Hello everybody,

Im currently planning on migrating my smart home to Home Assistant and run the HA docker image on my home server.

Most of my devices communicate via Zigbee so I was thinking of getting the Connect ZBT-1.
I also have a few Matter/Thread devices which would be nice to integrate as well, although not necessarily in the initial migration.

I read the ZBT-1 can experimentally be used with Thread as well. Now my question is: Is it possible to buy two devices and connect to Zigbee and Thread devices simultaneously?

Maybe someone has a similar setup and would like to share their experience.

Thanks in advance and have a nice weekend!

Yes you can use two dongles one for each but personally I think it’d be confusing for ports and configures. I’d go for one of those ABS over SMlight, they’re great and have brilliant software. Bonus being they’re Ukrainian too.

Personally I have an smlight 06, sonoff p and a zbt. They’ve all been solid
