Description
An all-in-one Home Assistant hub – the SM310ZHA. Comes pre-installed with the latest Home Assistant OS, built-in Zigbee 3.0 radio, and optional Z-Wave 700-series radio in the dual-protocol variant. Replaces a Raspberry Pi + Zigbee dongle + Z-Wave dongle + SD card + antenna setup with a single fanless box. Ready to use in 5-10 minutes from power-on.
Three variants:
- Zigbee only – cheapest variant, suitable if you only plan to use Zigbee devices (the majority of our catalogue).
- Z-Wave only – for households already using Z-Wave devices and not planning to add Zigbee.
- Zigbee + Z-Wave (recommended) – both radios in one box, gives you maximum flexibility for future device choices.
Why pre-installed Home Assistant beats a Raspberry Pi build
- No setup time – plug in, browse to
homeassistant.local:8123, finish the onboarding wizard. 10 minutes from box to running. - No supply-chain hassles – Raspberry Pi 4 availability has been intermittent for years. SD cards corrupt. Power supplies need to be specific spec. This hub bypasses all of that.
- Faster storage than SD – internal eMMC flash, not an SD card. Massively reduces the storage-failure problem that’s plagued Pi-based HA installs.
- Integrated antennas – Zigbee and Z-Wave antennas are properly placed inside the case for full omnidirectional coverage, not a USB stick on a cable.
- Fanless design – silent, no moving parts. Sits in your living room or office without noise.
- Officially supported HA Supervised installation – the full add-on ecosystem is available, including Mosquitto, Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome, Frigate, AdGuard, and hundreds more.
What you can do with it
Home Assistant has over 2,000 integrations. With this hub you get out-of-the-box control of:
- All Samotech Zigbee devices (switches, dimmers, modules, plugs, sensors, smoke detectors, leak detectors)
- Generic Zigbee 3.0 devices from any manufacturer (IKEA TRÅDFRI, Aqara, Sonoff, Philips Hue, etc.)
- Z-Wave devices in the dual-protocol variant
- WiFi smart home devices (Tuya / SmartLife integration is built in)
- Matter devices via the Matter integration
- Apple HomeKit – HA exposes all devices as HomeKit accessories via the built-in HomeKit bridge integration
- Alexa, Google Home – via the Nabu Casa cloud or local exposure plugins
Setup walkthrough
- Connect the Ethernet cable from the hub to a free port on your router.

- Pair devices following each device’s pairing instructions.
Network requirements
