This all-in-one multi-radio coordinator is specially designed for demanding home automation installations that require maximum stability. With two powerful Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 chips on board, this station runs a Zigbee 3.0 network and a Matter-over-Thread network simultaneously. This allows you to seamlessly connect all your smart \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/sensoren\" title=\"View all sensors at slimhuisje.nl\"\u003esensors\u003c\/a\u003e and actuators to your central server, regardless of where your Home Assistant hardware is located in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHomogeneous Dual Radio Architecture: 2x Silicon Labs EFR32MG24\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike traditional network dongles, the SLZB-MR5U contains two separate, identical Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 radio SoCs. Both chips feature +20 dBm transmit power, 256 KB RAM, 1024 KB Flash, and a hardware-based AI\/ML accelerator. This allows you to assign one radio chip as a dedicated Zigbee 3.0 coordinator and the other as a full-fledged Thread Border Router (OTBR). This separate hardware architecture guarantees that both networks perform simultaneously at maximum capacity without mutual interference or bandwidth loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFlexible Connectivity: Ethernet with PoE, Wi-Fi, and USB-C\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the SLZB-MR5U, you can choose the ideal physical location in your home for optimal wireless range. The coordinator supports power supply via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (48V PoE), a standard LAN cable, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, or a USB-C data cable. The advanced SLZB-OS operating system offers a comprehensive web interface with OTA firmware updates, WireGuard VPN, support for 20+ languages, and the option to switch to ESPHome. With a power consumption of just 1.5W at maximum load, this is the most efficient multi-radio solution available today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEcosystems \u0026amp; Compatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eHome Assistant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fully supported via native Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) with the SL Ember\/EZSP stack.

One chip works purely as a Zigbee 3.0 coordinator (via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT) and the other chip as a dedicated Matter-over-Thread Border Router. Both wireless networks thus run at full speed without delay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I connect the SLZB-MR5U to Home Assistant?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe coordinator communicates via the network (IP socket) or USB-C. Once the SLZB-MR5U is connected to your network, you read the IP address via the SLZB-OS dashboard. You then connect this with one line to Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA via the EZSP\/SL Ember stack, and to the Matter\/Thread integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need Power over Ethernet (PoE) to use the coordinator?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, PoE is optional. If you do not use a PoE switch, you can easily power the device via a standard USB-C cable (5V DC), while the data traffic runs via Wi-Fi or a regular Ethernet cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I also flash the SLZB-MR5U with ESPHome?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! Because the system is powered by an ESP32-S3 microchip and the built-in SLZB-OS features a built-in flasher, you can easily switch to ESPHome if that is your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the SLZB-MR5U work as a standalone hub or do I need a smart home platform?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SLZB-MR5U functions as a coordinator and network interface. To execute automation rules and control devices, you connect the adapter to an overarching platform such as Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅ \u003cstrong\u003eslimhuisje.nl\u003c\/strong\u003e | The specialist in smart network coordinators and sleek home automation solutions!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SMLIGHT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55960414585174,"sku":"SLZB-MR5U","price":77.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/5921\/3398\/files\/5184s1A_PgL._AC_SL1024.jpg?v=1792677952","url":"https:\/\/slimhuisje.nl\/en\/products\/smlight-slzb-mr5u","provider":"slimhuisje.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
