# Zigbee Router mode ### General information: [](https://smlight.tech/support/manuals/uploads/images/gallery/2025-10/Qfeimage.png) USB stick in Zigbee router mode expands your existing Zigbee network: - amplifies the signal - increases the maximum number of devices in the network by 32Important: you need to pair the stick to your Zigbee network for it to start working as Zigbee router
### Configuring device as Zigbee router #### Flashing router firmware - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Update Firmware** button - Select dongle serial port - Wait for connection - **Enable pairing in your Zigbee network** - Select firmware (Router) - Flash firmware - Immediately after the update, the device will start searching for the network, so it is important that the network is open at this moment. #### Manuall pairing activation If after flashing the device did not pair or you need to pair the device in another location, you can do this! ##### SLZB-07/MGx: - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Router reconnect** button - If that didn't work: 1. Download any serial terminal (e.g. terra term) 2. Connect the dongle to the PC 3. Open the dongle COM in the terminal at **115200** baurate 4. Send **network leave** ##### SLZB-07Px: - Go to [https://smlight.tech/flasher/](https://smlight.tech/flasher/) - Select your model - Press **Router reconnect** button - If that didn't work: repeat step "Flashing router firmware" ### Troubleshooting #### Сoordinator does not detect the dongle - Make sure your ZigBee network is open - Make sure the dongle is within range of your ZigBee network - Activate pairing on the dongle manually #### The dongle appears offline after a while This may not be true. Z2M marks ZigBee devices as offline if they do not report anything for a long time, but the router firmware has nothing to report (the device does not have any sensors) so the system may mark it as offline. > **If the device is truly offline, all devices that were connected through it will become unavailable.** If the device offline then the most likely reason is that it is outside the coverage area of your Zigbee network. # Thread setup ### Addon setup 1. Flash the Thread firmware. Please follow this manual for device update instructions [https://smlight.tech/support/manuals/books/slzb-07pxmgx/page/device-update](https://smlight.tech/support/manuals/books/slzb-07pxmgx/page/device-update) 2. Install the OTBR addon into your Home Assistant OS (HAOS) [](https://smlight.tech/support/manuals/uploads/images/gallery/2026-02/1qsimage.png) If your HA is installed in docker you can try this docker container [https://hub.docker.com/r/bnutzer/otbr-tcp](https://hub.docker.com/r/bnutzer/otbr-tcp) 3.

Now, let's install the required integration: `Thread` and `OpenThread Border Router`. 2. Go back to the Home Assistant interface and navigate to `Settings` > `Devices & Services`. 3. Basically, all two should be autodiscovered so you just need to configure them. If they are not, click on `Add integration` and search for them there. 4. OpenThread Border Router – no configurations, just add. 5. Thread Integration – click `Configure` and make sure you have `OpenThread Border Router` under `Preferred network` line, and it contains an icon with key+phone. If not, do the following: - click three dots on the right to `OpenThread Border Router`, choose `Add to preferrede network`. - Under the preferred network now, click again three dots on the right to `OpenThread Border Router`, and choose `Use router for Android + iOS credentials`. 6. Start the add-on. Here we would suggest as well to click both `Start on boot` and `Watchdog`. #### Reboot your Home Assistant server 1. Once all Home Assistant components are installed, we reccomend to reboot your Home Assistant server. ### Pre-set up your phone 1. Install `Home Assistant` app on your Android phone from Play store. At the time of this video, we were unable to pair Matter-over-Thread device via iPhone. 2. Install `Google Home` app from Play store. It is recommended by `Home Assistant` developers and we were not able to pair our Thread devices without installed Google Home app. 3. Open `Home Assistant` app and sync it with your Home Assistant server. Your phone and Home assistant server should be in the same Wi-Fi network. 4. In app, go to `Settings` – `Companion app` -> Click `Troubleshooting` and click `Sync Thread Credentials`. 5. Wait until message `Home Assistant and this device use the same network`. If you see another message, namely `Added network from Home Assistant to this device` – you need to click on `Sync Thread Credentials` again, until you get that message about the same network. 6. If you are not getting message `Home Assistant and this device use the same network` - try to reset your Google Play Services (remove all data, usually by App settings -> Erase data -> Clear All Data, but namings depend on the smartphone model). ### Adding the Matter Device 1. With the Matter integration set up, grab your Matter device and Android smartphone. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. 2. Open the Home Assistant app and navigate to `Settings` > `Devices & Services` -> `Devices` Tab. 3. Click the `+ ADD DEVICE` button at the borrom right part of the screen to add a device, choose `Add Matter device`. 4. Follow the on-screen instructions in the app. You'll likely need to scan a QR code located on your Eve Energy socket or enter pairing code manually. We did it with QR-code scanning. 5. Home Assistan app on your phone can as Which app to open? Select `other` and then `Home assistant`. 6. The app will guide you through pairing the device with your Thread network. It should pass through this satuses: - Connecting to device... - Generating Matter credentials... - Connecting device to network... - Checking netwoek connectivity... - Connecting device to Home Assistant... - Device connected! 7. Note: - If a Matter-over-Thread end-device has been powered up for a long time, it may require a reset of device to put back into pairing mode. - In case you have Google home devices (Nest hub) and experiances issues with pairing, try to turn them off before starting OpenThread Border router add-on on your Home Assistant and your Home Assistant app. ### Verifying Connection and Control 1. Once the pairing is complete, head back to the Home Assistant interface. You should see your Eve Energy socket listed on your `Dashboard` or under the `Devices` section . 2. Click on the device to access its controls. You should be able to turn the socket on and off remotely within the Home Assistant interface. **Congratulations**! You've successfully connected your Matter-over-Thread device to Home Assistant using the OpenThread Border Router and Matter Integrations. Now you can enjoy the benefits of Matter's secure and interoperable smart home ecosystem.TIP: You can refer to the Home Assistant documentation for Matter and Thread for more troubleshooting steps [https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/thread/](https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/thread/)
