SMLIGHT - SLZB-MR1U USB Ethernet POE Zigbee adapter
The SMLIGHT SLZB-MR1U adapter is an innovative, modular solution designed for home automation enthusiasts and professional integrators. Based on the proven architecture of the SLZB-MR1, this model goes even further by integrating a unique USB passthrough over Ethernet function, enabling you to connect and control your USB keys (Z-Wave, Matter, BLE, RF, etc.) directly through your network. By combining Zigbee 3.0, Thread (Matter-over-Thread), and the ability to extend your protocols via USB dongles, the SLZB-MR1U becomes the first 100% modular coordinator on the market.
With its Texas Instruments CC2652P7 and Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 chipsets, powerful antennas, Ethernet connectivity with PoE and USB-C support, it offers power, stability and flexibility. It comes pre-flashed and ready to use, and is compatible with Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA (Home Assistant), OpenThread and Z-Wave JS (via USB dongle). Compact and easy to install, it's ideal for building a complete, scalable home automation ecosystem.
Functions of the SLZB-MR1U adapter :
- Advanced multi-radio: native Zigbee 3.0 and Thread (Matter-over-Thread) support.
- USB passthrough via Ethernet: connect your USB dongles (Z-Wave, BLE, RF, Matter...) and access them on your network as if they were plugged in locally.
- Total modularity: several protocols can be added via USB hub.
- Compatibility: Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA (Home Assistant), OpenThread, Z-Wave JS and more.
- Plug-and-play: delivered pre-flashed with SLZB-OS (VPN, OTA, scripts, dashboard, multilingual, security).
- Multiple connectivity: Ethernet (LAN + PoE), integrated Wi-Fi, USB-C for data and power.
- High-performance external antennas: SMA port + antennas included, extended coverage.
- Simple interface: status LEDs, multifunction button, OTA updates.
- Flexible installation: compact ABS case, wall, DIN rail, adhesive or screw mounting.
