Never received the CC2652

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I never received the CC2652, the seller shipped it but local postal services messed it up. Seller did take action but could be a bit more pro-active in my opinion. Instead of sending out new items the suggestion was to wait until something may happen at the postal services and keep them asking why the package wasn’t delivered.

After more than a month waiting I was done with it (and the seller was done with me I think) and instead of sending out a new item they refunded my purchase.

Long story short, never received the item but at least I got my money back.

Хорошее качество связи и стабильность работы

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Использую zzh! CC2652R на Raspbery Pi 4 с Home Assistant и Zigbee2MQTT вместо CC2538. Качество связи намного лучше. Все работает 24/7 очень стабильно. Немного неудобно перепрошивать, но я справился. Я остался полностью доволен.

Cool device for my smart home system

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I was upgrading from cc2531, this stick is completely next level. I migrated yesterday, but I can see significant increase of network range, link quality values are twice better. Stick itself is well made, as its case and default antena.
Packaging was not very secure, mine was badly damaged, i've opened it with one finger, but device is really smal, so no harm done.
Shipping wasnt too fast. One month to Belarus, but this have nothing to do with seller.

Highly satisfied with product itself!

Works great with zigbee2mqtt.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works great with zigbee2mqtt. I upgraded from a CC2531 to this and it works great. I had to rebind my devices.

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.

Quick delivery

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Stick works like a charm. Easy to program and connect to Zigbee2MQTT ( in host machine) + Home Assistant (Hyper-V virtual machine).

Jeroen | Dec. 24, 2020

Great for home assistant!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Received the package in just less than a week (holiday period), so in my opinion that's really fast! Just installed it on my home assistant, the flashing instructions are very clear explained, and it connects even with the newest Lidl-smarthome stuff! Great work, many many thanks for it!

A happy customer :D

Aaron | Dec. 23, 2020

Good product, excellent communication

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I ordered the zzh! stick for use with zigbee2mqtt and it works like a charm, the device feels very good quality.
Even better the communication with Electrolama. Not only did they ship the device in just a couple of days, I had to contact them because an issue with shipping and they responded kindly and promptly.

Hisyam | Dec. 21, 2020

Super Fast Delivery

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Received 3 pcs zzh! CC2652R only took 3 days to received the items and works so great on HA Blue! Recommended!

Ben | Dec. 21, 2020

Excellent

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I am using it with zigbee2MQTT and it works very well. Extensive documentation made it easy to set up. Good communication from the store, and I was updated quickly about DPD some shipping issues. It took about a week to receive it here in the Netherlands.

Mark | Dec. 20, 2020

Good upgrade from CC253x USB sticks

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Order was delivered in 10 days from UK to California. Nice packaging including a sticker. Good docs on the website and everything worked first time with zigbee2mqtt and Home Assistant. I am getting better coverage with the included antenna.

Jonas | Dec. 19, 2020

Great product, fast shipping!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Item was shipped fast and arrived only 7 days later in germany, despite the virus and christmas chaos.
Works well, no issues so far.
Would definitely buy again!

Mike | Dec. 16, 2020

Simply Amazing

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

TLDR; Electrolama has a great product, great communication and fast shipping (DPD).

Electrolama contacted me because I derped with my phone number withing 24 hours. A Day later my sticks were shipped. Nad within a week the sticks were delivered. The documentation was well writen and easy to follow. Within 30 minutes my Home Assistant was up and running with the zzh! Coming from the CC2531 the differents is like night and day.

Johann | Dec. 14, 2020

Amazing Product and Customer Service

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Flashing the stick with the Z-Stack firmware was very easy. It seems to work reliably so far.

There was an issue with the parcel being misrouted by Royal Mail but Electrolama immediately dispatched another one so I didn't have to wait. Great customer service!

Richard | Dec. 14, 2020

Great Product and Fantastic Support

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I bought this to run zigbee2mqtt with about 100 zigbee devices. Flashing the correct firmware is very easy. Just follow the steps that are included.

I am in a ~2400sq/ft house with the coordinator centrally located. I use all types of devices (lights, contact sensors, switches, motion sensors, presence sensors) and manufactures (Hue, OSRam, Visonic, Smartthings, Aqara). There have been no issues with connectivity, speed, or range.

