Fast shipping, good support

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I got a prompt support with answers when I flashed it with wrong firmware and locked the bootloader. Luckily I had the programmer so I was able to unlock it. The stick is now working great for a few months with RPi3 and HA via zigbee2mqtt. No problems at all. Good range. Will probably buy another one for additional experimenting.

Does what is says on the tin!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Currently using it with Home Assistants ZHA implementation and it is working surprisingly well.
Less latency than going zigbee2mqtt/hue hub <-> ha route. :)

Great little USB stick

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great little device, great communications and quick postage.
Not having used any of the zigbee USB sticks before I managed to get this up and running with Home Assistant and Zigbee2mqtt within a couple of hours (would probably have been quicker if I wasn't working on multiple things at the same time).
Would definitely recommend and buy again.

Useless

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The device is unusable with zigbee2mqtt. To get that stick started up proberly takes at least 2 hours while waiting moon phase to hit correct spot.. or something. It just always gives this error "(Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)".

Just want to warn that this device is not suitable to use with homeassistant + zigbee2mqtt.

Response from Electrolama | Feb. 7, 2021

Hi Kari,

Sorry to hear that you're having problems. We could have tried solving this over emails if you got in touch, shame you decided to leave a negative review instead.

I've developed this stick to be used with zigbee2mqtt (and Home Assistant) specifically as that is what I am running for my setup here. As far as I can tell the majority of all customers are indeed using the same combination of hardware and software for their setups as well (see reviews below). Therefore, your warning is not accurate.

If you're interested in finding a solution to your problem, feel free to email support@electrolama.com.

Great communication, great product!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great communication about the PostNL screw ups in my local country. Package finally arrived, and product works amazing! Thank you!

Kevin | Feb. 1, 2021

Great

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Even the product as the seller are great! Thank you (again) so much for all your help! The seller is really kind and searching for the best way to make their client happy! The product works really great!

A great little ZigBee stick - The Llama is excellent!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Got this to upgrade from a CC5321 which was struggling with my 20-odd devices.
Really well documented, both for custom apps, and for my common use case with Zigbee2mqtt and Home Assistant; setup took just a few minutes and it's running very smoothly.

Dror | Jan. 28, 2021

Excellent dongle!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I've been using a CC2531 for a while now, ever since moving away from SmartThings, and the dongle was a huge headache, with devices dropping from the grid, and repeated need to disconnect and reconnect in order to permit join.
Ever since I moved to the CC2652R, all my troubles are gone. All 18 devices are constantly connected, including some that misbehaved on SmartThings. Response is also immediate.
A really excellent buy!

Matthew | Jan. 26, 2021

Easy to use, great product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Came quickly and was a breeze to configure and get working. Bought to use with zigbee2mqtt. I had the stock flashed and working basically within 30mins.

And it came with a sticker and sweetie, can't fault the retailer.

Chae | Jan. 25, 2021

perfect.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Cc2531 higher compatible product.
It works very well while using in zigbee2mqtt.
You have applied and sent the inquiries and requests accurately.
Thank you.

Jean-Philippe | Jan. 24, 2021

Perfect HomeAssistant ZHA adapter

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Bough to replace an old EFR32MG1 adapter I bought couple years back.

This adapter works so much better, better response time from devices using the ZHA integration in HomeAssitant.

Shipping was quick, got it in less than a week from London to France.

Would recommend as the center building block of an HomeAssistant based Hue compatible hub.

So far so good! Zigbee on Home Assistant in Docker

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I knew it was small, but didn't quite realise how small until it arrived... it's tiny!

Works perfectly so far. Very impressed.

Am using it for Zigbee in Home Assistant.

1. Plug it into the Raspberry Pi 4 via a USB extension cable as advised, due to interference from the Pi's onboard WiFi
2. Install the Zigbee firmware via commandline on the Pi
3. Install Zigbee2MQTT docker container
4. Install Home Assistant MQTT addon and integration
4. Pair an IoT sensor/device and it magically just appears in Home Assistant

I have zero experience with Zigbee or Zigbee2MQTT and very little experience with Home Assistant but had the whole thing up and running in a couple of hours and now have lights on motion sensors plus a few other types of sensors I purchased recently.

Top job on the ZZH! Thanks.

Richard | Jan. 24, 2021

Works like a charm.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I bought it about 4 months ago. I'm using it with zigbee2mqtt. Flashing was easy, and it has been working very well ever since.

John | Jan. 23, 2021

Replacement for CC2531

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The zzh! purchase is to replace the CC2531 and with the excellent instructions and a little re-pairing, I have connections that never worked before. Certainly worth the change. Thanks

Philip | Jan. 22, 2021

Great product, good docs.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Well put together and thought out, arrived very quickly over the holiday period, which h was a bonus.
Would highly recommend this to anyone using Homeassistant with zigbee

Ismo | Jan. 21, 2021

Easy to use product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I got this product and it took me only 15min to get it in use. Documentations are very good and specific.

