Hi everyone.
I bought a zigbee smart plug and i would like to control it without Home assistant or anything special.
I found a blog post, just what i need, but the code is hard to understand for me( i’m a programmer, but i’m lost in the zigbee protocoll). As far as i know i need a special firmware for the CC2530 module, or not?
Can someone guide me to the right direction?
You must log in or register to comment.
What ESP 32 board do you have? What Zigbee shield do you have?
Check out zigbee2mqtt, this allows you to get rid of whatever zigbee hubs and directly control devices from home assistant.
Install zigbee2mqtt in docker then. Zigbee doesn’t use WiFi so you need special code to control it. Seems like you may have bought something without understanding what you were getting. You’re probably better off with a tplink WiFi plug or Bluetooth or something. Or buy an Alexa with zigbee built in and just use that.
If that doesn’t answer your question, maybe give us some more info on your end goal and we can try to help.