I do think that I should mention shipping. I originally bought this device back on November 29, 2020. On December 10, I noticed the tracking had not updated from when the seller originally shipped the device. I reached out to the seller where he calmly told me the issues he had been having with Royal Mail. I then worked with him and purchased another stick but used the expedited (Fedex) shipping to US. The seller had it picked up by Fedex within an hour of my order. It was delivered within 2 days. I am not sure if every one will get this lucky, but I will say the seller is on top of it. As for the other stick, I will turn it into a router (router firmware currently in development) whenever I receive it.

Great device and nice tinkering experience

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I ordered 4 December an it was delivered in the Netherlands at 10 December. Including sticker and candy!
I used tracked shipping due to the warning given on the website.

*extra tip to the already great documentation in zzh shop is to use numbered chapters to seperate the topics*
Before I started flashing and adding the device, I created a cut-and-pasted manual for myself.
The website is full of documentation and you need to read it carefully because all chapter names seem to be equally inportant and the same 'level'.
For multiple steps you need more sites so prepare a bit in advance.
Choosing your tool suite also has to do with what you have around. I wanted to build and flash straight on the target platform (raspPi3 with Domoticz) because it had Python3 on it already so I used something like this:
1. Check Drivers for CH340
2.Prepare Flashing using BSL
2.1 Choose Linux documentation
2.1.1 Download and extract cc2538-bsl
2.1.2 Install required dependencies
2.1.3 Flash zzh firmware
3. Install Zigbee2mqtt on Pi
4. Install Zigbee2MQTT plugin for Domoticz on Pi

The dongle picked up my Silvercrest wall socket almost immediately (10 meters apart through 2 solid concrete slab floors) so I'm very happy with the range and speed). I'll be able to extend, mix and use devices in the future and I am very happy with the product.

Atte | Dec. 11, 2020

Awesome!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The item was shipped promptly, in a nice bubble wrap envelope. Transit took a little bit longer than usual, but can't really blame the seller for COVID and Black Friday and whatnot...

The documentation on the project website is great, and the hardware works flawlessly. Needs new firmware flashed to actually do anything useful, but that's easy enough to do following the instructions, and doesn't require any extra hardware.

I bought this primarily for using Zigbee with Home Assistant, but the extra capabilities of the hardware should be fun for some tinkering later on. The software stack for using this with Home Assistant is great, so I really appreciate part of the proceeds being donated to the software author as well!

I don't really have anything negative to say... If you want to communicate with Zigbee devices over USB, this is the thing to buy!

David | Dec. 11, 2020

Fantastic bit of kit!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

It arrived super quickly and everything just worked right out of the box. Well made, nicely finished and gr8 customer after care - could not recommend highly enough for Zigbeetomqtt users! I also got an Electrolama sticker which is now on my Laptop ^_^ thank you so much!

Ioannis | Dec. 10, 2020

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works really well. Night and day difference compared to CC2531. Documentation is clear and on point.

Stéve | Dec. 9, 2020

Really great !

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I bought this product to run zigbee2mqtt in home assistant because I had some signal issues with the CC2531 stick.
The zzh stick is really great. I have no range issue anymore and the signal is fast!
I don't have a lots of computer skills but there are great informations to flash and integrate the zzh in Home assistant .
Moreover, I asked technical questions before buying the stick and I had great responses of the customer's service support in less than one hour!
Usually I don't let a comment following a purchase, but I really want to for this one.
This is a reliable company, with reliable products. Thanks to them.

The perfect Zigbee adapter for Zigbee2mqtt?

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I started like many others do, with a Texas Instruments CC2531 on a USB stick, and that was good, but it crashed a lot and forced me to regularly reflash it.

I then moved to the LAUNCHXL-CC26X2R1 and that showed to be a real winner (especially after flashing the 20201113 firmware) but this is a huge board, even bigger than my Nanopi M4V2 SBC that I have it connected to!

Then I saw the zzh!, which is the same chip as the one I was using (and same firmware) so I decided to get me one of these!

Moving from one to the other was just a matter of changing a few configuration settings, as it completely restored the automatic backup from one adapter to the other with no issues at all!

