in a central location, away from sources of interference such as metal server cabinets, USB 3.0 ports, or aquariums. Zigbee 3.0 (the standard for smart devices) and Thread (modern mesh technology for Matter devices) are fully supported, albeit one protocol at a time. The adapter works out of the box with Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA), Zigbee2MQTT, and OpenThread Border Router.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Connectivity and protocols\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Connect ZBT-2 uses the Silicon Labs MG24 chip for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread, with a baud rate of 460,800 bps (4× faster than its predecessor) for noticeably more responsive switching. The ESP32-S3 functions as a USB-serial bridge (USB 2.0 full-speed), allowing for future expansion. It operates from 2400–2483.5 MHz with a transmit power of 10 dBm (Europe) or 8 dBm (rest of the world). The omnidirectional antenna has a peak gain of 4.16 dBi for a wide coverage pattern.

Any Zigbee-certified device or Matter-certified device via Thread should work out of the box. Home Assistant supports one of the broadest Zigbee compatibility lists in the world, including Over-the-Air (OTA) firmware updates for major brands like Philips Hue, IKEA, Aqara, THIRDREALITY, etc. To migrate from an existing Zigbee or Thread network, Home Assistant provides improved tools to let you switch in just a few clicks, even from the CONZ or Zigbee2MQTT.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Nutrition and energy\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The Connect ZBT-2 is powered via USB-C (5 V DC, 500 mA) and requires no external power supply.

In practice, you'll especially notice the difference when controlling multiple devices simultaneously, as the quadrupled communication speed minimizes delays. The larger external antenna improves both transmission to distant devices and reception of weak signals. The adapter supports all Zigbee and Thread regions and 2.4 GHz channels worldwide. Firmware updates are automatic during initial setup and subsequently via Home Assistant, without any additional tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Software and updates\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe Connect ZBT-2 receives firmware updates directly through Home Assistant, so you always benefit from the latest Zigbee 3.0 and Thread improvements. The Home Assistant team is actively testing Zigbee 4.0 support for future releases. For Zigbee2MQTT, you may need to flash a different firmware (EMBER instead of EZSP). The firmware is updated automatically during initial setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Physical and installation\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The adapter measures 83 × 83 × 179 mm (base + antenna) and is made of durable white polycarbonate plastic with semi-transparent accents. Unlike the ZBT-1, this version opens easily without clips or adhesive, leaving exposed pins and pads for tinkerers. The external antenna and base allow you to stand the adapter freely, ideal for avoiding interference from metal cabinets or USB 3.0 ports. The antenna should be mounted vertically for optimal operation; the status LED will flash rapidly if not optimally oriented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch4\u003eEnvironment and sustainability\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e The Connect ZBT-2 is designed for indoor use in temperatures ranging from 0°C to 65°C (antenna: -40°C to +85°C).

Your devices won't turn on four times faster, but you'll notice a clear difference in group actions. The MG24 chip has higher processing power and better reception of weak signals, which increases mesh stability.

You need at least a USB 2.0 port and Home Assistant version 2025.10.1 or later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e Can I use Zigbee and Thread at the same time?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e No, the Connect ZBT-2 supports only one protocol at a time. For simultaneous use, you'll need two adapters (e.g., one for Zigbee, one for Thread).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e How do I switch from my old Zigbee stick?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Home Assistant offers migration tools that allow you to migrate an existing network in just a few clicks, including from CONZ or Zigbee 2MQTT. The adapter automatically resets during the migration process. A manual reset feature will be added in a future update.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e Does the adapter support Matter devices?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eYes, you can connect Matter-certified devices via Thread. For Matter over Wi-Fi, you don't need an additional adapter. Note: Thread and Matter are not the same; Thread is the network protocol that Matter runs on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e What do the different LED colors mean?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e A pulsating LED indicates the adapter is waiting for a connection to ZHA or Thread. No light indicates the adapter is properly connected. Rapid flashing indicates the antenna is not mounted vertically; position the antenna upright with the LED facing up or down (for ceiling mounting).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e What data does the adapter store?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e When used as a Zigbee adapter, the ZBT-2 stores your Zigbee network information, including the private Zigbee network key. When used as a Thread adapter, all network information is stored on Home Assistant itself, not on the adapter. Other user data is not stored. Home Assistant automatically creates backups every time the ZHA starts and every 24 hours thereafter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e How many devices can I connect?\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe MG24 chip supports 32 direct connections (end devices) by default.
