Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 (Wi-Fi 6, Thread, Zigbee)

The XIAO ESP32C6 is built for the new generation of smart homes. Its ESP32-C6 speaks four radios — Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth LE 5.3, Zigbee and Thread (IEEE 802.15.4) — so it can join Matter networks, act as a Zigbee sensor or bridge Thread devices to Wi-Fi. A second low-power RISC-V core keeps watch while the main core sleeps, and an on-board ceramic antenna can be switched to an external U.FL antenna for longer range.

Key features

• Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth LE 5.3, Zigbee 3.0 and Thread — Matter compatible
• Two RISC-V cores: 160 MHz high-performance + 20 MHz low-power
• On-board ceramic antenna with switchable U.FL connector
• Built-in LiPo charger and ≈ 15 µA deep sleep
• XIAO footprint: 21 × 17.8 mm, castellated pads
