Buying microcontroller devkits with Zigbee support

I was looking at a Nordic USB dongle for reasons entirely unrelated to Hubitat, and I noticed that it supports Zigbee. But the only times I've heard of this "Zigbee PRO", it's always been in relation to compatibility concerns.

I have no particular plans, but would I be safe in assuming that as long as I control the firmware I should be able to work out a Hubitat-compatible solution using this hardware?

Did you ever get this working? Looks interesting.

Here something similar, already mostly done.

TI CC2530 Zigbee board for firmware

Planning to try for a project I have on back burner.

I believe the author created router firmware for the TI zigbee chips. This is an offshoot of the Zigbee2MQTT project.

I have 3 of the CC2531 USB based routers (2 on HE, 1 on Z2M) and 1 CC2531 acting as coordinator on Zigbee2MQTT.

I also have 3 of the cc2530 + cc2591 (amped version) not in use yet.

Thanks. I would prefer to be able to write my own firmware. The IDE/SDK for most of the Zigbee SOC boards is very cost prohibitive. I am looking for low cost hardware and software, if possible. :wink:

I think you can download the TI firmware at little or no cost, you may have to buy a developer board kit. $50-$60
