Hi I want to share my experience with the zigbee coordinator.
I have been using CC2531 for a long time.
- It was cheap
- With external antenna
- supported zigbee2mqtt and many devices
- was connected via a USB extension
Then, over time, it stopped working. It was always necessary to remove and insert the USB. It is now marked as an unsupported device on the official website.
I switched to CC2652p with 6dB antenna.
- I recomend
- signal stable
- light flash
- during the transition without problems. No device pairing was required. They all worked.
- but it’s so expensive once.
I use two more tradify routers from ikei and Webee CC2530 + CC2591. They work great.
