SMLight SLZB Zigbee Coordinator

The SMLight SLZB is a Zigbee coordinator: the radio your Zigbee devices, such as leak sensors, vibration sensors and scene buttons, talk to. Sensa needs one before it can use any Zigbee device.

How it connects​

The SLZB plugs into your van's network by Ethernet. It announces itself on the network, so Sensa finds it without you entering an address.

Add to Sensa Nomad​

Open Settings, choose the Devices tab, tick it under Discovered and press Add Selected Devices. If it is not there yet, press Scan.

Sensa then sets up Zigbee to use the coordinator for you. There is nothing to configure and no password to enter.

See Adding devices for more.

What you see​

Once the coordinator is added, press Pair Zigbee on the Devices tab, then the pair button on your Zigbee device, and the device is added to Sensa on its own.

The coordinator is there to carry your Zigbee devices, so the readings you use day to day come from those devices rather than from it.

Good to know​

  • Give it a fixed address on your router, usually called a static lease or DHCP reservation. Its address is stored in the Zigbee settings and is never chased automatically, so a coordinator that moves has to be put back by hand. See Network planning.
  • If every Zigbee device stops answering at once, see Every Zigbee device goes unavailable at once.
