CC2340R5: How to Create a Custom Cluster in ZBOSS

Hi Abdelrahman,

We've recently discovered that TI's Zigbee offering has not enabled support for custom (aka private) clusters on the SimpleLink F3 SDK.  This is being addressed in the v9.11.01 SDK release targeted for the end of next week, July 11th.

You could modify manufacturer codes (among others) for on/off outputs in zb_ha_on_off_output.h, look for ZB_ZCL_MANUF_CODE_INVALID in the output cluster list.  It's surprising that TUYA prefers to make Zigbee end device application interoperability more difficult.  Please provide the documentation you found listing the manufacturer attributes and private clusters needed by the TYUA hub.  Do you have a sniffer log comparison of a compatible device versus the CC2340R5?

Regards,
Ryan

This is TUYA documentation regarding the ON_OFF_OUTPUT cluster description, many of which are manufacturer specification like private clusters and some custom attributes:

https://developer.tuya.com/cn/docs/connect-subdevices-to-gateways/tuya-zigbee-multiple-switch-access-standard?id=K9ik6zvnqr09m

and this is the translated version of it:

https://developer-tuya-com.translate.goog/cn/docs/connect-subdevices-to-gateways/tuya-zigbee-multiple-switch-access-standard?id=K9ik6zvnqr09m&_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp&_x_tr_hist=true 

One thing to mention is that these documentations aren't maintained well enough as I found in the sniffer some requests to read some attributes that were never mentioned in the cluster attributes. 

For example, this is the documentation for the ON_OFF_SWITCH cluster:

https://developer.tuya.com/cn/docs/connect-subdevices-to-gateways/tuya-zigbee-wireless-switch-access-standard?id=Kbkp16iuen590

but I got these weird read attribute requests in the sniffer logs in wireshark:

It tries to read a "Color Temperature" attribute, so either I am doing something wrong or the documentation aren't updated. This the wireshark .pcapng file for "ON_OFF_SWITCH" device:

The funny thing is that TUYA HUB doesn't detect an ON_OFF_OUTPUT device but only ON_OFF_SWITCH device. still debugging it and trying to figure it out. I tried to contact TUYA developers but they said they only support companies not freelancers like myself.

Actually this resolved one of my issues, to replace  ZB_HA_ON_OFF_OUTPUT_DEVICE_ID  with ZB_HA_ON_OFF_LIGHT_DEVICE_ID as according to TUYA docs in the attached image:

The device ID should be 0x0100 which is ZB_HA_ON_OFF_LIGHT_DEVICE_ID  while ZB_HA_ON_OFF_OUTPUT_DEVICE_ID  was 0x0002. TUYA hub now can detect my device as smart switch
