It has 540 installs sharing analytics and was last updated October 22, 2026. Silicon Labs Multiprotocol is an app that runs Zigbee and OpenThread on one Silicon Labs wireless adapter. It targets SONOFF dongles with Silicon Labs chips, such as the ZBDongle-E, which first need MultiPAN firmware flashed. For Zigbee, the MultiPAN firmware is built on a newer EZSP version than ZHA supports, so the app is used with Zigbee2MQTT, which is pointed at the app's hostname. For OpenThread, it can act as an OpenThread Border Router, which Home Assistant should discover automatically; this support is described as experimental. A web interface is available only when OpenThread is enabled, and it is meant for debugging. It needs Home Assistant OS, runs on armv7, aarch64 and amd64, uses the host network, and has access to USB and serial devices.

Container and Core installs cannot run them. ## Supports - **Actively maintained**: Its author released or pushed a change in the last six months. ## Setting it up Add its app repository under Settings, Apps, then install and start it. ## Permissions - **Host network**: Uses the host's network directly instead of its own. - **Extra system rights**: Asks for privileged Linux capabilities. - **Hardware access**: Can reach USB, serial or GPIO devices. - **Supervisor API**: Can talk to the Supervisor, which manages apps and the system. ## Configuration - **Device**: The serial port where the Silicon Labs radio is connected to. - **Baudrate**: The serial port baudrate used to communicate with the Silicon Labs radio. - **Hardware flow control**: Enable hardware flow control for serial port. - **Network Device**: Host and Port when connecting to a device via sockets (takes precedence over above configuration). - **Automatically flash firmware**: Automatically flash Multi-PAN firmware on Home Assistant SkyConnect (WARNING: flashing the original EmberZNet is a manual process currently) - **Co-Processor Communication tracing**: Enable tracing for the Co-Processor Communication daemon. - **Enable OpenThread Border Router**: Enable OpenThread Border Router agent. - **OpenThread Border Router agent log level**: Set logging level of the OpenThread Border Router agent (otbr-agent). - **OTBR firewall**: Use OpenThread Border Router firewall to block unnecessary traffic. ## At a glance - Kind: App - Number: 540 installs sharing analytics - Connection: Connection not stated - Upkeep: Updated in the last 6 months - Needs: Needs Home Assistant OS - Runs on: 32-bit ARM, 64-bit ARM, x86-64 - Latest version: 1.0.2, last updated October 22, 2026 - Source: Independent directory, made by the developer of Vulpo.
