Part Number: CC2630

There exists a Z-STACK-ARCHIVE solution for the CC2630 / CC2650 devices supporting the Zigbee HA 1.2.2a Specification.  However, this software is not recommended for Zigbee project development due to the following reasons:

  • As of right now, the Zigbee Home Automation profile is deprecated and only Zigbee 3.0 solutions may be certified by the Zigbee Alliance
  • Z-STACK-HOME was released in 2015 and will not have any further updates as support of the profile has ended
  • The flash memory footprint of these devices only support Network Processor (ZNP) and End Device (ZED) roles with limited space remaining for additional application development
