Does what it says on the box

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Ordered the item after seeing it on zigbee2mqtt.io
Nifty little device, it's doing what it's supposed to do wonderfully. I am using it to control some IKEA smart things.

Peter | Jan. 14, 2021

Great all round!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great all round, speedy delivery, simple clear instructions for firmware.

Many thanks, will be recommending to my friends :-)

Evan | Jan. 14, 2021

Excellent little stick

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

This arrived quickly and was a breeze to set up. Documentation was clear and easy to follow and once I had the necessary firmware flashed on the device it was pretty much plug and play.

I really appreciate such a robust device being made available for a reasonable cost.

Tim | Jan. 13, 2021

Works really well.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I’m using this in Zigbee2mqtt. Works like a charm, much better than my old zigbee setup that’s for sure.

Robin | Jan. 13, 2021

Quick shipping, product works as advertised, recommended

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Using it for a fairly large Zigbee network, spanning a 3 story house. Quality is much improved compared to older dongles.

Jaap | Jan. 11, 2021

My ZZH has been running for a few weeks now, all is fine.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I am using this stick for Zigbee2MQTT, running on Homeassistant. It took me a lot of work to get this running. But that is what the christmas holiday is for! Took a while to get the stick ( 10 days), but I guess it's related to the busy delivery services. In the end all is well, all my Zigbee devices have been connected for a few weeks now. No isssues.

Tomas | Jan. 11, 2021

Well documented

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I was amazed by quality of documentation for this stick. It covered exactly use cases I needed, therefore I saved me lot of time experimenting.
The only hard times I had was to convince Home Assistant Zigbee2MQTT to connect this stick. But after 4 hours of experimenting with different /dev/ttyWhatever, it started to work (don't know how).

Vadim | Jan. 11, 2021

great device!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Excellent device, perfect for zigbee coordinator role. Easy to setup, good documentation, very reliable in operation.

Minghui | Jan. 10, 2021

非常实用

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

所有配对的设备多是稳如泰山毫无差错，中国是开放的中国，欢迎来中国制造家庭智能。

Mario | Jan. 8, 2021

really good service and good device, thanks!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Got my zzh shipped in 2 days, really good service!
Documentation is fantastic.
For Home Assistant OS user + zigbee2mqtt: the usb device in the documentation is indeed right (on rpi4) . The device from the host in mapped in the containter as /dev/ttyUSB0 by docker, even if it has another name in the host.
Thanks!
And I have a lama head instead my laptop windows logo now :-D

Ricardo | Jan. 8, 2021

overall the experience was good

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great product!!! Using it with zigbee2mqtt and domoticz. everything went good using the supplied documentation when flashing with coordinator firmware. recommended.

Klas | Jan. 8, 2021

Finally - no glitches...

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I have been using a Conbee stick for quite some time for home automation and every now and then a light/socket/switch would lose connection to the network and stop working (until I have done a power-off/power-on). This is extremely annoying and not a good thing for family acceptance of home automation....

After switching to this stick all these problems seems to be gone and it also seems to be "snappier" in response!

I am very satisfied with this stick.

Baptiste | Jan. 6, 2021

Easy to setup - great performances

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I use it with Zigbee2MQTT and Aqara devices. It works flawlessly for more than a month now. The range is great. Every zigbee device has been responsive, no more latency with door sensors for example. I also tried ZHA with Home Assistant but I prefer using Zigbee2MQTT to keep things separated. I would recommend it for zigbee networks with 10 to 50 devices without a doubt. I can’t tell for bigger networks as I didn’t test it.

Remko | Jan. 6, 2021

Seems to work great, fast and range is good.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

PostNL delayed the package for about 4 weeks, no blame to Electrolama, he even send us a mail about the problems with PostNL.

Just tested with 24 devices it seems to work more responsive and a good range.

Seid | Jan. 6, 2021

Fantastic service!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I had a issue where the first package was lost by the danish postal service. When I contacted Omer, he was VERY serviceminded and helped me shipping a new device over to me. So can only recommend purchasing from here!

James | Jan. 6, 2021

Better than CC2531

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Stronger signal than CC2531, better link quality. Faster response to commands sent. Neat case, better than bare CC2531. Good communication from seller. Recommended👍

Andy | Jan. 6, 2021

Could not be better

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Absolutely great little stick. I'm using it for Zigbee control with Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT and it has worked like a dream from the off.

In addition, the communication and shipping was excellent too - I really cant fault them for anything.

Highly recommended - actually already have.

Anton | Jan. 5, 2021

Awesome stick for large zigbee network!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I have purchased this stick to replace my CC2531, with CC2652 now i have stronger signal than before and connection for some sensors became more stable.
I am recommending this stick if you are going to build large zigbee network.

Melloh | Jan. 5, 2021

Great product and seller

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great product and seller!! Shipping to The Netherlands took very long but that was because of PostNL. The seller kept me informed about the actions he did to speed up the shipping process. I definitely will do business again with him.

Wouter | Jan. 5, 2021

nice product for a nice price.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Shipping took long, but that was to be expected with Covid.
ElectroLama did a LOT to help us, and was on top of everything.
good communication, lots of effort from his side, lots of work must have gone into the tracking alone already.

Jonathan | Jan. 5, 2021

Just great!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Best purchase 2020 for me! Working perfectly, great range cover. Not faild me once. Replaced my old crappy cc2531

Ralph | Jan. 5, 2021

Issues with local post, but good effort and communication

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Horrible service by local postal service. Seller pre-emptively communicated and kept in touch. Above and beyond.

For the product itself. No issues and the manual is correct and extensive.

