The RF-star, an IDH of Texas Instruments, has recently released a Zigbee 3.0 Dongle – RF-DG-52PAS based upon TI CC2652P. The chip is a multiprotocol wireless SoC featuring a 48MHz Arm® Cortex® M4F processor, a 352KB in-system programmable flash memory, an 8KB cache SRAM and an 80KB ultra-low leakage current SRAM. It integrates a power amplifier and powerful peripherals, and is currently TI’s most powerful chip that supports Zigbee.
The Dongle RF-DG-52PAS is developed over CC2652P+CP2102. Supporting ZigBee2MQTT, ioBroker, Hass and other smart home platforms, it can be used as a Zigbee 3.0 coordinator or a router. Customers can burn it with a Z-Stack3.x.0 coordinator firmware, thus to connect it to a computer or a Raspberry Pi. They are also allowed to connect it with the Home Assistant or other open source smart home platforms through ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. One can also burn it with a router firmware to make a routing device that expands the range of the network.
Since RF-DG-52PAS can be connected to the Home Assistant with ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, it is capable of controlling all Zigbee terminal devices in the network. One do not need to buy Zigbee hubs of different brands. This dongle alone just suffices.
