POPP ZB-Shield (Zigbee)

As nowadays a lot of companies have their Smart Home solutions with Zigbee, we have decided to create the a Zigbee Rasperry Shield. Using POPP ZB-Shield (Zigbee) you can directly communicate with these devices, without their default gateway, so you can build your own tailored for your needs application.

POPP ZB-Shield (Zigbee) is designed specifically for Raspberry Pi (1,2,3,4). It is based on EFR32MG1 SiLabs chip, which is a 2.4-GHz IEEE 802.15.4/Zigbee microcontroller.

POPP ZB-Shield (Zigbee) is preprogrammed with Network CoProcessor firmware and provides UART interface to Raspberry Pi to form and manage Zigbee network, as well as communicate with Zigbee devices easily.

Features:

• 2.4GHz globally recognised frequency
• Zigbee compatible microcontroller EFR32MG1 inside
• Size: 28×18 mm + 10mm RPi header
• Rx sensitivity: -99dBm
• Tx power: 13dBm
• Visual range communication: 200m
• UART interface with standard NCP commands from Silicon Labs
• Multiple plugins for openHAB, Home Assistant, Node-RED and other DYI platforms C, Node.js and Python libraries to build your own application
