Low cost Zigbee hardware

[nmjb18]

Hi,

Recently I have been looking at Zigbee coms for a project. FC supports the 'EB0512 Zigbee E-block' which implements the Digi XBee series of hardware. The E-block is over £80 and the Digi XBee modules are £30+. The beauty of the IoT or network connected devices is that they can collect data from nodes placed everywhere and in anything, but at £30+ a go this is not viable...

The ESP32-C6 apparently supports Zigbee and is low cost, could we look into including this in the ESP32 libraries? Alternatively the Chinese XT-ZB2 module is £2 with onboard RISC processor.

Please can you look into supporting low-cost Zigbee.

Thanks,

MB

Hello,

Many thanks for letting us know, that is certainly very insteresting. I'll see if I can get my hands on a few of the C6 devices to give this a go for you.
