SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10U Multi-Protocol Adapter | Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 800 & Thread

SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10U | Ethernet PoE & USB Multi-Protocol Coordinator (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread)

Get the most out of your smart home with the SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10U. This highly advanced multi-radio network adapter combines Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 800, Thread/Matter, and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth in one powerful module. Whether you're looking for a universal Zigbee coordinator or a reliable Z-Wave controller via Ethernet or USB-C: the SLZB-MRW10U processes all protocols effortlessly and locally on your network.

Multi-Radio Chipsets: Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 800 & Thread/Matter

Under the hood of the SLZB-MRW10U lies an impressive array of hardware. The Texas Instruments CC2674P10 chip (+20 dBm PA) provides a rock-solid Zigbee 3.0 and Thread/Matter connection, while the Silicon Labs EFR32ZG23 chip guarantees lightning-fast Z-Wave 800 communication with Long Range support. An ESP32 chip controls the whole system via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, and the integrated SLZB-OS dashboard system for easy management via your browser.

Flexible Power and Connection: Ethernet with PoE & USB-C

Thanks to support for Power over Ethernet (PoE 48V) and USB-C, you are not tied to a spot directly next to your server. Place the adapter in the most optimal, central location in your home – such as in the meter cupboard or on the top floor – by simply connecting one network cable with PoE. With the included external SMA antennas (2.4 GHz and 900 MHz), you enjoy unparalleled coverage throughout the entire building.

Ecosystems & Compatibility

• Home Assistant: Full local integration via network or USB with Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation), Z-Wave JS, and OpenThread Border Router. This makes the adapter the ultimate hardware choice within a Home Assistant environment.
• Homey Pro: Not directly connectable hardware-wise via USB/Ethernet to Homey Pro's internal engine. However, devices connected via Home Assistant can be forwarded to Homey within a hybrid smart home setup.
• SmartThings: Cannot be directly connected as an expansion module to a SmartThings Hub. Sensors and devices linked to the SLZB-MRW10U can be made visible within SmartThings via overarching Matter or Home Assistant integrations.
• Tuya / Smart Life: No direct connection to the Tuya Cloud app. However, almost all Tuya Zigbee devices can be linked directly locally to this coordinator via Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, without dependence on Tuya servers.

Pro-Tip from slimhuisje.nl: Power the SLZB-MRW10U via PoE over Ethernet and place the adapter centrally in your home. By keeping the coordinator away from interference sources such as heavy USB 3.0 ports or Wi-Fi routers, you elevate the stability of your Zigbee and Z-Wave mesh networks to an unprecedented level!

Functionalities & Physical Actions

• Support for Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 800 (Long Range), Thread, Matter, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth LE.
• Flexible communication via Ethernet (with 48V PoE) or USB-C data and power cable.
• Integrated SLZB-OS web interface with dashboard, OTA firmware updates, network settings, and VPN management.
• Dual external SMA antennas (2.4 GHz and 900 MHz) included for optimal transmission range.
• Equipped with 6 status LEDs (system, network, and radio SoCs) and a multi-function button for resets and mode selection.
• Versatile mounting options: suitable for wall mounting, DIN-rail mounting, or adhesive mounting.

Package Contents and Dimensions

Please note: This coordinator requires a suitable smart home platform (such as Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT / ZHA / Z-Wave JS) to control your devices. For power via Ethernet, a PoE switch or PoE injector is required (otherwise power via 5V USB-C).

Technical specifications

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. What is the SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10U and what makes it unique?

The SMLIGHT SLZB-MRW10U is a universal network adapter that combines multiple protocols such as Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 800, Thread, and Matter. Its uniqueness lies in the ability to power the adapter and provide data via Ethernet with PoE, allowing you to place it anywhere in your home for optimal range.

2. Which software and integrations does this adapter support?

The adapter works excellently with Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation), Z-Wave JS, and OpenThread Border Router. The device itself is managed via the integrated SLZB-OS web interface in your browser.

3. How is the SLZB-MRW10U powered?

You can power the device via Power over Ethernet (PoE 48V) over the RJ45 network cable or via a standard 5V USB-C cable. No batteries are required for the adapter's operation.

4. Can I directly connect the SLZB-MRW10U with Homey Pro or SmartThings?

No, smart platforms like Homey Pro or SmartThings do not support direct hardware-level connection of external multi-radio network adapters. The adapter is primarily used on a Home Assistant host or its own server, after which connected devices can optionally be forwarded.

5. Do I need to update the firmware of the radios separately?

The integrated SLZB-OS web interface makes updating the firmware for both the ESP32 system and the TI and Silicon Labs radio networks very easy and clear via over-the-air (OTA) updates.
