🔵 1. Bluetooth Proxy over Ethernet
Supported SLZB U-series devices can now work as a Bluetooth proxy directly in SLZB-OS.
Your SLZB can forward Bluetooth advertisements to Home Assistant over Ethernet while continuing to operate as a Zigbee coordinator / Thread border router.

- Zigbee / Thread …

👋 We didn’t disappear - we were just busy building new things. 😅
Now we’re back, and for the next few days, we’ll share a new update every day.
🚀 First up: SMLIGHT SLZB-U2L - USB-to-LAN Adapter.
Many smart-home setups still depend on USB dongles plugged directly into a server. That often means poor radio placement, USB extension cables, interference, or keeping the server close to where the signal is needed.

🚀 SLZB-OS 3.2.6 (dev build) for SLZB-xU devices is out!
This release introduces a brand-new mode for all SLZB-xU series devices (e.g. with U suffix): “Thread + OTBR running on device” 🧵🌐
That means an SLZB-xU can run OpenThread Border Router (OTBR) directly on the device - a pretty unique setup in the DIY/HA ecosystem, and (as far as we know) not something you’ll find on other Thread radios in this form-factor. 🔥

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
