Exelent quality

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The device works perfectly, fast delivery, the quality of the solder is exelent and although it does not improves the range over the older cc2531, the system is allot more stable. Iwould recomended 100%

Great little stick

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works great, been using it for a month or so with Homeassistant & Zigbee2MQTT.
My previous CC2531 worked okish for a few weeks then died - this works far better.

Adriano | May 7, 2021

Great!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The stick works perfectly, it is on an RB4 running on zigbee2mqtt. It recognizes more devices than Elelabs running on ZHA (my old one, even slightly faster, but support is nonexistent). Very good, I recommend.

Good Range easy installation

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Using it since weeks flawlessly on iobroker with the zigbee plug-in to control tradfri and hue devices

Jack | May 6, 2021

Great upgrade

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I upgraded from a CC2531. The signal quality is vastly improved. I had some stability issues with the CC2531 and the zzh! CC2652R has been rock solid so far. Works very well with Zigbee2Mqtt and Home Assistant. Was very easy to flash using Windows Server 2019 VM on ESXi. Don't hesitate to buy.

New home assistant user!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

New user of HA.. oh boy oh boy what did i open here! Been reading way too much about automation for a few weeks and i created many needs for myself ! One of them was been able to use Zigbee stuff. I just received the zzh! stick to canada and the shipping was very fast! (1 week to montreal). Flashing it with the instructions provided went smooth, HA now see the dongle. I just need to buy some sensors now ! Thanks.

Perfectly works with Home Assistant

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works perfectly with Home Assistant. I didn't ask more.

Before that, I was using a conbee ii and I got an issue when switching scenes (with 8 zibee lights changes), and some lights didn't get the update. Changin it to zzh fix the issue.

More I will trust more Open Source drivers. Also, zzh seems to be more robust with more elements in the network (even if I do not reach a big network like others).

I intend to use a second zzh at some point with an esp8266 to do a wifi/ZigBee watchdog and monitor that my network works well and always gets access to my home assistant (when I will have time. The idea is to report over ZigBee when wifi doesn't work and vice versa. The check would be regular ZigBee heartbeat from and to HA, same over wifi).

Fabricio | May 1, 2021

Really nice and perfect for my use case

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I'm using the zzh with zigbee2mqtt and homebridge to control devices thru HomeKit, the communication is fast and very reliable, it was very easy to use the documentation to flash the stick. I recommend to everyone that want's to use this with a RPi and Homebridge. The shipping from the seller side was very fast, it might get stuck in customs depending on your country, it took me a little bit more than a month to arrive.

Daniel | April 29, 2021

Worth the upgrade from CC2531

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Really worth the upgrade from CC2531. The signal is better and the devices are responding faster.
I'm using it with zigbee2mqtt with more than 25 devices.

Thomas | April 29, 2021

Great work

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Keep up the great work and fast delivery, in my case to Germany.
The device works like a charm.
Thank you!

Valentin | April 29, 2021

Hassle free

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Purchased it as my ticket into ZigBee world. Everything works as expected. Trouble free and reliable.
As I don't have any prior experience I can not compare to other similar products but I'd still say it delivers exceptional value.

Derk | April 27, 2021

Amazing. I love it.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

So much better than my old CC2531. With this I could switch again from deconz to zigbee2mqtt. ( ... ).

Ashley | April 26, 2021

Works perfectly

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Followed the linked flashing instructions and it's worked flawlessly since. The cc2531 it replaced constantly had issues, so this is a great upgrade.

Guillaume | April 26, 2021

Terrible Shipping

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Hello,
really disappointed!
Ordered on April 16 and 10 days later the package is still on its shipping site in London. France is really close to London, less than 800 kms from my home!
At the same time I ordered a SONOFF CC2531 USB Dongle on AliExpress on April 16th in China. It arrived on Saturday, April 24th, which means 9 days to travel 10,000+ kms.
And in 10 days your stick has not even done 10 kms apparently.

Aliexpress : 3€50 -> 10 000kms -> 9 days to home, with free shipping
Tindie : 35€ -> 800 kms -> 10 days to stay on site, waiting what ? with $13.00 for shipping !!!

It's not really serious, and Chinese products and seller seems to be really more efficient than europeans one :-(
And no information that justifies these 10 days of waiting, no information in the tracking either.

Really sorry to have to make this kind of comments but it becomes impossible to defend the European market when we see that the local market is not synonymous with performance and efficiency while we pay a lot of money for it! $13.00 shipping (vs free shipping for aliexpress) for a $30 item (vs 3,5€ for item Sonoff Zigbee2mqtt) !!!

I don't think I'll be ordering from your site again, and I certainly won't be recommending your services either, especially not with the high but not efficient shipping costs.

Response from Electrolama | April 26, 2021

Sorry to hear that your package has not arrived although if you would have gotten in touch with us (support@electrolama.com) we could have figured out what went wrong or sent you a replacement without the need for all this negativity.

We are still in the middle of an active pandemic and postal services are also having to deal with the complexities brought on by Brexit, things are moving a lot slower as a result of this. As you can hopefully appreciate, this is not something we have any control over therefore we have the shipping disclaimer/notice you can see above in the product listing warning potential buyers of the current situation. We deal with a lot of customer tickets on shipping delays and even replacements sent for lost packages, all it takes is a simple email sent to the right channel that is noted everywhere on this page and emails you would have received: support@electrolama.com

Comparing a much older product that comes with subsidised pricing and shipping to what you have purchased here simply because you haven't received your package yet is really not fair. If you are interested in finding a solution to your problem please do reach out with your order number and we will do our best to help you.

