I think his point was something to sense zigbee? Would be nice to set it in your house and bridge your power meter, water meter, whatever, onto your wifi. Coul

I think his point was something to sense zigbee? Would be nice to set it in your house and bridge your power meter, water meter, whatever, onto your wifi. Could have it incorporated into your budget app live. "huh, no dinner out this week, better turn down the heat!". And if anyone figures outbhow to use that NPU you could even do some inference to get some trends or something. Or even a classifier that could detect a short or water leak perhaps.

Hmm. I dunno radios (skipped that class way back in college). I'm guessing that although 802.11 and Zigbee use 2.4 Ghz, you might need 2x radios physically tuned for the correct frequencies, and listening at the same time. Looks like channel 1 802.11 is different than channel 15 Zigbee for instance, so bridging the two might need two different radios. So you'd need a 802.11 radio + Zigbee Radio working as a team (even if ESP32 has enough CPU power to handle both, there are likely physical limitations to radio designs). And I'm pretty sure that the radios use more power than the microcontroller in any case. ------ In any case, there seem to be many 802.11 to Zigbee bridges already available. So you should only attempt the project as a learning experience.
