Different Stacks in one mesh

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PMP, Z-STACK

Hi,

Can someone please tell me if I can mix ZigBee devices from different manufacturers with different stack in one network.

I have an existing product line designed with Ember transceivers and stack and I would like to change it to TI transceiver. I need the new devices to be on the the same mesh network. I do NOT use a standard profile.

    Hi,

    ZigBee guarantees complete application interoperability if you use a public profile.

    If you use a private profile, ZigBee guarantees stack level interoperability.

    Please stay tuned for next updates of the TI Zigbee stack which embed latest Zigbee version (called Zigbee 2012).

    Thanks,

    Thanks TheDarkSide,

    So if I understand correctly, I can Form, Join, leave a network as well as send and receive data with coordinator running on Ember stack using an end device with TI Zigbee transceiver and Stack.

    Hi Yuval,

     You can do that with the current stack 2.5.1a itself.

     

    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,

    I've got to the stage where CC2530ZNP is acting as a coordinator and I'm trying to join with Ember's EM260 and it doesn't work. Looking at the sniffer I can see a beacon request/response and that's it.

    Reading some threads here in the forum I see there are comparability issues between the two companies stacks and TI claim a fix is implemented in the HA stack (Zigbee r20 spec) but not in the 2.5.1a version. My question is:

    Can I use the HA stack but not using the profile?

    Is there any known workaround I can use?

    When TI will release an update to Z-Stack?

    Yuval

    P.S

    Any help from anyone int he forum that try to work with Ember and TI together will be appreciated.
