The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 is a low-power IoT (Internet of Things) controller board designed based on the ESP32-C6 chip, making it suitable for smart home projects. The ESP32-C6 features a high-performance 160MHz RISC-V 32-bit processor, supporting communication protocols such as Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee 3.0, and Thread 1.3. This enables seamless integration intoIoT networks with various communication protocols.The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports multiple power supply options, including Type-C, 5V DC, and solar charging for lithium batteries managed by a solar power manager, which optimizes the power usage and ensures efficient energy management, providing a range of choices for deployment.
Multiple transmission protocol support to expand wireless connectivity
Boasting support for multiple communication protocols, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 expands wireless connectivity options. By supporting Wi-Fi and Thread protocols, it enables the creation of Matter Wi-Fi terminal devices and Matter Thread terminal devices, facilitating seamless communication and collaboration among multiple systems and platforms in smart home setups. Additionally, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 supports BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) and Zigbee communication protocols, making it suitable for use as a Thread border router, Matter gateway, or Zigbee bridge when combined with other MCUs.

Support Wi-Fi 6 to realize ultra-low power consumption IoT devices
With Wi-Fi 6 support, the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-C6 enables the realization of ultra-low-power IoT devices. As the first Espressif chip to support the Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) protocol, it offers improved network capacity, allowing devices to operate efficiently with low latency. Moreover, Wi-Fi 6's Target Wake Time (TWT) technology effectively reduces device power consumption, extending battery life and ensuring long-lasting device performance.

Project 1: What do you need for personal smart home based on the Matter network?
Introduction As technology advances, smart homes have become an integral part of our lives. Among all the smart home solutions, those based on the Matter network are gaining popularity due to their openness, interoperability, and security. So, what do we need to set up a Matter-based smart home system?
Project 2: How to Connect ESP32-C6 to the Matter Network
Introduction In this guide, we will use the FireBeetle ESP32-C6 to create a smart light bulb and integrate it into a Matter network.
