Hi,

I will check with our Zigbee team and get back to you.

Thanks,

Which benefits of Zigbee Direct are you interested in?

I currently cannot provide a timeline for support of Zigbee Direct, but it would be good to gauge and understand your use-case.

Zigbee direct provides a more secure and convenient approach similar to Matter/Thread commission. This feature definitely attracts customers. Since Zigbee Alliance announced Zigbee direct and both CC26xx and CC13xx support multi-protocol as key feature, I suppose TI as a major player in Zigbee should be able support this soon. So, when is it will be available in TI Z-stack?

We are looking at not having a physical coordinator in our system while still being able to connect zstack 1.2.2a devices in the network

By using Zigbee direct, you still need coordinator in the system.

I think in the zigbee direct specification says that you can set up the zigbee virtual device as a coordinator

I suggest you to refer to csa-iot.org/.../

I am sorry. I meant to say gateway. So the idea is replacing the gateway with the zdd and zvd

Thanks for sharing! In a way, the ZDD will act as a sort of "hub".

Once our devices/stack obtain Zigbee r23 certification, they will "play nice" with Zigbee Direct based devices. 

Full feature Zigbee Direct is an optional extension to Zigbee r23, and a minimum support is required for Zigbee r23 (per the CSA FAQ YK mentioned).

Hi YK,

After we are done with r23, then Zigbee Direct becomes more of a possibility. For now, I cannot provide a timeline on this.

If you have any concerns on this, please reach out to me directly.

Thanks,
Toby
