Low cost Zigbee hardware
Posted: Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:17 am
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
