Review on πŸ“‘ HiLetgo CC2531 Sniffer Zigbee Wireless Packet Protocol Analyzer Bare Board USB Interface Dongle Capture Module by Eddie Curd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well, good value

Purchased to replace SmartThings hub with Zigbee2MQTT. I 3D printed a case for it and was able to modify the RP-SMA antenna to increase the signal strength. I flashed the Z-Stack firmware onto it using an ESP8266 board and some alligator clips. The pins are very small, so be careful not to accidentally short any connections. Zigbee2MQTT found this with no problems and I was able to add some lightbulbs and remotes with no problem.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires socket
