We created the [Home Assistant SkyConnect][skyconnect] to provide the missing smart home connectivity. It contains a chip from the same family as the Home Assistant Yellow. It is set out of the box to provide Zigbee. With the latest Home Assistant 2023.2 and when using Home Assistant OS, it is possible to turn your Home Assistant SkyConnect into a Thread border router. This can be done by enabling our experimental multiprotocol support in {% my hardware title="Settings -> Hardware" %} and by clicking Configure.

Home Assistant SkyConnect was introduced at the end of 2022 via our distributor network (hit “buy” on [our website][skyconnect]). Many distributors sold out right away but most should be receiving new stock soon.

{% details "Why include a USB extension cable?" %} USB 3.0 ports (the ones with blue on the inside) are known to cause significant noise and radio interference to any 2.4Ghz wireless devices. This includes Zigbee and Thread. If you do not use the extension cable, it may not work at all, and if it does, it could be flaky at best with intermittent problems (issues with pairing, device dropouts, unreachable devices, timeout errors, etc).
|
||||
{% details "What is the difference between Home Assistant SkyConnect and Connect ZBT-1?" %} Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1 is the new name for Home Assistant SkyConnect. Though it's a new name and look, they have the exact same hardware, capability, and support. We made this change to help make room for a new line of Connect products, specifically an upcoming Z-Wave Connect product. Going forward, whenever we mention updates or features for Home Assistant Connect ZBT-1, this will also apply to SkyConnect-branded devices. Retailers will continue to sell SkyConnect-branded devices while supplies last, and we would encourage you to purchase whatever is available as they are functionally identical.

|

As part of our efforts to bring Matter to Home Assistant, we're now focused on ensuring that the Thread experience will catch up and become a first-class citizen, making it easy to connect to your Thread-based Matter devices in Home Assistant without a third-party Thread border router. The Thread firmware is already fully functional under the hood, but we still have some work to do to make the experience of using Thread-based devices in Home Assistant feel good. Once the experience has improved, we will recommend using this Thread firmware to power your Thread network as an alternative to using third-party Thread border routers from Apple or Google.

<b>Multiprotocol will remain an experimental feature and is not recommended for use. </b>
|
||||
<br /><br />
|
||||
When we launched Home Assistant SkyConnect, we announced our intent to release firmware supporting multiprotocol, which allows the device's Silicon Labs chip to connect to both Zigbee and Thread networks with one radio. <br /><br />
|
||||
This experimental firmware has been available since December 2022. Through extensive testing, we have found that although it works in some circumstances, it has technical limitations that lead to a worse user experience. We now do not recommend using this firmware, and it will be experimental for the foreseeable future. Instead, we will focus on making sure the dedicated Zigbee and Thread firmwares for Home Assistant SkyConnect deliver the best experience to users.<br /><br />

Nothing changes for current users of the multiprotocol firmware who are happy with their experience. The experimental multiprotocol firmware will remain available, but we will not recommend it to new users.{% enddetails %}
