Review of the SMLIGHT Zigbee/Matter controllers with Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant.

I take a look at the SLZB-06M (PoE Powered), SLZB-07, and SLZB-07p7 Zigbee and Matter controllers from SMLIGHT. I add them to Home Assistant in Proxmox, add a few Zigbee devices, flash OpenThread firmware and add a Matter device.
