← Hubs & dongles
SMLIGHT's newer USB dongle line, sitting below the Ethernet/PoE SLZB-06M already in this list — same EFR32MG21 radio in a pocket-sized stick with a +20dB amp and external antenna. Ignore the "Thread/Matter" wording some Amazon listings use: the base SLZB-07 is Zigbee-only. Right pick if you just want a cheap, plug-and-play ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT coordinator on the machine running Home Assistant, rather than a networked one.
