nRF52811 Thread Lighting Controller Firmware
Build a Thread-enabled smart lighting controller with the nRF52811 — mesh-networked LED dimming and color control with Matter compatibility at a cost-optimized price point.
Why This Combination
The nRF52811 adds 802.15.4 (Thread) and extended-range BLE to the nRF52810 baseline, making it the lowest-cost path to Thread/Matter lighting nodes without compromising wireless reach.
Protocols & Connectivity
nRF52811
BLE 5.4 SoC with optional 802.15.4 and ANT support plus long-range mode (Coded PHY). Extends nRF52810 with Thread and extended-range BLE capability.
