Coordinator
A coordinator is the radio adapter that gives Home Assistant its own Z-Wave, Zigbee, or Thread network. It runs the mesh locally, with no vendor hub or cloud in the path.
Our top picks
The brands we reach for first, best to 3.
-
Home Assistant
2 modelsHome Assistant hardware that works with Selora, built by the team behind the platform. The Connect radios give a Selora Hub its Zigbee, Thread and Z-Wave coverage over USB, with first party firmware and updates handled in the UI.
-
SMLIGHT
5 modelsSMLIGHT SLZB coordinators that work with Selora and Home Assistant. The SLZB-06 and SLZB-MR adapters put the Zigbee or Thread radio on Ethernet or PoE instead of a USB port on the hub, and the SLZB-07 sticks cover USB installs. Both run locally on ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, or an OpenThread border router, with no SMLIGHT cloud account in the path.
-
Sonoff
3 modelsSonoff devices that work with Selora and Home Assistant. Sonoff's Zigbee 3.0 line, from the SNZB sensors to the TRVZB radiator valve and the SWV water valve, pairs directly with ZHA or zigbee2mqtt and runs fully locally, with no Sonoff hub or eWeLink cloud account required.

Everything Selora deploys and supports in this role.
Connect ZBT-2
Connect ZBT-2 is the first party Zigbee and Thread radio for Home Assistant. It is a tuned antenna on a weighted base rather than a USB stick, so the radio sits away from the hub and its interference instead of on top of it.
Connect ZWA-2
Connect ZWA-2 is the first party Z-Wave 800 radio for Home Assistant, with Z-Wave Long Range alongside the usual mesh. The full height antenna and base are tuned for the band, so range comes from the hardware, not from repeaters.
SLZB-06p7U
SMLIGHT's networked Zigbee coordinator, built on the Texas Instruments CC2652P7 and reached over Ethernet or PoE instead of a USB port. Runs on ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT with no SMLIGHT cloud account.
SLZB-MR3U
SMLIGHT's dual radio Ethernet and PoE coordinator. A Texas Instruments CC2674P10 and a Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 sit in one case, so one adapter runs a Zigbee mesh and a Thread border router at the same time.
SLZB-06Mg24U
SMLIGHT's Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 coordinator on Ethernet or PoE. One click in its web UI switches it between a Zigbee coordinator, a Zigbee router, and a Matter-over-Thread border router, with no reflashing.
SLZB-07Mg24
SMLIGHT's Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 USB stick. It runs as a Zigbee coordinator on ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, or carries Thread firmware for a Matter-over-Thread border router, one protocol at a time.
SLZB-07p7
SMLIGHT's compact USB Zigbee stick, built on the Texas Instruments CC2652P7 with a +20 dBm amplifier and a rotatable external antenna. Pairs devices directly on ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT with no hub or cloud.
Dongle Plus MG24
SONOFF's Zigbee and Thread USB stick on the Silicon Labs EFR32MG24, the chip family of the Home Assistant Connect ZBT-2. It is the Zigbee radio in Selora packages, because it is sold on Amazon and the ZBT-2 is not.
ZBDongle-P
Sonoff's Zigbee coordinator, built on the Texas Instruments CC2652P with a +20 dBm amplifier and an external antenna. Pairs Zigbee devices directly on ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT with no Sonoff hub or cloud.
ZBDongle-E
Sonoff's Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 Zigbee coordinator and the multiprotocol sibling of the ZBDongle-P. It runs on ZHA with EmberZNet firmware and is the backup to the CC2652P ZBDongle-P.
ZST39 LR
Zooz's 800-series Z-Wave coordinator with Z-Wave Long Range, S2 security, and SmartStart. Runs on Z-Wave JS and is the recommended Z-Wave stick for new North American installs.
ZST10-700
Zooz's earlier 700-series Z-Wave coordinator with S2 and SmartStart. It runs on Z-Wave JS but has no Long Range, and the 800-series ZST39 LR has superseded it for new work.
