Worked perfect for my Home Assistant needs. Thankful to be able to change protocols if needed.

Could not get it to work with HomeAssistant, when using LAN/PoE. Read many other had issues when using the LAN connector, and switched to USB. I bought it exclusively for the PoE LAN, so ended up returning it.

Software is a little "quirky", but the ZigBee functionality is great and integrates well in Home Assistant! I seem to always have issues on the Security page, where things like input fields are requiring values when the feature is disabled, enabling certain features appear to remain disabled when they're not, and setting web UI password breaks minor integration on Home Assistant. Seems significant, but it's not that bad, and the core ZigBee functionality runs perfectly, so it's still well worth it.

I just plugged this into my PoE switch, got the IP address from my switch, went to the web UI to make sure it was on, and added it to Home Assistant. Pretty easy and have had 0 issues using this with Zigbee2MQTT. The range seems really good so far too.

Sometimes a product comes along that makes life much easier. This is one of them.I run Home Assistant via a virtual machine running on a Synology NAS.A Sonoff USB dongle connected to the NAS was my Zigbee coordinator.Once I had the Sonoff up and running, I was able to forget about it, because it just worked.The problems started whenever I had to unplug it from the NAS. Inevitably, the USB connectionwas forgotten by the Synology software and I had to remember how to turn it back on again, orthe USB drivers failed. When the drivers failed I was forced to SSH into the NAS and use command line entries to download, and hopefully install, the correct USB drivers. Because this only happened everycouple of years, it was always a challenge to remember how to fix the issue.I have the SMLIGHT connected directly into one of my network switches, and it's powered via POE.There are no drivers to worry about and it has a very nice web interface that allows complete controlof the device.In my opinion, one of the best features of the SMLIGHT is its ability to spoof the MAC address ofthe Sonoff dongle. Once the MAC address of the Sonoff was entered into the web interface of the SMLIGHT and it was rebooted, all of my devices just assumed that the SMLIGHT was the Sonoff, soI didn't have to repair any of them. Easy-peasy.The Sonoff was/is a nice piece of tech., but the SMLIGHT takes things to another level.

This configurator is an easy setup in Home Assistant. Full directions are available online at the SMlight SLZB-06 webpage. There are numerous YouTube setup directions too. Zigbee2MQTT is recommended but will work fine with ZHA if you don't want to mess with the MQTT setup. The dongle plays nicely along side whatever Zigbee configurator is presently used so it can be test driven without bothering the present configuration. I have not tried Thread/Matter configuration.

I love this coordinator. I wish I'd found one of these before buying the USB version. This device is a real bonus.The concept is great. You can connect this as a traditional USB dongle, use WiFi, or connect it to a PoE switch. WiFi gives you the option to place this device anywhere in your home for the best possible coverage over your zigbee network. I opted for PoE with gave me flexibility in my own home setup. With PoE, you don't have to worry about providing external power. The connectivity is great. Now I can position my coordinator in a central location away from electrical interference that might clog the signal.If you don't have a PoE switch, you can still connect it to the wall for power and use WiFI. Or, you can connect it directly to your home assistant server via USB C. So many options.The user interface is great. It allows you to secure the device with your own account. It allows you to easily upgrade the firmware, reset, or adjust the settings. It also gives you the connection strings you need for your Home Assistant setup including ZHA and MQTT.The extra bonus for me was to have a coordinator that is separate from my home assistant server. It allows the flexibility to provide high availability on the server without worrying about the zigbee coordinator.Pros:- Placement- Coverage- Connection options- Ease of useCons:- None to mentionI really wish this had been my first pick. Then I wouldn't have had to worry about USB extension cables and such that I needed for my old dongle. The options for placement are far superior and the guided experience of the web interface make it much easier to use than traditional dongles.

It can be powered via PoE or USB. Can connect to Wifi as well. It has it own's web page where you can configure all it's settings. the LEDs can be turned off (very important feature, thanks devs!)It is automatically detected by Home Assistant and setup is a breeze. It is stable, has not dropped any connections or thrown any errors. Signal seems to be strong and I was able to reach all devices in a large 3 bedroom house with just one coordinator.Highly recommend this!
