#Which firmware should I use?

Hi, I am trying to make a ZigBee as coordinator and another router. Let them communicate with each other, but I think both ZigBee cc2530 don't have any flashed firmware. Any advice which firmware should I flash into it for both ZigBee.

Project scenario like this:-

  • The upper part will have a dropper, an ultrasonic, a esp32 with one ZigBee.
  • the bottom part will have a vibration part with a esp32 with another one ZigBee.

So when a button is triggered, the dropper will release a ball and activate the ultrasonic, when the ball hits the vibration, it will send the stop signal from bottom ZigBee to upper ZigBee to terminate the ultrasonic. That's the current scenario. (I am trying to get the freefall time)

hm ok.

Why would this need to be zigbee at all to communicate. All this would add is latency

There is some work being done on supporting ZigBee in esphome (via a third party component right now), but only on ESP32 chips with built-in 802.15.4 radios (e.g. ESP32-H2, ESP32-C6) and no coordinator support as far as I can see.

I have one of those boards the OP has, but gave up after I took a look at the SDK. All very archaic especially if you want to use it as an actual device and not just a radio for another controller.
Yeah can’t wait for ESPHome to support Zigbee. Very curious what kind of battery life you can get out of a ESP32 C6 Beetle on a Zigbee network as a sensor or button panel etc.
