SLZB-06p10U Zigbee Adapter

SMLIGHT SLZB-06P10U Zigbee 3.0 Ethernet, PoE & Wi-Fi Adapter

The SMLIGHT SLZB-06P10U is a high-performance network-connected Zigbee coordinator and router built for smart home systems such as Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA. It uses the Texas Instruments CC2674P10 radio SoC with extended RAM and an ESP32-S3 core running SMLIGHT's SLZB-OS.

Unlike a conventional USB-only Zigbee dongle, the SLZB-06P10U can be positioned where your Zigbee network needs it rather than directly beside your home automation server. It supports Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB connectivity, with power supplied through IEEE 802.3af PoE or USB-C. The external rotatable +5 dB antenna and +20 dBm radio capability are designed to provide strong, reliable wireless coverage.

High-Capacity Zigbee Networking

The CC2674P10 is the latest Texas Instruments radio platform used in the SLZB-06P10U. SMLIGHT lists the model for Zigbee 3.0 and Thread 1.3, with extended RAM and support for up to 400 connected end devices in its current product documentation. Actual network capacity depends on device types, routing topology, coordinator configuration and the software platform used.

Flexible Network & Power Options

• Ethernet: 10/100 Mb wired networking through the WIZnet W5500.
• Wi-Fi: Wireless network connectivity through the ESP32-S3 platform.
• USB: USB connectivity and network USB passthrough support for compatible USB adapters.
• PoE: IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet for a clean single-cable installation.
• USB-C power: 5 V USB-C power is supported as an alternative to PoE.

Zigbee, Thread & Matter-over-Thread

The SLZB-06P10U supports Zigbee and can also be switched to Thread operation through its web interface. In Thread mode, it can operate as a Matter-over-Thread border router when configured with the appropriate firmware and software environment. The device is designed for flexible integration with modern local smart home platforms.

Important: Zigbee and Thread are selectable operating modes; this single-radio model is not intended to operate as two independent Zigbee and Thread radios simultaneously.

Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT & ZHA

The SLZB-06P10U works with popular local smart home software including Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA. Its Ethernet-based design allows the coordinator to be placed away from the main server, which can be useful when a better physical location is needed for Zigbee coverage.

SLZB-OS & Easy Firmware Management

The adapter ships with SMLIGHT's SLZB-OS and is pre-flashed for use out of the box. The web interface provides configuration, diagnostics and over-the-air firmware updates. SMLIGHT also supports one-click firmware changes for compatible operating modes and community firmware options.

USB Passthrough

The SLZB-06P10U includes network USB passthrough functionality. Compatible USB devices such as supported CP210x, CH340 or CH9102-based adapters can be connected to the SLZB-06P10U and exposed over the network.

Strong Wireless Hardware

The Zigbee/Thread radio uses the Texas Instruments CC2674P10 with +20 dBm capability and an external rotatable +5 dB antenna. The antenna can be positioned to help optimize wireless coverage. The device also includes an onboard Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna on the ESP32-S3 side.

Compact Installation

The SLZB-06P10U measures approximately 160 × 24 × 28 mm and weighs about 86 g. The package includes the adapter, external antenna, mounting hardware, hex wrench, QR-code manual card and ruler. Its compact enclosure makes it suitable for wall, furniture or other practical network locations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the SLZB-06P10U compatible with Home Assistant?

Yes. SMLIGHT lists Home Assistant compatibility, including integration through ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT.

Can I use the SLZB-06P10U with Zigbee2MQTT?

Yes. The SLZB-06P10U supports Zigbee coordinator operation with Zigbee2MQTT.

Does the SLZB-06P10U support ZHA?

Yes. The device is compatible with ZHA in Home Assistant.

Can the SLZB-06P10U use Ethernet instead of USB?

Yes. Ethernet is a primary connection method, allowing the coordinator to be installed away from the Home Assistant or other smart home server.

Can the SLZB-06P10U be powered by PoE?

Yes. It supports IEEE 802.3af PoE. USB-C 5 V power is also supported.

Does it support Matter?

The SLZB-06P10U supports Matter-over-Thread operation when configured as a Thread border router with the appropriate firmware and software environment.

Does it support Thread?

Yes. The CC2674P10 radio supports Thread 1.3, and SMLIGHT provides Thread operating modes for the SLZB-06P10U.

Can Zigbee and Thread run simultaneously on this device?

No. The SLZB-06P10U is a single-radio model, so Zigbee and Thread are selectable operating modes rather than two independent radios running at the same time.

How many Zigbee devices can it support?

SMLIGHT currently lists up to 400 connected end devices for the CC2674P10-based SLZB-06P10U. Real-world network capacity varies with device types, routing, software and network design.

Can I update the firmware remotely?

Yes. SMLIGHT provides web-based and over-the-air firmware update functions through SLZB-OS.
