This has been a long time coming 😵‍💫. And I’ve been testing it myself for a few months with no issues. 🚀

If you already have 1 or more of the more recent TubesZB zigbee coordinators or zwave kits 2023 or later with radio pcb module), you can purchase with just the case and new “bridge” pcbs to update existing hardware and a new ESPHome firmware. If you already have both you can use the now extra Olimex ESP32-PoE as a BT proxy or just as a spare!

Better product photos coming too 🙃

Looks great, but what is this for? 🙂 Thanks un advance

the flasher is for easily re-flashing prebuilt firmware to devices. It removes the step of downloading a file and then utilizing a local flasher or web.esphome.io. simplifying support. repo also auto builds new binaries and can create static ip firmware builds via an issue template and related action.

would it be possible to use this as a bt proxy as well?

@grizzled ginkgo Yes however not recommended as adding another 2.4ghz radio so close to the zigbee one would not be ideal. It is ESPHome based so anyone can take the yaml and modify it as they wish.

got this in the mail earlier this week and got it working with zwave ui js and zigbee2mqtt today
