SMLIGHT SLZB‑MR1U

SLZB-MR1U from SMLIGHT is an innovative LAN adapter for the modern smart home, supporting the latest standards (Zigbee 3.0, Thread, Z-Wave via USB). It’s the first truly modular coordinator with USB passthrough via Ethernet—ideal for demanding integrators and future expandability.

Key Features:

• Zigbee 3.0 (TI CC2652P), Thread Border Router (EFR32MG21) in one device

• USB passthrough over TCP/IP — add Z-Wave, Matter, BLE dongle, etc.

• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (ESP32) for flexible placement and connectivity

• Ethernet + PoE (Power over Ethernet) for stable network and power

• USB-C for alternative power

• Modular architecture — connect additional USB devices or a USB hub

• Full compatibility: Zigbee2MQTT, Home Assistant, OpenThread, Z-Wave JS (via USB stick)

Unique Benefits:

• The first LAN coordinator to offer true USB device support over the network (TCP tunneling)—use a Z-Wave stick without needing direct server USB

• External power via USB hub for higher power USB sticks/dongles

• Compatible with the most common USB-UART chips: CP210x, PL2303, CH340/341, CH9102

• Fast and simple setup with web interface, plug-and-play operation

Technical Specification:

• Radio chips: TI CC2652P7 (+20 dBm Zigbee/Thread), Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 (+20 dBm Thread/Zigbee)

• Supported protocols: Zigbee 3.0, Thread (Matter), Wi-Fi, Z-Wave, more USB protocols

• Connectivity: Ethernet with PoE (48V), USB-C, Wi-Fi, USB-A host port

• Firmware: SLZB-OS (VPN, OTA updates, multi-language interface, scripting)

• Antennas: 2x SMA (2 high-gain 2.4GHz antennas included), internal Wi-Fi/Bluetooth antenna

• Enclosure: compact ABS, DIN rail or wall mount (screws included), supports 3D printed holders

• LED indication: separate LEDs for each radio module (6 indicators total)

• Buttons: multifunction for mode switching, reset, etc.

• Power consumption: up to 1.5 W, do not power with PoE and USB-C at the same time (board protection)

Use Cases:

• Ideal for households and professional installations—expand Zigbee, create a Thread border router, add Z-Wave or custom USB modules via LAN

• Centralizes all radios into one device and location

Box content:

• SLZB-MR1U adapter

• 2x SMA antenna (2.4 GHz)

• Mounting kit (screws, screwdriver, ruler)

Compatibility and integration:

• Home Assistant (Zigbee2MQTT, ZHA, OpenThread, Z-Wave JS)

• Open-source, no unnecessary drivers or tricks

• Suitable for any server environment—server, NAS, mini PC, Raspberry Pi

Warning:

Do not power with PoE and USB-C at the same time—risk of device damage!
