By mistake I bought a CC2540, not a CC2531. Any chance it is supported? Or should I start searching for a CC2531?

Thanks

The CC2540 is a Bluetooth dongle - not 802.15.4, so no, it won’t be supported.

You are right, I just read that on the official TI.
To tell the truth I am confused about my dongle, it have both numbers

And when I try to flash it, it fails:

$ ./cc-tool -e -w CC2531ZNP-Pro-Secure_Standard.hex -v r

It may be that the two devices are pin compatible (I’ve not checked) and they have just used the same PCB. They could also be grey-market components, in which case, who knows what you get from China :wink:

Looking at the board though, it looks the same as a CC2531 board I have here, so maybe it is ok if the chip really is the 2531.

I know china is playing lottery :wink:

And it appear in openhab:

But I don’t know how to join a item. I bought a Temperature&Humidity sensor, and it stop blinking “faster” when I push the its network button and openhab is searching for new items, but I cannot find it anywhere. I am pretty sure I am missing some steps here.

And what use do the buttons on de dongle have?
