🧩 Expand your Home Assistant with Zigbee and Matter using the ZBT-1

Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 (formerly known as SkyConnect) is a physical USB radio adapter designed by the creators of Home Assistant. It enables seamless local connection for Zigbee and Thread devices (including Matter over Thread support). Perfect for systems running on a Raspberry Pi, Mini PC, or the official Home Assistant Green hub.

Concurrent Multi-Protocol Operation

The hardware is powered by the high-performance Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 SoC (the same chip used in the Sonoff ZBDongle-E). The device can run Zigbee 3.0 and Thread simultaneously using firmware in RCP (Radio Co-Processor) mode. The product supports Over-The-Wire (OTW) firmware updates directly via USB, ensuring easy and secure future-proofing.
