I am planning to use a Pico W to manage a six-zone heating system, written in MicroPython. As part of that, I need to be able to read a room temperature sensor in one room, and to control two TRVs. I have found suitable Zigbee models for these functions.
Is the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge all I would need to be able to poll a Zigbee temperature sensor, and to tell each Zigbee valve whether to be open or closed?
As this needs to run 24/7, power consumption is a concern (along with cost) so I am looking for the lowest spec Zigbee interface that I can get away with, as long as the programming isn’t really horrible.
