Zigbee2mqtt which adapter

Hi everyone, which adapter would you recommend for zigbee2mqtt
I would also like to use an additional antenna.

Depends on your budget.

The LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 and LAUNCHXL-CC1352P-2 are way more better then the CC2531 or CC2530, but also way more expensive.

Money is no object to me. What is important is that it works … otherwise I have to buy 2 times, which does not help. I assume that the CC26X2R1 must be flashed as well, right?

what do you think of deconz with a conbee 2

They all need to be flashed. I have no experience with deconz.

Is there a nice case available for these?

There´s a link in the zigbee2mqtt site


(the last one).

I recently ordered CC1352P-2, I did get it working easily according to instructions.
Don´t have an external antenna yet and just testing with a couple of devices.

Managed to 3D-print the case also and board fits nicely in it - though I have concerns about
if and when the board heats up in the use

I tried the conbee 2 and it didn´t work for me
