Smlight SLZB-07P10 vs Smlight SLZB-MRW10

Full Smart Dongles comparison in 2026

Updated July 2026
Data from Amazon and official Smlight site.
2026 verdict
The Smlight SLZB-MRW10 is far and away the more capable dongle in this pairing, adding a Z-Wave 800 controller and dual-network operation to a full network coordinator, while the Smlight SLZB-07P10 is a compact USB-only Zigbee stick. The MRW10 connects over Ethernet, PoE, Wi-Fi and USB, carries two +5dBi antennas, and layers a Silicon Labs Z-Wave Series 800 radio and a Bluetooth proxy on top of its Zigbee 3.0 coordinator, whereas the SLZB-07P10 has a single +3dB antenna, no Z-Wave, no dual-network and no Bluetooth proxy. The SLZB-07P10 keeps one real advantage: it is the more affordable option, making it a good-value compact stick for a purely Zigbee, plug-into-the-server setup. Both are Zigbee coordinators for Home Assistant that also run Thread. Choose the Smlight SLZB-MRW10 for multi-protocol, network-placed capability; choose the Smlight SLZB-07P10 if you want the cheaper, simple USB Zigbee radio.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which is the better dongle, the Smlight SLZB-07P10 or the Smlight SLZB-MRW10?

The Smlight SLZB-MRW10 is much more capable, adding a Z-Wave 800 controller, dual-network operation, network connectivity and a Bluetooth proxy. The Smlight SLZB-07P10 is cheaper and simpler, so it wins on price for a Zigbee-only USB setup.

What is the biggest difference between the Smlight SLZB-07P10 and the Smlight SLZB-MRW10?

Scope. The SLZB-MRW10 is a multi-protocol network coordinator (Zigbee plus Z-Wave 800, with dual-network) over Ethernet, PoE, Wi-Fi and USB, while the SLZB-07P10 is a USB-only Zigbee stick with a +3dB antenna. Both do Thread; only the MRW10 does Z-Wave.

Does either dongle handle Z-Wave?

Only the Smlight SLZB-MRW10, thanks to its Z-Wave Series 800 chip. It can control Z-Wave devices alongside Zigbee from one unit. The Smlight SLZB-07P10 is Zigbee (and Thread) only, so it would need a separate Z-Wave controller.

Who should buy the Smlight SLZB-MRW10?

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 multiple radios into one central device.

Who should buy the Smlight SLZB-07P10?

Buy the Smlight SLZB-07P10 if your home is Zigbee only and you want an affordable, compact, high-power USB coordinator on the TI CC2652P10 chip. It plugs into your Home Assistant host and can be flashed as a Thread radio, without the added multi-protocol hardware or cost.
