Every single Sonoff model has used the Espressif ESP8266 / ESP8285 processor - until now.

But now ITEAD has gone in a different direction, and released the Sonoff BasicZBR3 which drops WiFi entirely in favour of Zigbee. It doesn't even use an Espressif processor: instead it uses a Texas Instruments CC2530, which is based on the 40-year-old Intel 8051 processor architecture.

What is Zigbee, and how does it compare to WiFi? Is the Sonoff BasicZBR3 any good?

Let's find out!
