EFR32-Based Coordinators

TubesZB EFR32 coordinators use Silicon Labs EZSP (Ember) radios and expose the Zigbee interface over TCP (Ethernet/PoE) or USB depending on model. These models work with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT.

Start here

If you are setting up your coordinator for the first time, begin with the Getting Started guide for Zigbee coordinators.

ESPHome configs moved

ESPHome YAMLs in this repo are kept for historical reference and are not expected to compile with current ESPHome versions. Use the ESPHome Builder manifests when available.

ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT Setup

ZHA setup uses the EZSP radio type and connects over TCP or USB.

ZHA over Ethernet: socket://IP_ADDRESS:6638

ZHA over USB: Use the /dev/serial/by-id/... path shown in Home Assistant Hardware.

Zigbee2MQTT over Ethernet:

serial:
  port: 'tcp://IP_ADDRESS:6638'
  adapter: ember

Zigbee2MQTT over USB:

serial:
  port: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_TubesZB_XXXXXXXX-if00-port0'
  adapter: ember

Zigbee2MQTT firmware requirement

Zigbee2MQTT requires EFR32 coordinator firmware 7.4.x or newer.

Firmware Updates

ESP32 firmware updates now use the TubesZB ESPHome Builder and the device web UI or the ESPHome Web Flasher. The standalone ESPHome Flasher app is no longer maintained.

See Coordinator Firmware Updates for the current workflow.

Legacy Settings and Jumpers

Legacy EFR32 settings and jumper references are documented separately.

See EFR32 Legacy Reference.
