ESP32-C6 Zigbee Mini Sensor Kit with ESP32 + DHT22
ESP32-C6 Zigbee Mini Sensor Kit: Create a Wireless Temperature & Humidity Sensor for Your Smart Home
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
With this kit, you'll assemble a compact temperature and humidity sensor that joins your Zigbee mesh network the moment it's powered. Imagine checking your child's room temperature from anywhere using Home Assistant, or automatically turning on a dehumidifier when humidity spikes. The ESP32-C6's built-in Zigbee capabilities make it a plug-and-play addition to any Zigbee2MQTT setup.
What You'll Build
You'll build a self-contained wireless sensor housed in a snug ABS enclosure that reports accurate temperature and humidity readings to any Zigbee coordinator. Once connected to Zigbee2MQTT, your sensor appears as a standard Zigbee device, visible in popular home automation platforms like Home Assistant, openHAB, or Node-RED. The DHT22 sensor provides reliable data, and the ESP32-C6's low-power design allows battery operation for remote placement.
What You'll Learn
- How to assemble and solder a functional ESP32-C6 sensor node
- Configuring Zigbee communication and pairing with Zigbee2MQTT
- Reading environmental sensor data (temperature and humidity) with DHT22
- Integrating a wireless sensor into a smart home dashboard

Who This Kit Is For
This kit is ideal for school students (Class 6 and above) curious about IoT and smart home technology. It's a perfect project for ATL Tinkering Labs, science fair demonstrations, and CBSE skill subjects like AI and IT. College freshmen in ECE or CSE will appreciate the hands-on Zigbee networking practice, and hobbyists can prototype a clean, enclosure-based sensor for their home automation projects.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion, scanned from the box's QR code, gives real-time soldering tips and Zigbee pairing steps. You can also message us on WhatsApp for direct help.
Do I need a Zigbee coordinator to use this sensor?
Yes, you need a Zigbee coordinator like CC2531, CC2652, or a Sonoff dongle running Zigbee2MQTT. The kit includes setup notes, and if you don’t own one, we can recommend a compatible coordinator.
Is soldering difficult for a beginner?
Soldering is minimal—just the DHT22 sensor and a few resistors onto the PCB. The enclosed soldering iron is safe, and the AI companion has a beginner-focused soldering walkthrough.
Can I power the sensor with a battery instead of USB?
Absolutely. The ESP32-C6 can run from a 3.7V LiPo battery on the appropriate pins. The USB cable is for initial programming; after that, you can go wireless for portable placement.
ESP32-C6 in tiny enclosure joins Zigbee network and sends DHT22 readings. Pairs with Zigbee2MQTT.
