Unibody design 
Just to share that I received today my 1st devices (door/window sensors Mijia) and this is very nice. Status changes fast as hell, easy to include devices.
@Koenkk, @danielwelch and @h4nc combined gives a really big boost to my HA setup ! Really appreciated !

The stick I ordered arrived in my mailbox just before this weekend.
Now my old, naked stick is retired and replaced by this new one.
It looks really good and works excellent.
Thanks a lot @h4nc

I don’t know if I understand your question correct, but, yes you can flash an CC2531 stick as router.
And yes routers only need to be powered.
hi @h4nc
I seem have replied to the thread not @janna post. 
I was suggesting to @janna a use for their old retired bare stick
Thx 
BTW I have two bare sticks as routers myself
One I have done antenna conversion on successfully (although I can confirm the soldering quality is way off yours I have a degree in electronics… but not doing soldering much for a long time)
the other is in the queue until I have time.

Thanks @h4nc !
I have ordered and received a unit in 4 days. Plugged into my odroid c2 running HA. All good.
Nice antenna and case for the usb stick. Good stuff

I made a new Version of the RFlink. I call it the RFlink mini. It uses a Arduino Mega Mini Clone. As before RXB6 and Fs1000a modules inside.
I’d just like to add my feedback on the preflashed ZigBee stick: 1-2 days delivery to Italy, nice case and antenna, very good range, working flawlessly with zigbee2mqtt.
I tried the conbee II USB Stick before, both with deconz and zha, and I would definitely recommend this option instead.

I have some new premade sticks available.
Not yet finished, but this is how the IR version of the OMG devices will look like.
The esp32 version will support IR/RF/BLE/LED
Same for the Esp8266 version but without BLE.

Very nice @h4nc
Out of interest why not go for only ESP32? The cost difference is small between 32 and 8266.
Am I missing something?
@hijinx I started working on both options, because I had some stability issues with the ESP32. I tried to work this issues out with the developer and we found out that it must be something in my network (not the newest components, but works fine). It worked fine with a different router.
So yes I will probably only keep the ESP32 Version in future. Currently two more things on the todo for that device. Some more tests with IR and the transparent case. And some more fine tuning regarding the case.
Hi @h4nc,
Congrats for your great work. I am very interrested to got mine I don’t find how to send a MP, so i sent you an email … is it ok ?
Looking forward for your reply !

I bought a master and a router from Hans, which arrived yesterday, which allowed me to unplug my Xiaomi hubs.
Thanks to the installation instructions from following link: https://kingiacastle.com/2019/06/09/migration-off-the-xiaomi-gateway-using-zigbee2mqtt/ installation was relatively easy.
I have been struggling in the beginning with the paring of devices, but mainly due to battery issues. Even if the battery stands at 60% or 70% capacity it is not sufficient for the pairing. Putting in a 100% battery did the trick. I was then able to pair a first set of 8 devices.
Much much better than the Xiaomi hubs - I have finally the control over my Zigbee network.
Thanks Hans

good, seen from behind the antenna. still has left pin to middle pin connection when it shouldn’t have
I already cut the line between the first track and the second, and is giving me continuity with the multimeter when it should no longer. it’s normal ?
i did like this on the image on my pen zigbee as you can see on the image and i have continuity between the left and middle pin is normal?
