Nabu Casa - Zigbee 3.0 USB Stick Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1

Zigbee and Thread (Matter) on the same chip

The Stick Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 is designed to be a perfect match for Home Assistant users. It is Plug and Play, making it quick and easy to use, even for beginners!

The device allows easy connection with Zigbee and will support Matter specifications in the future with a Home Assistant firmware update.

The product supports Over-The-Wire (OTW) firmware update via USB interface, which allows easy and fast firmware update for both protocols. It is based on an EFR32 Series 2 adapter (Silicon Labs EZSP v8) that transmits at +20 dBm.

The Stick Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 supports full speed USB 2.0 when plugged into the included USB extender. The included USB extender cable avoids interference, not using it may cause intermittent instabilities or problems.
Home Assistant will provide an addon that will contact the Ember batteries for Zigbee and Matter. Nabu Casa will provide regular firmware updates to provide the best possible user experience with a Zigbee/Matter adapter.
