Hello - I have purchased a few Seeed Studio XIAO ESP32C6 boards and have 2 projects I would like to assign to them. Preferably would like to connect them via Zigbee 3.0 to homeassistant but last resort is wifi with homeESP
Project A is to connect light sensor and create outdoor light sensor but this project is optional as I do have one spare C6 board. More important is:
Project B - using PWM managed mosfet connected to ESP32C6 would like to fade in and fade out LED light strips (single colour, non addressable). Would like them to be visible in Homeassistant as a swich that other process can turn on and turn off. The effect that I would like to achieve is when other automation switch on that light strip via ESP it should fade in and once it turn switch off led strips should fade off.
Is there anyone who can help me with implementation of this? While I found implementation of Zigbee protocol and tons of PWM LED fade tutorials I cannot find anything that combines all 3 world together.

Project A - where are they for that sale ? Would like to buy one but only one that I have found is for $21
Project B - I have all hardware - I am more on software side issue - need to make a code to make it works 
that is the fun part… everyone deffinatly needs to learn how to reverse engineer the sample code library… you need to make it more your own code and make it more object oriented programming so you can basicly make everything into function calls and use the low level functions to run under your high level logic
you will need to disect your individuial library code for each componant and make usre it works by itself and then add addional sensor functions ontop of the layer cake

Hi Mate - how to get that low price? Are you using some code ? The lowest I have found was AU$18
Also - do you know that it works with Homeassistant via ZHA?
@cgwaltney
Or go with easy way and just use ESPhome via WiFi while I will not figure out how to deal with Zigbee as this part makes everything complex (as ESPhome does not support Zigbee yet)

Hi Guys - no new ideas here ?
ok - for all who have already seen this topic and for future wanderer
Have finished with building a wired weather station that included BH1750FVI light sensor.
Learning how to use C6 with Zigbee leaving for future - it goes to wonderful “some day” land
