Question: Im planning to get into smart homes for good, but Im annoyed by the "thousands" of Zigbee gateways. Does this device (together with Home Assistant) allow you to connect multiple devices that support the Zigbee protocol without the need to use manufacturers gateways?
Answer: Yes, the ZBT-2 gate allows you to avoid using several different gates.

Greste!💯💯💯

REMARK! Remember that it works EITHER Zigbee OR Thread, not all at once. I use Zigbee. According to online knowledge, it also supports Zigbee2MQTT. It works perfectly with Home Assistant on Raspberry Pi 5. No coverage issues, instant detection by HA. Easy setup and adding new devices. In addition, you can support HA creators, which is a big plus for me. I eliminated the Aqara M3 gateway and now the data from the sensors does not fly through Chinese servers, but everything is local.

great product, shipment on time

Works without any problems, as it should be. Top!

Great, finally a device to dive 😃 cleanly into the Thread world. Works with HomeAssistant as it should, there is nothing more to say.
Jens 16.02.2026 Confirmed purchase
Flawless installation, works like a charm. Direct integration into HA -awesome!
Christopher 16.02.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Had quite a few problems with the Dirigera Hub and the matte integration (events were not passed on, devices went offline in HA but in the Dirigera they were online and active etc.). With the ZBT-2, everything works perfectly. Installation: easy, plug in, flash firmware if necessary (Zigbee OR Matter, HA does it itself during integration), done

Works seamlessly.
Marco 13.02.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Perfect deal. While 2 other competitors left me hanging with this article, Botland was not only able to deliver, but also very quickly. It doesn't get any better than this. I'm sure I'll stop by more often. And I already knew the ZBT-2... As expected, it also works excellently. Thank you and see you next time.

Piotr 04.02.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
I'm using HomeAssistant in a Docker container. I have nearly 100 devices in the Zigbee network (Zigbee2MQTT), using a simple Sonoff dongle, some of them have low LQI despite the placement of sockets acting as amplifiers. I bought the ZBT-2 with the idea that it would improve my range and connection quality. Coverage has actually improved and all devices have reported an LQI above 5-. But it turns out that the ZBT-2 has huge hardware issues in my setup. Already when connected to a computer, the device is full of errors such as "unable to get device address". Unfortunately, when you try to connect to more than one device at once, you get the error "ASH disconnected | Adapter status: ASH_NCP_FATAL_ERROR" and the device falls into a soft-brick state. Sometimes it helps to physically unplug the dongle for a few minutes, and sometimes you need a factory reset or re-upload of the firmware to get it to work again. If a plug pops up or there is a power outage (which happens to me), the whole network crashes and requires a lot of work to put it back on. It's not a question of the copy, because I tested it on several devices (even from different sellers) and it was the same every time.

It just works.
Ernesto 02.02.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
The ZBT-2 works with Home Assistant in principle, but does not support Zigbbee Touchlink. Therefore, I unfortunately had to return the stick and look for another device
Paweł 31.01.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
It works flawlessly with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT (on Raspberry Pi 3B+). Very aesthetic and classic look. Long enough USB cable
Rafał 26.01.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
Sensational product. It works great with the latest IKEA smart products (Matter over Thread).
Norbert 26.01.2026 Confirmed purchase Translated review
So far, I have only operated zigbee devices via a sonoff stick with the Homeassistant system. Now I want to integrate Matter as well. The zbt stick is really absolutely stress-free to integrate and runs... But it is also a bit clunky in the storage room, so it doesn't matter. At botland it was cheap and was always delivered very quickly
