Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 vs Smlight SLZB-07P10

Full Smart Dongles comparison in 2026

Updated October 2026
Data from Amazon and official Smlight site.
2026 verdict
If the radio chip is the only thing that separates two USB Zigbee sticks, the Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 is the one to buy, mainly because it is the more affordable of the pair.

Nothing else on the spec sheet favors either side: the Smlight SLZB-07P10 lists the same Zigbee 3.0 coordinator and router roles, +20dBm of amplifier gain, a +3dB external antenna, a Thread border router and Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT support. The difference is the silicon, a Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 in the Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 against a Texas Instruments CC2652P10 in the Smlight SLZB-07P10. Both ship with outdated firmware that owners flash before first use. Choose the Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 for the lower cost, and the Smlight SLZB-07P10 only if you specifically want the Texas Instruments chip.

What the differences mean

Radio chip

The Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 uses a Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 and the Smlight SLZB-07P10 a Texas Instruments CC2652P10. Both speak Zigbee 3.0 with the same +20dBm of amplifier gain, so on the shelf the choice comes down to which chip family you prefer to run.

Size and weight

Both list the same 18 x 54 x 10 mm body and the same 14g, so nothing separates them on the desk or in a USB port.

Everything else

Antenna, coordinator and router roles, Thread border router, Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT support are the same, and neither has Ethernet, Wi-Fi, PoE, Z-Wave or a Bluetooth proxy. The two are close to interchangeable.

Which one to buy if

What owners say

Owners of the two sticks tell nearly the same story, which is the useful finding here. Both groups say that once it is running the stick is a no-drama coordinator: plug it into a Raspberry Pi, mini PC or server, Home Assistant recognizes it and ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT take over. Both praise migrating from a Sonoff Plus-E with the Migrate Adapter tool without re-pairing, a body much smaller than the Sonoff, and easy web firmware updates. Both warn about the same friction: outdated firmware to flash before use, a flaky Thread flashing tool, non-standard drivers on Mac and Windows and thin documentation. Smlight SLZB-07 MG24 owners lean on the newer chip's speed and memory for larger networks, while Smlight SLZB-07P10 owners lean on the high-power radio and its range.

Price history compared

Every price change of both, in the same store, so the gap between the two lines is what one costs more than the other.
