Has anyone tested this esp32 c6?
Matter/Thread/zigbee… Sounds interesting

ESP32-C6 zigbee2mqtt

Hello all! I tried to look up something, but most of the post are old that’s why i decided to create a new one. Recently i bought ESP32-C6-WROOM1-N8 boards and from what i understand they have zigbee support. Did someone managed to connect the new esp32-c6 board with zigbee2mqtt and report sensor data?

I have had success with the XAIO ESP32C6 and ESPHome. It is still not natively supported, but I was able to find a config that works well. Hoping to build a custom component for a Zigbee proxy. Here is my ESPHome Config

esphome:
  name: esp32c6_proxy
  friendly_name: ESP32C6 Proxy
  platformio_options:   
   platform: https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32.git#v6.7.0

esp32:
 board: esp32-c6-devkitm-1
 variant: esp32c6
 framework:
   type: esp-idf
   version: 5.2.1
   platform_version: 6.7.0
   sdkconfig_options:
     CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_4MB: y

  # Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails

For anyone interested in order to get debug output (via esphome) this needs to be added:

logger:
  hardware_uart: USB_SERIAL_JTAG

to configuration yaml.

I connected a JSN-SR04T ultrasonic distance sensor and temperature/humidity sensors to a XIAO ESP32C6 board to measure the water level in a tank, and successfully transmitted the data to Home Assistant via Zigbee2MQTT. I wrote the code in Arduino. I’m happy to help others who want to do similar projects.

Would you mind sharing that? I have a similar to-do to detect water in my attic due to a slow leak

I made a post like this the other day was crossing my fingers someone would help me lol @boash thanks for your contributions! @boash will be a great help!

Also why hasnt anyone try to make this thing connect straight to apple home, its 100% possible just dont know how as im new to esp32 this is day2 for me. So im just asking the questions to see why some prefer esphome, and others prefer alternatives means of connecting. Not to mention i have esp32-c6 n8 & n16 board which add more to the learning curve of being mostly unsupported and under documented by the community.

_{End goal
-Learn Esp32 C6
-Make working mmwave sensor with esp32 C6 + LD2410C (A version using matter/thread, zigbee, & esphome (i want to do the digging and investigating as im new to all of em)
-Wire it up to be powered via electrical wires from my lights}

[zodyking (ESP-Home Developer)]

yes please that would be a help, i plan on doing a similar thing for my rabbit cage, he has a gravity feeder for food and water this would be nice, but today im working on an mmwave sensor if you could help that would be amazing!

what i got

• Esp32-c6 n8 & n16
• LD2410C (MMWAVE Sensor)

Bought a bunch of each lol
