dresden elektronik wireless RaspBee Premium - ZigBee addon for Raspberry Pi with Firmware

RaspBee has been developed as add-on board for the popular Raspberry Pi single board controller. The combination of Raspberry Pi and RaspBee premium (together with deCONZ for the Raspberry Pi and the ZigBee firmware from dresden elektronik) represents a LAN-ZigBee gateway.

The RaspBee "premium" version comes pre-flashed with a ZigBee firmware and is running up to 200 nodes. The shield allows direct communication with ZigBee devices like Philips Hue. With the included bootloader additional programming adapters are not required.

By using the RaspBee premium, the control software deCONZ (available for Raspberry Pi + PC) and the suitable firmware (free to download) from dresden elektronik, you can control up to 200 other ZigBee devices. More information related to deCONZ for Raspbian Linux can be found on dresden elektronik´s website.

Together with the ZigBee software deCONZ the Raspberry Pi is applied for e.g. wireless light control in buildings (ZigBee Home Automation).
