Product detailed description

📡Easy Control and Smart Device Interconnection

The SLZB-06p7 is a platform-independent, extremely versatile, and highly reliable Zigbee adapter featuring unparalleled connectivity options through Ethernet, PoE, USB, and Wi-Fi. You can connect the device locally to your hub via its USB port, run it over a classic wired Ethernet (LAN) connection—where PoE even provides instant power through the same cable—or hook it up completely wirelessly over your home Wi-Fi network.

This device is specifically engineered to support Zigbee-based smart home systems, making it fully and natively compatible with the best open-source platforms like Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant ZHA.

To build a massive, widespread Zigbee network, multiple coordinators and routers can be deployed and connected to a single central server. This gives you enormous flexibility to expand your network size by placing additional SMlight adapters exactly where you need them.

A built-in signal amplifier operating at +20 dBm dramatically increases the connection stability and range of connected Zigbee devices (like temperature sensors, relays, and switches), especially over long distances or through physical barriers (walls, mirrors, etc.). The rotatable external 5 dBi SMA antenna provides a strong signal across a truly expansive area, making the adapter perfect for large homes and environments where dozens of devices need to be linked across different rooms.

The SLZB-06p7 supports both operating modes of the Zigbee 3.0 network: it can be configured to act as a main network coordinator or as a repeater router. The device mode can easily be changed by flashing the appropriate firmware through a beautiful, user-friendly web interface. This gives users maximum flexibility to switch functions based on their current network demands.

When configured as a router and after installing the OpenThread Border Router add-on, the adapter can also relay a Matter-over-Thread network (accessible via Ethernet connection). This novel feature allows communication between the Matter protocol and the Thread network, vastly improving and simplifying the integration of modern smart home devices.

P7 Version Hardware

The device utilizes the most advanced communication radio chip from Texas Instruments—the CC2652P7—which provides a stable, uninterrupted connection to simultaneously control an incredible 300 Zigbee devices. The module ships pre-flashed with coordinator firmware, making it ready to use straight out of the box.

The SLZB-06p7 adapter is a direct, more advanced upgrade of the older SLZB-06 model. The main difference lies in the chip used. The SLZB-06 uses the older CC2652P chip, whereas the new SLZB-06p7 is equipped with the more advanced CC2652P7 core, which boasts significantly more memory (152 KB Flash vs. 88 KB). This expanded capacity provides the SLZB-06p7 with much better performance, snappier network responses, and smoother operation when handling complex instructions with a large number of smart elements on the network.

The SLZB-06p7 is also the ideal choice for advanced smart home enthusiasts and professionals, as the board features accessible pin layouts for both the ESP32 and CC2652P7 chips. This enables users to perform various DIY modifications, such as direct hardware access to the chips for custom firmware installation or other hardware tweaks. The adapter thus offers unlimited flexibility for those who love to develop custom solutions.

Key Features and Specifications

• 🖥️ Chipset and Compatibility: The advanced CC2652P7 chip is highly stable and fully compatible with both Zigbee2MQTT systems and native Home Assistant ZHA integration.
• 🔌 Three Connectivity Options: Supports data transfer via USB, wired LAN Ethernet, and wireless Wi-Fi. The operating mode can be selected in the firmware (remotely via the web GUI) and locally by physically pressing a button on the casing.
• ⚡ Flexible Power Supply: The SLZB-06p7 can be powered in two ways: directly over a LAN cable thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet), or conventionally via a 5V DC Type-C USB connector.
• 🔋 PoE 802.3af Support: When using PoE, the adapter does not require a separate USB power brick; it draws power directly from a compatible network switch. This is especially useful when installing the adapter in a remote room, minimizing cable clutter.
• 🔄 Firmware and Updates: The module comes with the powerful SLZB-OS open-source firmware, which users can safely and regularly update remotely (OTA from the web) or via USB.
• 🛠️ Easy Installation: The coordinator operates in a Plug-and-Play mode and is ready to establish a Zigbee network straight out of the box.
• 📍 Mounting Options: For secure attachment to a wall or device, you can use the included double-sided adhesive tape, or fasten the rear bracket with screws to ensure the adapter stays firmly in place.
• 📡 Unrivaled Antenna Performance: Featuring an integrated signal amplifier boosting output to +20 dBm and a detachable 5 dBi antenna for massive coverage, you get astounding signal quality. It includes a 3D rotatable antenna joint allowing for optimal signal directing in any space.

We highly recommend this product to anyone (whether a beginner or an advanced user) looking to efficiently and highly reliably integrate dozens of Zigbee devices into a single powerful smart home system. The SMLIGHT SLZB-06p7 delivers top-tier local and remote management options and guarantees flawless, lightning-fast connectivity.
