Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 - Zigbee and Matter over Thread USB stick

The ZBT-1 is no longer available.
We recommend the Sonoff Dongle Plus MG24 for Thread and Zigbee

The Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 is the ideal gateway to take your smart home to the next level. As a reliable Zigbee coordinator, it connects your devices to your Home Assistant and enables seamless control and automation – without any complicated setup.

Features at a glance:

• Plug & Play: Simply plug it into a USB port, configure it in Home Assistant, and get started right away.
• Broad compatibility: Supports a wide range of Zigbee devices from leading manufacturers such as Sonoff, Philips Hue, IKEA Tradfri, Aqara, and more.
• Stable connection: Thanks to a powerful antenna and long range, the Connect ZBT-1 connects all your devices reliably.

Future-proof thanks to firmware updates

With a firmware update, the Connect ZBT-1 becomes not just a Zigbee gateway, but also a Thread and Matter-enabled device. This means you will be able to integrate devices using the Matter standard in the future – the new generation of smart home communication. This ensures you are optimally prepared for the future.

• Thread support: Enables the integration of modern devices with minimal latency.
• Matter-Ready: Full interoperability with Matter-enabled devices regardless of the manufacturer.
• Note on multi-protocol (Zigbee + Thread/Matter): The Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 can control both Zigbee and Thread/Matter devices. However, for stability reasons, Home Assistant recommends not running Zigbee and Thread on the same stick simultaneously, but instead using a separate Thread Border Router if needed. More information can be found in the Home Assistant FAQ.
