Description ▼

Notice: The current batch of Connect ZBT-1 devices is not affected by the previous voltage regulator issue. All units are fully functional and verified to be issue-free! Only older batch 232401 (noted on the ZBT-1 box) used the faulty voltage regulators.

The Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 (formerly known as SkyConnect) is designed to be a perfect match for Home Assistant Users. The device provides an easy connection with Zigbee or Thread.

The device is an EFR32 Series 2 (Silicon Labs EZSP v8) adapter that will transmit at a power of +20 dBm. The drive supports full-speed USB 2.0 when plugged into the included USB extender.

Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 can also be used to turn your Home Assistant installation into a Thread border router. The first time that you connect your ZBT-1 to your HA Hub you will be prompted to select either Zigbee or Thread. If you want to install a different firmware please follow these instructions.

The USB Stick is Plug and Play, tightly integrated with the Zigbee Home Automation integration allowing for a beginner-friendly experience.
