Product detailed description

✅ A Reliable Gateway for Your Smart Home: SMLIGHT SLZB-MR1

The SLZB-MR1 is a universal, platform-independent Zigbee and Thread adapter that offers incredible connectivity flexibility via Ethernet, PoE, USB, and Wi-Fi. You can connect the device locally to your control hub via USB, use a wired Ethernet connection—which can even power the device directly through PoE (Power over Ethernet)—or connect it completely wirelessly via Wi-Fi. The SLZB-MR1 is SMlight's latest and most powerful gateway featuring a multi-protocol architecture, allowing simultaneous operation of both Zigbee and Thread networks using two distinct radio chips. This makes it an ideal, future-proof solution for Home Assistant, Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, or any systems based on Matter technology.
