Milestone

arunshivaram commented Jan 17, 2025

This was one of my #circuitpython2025 requests. Filing a issue to track this.

Context:

Being an already power efficient board compared to the other dual core ESP boards(S3, S2 etc), I thing this board would benefit from a low power connectivity solution like zigbee, as wifi is a notoriously power hungry connectivity solution.
Adding zigbee support to the c6 would be very beneficial in battery powered use cases (for environmental monitoring, home automation etc) as every mAh counts in such scenarios.

Prior work:

I noticed there were earlier discussions about adding zigbee support on the NRF52 boards and I wasn't sure if the SW stack implementation was an issue there that prevented it from getting implemented
In the case of C6, esp-idf does seem to have support for zigbee and has few examples here. I am not sure how feasible and practical this is, but I feel like this might be a great addition to this power efficient board.
