Just wanted to tell you guys about the availablity of our cod.m ZigBee Coordinator with Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB functionality.
It is available throughout Europe from our Webshop in PoE and non-PoE variants:
We are a small german company specialized in mainly open source hardware and general IoT as well a Web and Infrastructure development. Some years ago I started designing hardware for customers and open source hardware for our own Webshop (CC-BY-NC-SA, codmpm (Patrik Mayer) · GitHub). Maybe some of you know us from our WLED Controller (GitHub - codm/wled-controller: cod.m WLED Controller (Wi-Fi/WLAN)) or know me from Twitter (x.com).
We tipped our toes into the ZigBee world with some smaller Raspberry Pi pHat’s with a CC2538 and now CC2652. In 2022 we developed the first version of a ZigBee Ethernet Coordinator. You can read up on the history on developing our coordinator and what challenges we had to face in my Blog: Der lange Weg zum cod.m ZigBee Coordinator – allgeek techblog (german)
The new Coordinator is based around the ESP32/LAN8720 as many other coordinators. We use our own fork of the UZG firmware (GitHub - codm/czc-firmware: Firmware for cod.m Zigbee Coordinator) and try to give the self-developed features back to the community.
Currently using Koenkk’s ZigBee 3.x Firmware for the CC2652P7. Thread Support for that chip is planed and we will update the Coordinator Firmware with new functions from upstream or that we self develop.
Our Hardware is designed, produced and assembled in Germany. Including CE, WEEE and RoHS.
We also wrote a very detailed german and english documentation at Übersicht - cod.m Knowledge Base (DE) and Overview - cod.m Knowledge Base (EN).
Also we try to give our best regarding personal support.
it’s finally here: The CZC firmware V2.0 for the cod.m ZigBee Coordinator is ready.
There are still some rough edges here and there, but it has been running without problems in tests over the last few weeks.
Unfortunately, due to a bug in V1.0, the update is not offered automatically, but you have to explicitly install the version. However, this can be done with the push of a button.
Under System and Tools > Firmware Update, you can press the button Install latest from Github for ESP32 update which will ive you the current V2.0
!! Attention: Of course, stop the host application (zigbee-adapter) before the update. The update does not change the config or the CC2652P7. After that, the host application continues to work normally.
If there are any problems with the migration of the existing configuration - which had not occurred in our test - you can do a factory reset. Again, nothing is changed on the ZigBee chip.
You can also use the webinstaller to restore the V1.0 via USB… or the V2.0 if there are problems with the update via the web interface.
UZG is no longer in development and has been completely integrated into XZG. We want to get the current XZG features into the CZC-FW as soon as possible.
And of course our improvements will also flow back into the XZG.
