Smlight SLZB-06p7U vs Smlight SLZB-MRW10

The Smlight SLZB-MRW10 is the more capable pick because it adds a Z-Wave 800 controller and dual-network support on top of the same network-connected Zigbee coordinator. The Smlight SLZB-06p7U is Zigbee only (with USB-over-Ethernet), so it wins only if you never need Z-Wave.

Protocol coverage. The SLZB-MRW10 pairs a Zigbee 3.0 coordinator with a Z-Wave Series 800 controller and dual-network operation, while the SLZB-06p7U is Zigbee only. Both share Ethernet, PoE, Wi-Fi, Thread border router and Bluetooth proxy support.

Only the Smlight SLZB-MRW10. Its Z-Wave Series 800 chip lets it control Z-Wave locks and sensors alongside Zigbee, replacing two sticks. The Smlight SLZB-06p7U has no Z-Wave radio and would need a separate controller for Z-Wave devices.

Buy the Smlight SLZB-MRW10 if you run both Zigbee and Z-Wave and want a single network-placed coordinator that also does dual-network, Thread and Bluetooth proxy over Ethernet or PoE. It consolidates two radios into one central unit.

Buy the Smlight SLZB-06p7U if your home is Zigbee only and you want a network-placed coordinator with Thread and Bluetooth proxy, plus its handy USB-over-Ethernet feature. It covers Zigbee and Thread well without the added Z-Wave hardware or cost.