Would recommend.

Bart | Jan. 4, 2021

5 stars

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Awesome product and from a friendly seller who offers a lot of support and customer service for his product.
Shipping took a while but that was due to PostNL.

Igor | Jan. 3, 2021

Excellent

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Very good product. Shipping was ok, considering pandemic and brexit. Stick works ok, I am controlling about 30 zigbee devices via zigbee2mqtt and home assistant. Flashing was easy. In conclusion, I woul recommend this stick to anybody.

Armando | Jan. 3, 2021

Great product overall!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I received my zzh without a problem! The documentation is easy to follow, and I was able to add zigbee protocol to my domoticz automation system

Nathan | Jan. 3, 2021

Perfect partner for Zigbee2MQTT

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Infinitely better than the cheap $5 USB dongle and proven more reliable than the Conbee II. Well worth it.

Rob | Jan. 3, 2021

Got it working after issues with shipping and integration

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Shipping to the Netherlands in the Christmas period was a big issue because of the Dutch postal services being completely overloaded by the number of shipments during because of Christmas and the lock-down in the Netherlands.

Electrolama has spent a lot of time to investigate why the shipments didn't arrive and advised me (and about 110 others) on the best way for reaching out to the Dutch postal services (PostNL). A big thank you for that! After Christmas, PostNL finally found time to catch up and about 3.5 weeks after arrival in the Netherlands, the package arrived in my mail box.

Programming the USB stick with the Z-stack 3.x.0 firmware was easy, but then a 2-day challenge started for the replacement of our Ikea Tradfri hub by the RF stick. It would have been great if the Z-stack software would give some kind of feedback when being inserted into a USB port and when pairing is permitted. It took a full day to discover that the ZHA integration wasn't working for me. Probably because I couldn't find a way to specify MQTT credentials. Eventually I ended up using the Zigbee2MQTT add-on. Only then I started seeing MQTT messages coming in by using MQTT Explorer.

It took quite some attempts to pair my Ikea light bulbs, Zigbee repeater and Fyrtur cover with the RF stick. Resetting the bulbs with the six times off/on sequence and restarting Home Assistant did the trick. But it took many attempts to successfully complete the Zigbee interviewing process. The pairing started working better when I moved the bulbs a bit further away from the RF stick's antenna during the pairing sequence. About 15 cm instead of 5 cm.

It wasn't easy, but it looks like everything is working fine now. Now it's time to slowly start expanding my Zigbee network with additional devices without having to buy additional brand-specific gateways.

David | Jan. 3, 2021

Better than my old cc2531

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Better range with the antenna and more devices without reconnection. I use it with home assistant/zigbee2mqtt on a rpi4

Dennis | Jan. 2, 2021

Zigbeestick on steriods

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great upgrade from my old c2530 stick, my 50+ devices all stay connected now and since installation everything works like it suppose to work. The support is awesome since we (dutchies) have a little trouble receiving packages from postnl and Omer let us all know what he did to help.

Great little stick

J | Jan. 1, 2021

Perfect product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Zzh! stick looks well designed and works as described in the complete and clear documentation.
It was shipped a couple of days after order, as indicated.
Unfortunately dutch postal service PostNL caused a shipping delay of almost 5 weeks, but this was completely out of Electrolama's control and Electrolama went out of his way to try getting the delivery process unstuck and provided fast replies after inquiry, as well as regular updates.

Mark | Jan. 1, 2021

Awesome product - Delayed due to PostNL - Good communication

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Yesterday, 31 December, I finally received my zzh which I ordered on 18 November.
However, this long delay was entirely caused by the Dutch postal service, PostNL.
The product was shipped within 2 days after I placed the order, and arrived in the Netherlands 6 days after.
During the long wait Omer sent two extensive emails explaining the situation, kudos for that!
@Omer: I hope that apart from all the time this issue has cost you, you don't suffer any financial consequences caused by people claiming a refund.
@everyone affected by this issue: Just wait, yes it is taking a long time, but it is entirely PostNLs fault, and eventually they will deliver the package.

The process for flashing the stick and replacing my CC2531 for usage with zigbee2mqtt was quite easy.
I would definitely recommend anyone who wants to use zigbee2mqtt to skip trying the CC2531, and directly buy the zzh!

Tino | Dec. 30, 2020

Works like a charm.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

2 sticks delivered to Croatia in a week, safely packaged, with basic flash Led firmware. Followed documentation on site to flash needed firmware. Testbed RPi4, Z2M paired to dozen of various manufacturer devices like switches, dimmers, plugs, lughts, motion and door sensors. Range adequate not noticeable pairing/connection issues so far.

Raivis | Dec. 27, 2020

Very usefull and nice

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great little thing, works excellent.

The only hiccup was with installing the firmware. On first attempt it was not clear to me that I have to put the device in flashing mode (even tho it was mentioned in the documentation). With little tinkering I understood that the stick is not empty, but has firmware that blinks the led and so I need to set it to flush mode to get proper firmware on it.

A bit of tinkering and all was solved. Works excellent!

Wojtek | Dec. 25, 2020

Does the job!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I had a CC2531 stick that was working fine but I read all the amazing reviews on the zzh so I wanted to give it a try.

It was easy to flash. It works. All my devices could be paired.

This is what I expected from it and I am very happy. Having only 8 devices, I cannot comment about how it runs under load, some of them are quite far away and they are reachable (they were also with the stick).

What really set it apart for me was how easy it was to flash. No need for debugger devices like for the CC2531, just plug it in in flash mode and you are done.

I recommended it to a friend that was getting into Zigbee.
