Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi,

Same one knows what is the purpose of EZ-Mode functionalities on z-stack HA 1.2.0?

Is there any application note that explain this funtionalities?

 

best regards

    You can download and install Z-Stack home 1.2.0. There is document that describe it.

    Yikai, I have read the document, what you are referred to. But still i am clear why Ez_mode is used.

    It will just invoke the binding?. This we can doing it in ZDP_MatchDesc only. Then what is the speciality of using Ez_Mode.

    In the Document, it is mentioned that, it will invoke the binding whether the device is in network or not. What does it mean?

    If you invoke EZ-mode when device hasn't join any Zigbee network, it will also help to do association.

    So,
    1) Binding is the only advantage of Ez_mode? or any other?
    2)"If you invoke EZ-mode when device hasn't join any Zigbee network". what does it mean, if any device hasn't join any network, the Device in that network will invoke the association to those device which is not in a network or vice versa . No need to join in Zigbee Network?

    Yikai, can you reply to my prev post. so that it will clear for me to continue further.

    EZ-mode is a network steering and commissioned method focused on the network and device installer. Requires two steps which can be combined: Network steering (forming/joining network to proper network)+finding and binding (discovering and creating source bindings between a specific list of clusters).

    Thanks Yikai, So if Ez_mode is enabled, the binding will occur automatically?. No need to send Match_Description/Binding Request by Application Programmer?

    And what do you mean by finding proper network.
  • 0 in reply to Reshmi Khanna
    Guru 735695 points
    1. Yes, binding will occur automatically. There is no need to send match or binding request on application program.
    2. Finding proper network means device will scan for Zigbee network to join if it is not associated with any Zigbee network when EZ-mode is invoked.

    As per your input, i started with sample Light. I have configured one device as coordinator and  other  as End device.

    1) I have compiled as EZ_mode enable. I have noticed that, End Device is not sending the beacon request and joining to Coordinator, untill and unless i pressed key 2. Why it is so?.  

    2)Then in Compile option disable Ez_Mode in both Coordinator and End device. End Device is not sending beacon or joining to the network. It is not possible run zigBee Application with Zstack Home 1.2.1 without Ez_mode?

    1. This is because HOLD_AUTO_START. You can disable it from your projects and your device will send beacon request after starting.
    2. Yes, it is possible. You can disable both EZ_MODE and HOLD_AUTO_START.

    I configured SampleLight as Coordinator and Sample Switch as End device. End device is joining to network. When i press switch 4. End device is sending binding request to network(This i have checked in packet sniffer). But Coordinator is not responding to Binding request.

    Then, if pressed switch 1, End device supposed to send a toggle command. In the LCD it is displaying command Send. But in the packet sniffer, i didn't notice End device is sending that command.

    1. You have to press switch 4 on both Light and Switch.
    2. If binding is not correct, the command won't be sent. You can check with Packet Analyzer.

    1. Why switch 4(sorry for typo, actually that is switch 2) press on sample light also?. ZDP_EndDeviceBindReq is sending by End device(Switch). Light need to respond for this, but it is not. If i press a same switch 2 in Light. It will also send ZDP_EndDeviceBindReq, i think no need of this. 

    Note: i have disabled Ez_mode.

    2. Yes, i noticed that. But i need one thing to know, for sending to coordinator also binding is required.

    1. Yes, it should be SW2 and it would trigger to send end device binding. It would need two devices that want to bind each other to send end device binging for coordinator to coordinate and finish binding procedure.
    2. If you want to send to ZC, you don't have to do binding. This is because that short address of ZC is 0x0000 by default.

    Then the toggle is command from switch is sending to Coordinator only. The why it is not issuing the command.
  • 0 in reply to Reshmi Khanna
    Guru 735695 points
    The default address mode of toggle command destination is AddrNotPresent which means to use binding. Do you change it to Addr16Bit and use 0x0000 as short address?

    Yikai, I am looking for same.  But same thing i have tried with AF_DataReq. I didn't received in the Sample Light(Coordinator). When i see the packet sniffer, End device is sending the data and Coordinator also acknowledging. Then i started to debug. Then i noticed that, it is coming in the zcl.c . I have set a breakpoint to it. It is hitting the break point when ever End device sends data. But it why it is not coming in the Application Layer(zclSampleLight_event_loop).

    Try to do the following steps:
    1). in zcl.c file, revise "if ( *msgPtr == AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD )" as the followings.

    uint16 zcl_event_loop( uint8 task_id, uint16 events )

    {............

    if ( *msgPtr == AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD )

    {

    if(ZSuccess != (zcl_ProcessMessageMSG( (afIncomingMSGPacket_t *)msgPtr )))

    {

    // send it to another task to process.

    osal_msg_send( zcl_RegisteredMsgTaskID, msgPtr );

    dealloc = FALSE;

    }

    }

    }

    2) in zcl_sample<>.c file, add "case AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD:"

    case AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD:
    case ZCL_INCOMING_MSG: // Incoming ZCL Foundation command/response messages
    zclSampleXXX_ProcessIncomingMsg( (zclIncomingMsg_t *)MSGpkt );
    break;

    Now, you should be able to receive AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD.

    Hello,
    I am using the same sample light as Coordinator and Sample Switch as End device. I have disable both EZ_MODE and HOLD_AUTO_START. But End device is not sending beacon request. Is any thing i need to do

    Try to erase flash before you download firmware and test again.

    I am sending the data to Coordinator using AF_DataReq from End device.  But i am unable to get in either application and ZCL. In the sniffer log, the End Device is sending the data and Coordinator also acknowledging.  But why it is not hitting the break point

    uint16 zcl_event_loop( uint8 task_id, uint16 events )

    {............

    if ( *msgPtr == AF_INCOMING_MSG_CMD )

    {

    }

    Would you show me how you use AF_DataRequest to send message from ZED to ZC?
  • 0 in reply to YiKai Chen
    Intellectual 270 points

    AF_DataRequest( &MySample_DstAddr, &zcl_epDesc,
    ZCL_CLUSTER_ID_SE_TEMPERATURE_SENSOR,
    18 + , (byte*)SenBEE, &zcl_TransID,
    AF_ACK_REQUEST, AF_DEFAULT_RADIUS )

    What are inside MySample_DstAddr and zcl_epDesc? Do you use packet Analyzer to check if the message is sent out from ZED?
  • 0 in reply to YiKai Chen

    I am using unicast af16, 0x0000 short address, end point is 13(Coordinator End point) in MySample_DstAddr. Yes i have seen in packet sniffer, ZED is sending Msg and ZC also acknowledging. But in ZC it is not hitting the break point as i mentioned in previous post

    Try to set breakpoint inside afBuildMSGIncoming() and see if it stops there.
