Zigbee 3.0 Gateway Coordinator – Ethernet, WiFi, USB & PoE
Zigbee 3.0 Gateway Coordinator – Ethernet, WiFi, USB & PoE
Zigbee 3.0 Gateway Coordinator — ETH-52P (GW80-MQTT)
Take full control of your smart home with the ETH-52P Zigbee 3.0 Gateway Coordinator. Powered by the robust CC2652P/CC2652P7 Zigbee SoC and an ESP32 V3 WiFi SoC, this compact aluminum-alloy gateway bridges your Zigbee devices to your home network via Ethernet (PoE), WiFi, or USB — giving you maximum flexibility for any setup. Whether you run Zigbee2MQTT, Home Assistant ZHA, or OpenThread, this coordinator is ready out of the box.
Why Choose the ETH-52P Gateway Coordinator?
- Three Connectivity Options: Connect via 100Mbps LAN Ethernet (with PoE support), Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz, or USB — choose whatever suits your network layout.
- Powerful Zigbee 3.0 Performance: Built on the Texas Instruments CC2652P/CC2652P7 chipset, offering extended range and reliable mesh networking for dozens of smart devices.
- High-Gain 5dBi Antenna: The 115mm external antenna delivers exceptional wireless range throughout your home.
- Universal Smart Home Compatibility: Works seamlessly with Home Assistant (ZHA), Zigbee2MQTT, OpenThread, and virtually all Zigbee-certified smart devices — lights, sensors, switches, thermostats, and more.
- PoE Support: Power the gateway directly from your Ethernet switch — no separate power adapter needed when using a PoE-enabled network.
- Durable Aluminum Alloy Shell: The premium metal enclosure provides effective heat dissipation and long-lasting durability in a compact 96 × 19mm form factor.
- Flexible Power Input: Powered via USB Type-C (5V), making it easy to set up anywhere.
- Wide Operating Temperature: Functions reliably from -10°C to 60°C, suitable for indoor installations including utility rooms and network closets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the ETH-52P Zigbee gateway compatible with Home Assistant?
A: Yes! The ETH-52P (GW80-MQTT) is fully compatible with Home Assistant ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) and Zigbee2MQTT. You can connect it via Ethernet, WiFi, or USB and add it as a Zigbee coordinator in Home Assistant within minutes.
Q: Does this gateway support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
A: Yes. The ETH-52P supports PoE (Power over Ethernet), so if your network switch has PoE capability, you can power and connect the gateway using a single Ethernet cable — no separate USB power adapter required.
Q: How many Zigbee devices can the ETH-52P coordinator handle?
A: The CC2652P/CC2652P7 Zigbee SoC is a high-performance coordinator chipset capable of supporting large Zigbee meshes. When used with Zigbee2MQTT or Home Assistant ZHA, it can handle 50+ directly connected devices and hundreds more through Zigbee router devices in the mesh network.
Q: Can I connect the ETH-52P via WiFi instead of Ethernet?
A: Absolutely. The integrated ESP32 V3 WiFi SoC supports IEEE 802.11b/g/n 2.4GHz WiFi, letting you place the coordinator anywhere within your WiFi network range — no Ethernet cable required. USB connectivity is also available as a third option.
Q: What is the difference between the CC2652P and CC2652P7 chipsets?
A: Both the CC2652P and CC2652P7 are Texas Instruments Zigbee SoCs with integrated RF power amplifiers for extended range. The CC2652P7 is a newer revision with improved performance. The ETH-52P supports both variants, ensuring broad firmware and platform compatibility.
