Page 6: Overview
ZigBee network control and monitoring. Basically, the RaspBee is a reference design for the ZigBee radio module deRFmega256- 23M12 by dresden elektronik. 2. Applications Mainly the RaspBee is designed to handle ZigBee 3.0, ZigBee Light Link (ZLL) and ZigBee Home Automation (ZHA) applications in connection with the RaspBee ZigBee firmware and RPi software deCONZ. -
Page 7: How Does The Raspbee Work
RaspBee is used on other base boards than the RPi. The onboard placed radio module deRFmega256-23M12 by dresden elektronik contains an 8-bit AVR microcontroller with an integrated low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver for ZigBee and IEEE 802.15.4 applications. -
Page 8: Quick Start
User Manual RaspBee – ZigBee addon board Version 1.6 2017-12-10 Communication between RPi and RaspBee is established via UART interface by using a proprietary protocol. The application protocol frames which are used by the deCONZ application to communicate with the microcontroller are encapsulated in the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP). -
Page 9: Requirements
User Manual RaspBee – ZigBee addon board Version 1.6 2017-12-10 1x Instruction leaflet 4.2. Requirements The RaspBee is designed to work on a Raspberry Pi. In general all actual available types of RPi will work with the RaspBee. However we recommend RPi type B, RPi2 and RPi3 with assembled Ethernet components. -

Page 21: Assemble The Service Header
Modification of the pre-allocated EEPROM memory sections or removal of the pre-installed bootloader will irreversibly preclude restoring, booting or upgrading the shipping firmware at all. dresden elektronik will neither support such modifications (see Section 6.2 for details). 11.2. Using an external antenna External antennas will be often used if an improved radio characteristics performance is needed or the device is put into a metallized enclosure. -
Page 22: Radio Certification
User Manual RaspBee – ZigBee addon board Version 1.6 2017-12-10 Notes: The use of antenna types other than the listed approved antennas will cause in loss of the FCC certification. Regard the notes in Section 12.3 to work with a custom antenna in respect of CE and FCC requirements. The pre-installed ZigBee firmware does not support the 2 antenna port. -
