Overview

SMLIGHT SLZB-06U is a Zigbee 3.0 Ethernet coordinator designed for Home Assistant, ZHA, and Zigbee2MQTT, providing a stable and flexible alternative to traditional USB Zigbee adapters. By connecting over Ethernet rather than USB, the coordinator can be placed anywhere on your network for optimal Zigbee coverage.

The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing both power and data over a single cable for clean, professional installations. Because it operates as an independent network device, it remains online even when your Home Assistant host restarts, making it ideal for servers, rack-mounted systems, virtual machines, and larger smart home deployments.

  • Ethernet-based Zigbee 3.0 coordinator
  • Compatible with Home Assistant, ZHA, and Zigbee2MQTT
