    SMHUB

    SMHUB Device

    The Ultimate Enterprise Level Hub

    SMHUB Overview

    SMHUB is a professional-grade control hub running a Linux-based system that can host apps locally — Zigbee2MQTT, MQTT broker, Z-Wave JS, WireGuard, Tailscale, Matterbridge, and more. Despite working seamlessly with smart home systems like Home Assistant, OpenHAB, HomeSeer, or others, with Zigbee2MQTT and Matterbridge it can also expose Zigbee devices directly to Google Home or Apple Home without any additional hubs ( Zigbee device → SMHUB → Google/Apple Home).

    The Story Behind SMHUB

    The Story Behind SMHUB

    At SMLIGHT, we delivered multiple complete solutions for smart home networks - and the SLZB-06 series and SLZB-MR series of Zigbee+Thread+Wi-Fi+ Bluetooth coordinators became well known and beloved by thousands of customers. Many users told us they wanted to decouple Zigbee software like Zigbee2MQTT from their home servers for better stability. That insight led us to build a hub that can run the software itself: a fully fledged Linux system designed for reliability and simplicity.

    From adapters to a complete hub

    From Adapters to a Complete Hub

    Adapters solved connectivity. SLZB-06 and SLZB-MR series reliably connected devices to any smart home platform.
    SMHUB solves integration. It runs Linux packages directly on the hub - Zigbee2MQTT, Matterbridge, Node-RED, WireGuard, Mosquitto MQTT - so you don’t have to juggle separate servers, bridges, and dongles.

    Technical Vision

    • Fully fledged Linux system: runs open-source apps locally for stability and control.
    • Multi-radio core: Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth built in. Optional radio add-ons for Z-Wave and 4G/LTE .
    • Peripheral-rich design: IR receiver, IR transmitter, buzzer, service LEDs, audio out, ambilight, SD/eMMC — tiny cost, huge value.
    • Modular by design: advanced radios are optional, so users only pay for what they actually need.
    • Flexible modes: Standalone smart hub UI, remote radio coordinator, or Matter bridge to Google/Apple Home.

    Why SMHUB matters

    Why It Matters

    Smart homes often become fragmented: software on one server, radios on another device, separate bridges for each ecosystem. SMHUB changes that. By bringing radios, Linux-run software, and high-value peripherals together, it delivers a stable, feature-rich, and future-proof experience — without making regular users pay for features they don’t use.

    The Challenges Today — and How SMHUB Solves Them

    A quick, side-by-side look at pain points versus what you get with SMHUB.

    Too many dongles & hubs; clutter and instability.
    Dual radios built-in (TI CC26xx + Silicon Labs EFR32); optional Z-Wave and 4G/LTE modules keep it one clean hub.
    Compatibility chaos & vendor lock-in; cloud required.
    Run Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, MQTT broker (and more) locally on the device.
    Limited flexibility; can’t adapt or expand when needs change.
    Modular by design: add Z-Wave or 4G/LTE, any devices via USB, UART, or SPI; more radios as modules.
    Unreliable performance & latency under load.
    Linux-based system with enterprise-grade design; PoE or USB powered for stable installs.
    Hard for pros, confusing for DIY; poor fit for either.
    Enterprise-grade yet DIY-friendly: expansion GPOIs, USB, tiny form factor, clean setup, and open tooling.
    Space constraints & messy installs.
    Small, tidy design; flexible mounting; single-hub footprint.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      Here are the most common questions about SMHUB:

      SMHUB is a professional-grade smart control hub running a Linux-based system. It supports multiple radios (Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, optional Z-Wave and 4G/LTE), Ethernet, USB, and add-ons like PoE. It is designed to host popular open-source apps such as Zigbee2MQTT, Matterbridge, Node-RED, Mosquitto MQTT and WireGuard locally.
      Yes. SMHUB can function as a standalone hub, running apps locally on its Linux system, or as a coordinator only, where the hardware manages radios (Zigbee, Thread, Z-Wave) but the control software runs on another server or platform. Also, it can expose Zigbee devices to any Matter-compatible ecosystem utilizing power of Matterbrdige app
      SMHUB works seamlessly with Home Assistant, OpenHAB, HomeSeer, and other systems that support Zigbee2MQTT, Z-Wave JS, or MQTT. Thanks to its Linux base, it can integrate with most open-source smart home ecosystems. Also, utilizing Matterbridge, it can expose devices to proprietary smart systems like Google Home or Apple Home
      SMHUB comes with quad radios for Zigbee, Thread, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, plus support for a Z-Wave and 4G/LTE add-on modules.
      Yes. SMHUB runs fully offline for local automation. Internet connectivity is only required if you want to integrate cloud services or remote access. You can build automations using Zigbee2MQTT + Node-RED. Or, you can expose your Zigbee devices to GoogleHome or AppleHome via Matterbrdige. And, of course, it works with such local smart control platforms like Home Assistant or OpenHub - all this locally
      SMHUB provides a web interface for system configuration and app management. You can install and manage packages like Zigbee2MQTT or Node-RED directly through the interface. Connect SMHUB to your network, open you rbrowser and go to https://smhub.local
      Yes, through Matterbridge software, SMHUB can bridge Zigbee devices into Matter ecosystems such as Google Home or Apple HomeKit.
      SMHUB supports modular add-ons. At the moment, we developed and performed initial tests of these modules:
      - PoE Power over Ethernet 802.3af (plug-in module)
      - Z-Wave (plug-in module)
      - 4G/LTE (plug-in module)
      - Additional USB and DIY (UART/I2C/SPI) expansion options
      Not all. Currently we are on expanding functionality of the device in the software. Device fully works with onboard radios CC26XX and EFR32XX, of course Ethernet connection etc. Most other things works, but requires development of User Interface for conveniance. Other peripherals (IR, audio output, SD card, UPS connector, USB etc.) are present in hardware and tested in development, but not yet implemented in production firmware. We recommend relying only on features officially marked as supported in firmware.
      Yes. Firmware and software updates will gradually unlock more peripherals and functions. We publish changelogs with each release.
      SMHUB is designed as a professional, modular, and future-proof hub:
      - Multi radios (Zigbee + Thread + Wi-FI + Bluetooth + optional Z-Wave and optional 4G/LTE)
      - Linux-based OS (called SMHUB-OS) for stability and flexibility
      - Local hosting of popular open-source apps - Zigbee2MQTT, Node-RED, Mosquitto-MQTT broker, Matterbrdige etc
      - Modular add-on support (PoE, LTE, Z-Wave, etc.)
      - Expandable hardware with multiple I/O options
      Basic setup is straightforward through the web interface. Advanced users can customize the system further, from both hardware perspective (via USB/UART/SPI/I2C) and software perspective.