Pieter | April 24, 2021

It works!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Mathieu | April 23, 2021

Excellent product!...

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

International shipping like a charm!... easy to flash, highly recommended!
Using it with zigbee2mqtt with many devices, perfect!

Andy | April 23, 2021

Does the job for me!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I was running Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Conbee II stick. It was ok but as I increased devices to 30+ it started to get a bit temperamental so I decided to upgrade to one of these mini PC boxes. Got that, installed Debian, Docker and HA Supervised, installed Zigbee2MQTT, plugged the CC2652R in and away it went. Works perfectly in my average sized 3 bed house with 62 devices. I'd definitely recommend this.

Michal | April 22, 2021

Excellent product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I replaced my old stick CC2531 with this new which can communicate with more devices. Now my ZigBee network is more stable and without problems.

Nedelcu | April 20, 2021

Produc is ok

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Product seem ok from all points of view except one. I expected LQI of devices to be higher (this can be something related to my zigbee network not sure 100%) however I have to mention that ZHA network with Elelabs was more solid with the same settings I use now for Zigbee2MQTT. Don't get me wrong network works and all is ok except some devices relatively close to coordinator have very low LQI (usually under 20 LQI and sometimes under 10 LQI) that's the only complain. In rest product works great.

Dror | April 20, 2021

Simply works better than all others

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great design.
Best in class reception with the help of the external Antenna.
It is apparent that great detail went into the design of both the electrical and mechanical fixture.
Fully documented to help you get started as quickly and easy as possible.
Nice surprise, the most important part; The Lama sticker :)

Edy | April 20, 2021

great!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Shipment should be as option available (DHL or Fedex) because thru normal post service is very slow also in my country LOL

Ádám | April 20, 2021

Works as intended

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I purchased one for Home Assistant.
Documentation was easy to follow, and it works.
My aparment is kinda small 37 m^2, so range was not an issue for me.
Nothing else I can add. :D

Andrzej | April 20, 2021

If you are aiming for the router, pick a different product.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I've bought zzh! to use it as a router, to extend coverage. Before buying even contacted the seller to make sure everything will work, but never got any response.
And guess what, the router functionality is not working. You can flash the firmware without any problem, but the stick will not connect to the existing network, the coordinator does not see it. The problem is already reported on GitHub, but for the last three months, nothing happened ( https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/issues/260 ).
So, if you need a stick that will work as a router, look for another product.

Melle | April 19, 2021

What a bliss

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I moved from a cc2531 to the Zzh!
Very good move. What a difference.

I am building up the zigbee structure in the house, and I had to reset the cc2531 multiple times per day. Adding devices was barely possible otherwise.

This one, however, I flashed it and plugged it in.. Done.
Works fantastic.

And on a side note, but not unimportant, the build quality of the pcb is excellent.
It not only looks sturdy and well built, but it actually is.

And the tiny sticker. Awesome too.

Thanks guys. Job well done.
I ordered two, just in case, well.. Not necessary.

Cheers, Melle

Victor | April 18, 2021

Works perfectly with Homeassistant

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

This thing is magic. ZigBee integration with HA "just works".

Flashing was simple and no surprises at all.

Christian | April 17, 2021

Fantastic project

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works like a charm - thanks to the perfect documentation and the nice hardware.
It was really fun to setup my RaspberryPi with this stick and controlling lamps and powerplugs via mqtt.

Adrien | April 15, 2021

Awesome tool!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I bought the stick for some Zigbee tinkering and I couldn't be happier. The stability is perfect, the range is more than good, and I even got a little llama sticker with it :)

Jeff | April 13, 2021

Quick service, good product, easily programmed, reliable

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Arrived quickly. I bought it as a more capable update to the standard cc2531 running on a Pi4, I found it very easy to programme the unit for use with HomeAssistant using the TI programmer solution. Works fine, no problems.

Vladimir | April 13, 2021

Good stuff

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Flashed as described in manuals. Device works as expected.
Documentation is very good too. Thanks!

Sam | April 13, 2021

Excellent product and service

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Excellent product and service.
Quickly delivered and works as advertised and expected (purchased based on HA recommendation).

Niko | April 13, 2021

Works great, no problems with HA+Zigbee2MQTT with zzh!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

All in all zzh! has been working perfectly while using it as a Zigbee coordinator with HA.

Documentation was well made for easy flashing and setting up.

Pedro | April 13, 2021

Amazing product. Works perfectly!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

No problem at all migrating 30 devices from CC2531 in Home Assistant with zigbee2mqtt.
Recomended! Communication with seller was good too.

Laurent | April 13, 2021

Can not use on my config

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Hi,

Product Okay, working well when working alone (no other USB stick).

In my case, on my domotic box I get, RFL link, Zwave, mysensors, and zigbee.

Zigbee is okay with cc2531 But not with my zzh!.

Port unusable , symlink goes wrong because ATTRS{idVendor}, ATTRS{idProduct} is already the same than my RFlink.

Håkan | April 13, 2021

Works really well

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Zzh! + zigbee2mqtt and some IKEA and aqara units.
A bit difficult to pair IKEA units. This seem to be a zigbee2mqtt problem.
Works very well otherwise !

Delivery to Sweden was rather slow (~ a month). This is due to our privatized and dysfunctional postal service (postnord) and the customs office in Sweden.
