SLZB-06 Zigbee Ethernet, PoE, USB, Wi-Fi

SLZB-06 is platform-independent, universal Zigbee adapter with Ethernet, PoE, USB and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can connect the device locally via USB to the hub, via a wired Ethernet connection - with PoE and power - or via Wi-Fi to the local hub.

The device is specifically designed to support Zigbee smart home systems such as Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA.

For a larger Zigbee network, it is possible to use multiple coordinators on a single server, allowing the Zigbee network to be scaled up flexibly by adding more adapters.

The 20 dB signal amplifier significantly increases the stability and range of the Zigbee connection, especially over long distances or in the presence of physical obstacles. The 5 dB gain antenna provides a strong signal over a wide area, ideal for environments where multiple Zigbee devices are connected.

SLZB-06 supports both Zigbee 3.0 mode: it can act as Coordinator or router. The operating mode can be easily changed by installing the appropriate software via the web interface. This allows users to flexibly switch between coordinator and router functions according to the needs of the network.

SLZB-06 The coordinator can also act as a Matter-over-Thread router over an Ethernet connection, thanks to the latest upgrade of the OpenThread Border Router add-on. This feature allows communication between the Matter protocol and the Thread network, thus improving the integration of smart devices.

Hardware:

The device uses the CC2652P and ESP32 chipsets, which provide a stable and reliable connection for simultaneous management of up to 200 Zigbee devices. SLZB-06, most popular with users model, comes with the software pre-installed so it's ready to use right away.

The SLZB-06 Zigbee 3.0 SoC is based on the powerful CC2652P chip developed by Texas Instruments.

The SLZB-06 is also an ideal choice for DIY smart home enthusiasts as it includes the necessary pinout connectors for both ESP32 and CC2652P chips. This allows for various modifications such as direct access to the chips for upgrades or installation of customised software, offering maximum flexibility for users who want to develop their own solutions and customise the device's performance.

Key features:

• ChipsetA: The CC2652P chip is fully compatible with both Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant ZHA.
• ConnectivityUSB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi support. The operating mode can be selected via software (remotely via web interface) or locally at the touch of a button.
• Power supply: The SLZB-06 can be powered in two ways: via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or via the Type-C connector.
• PoE support: PoE provides power over an 802.3af Ethernet cable (PoE adapter not included, can be ordered separately). This is especially useful for remote installation or if you want fewer cables.
• Firmware support: The module has open-source software that users can update remotely (OTA - Over-the-Air) or via USB.
• Easy installation: The coordinator is plug-and-play and comes with pre-installed software.
• Installation: Self-adhesive strips on both sides or screws for a firm fixing are included, so you can position the device wherever it suits you best.
• Antenna: 20 dB signal amplifier + 5 dB antenna for extra range and excellent signal quality. The device has a three-dimensional rotatable antenna that allows optimal pointing for best signal quality. The rotatability ensures that the antenna is adapted to the environmental conditions, thus improving the stability and range of the connection between Zigbee devices.
