ETH-MG24 PoE Zigbee Coordinator for Home Assistant | EyZEE®

ETH-MG24 PoE Hardware The coordinator contains: Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 Zigbee radio Ethernet connection 802.3af Power over Ethernet USB-C power/data Dual external antennas (typically 5 dBi) Aluminium enclosure Local web management interface Firmware update capability through the web interface rather than requiring manual flashing. MG24 chipset The MG24 gives you: much more RAM much larger flash faster Cortex-M33 processor improved radio sensitivity designed for large Zigbee networks supports Zigbee 3.0 Thread capable (different firmware) For an installation with 150–300+ Zigbee devices, this is a much more future-proof platform than many of the older CC2652 or MG21 coordinators. Tested by EyZEE® We use the ETH-MG24 in our own development and testing environments to ensure compatibility with EyZEE® products. When you purchase from EyZEE®, you're buying hardware that has been selected, tested and supported by our Australian team. ETH-MG24 PoE Zigbee Coordinator Professional Zigbee Performance for Home Assistant The ETH-MG24 PoE Zigbee Coordinator is our recommended Ethernet-based Zigbee coordinator for larger Home Assistant installations. Designed around the latest Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 chipset, it delivers exceptional Zigbee performance, excellent wireless range and the flexibility of Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing it to be installed exactly where it provides the best coverage—not just beside your Home Assistant server. Whether you're building your first smart home or expanding to hundreds of Zigbee devices, the ETH-MG24 provides a stable and future-ready foundation. Why Choose an Ethernet Zigbee Coordinator? Traditional USB Zigbee coordinators must remain plugged into your Home Assistant computer, which is often hidden away in a cupboard or garage. Unfortunately, this is rarely the ideal location for reliable Zigbee coverage. The ETH-MG24 connects to your network using Ethernet, allowing you to install it in a much more central location within your home. This means: Better Zigbee coverage More reliable communication Improved mesh performance Reduced USB interference Simple installation using a single Ethernet cable If your network supports Power over Ethernet, that same cable also powers the coordinator—no separate power supply required. Designed for Home Assistant The ETH-MG24 works perfectly with: Home Assistant Zigbee2MQTT Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) Whether you're building a new smart home or migrating from another coordinator, setup is straightforward and well supported. Built Around the Latest MG24 Chipset At the heart of the coordinator is Silicon Labs' latest EFR32MG24 Zigbee radio. Compared with previous generations it provides: Improved radio sensitivity Increased processing power Larger memory capacity Better performance on larger Zigbee networks Support for the latest Zigbee 3.0 features This makes it an excellent choice for both residential and professional installations. Key Features Latest Silicon Labs EFR32MG24 Zigbee chipset Ethernet connectivity IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet (PoE) USB-C power option Dual external high-gain antennas Web-based configuration interface Easy firmware updates Excellent Home Assistant compatibility Zigbee 3.0 support Perfect For The ETH-MG24 is ideal for: New Home Assistant installations Large Zigbee networks Multi-storey homes Commercial installations Professional installers Users wanting the highest Zigbee reliability Why EyZEE Recommends It At EyZEE®, we test every product ourselves before recommending it to customers. The ETH-MG24 has impressed us with its reliability, excellent wireless performance and professional installation options. Being able to install the coordinator in the centre of a home—rather than beside the server—can significantly improve Zigbee network performance, especially in larger homes. Combined with the latest MG24 radio platform, Power over Ethernet and a simple web-based management interface, it represents one of the best Zigbee coordinators currently available.
