Supported Zigbee adapter #
Zigbee2MQTT supports a variety of Zigbee adapters, the full list can be found here. What adapter to chose depends on your requirements in terms of price, size, connection (USB vs GPIO) and network size. However most users can use the following rule of thumb:
- Small network (< 20 devices): Texas Instruments CC2531 (requires additional hardware to flash firmware, see Flashing the CC2531)
- Large network (20+ devices): “zig-a-zig-ah! (zzh!)” adapter by Electrolama OR the “CC2652RB stick” by slaesh
Flashing the adapter #
Before your Zigbee adapter can be used with Zigbee2MQTT it needs to be flashed with a custom firmware. This process varies per adapter and is described on the Supported adapters page. If an adapter provides both a router and coordinator firmware, use the coordinator firmware.
