Connect ZBT-2 adds Zigbee 3.0 or Thread to Home Assistant Green or another Home Assistant system. Choose the mode for your devices during setup. Each adapter runs Zigbee or Thread, one at a time.

Choose your connection

Zigbee: Connect compatible Zigbee lights, switches, sensors and other devices.
Thread: Use ZBT-2 as part of a Home Assistant Thread border router setup for Matter-over-Thread devices.

Matter devices that use Wi-Fi or Ethernet do not need a Thread radio. To use Zigbee and Thread at the same time, use separate dedicated radios or a suitable Thread border router.

Getting started

Connect the adapter to your Home Assistant system using its USB cable and follow the setup wizard. The adapter has a USB-C connection. Device compatibility and pairing steps depend on the devices you own.

Official ZBT-2 product information and setup resources.

Ships from Canada. A Home Assistant system is required; the adapter is not a standalone hub.

Product questions

Does a Connect adapter work as a standalone smart home hub?

Connect ZBT-2 and Connect ZWA-2 are USB radio adapters for a Home Assistant system. They add wireless connectivity to a hub such as Home Assistant Green; an adapter on its own does not replace the hub.

Can one Connect ZBT-2 run Zigbee and Thread at the same time?

Each Connect ZBT-2 runs Zigbee or Thread, one at a time. Choose its mode during setup. To use both networks at once, use a separate dedicated radio or a suitable Thread border router for the other network.

Do all Matter devices need a Connect ZBT-2?

Matter devices can communicate over Wi-Fi, Ethernet or Thread. Matter-over-Wi-Fi and Ethernet devices do not need a Thread radio. Matter-over-Thread devices need a compatible Thread border router; a ZBT-2 configured for Thread can be used as part of that Home Assistant setup.

What's the difference between the Connect ZBT-2 and Connect ZWA-2?

Choose ZBT-2 for Zigbee 3.0 or Thread. Each adapter runs one of those protocols at a time. Choose ZWA-2 for compatible North American Z-Wave and Z-Wave Long Range devices. The kit with both adapters combines Z-Wave with your choice of Zigbee or Thread. For Zigbee and Thread at the same time, contact us for help choosing an additional dedicated radio or a suitable Thread border router.

Can I use Connect ZBT-2 and Connect ZWA-2 together?

Yes. They serve different networks and can be used together with Home Assistant Green. ZWA-2 manages Z-Wave, and ZBT-2 manages either Zigbee or Thread. The kit with both adapters still uses one ZBT-2 for one protocol at a time.
