“Ordered the ZBT-2 and was impressed by the shipping speed. Running HAOS within a KVM/QEMU environment on Ubuntu, I was looking for a radio with stable USB passthrough and native Matter/Thread support. Setup was a breeze—instantly recognized by the host and passed through to the VM without driver friction.
It has been rock solid as a Thread Border Router for my Aqara and IKEA Matter devices. If you're looking for the 'official' reference hardware to avoid the headache of generic Zigbee sticks, this is it. Highly recommended for those prioritizing a stable, future-proof mesh.”
“Arrived quickly. Was easy to physically setup. Adding it to Home Assistant and configuring Matter over Thread took a couple of goes - probably my in existence though.”
