In a world of connected products, compatibility and speed-to-market are key. Zigbee Development Kits from Trident IoT, available through Edge Electronics, give developers everything they need to design, prototype, and test Zigbee and Matter-capable devices quickly and confidently.

 

Why Zigbee?

Zigbee 3.0 has become one of the most widely adopted wireless standards for smart home, building automation, and energy applications.

It offers secure, bi-directional communication over a global 2.4 GHz network, supporting tens of thousands of nodes in a single system.

With broad industry support and bridgeability to Matter, Zigbee ensures the devices you build today will integrate seamlessly into tomorrow's connected systems.

 

Inside the Trident IoT Zigbee Development Kit

Built around the CM11 Zigbee 3.0 SoC, Trident IoT's DKNCM11C10‑02 Development Kit provides a complete platform for fast and flexible prototyping. Each kit includes:

  • Zigbee 3.0/Matter-capable radio board (DKR-CM11)
  • USB-C and Arduino-compatible host interfaces
  • Integrated SEGGER J-Link programmer/debugger for seamless firmware testing
  • Cross-platform software tools (Elcap™) and the Trident SDK, with reference code and cluster configurations to accelerate your project from concept to certification

The modular design allows engineers to swap between Zigbee and Z-Wave radio boards on a shared host platform, simplifying development for multi-protocol products that may support Zigbee, Matter, Thread, or Z-Wave in a single design.

Available through Edge: DKNCM11C10-02 Zigbee Development Kit

 

Built by Developers for Developers

Trident IoT was founded by the original creators of Z-Wave and is now a Connectivity Standards Alliance-authorized Zigbee test lab, offering end-to-end support from silicon to certification.

Their tools are designed to eliminate integration headaches, reduce time-to-market, and de-risk development.

With Elcap™, developers can compile and flash firmware instantly, while the Remote Command Line Interface allows deep debugging, even on deployed devices.
