Popp's USB Zigbee adapter is designed for use with a PC, laptop or small computer (such as Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone, Odroid, Orange Pi, etc.). It is based on the SiLabs EFR32MG13 chip, which is an IEEE 802.15.4 / Zigbee 2.4 GHz microcontroller.
The USB Zigbee adapter is pre-programmed with the Network CoProcessor firmware and provides a USB interface via the CP2102N USB-UART bridge. When plugged into a computer, it displays as a serial port.
With a growing number of Zigbee devices: Philips Hue, Osram, Iris, Ikea Tradfri, Xiaomi Aqara and others, it is interesting to use these products for Do It Yourself scenarios.
Using the USB Zigbee adapter, you can communicate directly with these devices, using programming languages such as Node.js, Python and C or using ready-made plugins for different home automation platforms.
