What Is Zigbee?

Zigbee is a wireless standard enabling low-power, secure connections between smart devices. Widely used in home automation for devices such as thermostats, sensors, and locks, its energy efficiency allows some devices to operate for years on a single coin cell battery.

One of Zigbee’s biggest advantages is its local nature – no need for cloud subscriptions or even an internet connection. Everything stays within your home, ensuring high security and resilience against internet outages.

Top brands like IKEA, Philips Hue, Tuya, and Sonoff offer Zigbee-supported devices. This allows you to combine products from various manufacturers into one smart home setup, ensuring you’re not locked into a single vendor – brilliant!

With an indoor range of 10–100 metres and extended outdoor coverage, Zigbee’s mesh networking ensures reliable communication, even if some devices go offline. Its robust security features, including encryption and key protection, safeguard your smart home and keep it under your control.

A bit overpriced in comparison of most other BME680 sensors available online but with this one, you're sure it's working with the Adafruit libraries. I had this issue when buying 2 BME280 sensors from China, one of the two was actually a BMP280 in stead of BME280 so, it couldn't work with the library even if written on the article description as compatible.

Love the BME680. Very easy to install and the Example files are great for getting started. Have found out from this Pimoroni Forum post : https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/bme680-air-quality-low/6293/9 that the whole AQ subject is very complex, however It's a really interesting topic and one that I am looking forward to understanding better! I'd assumed that it was only detecting VOCs (volatile organic compounds) but there's a hint that it might be detecting other gases. (I'm using a Breakout Garden pHAT with PiZero W, BME680 and 11x7 matrix to show an AQ score.)

I appreciate the thought put into the design of this board. It is nice that the pins line up with the GPIO, it’s easier to assemble and more presentable to have around the house. I also appreciate that their software has a “try” statement that looks for an Adafruit addressed chip as well as this Pimoroni one, since I have a mix of both around. Very good product, very much recommend it!

The board is high quality and easy to mount (on a featherwing proto) - note to Pimoroni (perhaps you could develop sensors already mounted on featherwing format?). The driver software is a little harder to get working than I expected - still can't see have to get the AQI (air quality index) as an output from the Bosch library or through the wrapper Adafruit library.

I am glad I lived long enough to see this awesome technology! I was a bit out of practice with the soldering iron but even I managed to sort out the connection to the Raspberry Pi. It is now being used to monitor the environment in conjunction with a ground source heat pump via Home Assistant. Thank you very much!

Very nice all in one sensor for most basic Environmental sensors. The Air Quality sensor (Gas Ohm resistance detection) does take awhile to stabilize (at least 20 min on first start, about 5 for ones after that). It might get better as I use it more, as I only used it for about 12 hours.

Up and running in minutes after a false start but recovered quickly owing the prompt technical support. Good excuse to refresh minimal soldering skills. Robust module supersedes previous models. Temperature (with humidity) sensors are a dime a dozen, the barometric sensor is an added plus but the air quality sensor is the deal breaker for the price.
