Hi, This is a continuation of this thread Best framework for long range setup , but I have made it a new topic as the selection of stock qualifies for a new discussion. I have been looking at zigbee sticks - the Zigbee2MQTT page lists some compatible sticks, that also seem to compatible with most …

Randomly it became unstable again later - where almost none of the devices was working.

Strange behavior. Let me contact you directly to check all together.

looked at post 83 and after typing in ls /dev/serial/by-id/ changed serial: port: /dev/ttyACM0 to serial: port: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB2.0-Serial-if00-port0 following error message Zigbee2MQTT:error 2021-09-16 17:47:10: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman Zigbee2MQTT:error 2021-09-1…

You are sure you wew on version 1.21.1 already? It seems an error you would get on an older version.

I’m on 1.18 - there’s no update warning. So 1.21 is the current version.

Yes, is looking good(but too big), the same chip used in ZigStar USB Stick. Not understanding for what is used this metal, because CC12652P is not heating at all.

Looks like I have to repair everything - kept coming up with an error requesting I change pan_id - so I have and now it works but I have to repair each device. My question is can I use the Zigstar coordinator with cc2530 router.

[image] stepea: 2530 rout Yes,you can you,first thing what you will pair will be CC2530 Router and then the rest of devices.

Best most powerful zigbee stick?

No price announced yet but this might be an inexpensive yet powerful coordinator (also based on TI CC2652P).
