SMLIGHT SLZB-06MU

Important Note: USB Passthrough Update

The SLZB-06MU represents an enhanced version of the SLZB-06M, featuring upgraded hardware with improved RAM capacity. While all core Zigbee coordination features and specifications remain identical, the SLZB-06MU introduces USB passthrough functionality—a powerful addition for users requiring multiprotocol smart home setups.

USB Passthrough Capability: The SLZB-06MU includes a dedicated USB host port that enables network-based connectivity for external USB devices. Rather than requiring a direct USB connection to your smart home server, you can now connect Z-Wave dongles, BLE modules, or other USB-based protocol adapters directly to the SLZB-06MU. These devices are then accessible over your local network via TCP/IP, allowing them to communicate with software like Z-Wave JS UI running on your server or virtual machine—even if they are physically located elsewhere.

Key Advantages:

• Remote Device Placement: Position your Z-Wave or other USB protocol coordinators away from your server without dedicated USB cabling or port limitations

• Network Flexibility: Access USB devices over Ethernet, eliminating single-location server constraints

• Multiprotocol Support: Run Zigbee on the SLZB-06MU while simultaneously connecting a Z-Wave stick or other protocol adapters via USB passthrough

• Cleaner Infrastructure: One central LAN-connected hub manages both Zigbee coordination and network access to secondary protocol devices

• Scalability: Easily expand your smart home topology across multiple rooms or floors by leveraging network connectivity

Compatible Devices: Tested and working with Z-Wave dongles (e.g., ZWA-2) and compatible with other standard USB serial devices. Configuration is straightforward through the web interface with simple port forwarding setup.