Alexander | Jan. 21, 2021

Poor signal quality

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I received the zzh! CC2652R with some delay, but this was expected and communicated on tindie.com. The device has a poor signal quality. I use the zzh! stick with a Raspberry Pi 4 and I use it with a USB extension cable in 1m distance from the Raspberry. Nevertheless the signal / reception quality is bad. In 5m distance and one wall between (same floor), the signal quality is already at 20, and in 8m distance and 2 walls between (same floor) the signal quality is 0.

I reported this issue twice to the support eMail of Electrolama, but no help/answer since 2 weeks.

Response from Electrolama | Jan. 22, 2021

Hi Alexander, I don't see any open/unanswered tickets about signal quality issues (nothing in our spam folder either). Are you emailing support@electrolama.com?

I don't have any means to get in touch with you here as Tindie reviews just show your comment as "Alexander" with no order number or email attached, if you'd like to get in touch please either send us an email or use the Tindie messaging facility.

Easy to install Zigbee-stick

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Easy to install Zigbee-stick for home assistant. Works fine! Shipping was quick. Product was packed well.
Documentation took a bit of reading for a noob :)

Pepijn | Jan. 20, 2021

Using this as a zigbee USB stick voor zigbee2mqtt

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I received the product in the expected time and it was packaged well.
I'm using the stick as an upgrade to the cc2531 stick. The zigbee communication is a lot more stable now.
It is very easy to install the right firmware, if you are used to playing around with this kind of stuff 😉

Robert | Jan. 20, 2021

Delivered faster than I expected

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Shipped at the height of COVID-19 when I was expecting it to take at least a month to reach me in the middle of nowhere.

Solid build quality too!

Hugo | Jan. 20, 2021

Excellent

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Brought the zzh! to use as a coordinator in my giant Zigbee network. An additional motivation to choose this board is the fact that part of revenue is donated to the owner of the project zigbee2mqtt, the master of universe: Koenkk.

Steve | Jan. 19, 2021

Excellent

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

A fantastic product. Nicely presented, easy to flash, and I got a free sweet!
Got the to replace my cc2530, as I had far too many items for it to cope, and it was failing constantly. I'm now up to about double the about I had, and the zzh hasn't let me down once. Highly highly recommended.

Marc | Jan. 18, 2021

This stick has been awesome

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Using the ZZH with Z2M and its been great. I originally had the Conbee II stick and it was nothing but trouble, now with ZZH, no issues at all.

Lubomir | Jan. 18, 2021

Great product to create zigbee network.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I use zzh as zigbee coordinator. It was easy to flash firmware and use. It has good range for my house which is one floor 13x14 meters, brick walls, concrete ceiling and floor. All devices works fine. One immax light behind several walls needs to use zigbee plug or another bulb as repeater. As I do not want to move coordinator closer to center I am happy with this mesh architecture of zigbee network and that this device supports it. I connected it to tronsmart r28 box running armbian linux, zigbee2mqtt, mosquito mqtt broker and domoticz home automation software. With domoticz I use zzh and rflink to control different zigbee and RF devices. From android phone running termux, python and paho mqtt python module connected to mqtt broker I turn of zigbee plug to stop charging when phone is charged to 85%. I am satisfied with this product.

Wassim | Jan. 18, 2021

Excellent product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Everything runs as expected and described. Flashed the firmware and the device is running on zigbee2mqtt with more and more devices without any issues (currently 25)

Tamas | Jan. 18, 2021

Excellent communication and shipping time.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The stick is also great, no issue with it. I use it with more than 30 zigbee devices with zigbee2mqtt.

Andrej | Jan. 18, 2021

Excellent dongle for Zigbee2mqtt

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I have been using this dongle for a month now in my Zigbe2mqtt bridge and had no stability issues whatsoever. All my devices were promptly recognized and I can reliably communicate with them.

Christian | Jan. 16, 2021

All fine

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works as expected. Fast delivery. Easy setup. Proper packaging. Good communication. Everything fine.

François | Jan. 16, 2021

Perfect no issue at all.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Bought it for zigbee 2 mqtt. Had no issue it's perfect.

Good product, good quality, good documentation would recommend

Matthew | Jan. 15, 2021

Excellent device, great price and a fantastic seller

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I purchased this device to replace my cc2531 as my zigbee network was starting to get too large for it to handle. This device is excellent, flashing it with the firmware is a little tricky but the seller was fantastic in his communication to help out! The signal range for me isn't any better than the cc2531 (which had an external antenna too) however the reliability of the devices is greatly improved and the response time is slightly faster. I love this device and would highly reccomend it to anybody! I use this device plugged into my Intel NUC running Proxmox with Home Assistant VM for my automations.

Wojciech | Jan. 15, 2021

Great device for home automation

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Very nice built and shipped surprisingly quickly given the current... situation. The documentation covered everything I needed and the stick works flawlessly since the setup!

Denis | Jan. 15, 2021

Perfect product. Works like a charm.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Migrated from cc2531. There was some challenges during migration and I have to rebuild all network from the scratch, but there is no issues since that. Everything works stable and predictable. This is just a magic to use it after cc2531.

Andrei | Jan. 15, 2021

Everything fast

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Fast delivery
Good packing
Easy to follow documentation for fast setup
Product working as expected with Home Assistant
