1. Local Setup of ZBBridge-U
To manage the ZBBridge-U locally, power on the device and connect it to your home router using an Ethernet cable. Make sure that ZBBridge-U and Home Assistant are on the same local network.
Open your preferred web browser and visit the local web panel at: http://zbbridgeu.local/
Alternatively, you can access the panel using the IP address assigned to the gateway by your router.
The local web interface is fully responsive and optimized for different devices, making it easy to access and manage from a smartphone or tablet as well.
When you enter the interface for the first time, you'll be guided to set the time zone and create a password for future logins.

After signing in and completing the setup guide, you'll be taken to the Home page.

The Home page highlights the core functions of the gateway and clearly displays the device synchronization status.
Devices are grouped into four categories based on how they are added:
- Zigbee
