Setup esp32-h2 zigbee

ESPHome
1

Hello guys!

I’m really new to this. I have an esp32-h2 mini. What I’m looking for is to implement this in esphome (Home Assistant). My idea is to connect it to ZHA. I’m going to use 3 digital signals (ON/OFF) from an external device that I want to make wireless over ZigBee to get these signals into Home Assistant. I’ve complained to ESP Home in Home Assistant and it feels like I’ve combed the net to understand how to install my esp32 card. Now to the problem. Once I’ve installed and flashed my card, it’s still offline. And I can’t find it in ZHA. So now my humble question is. Can anyone help me with a somewhat detailed instruction, step by step on how to do this successfully? Step by step of installation, YAML code, etc. Thanks in advance.

I have searched and read thousands of texts and instructions but haven’t found exactly one good instruction for this…

This is my YAML code in Esp Home HA.

esphome:
name: esptest
friendly_name: ESPTest
platformio_options:
board: esp32-h2-devkitm-1

esp32:
board: esp32-h2-devkitm-1
framework:
type: esp-idf

Esphome doesn’t have zigbee for your board. Literally for any board except experimental support for nrf52.

Thanks for answer…

Ok…

Getting so confused about this…
The update 18 June -25 says it has support for this card with ZigBee

4

You likely need to wait just little bit…
" Zigbee support is currently available only on nRF52 platforms."

5

So esp32 (esp home) doesn’t support zigbee?

Or the question is, is there any esp32 card with zigbee that esp home can handle?

6

Not at the moment.
More precisely, esphome handle the card with zigbee, just not zigbee feature of the card.

7

Ok. Understand.

Only WiFi at the moment…?

8

or ble, mqtt, open thread… some boards have ethernet…

9

I don´t really understand thread…

I have a c6 card to. What do you recommend for a beginner? Thread or WiFi?

Wifi of course. When zigbee matures, you can switch to that.

Ok. Thanks for all the help! :slight_smile:
Trying to boot up my C6 board and hope ZigBee will be implemented soon.

We all hope…
