nRF52811 Thread Lighting Controller
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.
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.
Platform: 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.
Use Case: Smart Lighting Controller
Networked lighting control system supporting dimming, color temperature, scenes, and schedules over BLE Mesh, Thread, or Zigbee for residential and commercial use.
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.
Key Protocols
ble, 802.15.4
