Built for Smarter Local Automation
A basic smart-home hub can leave you dependent on a specific ecosystem or separate hardware for different automation functions.
The SMHUB NanoMg24 takes a different approach. It combines a Linux operating system, wireless connectivity and local smart-home applications in one compact device, giving you a flexible foundation for building your automation system.
Run supported services locally, connect compatible Zigbee and Thread devices, create automations with Node-RED, manage MQTT communication and bridge supported Zigbee devices into Matter ecosystems—all from one compact hub.
Whether you're building a Home Assistant smart home, experimenting with local automation, integrating multiple protocols or developing a more advanced installation, the NanoMg24 gives you a practical platform without requiring a separate computer for every function.
Why Choose the SMHUB NanoMg24?
Choosing a smart home hub is about more than simply connecting devices. The software environment, connectivity, flexibility and ability to expand your system all matter.
SMHUB NanoMg24 combines:
Linux-based operating system for running supported applications locally
Integrated EFR32MG24 radio for Zigbee and Thread applications
Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto, Matterbridge and Node-RED for flexible local automation
Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet and Bluetooth 5.0 for versatile connectivity
USB and microSD expansion for additional flexibility
Passive fanless cooling for quiet, continuous operation
Everything is designed around a simple goal: give you more control over how your local smart home automation system works.

The Difference You Notice Immediately
Run Smart Home Software Locally
The NanoMg24 runs supported applications directly on its Linux-based system, including Zigbee2MQTT, Mosquitto MQTT, Matterbridge and Node-RED. This gives you a local platform for managing devices and automation services.
Connect Zigbee & Thread Devices
Its integrated EFR32MG24 radio supports Zigbee and Thread applications, giving your smart-home system built-in wireless protocol capability without requiring a separate radio for these functions.
Build Flexible Automations
With Node-RED running locally, you can create automation flows that respond to supported Zigbee, MQTT, timer and other local events.
Bridge Zigbee to Matter
Matterbridge can run directly on the NanoMg24 and expose supported Zigbee devices to Matter ecosystems such as Google Home, Apple Home and Alexa.
Keep Your Setup Compact
The NanoMg24 combines computing, networking and wireless capabilities inside a compact enclosure with silent, fanless cooling, helping keep your installation clean and quiet.
