ZB-GW03 eWeLink Ethernet Zigbee Gateway is a spiritual successor of the ITead Sonoff ZBBridge
It features an ESP32 chip and a wired Ethernet port (instead of the older ESP8266/ESP8285 and WiFi).
The Silicon Labs EFR32MG21 based Zigbee SiP radio module it uses is the exact same “SM-011 V1.0” modules and Zigbee firmware by CoolKit-Technologies that ITead Sonoff ZBBridge board uses.
The good news it that Tasmota community member cronyx has now hacked it with Tasmota ZBBridge firmware (using same process as hacking Tead Sonoff ZBBridge) so can be used either with Tasmota32’s own Zigbee2Tasmota (Z2T) to MQTT implementation or as a remote Zigbee coordinator adapter with native Home Assistant ZHA integration.

Update! syssi has now also got ESPHome working on it with serial stream server componant from oxan:

If you think of it as an ITead Sonoff ZBBridge clone with ESP32 and Ethernet for Tasmota then you should perhaps also be able to get further tips and ideas reading guides from @digiblur → How to use the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge with Home Assistant - Tasmota | digiblurDIY and Zigbee2MQTT with the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge | digiblurDIY

Disclaimer! I don’t own a ZB-GW03 myself so I have not hacked it, but I collected this information so far:
ZB-GW03 v1.0 and ZB-GW03-V1.2 is apparently sold rebranded under many names, including as EACHEN eWeLink ZigBee Smart Hub (zbbridge pro) and SmartWise brands Zigbee Bridge Pro:

Looks like it used the exact same “SM-011 V1.0” module by CoolKit as ITead Sonoff ZBBridge uses:

Tip:
Know that the “SM-011 V1.0” module by CoolKit is based on the great EFR32MG21 SoC by Silicon Labs (Silabs), but unfortunatly this specific “SM-011 V1.0” module by CoolKit (as well as the first Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle by ITead which is likley also design by CoolKit engineers) are known for being extremely susceptible to electromagnetic interference due to lack of RF shielding, and a relatively poor antenna design that has not been properly tuned in hardware for that specific integrated PCB antenna.
Because of this, you want to make sure to keep this Zigbee gateway away from other electronic appliances, especially other devices with WiFi radios, or other sources of EMI (electromagnetic interference) such as live electrical wires, etc., as well as try to place it in an optimal location a little bit away from walls, ceilings and floors built with dense building materials.
As always try to as soon as possible to add at least a few mains-powered Zigbee devices closer to the Zigbee gateway than wireless Zigbee devices so that mains-powered Zigbee devices can act as Zigbee routers for wireless Zigbee end-devices.
