Mesh Bee MCU ZigBee Pro Module
Description
- 2.4GHz wireless transceiver with JN5168 microprocessor
- Range: Up to 30m (Indoor/Urban), line-of-sight: up to 100m (Outdoor)
- Interfaces: UARTx2, SPI, I2C
- Connectivity: Socket compatible with XBee
The Mesh Bee MCU ZigBee Pro Module is a 2.4GHz wireless transceiver. It's based on NXP's newly JN516x series wireless microcontroller chip and supports ZigBee Pro network stack. The factory firmware wraps the complicated ZigBee stack operation into a few easy to use serial commands, and drives Mesh Bee into a transparent serial communication node that can be part of a simple point-to-point connection or a complex mesh network. Moreover, Mesh Bee is totally open hardware and open source, which means that you can customize the firmware for your requirements.

I programmed it as a dimmer light and it connects to my Wink Hub 2 and stays connected. No issues. I didnt use the arduino IDE but instead went to directly programming with the NXP BeyondStudio and SDK. This is surely the more difficult route but I get the raw/power-user experience. No issues programming this board if you get the UartsBee v5 which I consider a must. NXP IDE+SDK is not simple, it's a bookshelf's worth of PDFs to read but is well documented and has many Home Automation examples which I played around with first. You might also want to look into a hardware debugger like JTAGKey2 or the Bus Blaster (not Bus Pirate) from Dangerous Prototypes if you are going to do serious work.
