🚀 SLZB-MRW10 – Multiprotocol Smart Home Adapter (Testing Samples)
Call for Testers
We are currently distributing SLZB-MRW10 units for testing purposes. These devices have successfully completed internal testing and demonstrate stable performance across all supported networks, including Zigbee, Thread/Matter, Wi-Fi, and non-certified Z-Wave.
These adapters are distributed to selected testers strictly for evaluation and testing only.
The current price reflects testing program participation, and the expected retail price (RRP) is expected to be about $75.
ANTENNAS POSITION
WARNING
⚠️ Important Notice To ensure optimal performance and avoid hardware issues, do not mix up the Z-Wave and Zigbee/Thread antennas - they operate on different frequencies.
The Z-Wave antenna operates at 860 - 920 MHz, is included in the device package, and is clearly labeled “900 MHz”.
- The Z-Wave antenna port is located on the right side of the device (when viewed from the front, where the Ethernet connector is).
- The Zigbee/Thread antenna port is located on the left side, also when viewed from the front (Ethernet connector facing you).
WARNING
Connecting the antennas to the wrong ports can result in poor signal quality or even damage to the radios.
