SLZB-06MU Zigbee Ethernet, PoE, USB, Wi-Fi adapter (router and coordinator), EFR32MG21

The SLZB-06MU is a platform-independent, universal Zigbee adapter with Ethernet, PoE, USB and Wi-Fi connectivity. You can connect the device locally via USB to the hub, via a wired Ethernet connection - with PoE even providing power - or via Wi-Fi to the local hub.

The device is specifically designed to support Zigbee-based smart home systems such as Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA.

For a larger Zigbee network, multiple coordinators can be used with a single server, giving the flexibility to increase the size of the Zigbee network by installing more adapters.

The 20 dB signal amplifier significantly increases the stability and range of the connection of Zigbee devices, especially over long distances or physical obstacles. And the 5 dB antenna provides a strong signal over a wide area, making it ideal for environments where multiple Zigbee devices need to connect.

The SLZB-06MU device supports both Zigbee 3.0 modes: it can act as a coordinator or a router. The device mode can be easily changed by installing the appropriate firmware via the web interface. This gives users the flexibility to switch between coordinator and router functions according to their network needs.

The SLZB-06MU coordinator is able to operate as a Matter-over-Thread router over an Ethernet connection, thanks to the latest update of the OpenThread Border Router add-on. The new feature enables communication between the Matter protocol and the Thread network, enhancing the integration of smart home devices.

Hardware:

The device uses an EFR32MG21 and ESP32 chip, providing a stable, reliable connection for simultaneous control of up to 200+ Zigbee devices. The module comes with pre-installed firmware, so it's ready to use.

The SLZB-06MU adapter is an advanced version of the SLZB-06 and uses the Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 chip, which provides more stable operation, especially for ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) systems. This chip provides improved Link Quality Indicator(LQI) compared to the CC2652P chip, which is particularly useful in larger networks where signal stability is a critical issue. The SLZB-06MU version is a more future-proof solution than the base model in terms of smartthon integrations.

The EFR32MG21 provides higher reliability and a more stable connection, making it ideal for users who integrate multiple Zigbee devices into a single system and for whom network stability is of paramount importance.

The SLZB-06MU is also an ideal choice for DIY smart home enthusiasts as it includes the necessary pinouts for both ESP32 and EFR32MG21 chips. This allows users to make various modifications, such as direct access to the chips for upgrading or installing custom firmware. The tool thus provides maximum flexibility for those who like to develop their own solutions and customise the operation of the device.

Key features:

• Chipset: The EFR32MG21 chip is fully compatible with both Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant ZHA systems.
• Connectivity: USB, Ethernet and WiFi support. Mode can be selected in firmware (remotely via web interface) and locally by physical button press.
• Power supply: the SLZB-06MU can be powered in two ways: via PoE (Power over Ethernet) or via a Type-C connector.
• PoE (Power over Ethernet) support. PoE does not require the use of a separate power supply, as the device is powered via the Ethernet cable according to the 802.3af standard (PoE adapter is not included, it can be ordered separately). This can be particularly useful if the device is located remotely or if you want to use less cabling.
• Firmware support: The module comes with open source firmware that users can update remotely (OTA - Over-the-Air update) or it can be updated via USB.
• Easy installation: The coordinator is plug-and-play and comes with pre-installed firmware on arrival.
• Installation. You can use the double-sided adhesive tape included in the package or the screws for a secure attachment, so the device can be placed wherever best suits your needs.
• Antenna performance: 20 dB signal amplifier + 5 dB antenna for extra coverage and excellent signal quality. Features a three-dimensional rotatable antenna that allows you to position the antenna in the optimal position for the best signal quality. The rotatability ensures that the antenna is best suited to environmental conditions, improving the stability and range of communications between Zigbee devices.

The package includes:

1. SLZB-06MU Zigbee LAN coordinator
2. 5 dB antenna
3. Micro-USB to Type-C converter cable
4. Fixing screws and accessories
5. Screwdrivers

The product is highly recommended for those who want to integrate their Zigbee devices easily and efficiently into a smart home system. The SLZB-06M provides highly reliable remote management capabilities and guarantees excellent connectivity over a wide area.
