Closely following the development of the IoT trend, the potential of the smart home market is bound to be huge. In the current home assistant, a large part of the smart devices uses the Zigbee protocol as the communication network of the device, mainly due to the technical characteristics of Zigbee such as low power consumption, multi-node, and stable network performance. Among them, Zigbee 3.0 has become one of the most suitable network adaptation protocols in the home assistant with its unparalleled compatibility. Therefore, the CC2652R, CC2652R7, CC2652P, CC2652P7 SoCs released by TI are favored by smart home manufacturers.

Based on the CC2652P, Shenzhen RF-star Technology has launched 4 popular modules: RF-BM-2652P1, RF-BM-2652P2, RF-BM-2652P2I, and RF-BM-2652P3. This series of modules support Zigbee, BLE, Thread, and other multi-protocol operations to cope with various flexible application scenarios. It simplifies equipment and facilitates centralized management.

At present, ZigBee CC2652P is mostly mentioned as a gateway application. The CC2652P Zigbee gateway is the heart of smart home. It realizes the functions of system information collection/input/output, centralized control, remote control, and linkage control, so as to control home intelligent appliances. This kind of intelligent home gateway has two functions: a smart home control hub and wireless routing. On one hand, it is responsible for specific security alarm and home appliance control, Power consumption information collection. On the other hand, data interaction with intelligent interactive terminals and other products is carried out through wireless mode. Simply put, the intelligent gateway is the "control center" of all devices, which adopts ZigBee 3.0 protocol to connect all devices and unify access to the Internet and intelligent management platform to realize control, data exchange, and other functions. Moreover, the CC2652P module can also be used as router, coordinator, and terminal node equipment, which is widely used. With all these smart home assistants, audio and video equipment, lighting system, curtain control, air conditioning control, security system, digital cinema system, video server, video cabinet system, network appliances, and other household appliances can be connected together, which improves the living environment of a modern home.

Therefore, ZigBee technology will be more closely combined with smart home and real estate. In addition, ZigBee has made great progress in industry, telemetry and remote control, automobile automation, agricultural automation, and medical care. Besides the CC2652 series, Shenzhen RF-star technology has prepared other product lines of the TI Multi-protocol series. In the future, we will carry out more extensive and in-depth cooperation with original chip manufacturers such as TI, Silicon Labs, and Nordic. Coming soon!