The only complaint I have is of the time it took from the confirmation of postage to actually receiving the item, but overall, I'm quite happy with this adapter and I do recommend it to everyone using Zigbee2mqtt!

Erinc | Dec. 8, 2020

Amazing Product

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Great product overall. Works flawlessly with my Home Assistant setup. Documentation steps are quite clear on how to flash the device. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Wj | Dec. 8, 2020

Got it (quick), flashed it and runs within home assistant

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Got ZZH to be able to connect zigbee stuff to my home assistant.
And it's working like a charme, got my first sensors running!
Next on the agenda will be to look into connecting Hue and IKEA stuff directly through the zigbee2MQTT option instead of the respective bridges.

Looking back I can say the documentation is clear and precise.
Where I did have a bit of difficulty?
- Flashing via laptop will deliver the same result as flashing from linux....!
- Figuring out which firmware to flash (turns out it's clearly documented in the ZIGBEE2MQTT chapter)
-- Tip to self: RTFM (and read it from beginning to the end)
- Figuring out how to get python and pip running and reachable on my laptop
-- Python was already installed but in an unexpected location, within my user directory under appdata/local/programs....
-- Long time since I last used the command prompt in windows... (Some of the MSdos stuff eventually did come back to me)

Grzegorz | Dec. 7, 2020

Everything OK!

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

The package was delivered quickly. In addition to the CC2652 Stick, the package contained a nice accesory (candy) :). Stick was delivered with a pre-programmed test program blinking LED. I bought it as replacement for CC2531. I easly flashed and ran it. Very good documentation. Works noticeably faster than CC2531. Thanks.

Iain | Dec. 6, 2020

Superb product and excellent support

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Absolutely love this device. Packaged extremely well and very well made. The instructions for flashing for use with zigbee2mqqt for homeassistant use were excellent. I had a little permissions problem using a raspberry pi and sent a support request which was answered very quickly but by then I had tried the windows option which was remarkably easy and sorted my issues. This was something specific to my system but great to know the support is there.

Performance wise I’m picking up a zigbee signal from a sonoff sensor in a freezer at -20 at the very opposite corner of the house and one floor away, it can’t get better than that really!

P | Dec. 6, 2020

Works fine.

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

No problem to get the stick programmed and to get it working for my Domoticz configuration.
Recommended.

Peter | Dec. 6, 2020

Works fine as zigbee coordinator

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Using it with zigbee2mqtt, bought to replace a CC2531 that seemed to be struggling. Took 2 goes at flashing it before it worked, but after that re-paired all my devices and everything works well. Nice that you don't need any other hardware to flash it, which probably makes it cheaper than a 2531 in the long run.

Csaba | Dec. 6, 2020

Above expectations

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

This is a really great product. I'm using it with zigbee2mqtt without any issues. It can easily handle and manage more than 83 zigbee devices.

Robert | Dec. 5, 2020

Quick delivery and works as described

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Setup with a Raspberry Pi and working well.
Documentation was quite easy to follow to setup, would be good to offer with an option to come pre-flashed though.

Daniel | Dec. 4, 2020

Great product for zigbee2mqtt and Home Assistant

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Well put together stick, using as a coordinator for zigbee2mqtt.io hooked into home assistant core.

I've Ikea / Hue lights, Ikea blinds, xiaomi sensors and some generic smartplugs connected up, over 30 devices in all, no lag and great performance.

Using a couple of ikea range extenders which also work well to ensure there is good zigbee mesh coverage.

Highly recommended

Krzysztof | Dec. 4, 2020

Everything in order

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Works as expected, flashed without any difficulties. Improved range and responsiveness of my ZB network over the CC2531 which is now used as a repeater :)

Michal | Dec. 1, 2020

Excellent upgrade from CC2531

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

Migration from CC2531 was very smooth and with my huge mesh it return the expected stability back to normal.
I also noticed better signal range.
Still sometimes network is slow to respond or loses some packets but it might be SW problem.

Overall great improvement and I would recommend it to everyone.

Markus | Dec. 1, 2020

Great product and great support

For zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick

I just wanted to say thank for creating this great zzh! CC2652R Stick. Flashing it is easy, it works like a charm and it has a good casing.
Had also contact with Omer directly and all questions got answered fast and kind.
Keep up the good work.
