SMHUB
The ultimate enterprise-level hub.
A professional-grade control hub running a Linux-based system that hosts real apps locally — Zigbee2MQTT, an MQTT broker, Z-Wave JS, WireGuard, Tailscale and Matterbridge. Dual radios, rich peripherals and modular add-ons, built for 24/7 operation.
Everything, in one hub.
Dual radios, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, rich peripherals and modular add-ons — all on a real Linux OS that runs your apps locally.

One hub, your way.

A full smart-home stack, running locally.
Each capability runs as a local app on the hub. Here's what you can do — and how the pieces connect.
Unlike a plain coordinator, SMHUB runs the actual software locally on its Linux OS: Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, an MQTT broker, Matterbridge and Node-RED. Pair and manage devices right on the hub, then connect to Home Assistant, OpenHAB or any MQTT / Matter client over your network — or run standalone with no external controller at all. (Home Assistant itself runs on your own server, never on the hub.)
- Zigbee2MQTT + Z-Wave JS running on the device
- Matterbridge exposes Zigbee to Apple / Google / Alexa
- Connect to Home Assistant over MQTT — or go fully standalone
SMHUB carries two independent radios — a TI CC26xx and a Silicon Labs EFR32. Use them as two Zigbee coordinators, a Zigbee network plus a Thread border router, or a primary and a parallel/redundant network. The Premium version pairs a CC2674P10 with an EFR32MG24; Essentials pairs a CC2652P with an EFR32MG21.
- Two separate Zigbee networks on one device
- Zigbee + a dedicated Thread network
- A parallel or redundant radio for reliability
Matterbridge runs on the hub, reads devices paired through Zigbee2MQTT and exposes them as Matter devices on your local network — so your Zigbee gear appears in ecosystems that don’t normally speak Zigbee.
- Use Zigbee devices in Google Home / Apple Home / Alexa
- Mix Zigbee and Matter in one setup
- Cross-ecosystem, all local
Node-RED runs as a local app. It reacts to events from Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT, timers or other services and sends commands back — so your logic executes on the device with low latency and no cloud dependency.
- Run automations without Home Assistant
- Fast-response rules for lights, sensors, buttons
- Combine devices, timers and external APIs
The optional Z-Wave module adds 700/800-series controller functionality with Z-Wave Long Range and S2 security. Run Z-Wave JS UI locally and expose the network to Home Assistant.
- Z-Wave locks, sensors and switches locally
- Z-Wave Long Range coverage
- Mixed Zigbee + Z-Wave + Thread on one hub
The optional 4G/LTE module adds Cat-1 mobile connectivity with GSM/EDGE fallback and a SIM slot, turning SMHUB into a self-contained gateway — as a primary link for remote sites or a backup when the wired connection drops.
- Remote or hard-to-reach installations
- Backup WAN for critical automations
- Mobile or temporary deployments

Common questions.
What is SMHUB?
A professional-grade smart control hub running a Linux-based system. It supports Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth radios plus optional Z-Wave and 4G/LTE, with Ethernet, USB and add-on modules, and hosts open-source apps like Zigbee2MQTT, Matterbridge, Node-RED, Mosquitto and WireGuard locally.
Can it work as both a hub and a coordinator?
Yes. It can run apps locally as a standalone hub, or act as a coordinator only — the hardware manages the radios while control software runs elsewhere. It can also expose Zigbee devices to any Matter ecosystem via Matterbridge.
Which platforms does it support?
Home Assistant, OpenHAB, HomeSeer and other systems that speak Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS or MQTT. Via Matterbridge it can also integrate with Google Home or Apple Home.
Which radios are supported out of the box?
Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus support for Z-Wave and 4G/LTE add-on modules.
Can I use it without an internet connection?
Yes — it runs fully offline for local automation. Internet is only needed for cloud services or remote access.
How do I configure it?
Through the web interface for system configuration and app management. Connect it to your network and open https://smhub.local in your browser.
Does it support Matter?
Yes — through Matterbridge, it bridges Zigbee devices into Matter ecosystems such as Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
Which add-ons are available?
PoE 802.3af, Z-Wave and 4G/LTE modules, a UPS module (in development), plus USB and DIY (UART/I²C/SPI) expansion.
Are all hardware features enabled today?
The device works today with its on-board CC26XX and EFR32XX radios and Ethernet. Some peripherals (IR, audio output, SD card, UPS connector, USB) are present and tested in hardware but still being enabled in production firmware.
Can it be updated to enable more features?
Yes. Firmware and software updates gradually unlock more peripherals and functions.
What makes it different from other hubs?
Multiple radios (Zigbee + Thread + Wi-Fi + Bluetooth, plus optional Z-Wave/4G/LTE), a Linux-based OS (SMHUB-OS), local hosting of open-source apps, modular add-ons, and expandable hardware with many I/O options.
Do I need technical knowledge to use it?
Basic setup is straightforward through the web interface. Advanced users can go further via hardware (USB/UART/SPI/I²C) and software customization.
