I would guess CC1352 is the older cheaper whereas CC2652 is the more powerful one?

Does it work well? No disconnection or anything?

By any chance, would you have a Sync Box that’s working too?

Ah yes, it needs to be HomeKit certified. Would there be a generic Zigbee bridge that’s HomeKit certified?

Your first two options listed are simply ZigBee coordinators, not “hubs”: you’d need to run ZHA or ZigBee2mqtt on a computer

So a coordinator requires a software to interface it, whereas a hub is standalone (given that it has an app or something)?
