Wi-Fi + BLE + ZigBee + Thread + 6LoWPAN + HomeKit


Wi-Fi + BLE + ZigBee + Thread + 6LoWPAN + HomeKit = LilyGO T-Zigbee. At Just 10$, LilyGO T-Zigbee is the most jam-packed Multi-Protocol Wireless board. How is this achieved?


It combines Epressif's ESP32-C3 with Telink TLSR8258 Multi-Protocol Wireless SoC to achieve this. LilyGO T-Zigbee is best suited for making Protocol Bridges or Gateways.


Some Important Features:

1. Single USB Type C Port for Power & Programming

2. Along with 2x PCB Antennas, 2x u.FL antenna connectors are also provided (improve range with external antennas)

3. Separate DIP switches for ESP32 & TLSR for mode selection

4. Both ESP32 & TLSR GPIOs are accessible (with some limitations, of course)


There are some example code in this GitHub Link: https://lnkd.in/gBQz_9u2

You can try out the ZigBee2Mqtt bridge code.


As it's a pretty new board, as of now example code & documentation are available only for Wi-Fi & ZigBee Bridge. If you want to explore other radio features, you are on your own.

You might already be familiar with the ESP32C3 but not the TLSR8258 Multi-Protocol SoC. In that case checkout its datasheet here: https://lnkd.in/ghugjasm
