Key differences between Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro and YoLink Hub

A summary of selected recorded differences between these hubs. Check the full specification table below for details and conditions.

Feature differences among your selected devices

Ethernet (connectivity): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — No; YoLink Hub — Yes (RJ45 network connector on the rear, with an Ethernet patch cable in the box).
SmartThings (integrations): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — Yes; YoLink Hub — No (SmartThings is not on YoLink's compatibility list for this Hub, and the YS1603 is not a Matter device).
Zigbee coordinator (protocols): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — Yes; YoLink Hub — No (The Hub hosts YoLink's own LoRa network at 923.3 MHz, not a Zigbee mesh).

Specifications to check side by side

Subdevices (features): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — 128; YoLink Hub — 180 (YoLink support states there is no hard limit and that a single Hub carried 180 devices without issues in testing, recommending a second Hub between 100 and 200 devices).
Bluetooth (protocols): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — For Setup Only (Official specs list Wi-Fi and Zigbee 3.0 only; Bluetooth is used just to add the bridge in the eWeLink app.); YoLink Hub — No (The technical specs list only two radios, LoRa at 923.3 MHz and Wi-Fi at 2412 to 2462 MHz).
Third Party Devices (protocols): Sonoff Zigbee Bridge Pro — Partially (Pairs SONOFF Zigbee devices and other brands' products labeled "eWeLink support"; SONOFF says other third-party Zigbee devices cannot be guaranteed on its limited hardware.); YoLink Hub — No (Hosts only YoLink LoRa devices; other brands reach YoLink only through cloud integrations (Alexa, Google, IFTTT, Home Assistant), never by pairing to the hub.).
