Price: 6.30

The M5Stack Unit Gateway H2 is an all-new form factor gateway unit built on the ESP32-H2-MINI-1-N2 chip.

It features a built-in 32-bit single-core MCU based on the RISC-V architecture and integrates IEEE 802.15.4 wireless communication, supporting ZigBee, Thread, and Thread-based Matter interconnection protocols.

The product communicates with an M5 series host (such as an M5StickC PLUS 2) via serial (UART) through the Grove (Port C) interface to achieve data exchange. Unit Gateway H2 can flexibly serve as a gateway (such as a Thread Border Router) or a terminal device, working with the host to build cross-ecosystem interconnection, or operate independently in IoT applications.

It reserves a standard program download interface and a Type-C interface for H2 chip firmware burning and debugging, and is equipped with a hardware encryption engine to meet the demands of high-security IoT applications.
