Chip recommended for new Zigbee designs

Dmitro Balo

NRF Connect SDK (v2.8.0), VS Code, NRF52840

Hi,
while reading the Zigbee documentation I saw the following note:

"Support for Zigbee R22 has been deprecated in nRF Connect SDK v2.8.0 and it will be removed in one of the future releases, following the deprecation policy. As a result, the nRF52833, nRF52840, and nRF5340 SoCs are not recommended for new Zigbee designs. Experimental support for Zigbee R23 is available for the nRF54L Series as an nRF Connect SDK Add-on."

We want to develop a new device that will use the Zigbee protocol, and we planned to use the NRF52840, but it is not recommended for new designs. Does this mean that in the next revisions of the nRF Connect SDK (after v2.8.0) the NRF52840 will still have support for Zigbee R21? Also, based on the description here, for new chips (54L) Zigbee support is still not implemented or is at the testing stage. That is, at the moment there is no chip that fully supports Zigbee and for which new Zigbee revisions are planned to be implemented in the future?

    Hi, 

    According to the deprecation policy (https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/releases_and_maturity/software_maturity.html#api_deprecation)
    "The deprecated API will be removed in one of the future releases, no earlier than two releases after the deprecation is announced and only when the code has transitioned to not using the deprecated API".
    The deprecation of Zigbee R22 was announced with the NCS 2.8.0 release. That means the latest NCS release - 2.9.0 - includes Zigbee libraries and fixes. Also, the next NCS release - 3.0.0 - will include Zigbee support.

    After NCS 3.0.0 release Zigbee R22 libraries will be removed from NCS releases. Support will still be available via DevZone.

    For nRF54L15 we already released Zigbee R23 experimental support as a part of nRF Connect SDK add-ons. Zigbee R23 implementation is operational but not optimized and not certified.
    More details regarding Zigbee R23 will be shared in the coming weeks.

    May I know the volume of your production?
