[SUGGESTION] Team up with pipiche38 who is developing a zigpy plugin for Domoticz #2

@slaesh Can I suggest that you try to reach out to @pipiche38 (Patrick Pichon) about possible collaborating and teaming up to test your CC2652RB development stick together with the new Zigbee implementation for Domoticz that he is developing using zigpy?

Please also see respective suggested posted to pipiche38 here:

https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Zigpy/issues/2

If you slaesh could donate one, two, or a few of your CC2652RB USB sticks to him then maybe he that can help @pipiche38 developing effort as it would give him the possibility to also test both zigpy-cc and zigpy-znp radio libraries for zigpy to try out their compatibility with newer Texas Instruments CC2652 based Zigbee adapters as zigpy can support many different adapters. It could perhaps later even be used as a reference adapter. No strings attached of course as these are still hobby projects at their core with only one developer so far.

pipiche38 is still in a very early stage of developing his "Domoticz-Zigpy" plugin for Domoticz (a free and open-source home automation software), I understand in fact the project is so a such early in development that is not yet usable, however, I read on Domoticz community forum that he currently only has access to ZiGate Zigbee adapters (this as pipiche38 is also the developer of an existing ZiGate plugin for Domoticz). So at least we know that pipiche38 already has the experience and skills to develop Zigbee plugins for Domoticz.

As I understand it slaesh CC2652RB development stick, zigpy, Domoticz, and this new "Domoticz-Zigpy" plugin are all only spare-time hobby projects but still, I think that teaming up might give all involved projects some positive recognition in the Domoticz community and the whole home automation scene in general which might attract more developers and willing alpha/beta-testers from the community to come to help out with all these involved projects which in the long run could benefit all users wanting Zigbee in Domoticz to become more mature and working with more Zigbee hardware dongles than it is today.

PS: By the way, I think that you are both French, so that and Zigbee is more than one thing you have in common! ;)

@slaesh Are you interested in donating hardware to @pipiche38 as per https://github.com/pipiche38/Domoticz-Zigpy/issues/2 ?
