Works beautifully, saves my Sengled bulbs from obsolescence, and local control = no outages
Originally I got one of these as a customer-support proposed improvement to controlling my Third Reality sensors & switches, and later added 3R smart blinds as well. It worked for that, bypassing 3R’s cloud services which seemed unreliable. I had little to no trouble setting it up and connecting it to Alexa and Home Assistant – and performance was dramatically improved.But it gets even better, elevating it up to 6-star territory. It also connects to my Sengled bulbs and plugs, after the Sengled platform started falling apart. With it, I was able to add all my bulbs and plugs, no problem. The Sengled devices actually work better with the bridge than 3R’s own Smart Blinds do. The 3R smart blinds still have issues getting detected properly into the Alexa ecosystem (e.g. one of the blinds doesn’t present any controls to Alexa but it’s present/detected, and controllable in the 3R-Installer app). But the fact that it works so perfectly with Sengled’s bulbs? Amazing. So, buying this bridge saved me from replacing a bunch of bulbs. I even bought another, to extend the Zigbee range between rooms.You only use the “3R-Installer” app with this thing, because Matter is a local system that’s totally different/separate from 3R’s proprietary cloud-based network. Everything you do on Matter stays inside your home, not using any cloud account. So the 3R-Installer app is used to glue the devices together and give you the info you need to pair the hub over to Alexa and other platforms. No other integrations (that is: you don’t use any 3R “skill” or integration with it). You just use Matter.

Very unstable and frustrating
I finally got this onto my network after two hours of trying. Went through the update process hoping that it would improve connectivity issues but to no avail. CONs: 1) The major drawback is that it wants to be connected to your MAIN network at 2.4GHz and not a subnet! This is a MAJOR security risk and seems like a SPYING DEVICE to me! 2) The more devices you connect, the more unstable and slow it becomes. I have 11 smart plugs connected and with each one added it got slower to control. 3) EVERY TIME I log into the device or try to control something it losses Wi-Fi connectivity… then spins and spins trying to reconnect. 4) Updates are very slow and need to be done manually on each device ONE AT A TIME. You would think that it would give you the option to at least update automatically at night, but no. I’ve had this device for over a year now and it only had two updates since. I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t check each time. Again, updates are manual. PROs: 1) The Matter connectivity to my Homey worked ok.I just don’t trust this device connected to my main network and not being isolated on a subnet. Until 3R gets its act together I would stick with the Smart Hub Gen 2 for straight Zigbee and forgo the Matter connectivity.3R generally has good products but the MZ1 is a major halfhearted rookie fail on their part.

It works pretty well, but not perfectly
Using this to tie in some plugs to Google, Alexa and Apple for voice control as well as my primary, home assistant. I was struggling to add it to Apple and Google after adding to home assistant, so I tried removing it from homeassistant and adding it to Apple and Google first and it worked great! It isn’t super fast and plugs have gone unresponsive at times, but they come back on their own. There must be a low power/sleep mode I don’t know about that sleeps the connections. Overall, I’m glad to have it so I can control my plugs vocally, but I do wish it was a little more reliable. I’d probably buy it again if I needed to.

You’ll need the 3R-Installer app.
The name was a bit strange to me, and it took some time to figure out what it was for. I used the bridge with my Apple HomePod and a few devices from Third Reality, and initially, it seemed like there was no need for this app at all. However, for one of my home automation setups, I needed to adjust the motion sensor cooldown time to turn off the lights faster. After some research, I discovered that Third Reality offers cooldown time adjustment in their latest firmware, which can be configured through the 3R-Installer app.The app is primarily designed to help you set up your device and configure initial settings, not for day-to-day use (since that’s the job of your main app like Apple Home). That’s why it’s named the 3R-Installer app. I wish someone had told me this earlier, so I wouldn’t have had to do so much research to learn it the hard way. But in the end, I’m glad the app was useful and solved my problem.

Vista l’impossibilità di collegare le luci ‘intelligenti’ alla relativa app, é stato piacevole averle viste collegate al router. Peccato che altre senza zigbee non sua riuscite a collegarle.

Worked good for me. I was able to connect this hub to Alexa and now I can use my third reality plant watering humidity sensors readings in Alexa routines.

Excellent product, all works perfectly. Without any issues, I was able to connect all my Thirdreality smart plugs to Apple home kit. One plug was in the basement and connection was established without any issues.
