Smart-home-ZigBee-bridge Sonoff ZBBridge-U met RJ45 LAN, 1,5 GHz processor, 1 GB RAM

SONOFF ZBBridge-U is a Zigbee bridge that connects Zigbee smart devices to the Matter ecosystem and IP-based smart home platforms. It provides RJ45 Ethernet and Wi‑Fi connectivity, a 1.5 GHz dual‑core processor, 1 GB DDR4 RAM and 8 GB eMMC storage, supports up to 256 devices and offers a radio range of up to 200 meters. The gateway enables control via Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa and SmartThings and can act as a security control panel to trigger alarm scenarios.

Advantages

The gateway combines wired Ethernet and 2.4 GHz Wi‑Fi connectivity with Zigbee 3.0 support to ensure stable and fast communication between devices. Its 1.5 GHz dual‑core processor, 1 GB of DDR4 memory and 8 GB eMMC provide sufficient performance for complex automations and simultaneous control of many devices. Matter compatibility makes it possible to manage Zigbee devices from major smart home ecosystems and voice assistants. The device also supports creation of alarm scenarios by integrating with Zigbee sensors.

Suitable for

• Connecting and managing Zigbee sensors, switches and smart outlets
• Integrating Zigbee devices into Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa or SmartThings
