SMLIGHT SLZB-06 - Zigbee 3.0 to Ethernet,USB,and WiFi Gateway Coordinator with PoE, Works with Zigbee2MQTT, Home Assistant, ZHA

I bought this for integrating Zigbee devices with my Home Assistant server and it has been great. Currently, it is running ~50 Zigbee devices without any issues. The worst lag I get is about 1s from a PIR sensor registering motion to the corresponding light turning on. There are plenty of hops along the way, so 1s is fairly quick and I cannot complain. Installation was easy and the range has been great. This is definitely one of the better options for the price point.

Easy to adopt and set up in Home Assistant with Z2M. Worked great with no lag- lights turn on instantly. Seems well build and the price was comparable with other hubs I looked at. Third Reality Smart Plugs, Lutron wall switch, Google Home and a bunch of other devices easily connected since it's compatible with any zigbee device. This was a good purchase for me.

I originally bought a ZBDongle-E to be my coordinator and it gave me nothing but issues despite upgrading and downgrading firmware. On top of that I could only get 2 devices before problems came up. Bought this instead and its been flawless. Easy to setup and got it up and running in short time.

Put this in as a Zigbee coordinator and it immediately stabilized my entire Zigbee network. With its LAN/PoE connection it’s easy to centrally locate. Very easy to setup and works perfectly with Home Assistant. This solved all my zigbee issues.

Pure garbage, save your money. Took forever to pair to home assistant due to wifi conflicts. have to remove antenna to get it to work. Then would not easily recognize simple zigbee devices. Maybe I got a bad one, but it just stinks. Sticking with zwave

I use one of these for both Zigbee and Thread. I'm not exactly happy with thread performance as I seem to have limited range. Needed several routers to add coverage. I tried to contact the vendor twice, but got not response, hence my 4 stars. These devices work great with Home Assistant. The Zigbee interface is Ethernet (POE), and the Thread is connected via passthru USB over proxmox powered by POE.

Pros: * POE makes positioning these a breeze. No more "dead zones." * Rock-solid in both Zigbee coordinator and router roles. * Role for Matter/Thread is currently in beta, which may offer a bit of future proofing Cons: * A bit pricey (purchased 3 at ~$65 each). * These are not "plug and play" like a USB coordinator, you need some IT/HA/Z2M experience to get them configured Locations: * The coordinator is located roughly in the center of the primary floor. * One router in the basement on one end of the house. * One router in the upstairs hallway on the opposite end of the house. Technology Environment: Home Assistant OS virtualized on Proxmox with ZigBee2MQTT integration. Experience: These devices are not for someone looking for an "it just works" Zigbee installation, however, the complexity gives you the power to build the foundation for an extremely strong mesh. Changing roles requires flashing between different firmwares, which if that is something you have never done before, may be a bit confusing though it is all possible from a WebUI hosted on the device itself accessible through LAN/WiFi. If you are already familiar with Z2M, especially if your current coordinator is already not direct-attached USB, getting these devices deployed and configured should be well within your reach. I completely re-built my mesh after installation and fortified even more with some router-capable devices like smart plugs. We now have coverage to practically every square foot of our home.

This is a great antenna for my Home Assistant system. I love that I could use POE and ethernet to connect it to my system and I haven't had any lag or issues with controlling the many Zigbee dimmers in my system.

Excellente intégration a home assistant, alimentation poe= un seul câble pour le réseau et l'alimentation, discret et efficace, si on possède le switch POE.

Viene con todo para la instalacion, tiene mucha cobertura, lo tengo en el centro del local, con una longitud de 50m y caza todos los dispositivos Zigbee.

Ja, man kann mit diesem Gerät supereinfach Zigbee-Geräte in Home Assistant sichtbar machen. Im gleichen Netz funktioniert die Autodiscovery, man installiert die vorgeschlagenen Integrationen und los geht's - sogar Firmware-Updates lassen sich von HA aus anstoßen. Funktioniert tadellos. Aber: das Ding kann auch zaubern. Es lässt sich ohne Weiteres so konfigurieren, dass es sich als Wireguard-VPN-Client in ein anderes Netz verbindet und von dort eine IP holt (wenn da ein Server steht, natürlich). Auf dieser Adresse ist es dann problemlos remote für Zigbee2MQTT erreichbar. Das Pairing von Zigbee2MQTT aus funktioniert flüssig und ohne Zicken. Es kann (was ich allerdings nicht probiert habe) auch DDNS. Unter dem Strich: das Teil ist auch voll als Coordinator in remote-Netzen tauglich. Hut ab!

Funcionó excelente con HA. Sin problemas para detectar todo tipo de dispositivos. Recomendado totalmente

Works great, however the installation and setup is confusing and there is a lack of decent instructions.
