Z-Stack HA architecture

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2530, CC2531, Z-STACK

Hello. Iam trying to develop Home Automation system for light/HVAC control using browser with following hardware: cc2530 modules, cc2531 as a gateway + any SBC(RPi2 etc). After reading some documentation in Z-Stack solution package I am kind of lost.

What are the software architecture choises for this in general? One way is to use BBB and Z-STACK-LINUX-GATEWAY, but I have only RPi2 and Allwinner A20 boards and signing SLA for sources is not my way.

I compiled and flashed to cc2530 the last lighting samples from HA package. Accordingly to Ubiqua the network is working OK. Now what firmware for cc2531 usb and what software should I use to be able to interface with this network, send commands, read sensor data etc?

If I undestand correctly one way is to use 6lowPAN gateway as described here sunmaysky.blogspot.com/.../setup-6lbr-to-run-6lowpan-with-cc2531.html  but again, what firmware examples for cc2530 should I look into in this case. Can I still use ZCL?

Thanks.

    1. Z-Stack Linux Home Gateway should be able to run on Raspberry Pi 2 without rebuilding full source code. You can try it.
    2. Contiki is 6LowPAN mesh network which is different from Zigbee and it doesn't use ZCL.

    1. Thanks. Its realy working. Now what firmware should I use with cc2530 modules to connect to this gateway? I tried "Sample Light - Zlight - Router" with setting up PAN_ID=0xB99C (panid shown in gateway software) and disabling HOLD_AUTO_START but its not connecting.
    Also I tried hex from ZllLight-ZLIGHT-1.0.2-kit.zip its not connecting either.

     

    UPD Hex from ZllLight-ZLIGHT-1.0.2-kit.zip is connecting after activating permit join.

    Sample Light HA  works as well. 

    2. Allright. Will look into that architecture later.

    You are welcome and it's good to know it works now.
