@Derty1907 Hello!

@electrolama Hi

Announcing Electrolama Community Projects - have a cool idea and want to contribute to the Open Source Home Automation community? We'll send you free hardware to hack on! Terms and discussions at github.com/electrolama/co…

@DR_Trolle The chips themselves, hardware wise, support Thread and there is also firmware support for various roles in the TI SDK. Software support is not quite there yet AFAIK.

@electrolama do you support matter devices trhough Thread protocol? Can CC2652R act as a border router for it?

We're now on @electrolama" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">mastodon.online/@electrolama for our friends who're leaving Twitter.

@egelmex Very.

@electrolama soon?

zzh is finally back in stock! Unfortunately we're going to have to increase the price a little bit, as costs are increasing rapidly and chip supplies remain scarce. We'll keep old pricing up until the end of this week, grab one at a discount now at shop.electrolama.com/collections/us…

New batch of zzh almost here! We're not used to hot weather around here so things have been a bit broken these past few days, lots of "Operational Delay"s everywhere 🫠 Just the final hop now, join the waitlist if you'd like to get a notification: shop.electrolama.com/collections/us…

We've just run out of zzh kits but more are being manufactured as we speak -- photo of some fresh panels we received this morning attached. We expect to have them back in stock w/c 25/07. Join waitlist at shop.electrolama.com/collections/us…

One final screenshot before tearing this test setup down: Idle current consumption with no external devices connected. Min: 385mA, max: 480mA.

Probably worth mentioning that this is a stock Pi4, no heatsinks or fans attached.

It's pretty hot in London today, perhaps a good day to do some stress testing on the upcoming zoe2. Haven't yet pushed the PoE module to its limits yet but so far so good! Sensors used are INA260 and AHT20, connected to the Pi using the qwiic compatible connector on board.

@TheHomieFox1 Yes, boards are identical except for the limited run soldermask. Plastics will be different, of course.

@electrolama Is it the same hardware?

zzhp Collector's Edition. Limited to 100 pieces, individually numbered. Transparent plastics and a custom pink soldermask. Coming (very) soon! ⚡️

@copystring We'll be announcing availability and pricing next week.

@electrolama Price?

The cases for this batch are produced using vacuum casting a PC-like resin in silicone moulds made out of CNC'd masters. Threaded inserts fitted after finishing. MP plastics have no screws and won't be (fully) transparent. Some production shots from Shenzhen:

@sjorge PoE, RTC and CC1352P for dual band operation (Up to 20dBm at Sub-1GHz and 5dBm at 2.4GHz). External antenna (optional) is for Sub-GHz operation, 2.4GHz uses the PIFA on-module. Radio is the Ebyte E79 module.
