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. Note: You can use either Zigbee or Thread; running them simultaneously is not recommended due to interference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Platform compatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThis adapter is designed for Home Assistant and works seamlessly with ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation), Zigbee2MQTT, and OpenThread Border Router. 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. The 1.5-meter USB cable provides ample space for centrally positioning the adapter without the need for additional extension cords. The device weighs 157 grams and includes a USB-C to USB-A cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Functional properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe MG24 chip offers higher processing power and improved sensitivity to weak signals than the MG21 in the Connect ZBT-1. 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). Place the adapter in a dry, dust-free location and avoid direct sunlight or heat sources to prevent overheating. Use only in non-condensing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Performance and latency\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Thanks to the 460,800 bps baud rate (versus 115,200 bps with the ZBT-1), the network responds faster to commands. 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.

That computer is located in the meter cupboard or a corner of the house, far from the Zigbee devices you want to control. Result: poor coverage, devices dropping out, or a long extension cord stretched across the room to get the dongle to a better spot. And if your server restarts, the dongle is also temporarily unavailable, interrupting automations. A USB dongle works fine in a small apartment or on a desk, but for serious Home Assistant users with devices throughout the house, it's a structural bottleneck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SMLIGHT SLZB-06MG24 fundamentally solves this. This is not a USB stick but a full-fledged network Zigbee coordinator: it connects to your network via Ethernet, WiFi, or USB and communicates wirelessly with all your Zigbee devices from there. You can mount it on the wall in the meter cupboard or place it in the middle of the house on a PoE switch. Home Assistant communicates with it over the network as if it were a local USB dongle. Optimize its position for maximum Zigbee coverage, without compromising your server's position.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEFR32MG24: the most powerful Zigbee chip currently available\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe heart of the SLZB-06MG24 is the EFR32MG24 chip from Silicon Labs. This is the successor to the widely used CC2652P and features more processing power, more memory, and better support for future protocols, including Matter-over-Thread. The chip supports both Zigbee Coordinator mode and Router mode (for use as a Zigbee Repeater), switchable via the web interface without manual intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e+20dB amplifier and +5dB external antenna\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe built-in amplifier boosts the Zigbee signal by +20dB, while the included external SMA antenna adds another +5dB. The antenna is rotatable in three directions, allowing you to always position it optimally. This combined signal range makes the SLZB-06MG24 suitable for larger homes, devices behind concrete walls, sheds, and garages.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThree connection modes, one device\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter works via Ethernet (including PoE), WiFi, or USB, switchable via the web interface or by simply pressing the physical button. PoE according to the IEEE 802.3af standard means you don't need a separate power cable if you connect it to a PoE switch or injector. Both chips (EFR32MG24 and ESP32) can be fully updated remotely via OTA, without physical access to the device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStable and secure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe USB and Ethernet connections are isolated by an opto-isolator, allowing you to connect RJ45 and USB-C simultaneously without risk of interference or damage. The web interface is secured with a username and password and includes an internal whitelist firewall. The ESP32 supports autoboot flashing via USB-C without additional tools or button-press combinations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🏠 Home Assistant integration\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SMLIGHT SLZB-06MG24 works out-of-the-box with Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA. It comes with pre-flashed Zigbee and ESP32 firmware and is ready for immediate use after connecting to the network. Home Assistant automatically detects the adapter. Through the official SMLIGHT integration in Home Assistant, you can manage the adapter, view its status, and perform firmware updates from the HA dashboard. You can link multiple SLZB-06MG24 coordinators in parallel to a single Home Assistant instance by running a separate Zigbee2MQTT instance for each coordinator. Handy for large homes or multiple buildings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e🔧 Practical automation example\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eImagine: you have Zigbee devices in the living room, bedrooms, and a shed. With one centrally located SLZB-06MG24, connected to a PoE switch in the meter cupboard, you can cover the entire property thanks to its powerful antenna and amplifier. Home Assistant communicates with the adapter via the local network. Your Zigbee mesh automatically extends further via the router devices in your network. No more signal problems in the corners of the house, no more dropping smart contacts or sensors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e📦 Installation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnect the SLZB-06MG24 via Ethernet (with or without PoE) or USB-C. Open the web interface via the local IP address. Set the desired connection mode (LAN, WiFi, or USB) and add the adapter in Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA within Home Assistant. The adapter is pre-flashed, so no manual firmware installation is required.

The SLZB-06U (with U) has an extra USB port that allows you to make a second USB dongle available over the network, e.g., a Z-Wave adapter. The SLZB-06 (without U) does not have this port. Both models use the same CC2652P chip and have identical connection options.

The SLZB-MR1U (with U) has an extra USB port for a third dongle over the network. The SLZB-MR1 (without U) does not have this port. Both models have two independent radios (CC2652P and EFR32MG21) and identical connectivity options. Check the model number carefully before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use Zigbee and Thread simultaneously on the SLZB-MR1U?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The CC2652P and EFR32MG21 are two completely independent radios in the same housing. In Home Assistant, you can run Zigbee2MQTT (or ZHA) for Zigbee and the OpenThread Border Router add-on for Thread\/Matter in parallel, without one radio affecting the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo I need an Ethernet cable to use the SLZB-MR1U?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNot for daily use: the adapter also works via Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz) or USB. An Ethernet cable is useful for initial setup to access the SLZB-OS web interface and enter any Wi-Fi settings. Ethernet remains the recommended connection method for maximum stability, especially with two active radios at 2.4 GHz.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I perform firmware updates for both radios?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUpdates for the ESP32 core, the CC2652P Zigbee radio, and the EFR32MG21 Thread radio can all be performed via the built-in SLZB-OS web interface with one click per radio, without removing the adapter. Home Assistant users can also perform updates directly via the official SMLIGHT SLZB integration in the HA dashboard.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the SLZB-MR1U as a Thread Border Router for Matter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, the EFR32MG21 radio runs as a Thread OTBR by default. Install the OpenThread Border Router add-on in Home Assistant and select the SLZB-MR1U as the network border router. Matter devices can then be paired directly via the Matter integration in HA, while the CC2652P simultaneously manages your entire Zigbee network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SLZB-MR1U work with Homey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo, the SLZB-MR1U is an external multi-radio coordinator for platforms such as Home Assistant, ioBroker, and openHAB. \u003ca title=\"Homey products slimhuisje.nl\" href=\"\/en\/collections\/homey\"\u003eHomey\u003c\/a\u003e has its own built-in Zigbee radio and does not work with external coordinators.

With PoE power, the USB port of the SLZB-MR1U also supplies power to the connected USB dongle. A separate power source for the dongle is not required. The USB passthrough works with common USB-to-UART chips: CP210x, CH340, and CH9102.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e✅ slimhuisje.nl — Directly available and pre-flashed ready for use.
