I got a CC2531 lying around somewhere and thinking to connect multiple analog/digital sensors to rpi and use node-red to communicate to my zigbee-gateway/network using the CC2531, it should be possible but... anyone tried something like this?

something like using rpi as zigbee device / using node-red to simulate a zigbee-device

Mmmh, sounds complicated to use a pi and CC2531 to send some sensor data over Zigbee  
Have a look [at this](https://ptvo.info/zigbee-switch-configurable-firmware-v2-210/) to make (configure) your own Zigbee device and connect sensors direct to a Zigbee module.

thanks, i see that got what i need! I will keep that for plan B if my node-red project gets stuck. 🙂
