What does DEV_HOLD for ZNP Device State Name mean?

Ed Lombardo

Hi,

When end device binds to the coordinator the ZNP end device state name changes from DEV_END_DEVICE to DEV_HOLD. What does this mean? There is something about Initialized - not started automatically?

#define DEV_HOLD 0

DEV_HOLD means that the device is hold and not started without external event. For example, SW5 pressed will make the device to invoke ZDOInitDevice.

Hi YiKai,,

I want to disable this feature and have the end device start re-start automatically. How do I turn this feature off, since my device does not support an external event?

Thanks,

You have to add "HOLD_AUTO_START" to compile options of your project.

A quick comment here as maybe there was a typo: in order to have automatic start without holding you have to undefine HOLD_AUTO_START.

If you define that compilation flag, then device will sets its state to DEV_HOLD and not DEV_INIT.

Hi,

I do not see where HOLD_AUTO_START is defined, and yet I see the device is in DEV_HOLD. I have removed all pushbutton events to control the end device and modified the MSP430 application source code to only bring up the ZNP as end device.

Thanks,
