Question regarding Commercial Building Automation profile

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: CC2630, Z-STACK

Hi,

I am designing ZigBee solution using CC2630 and target software is Commercial Building Automation.

But It doesn't seem that Ti supports Commercial Building Automation profile.

I can't find software download for Commercial Building Automation.

Am I correct?

If Ti doesn't support, do you have plan to support Commercial Building Automation profile?

If you don't have plan, is it possible to make Commercial Building Automation profile based on Home Automation profile?

It's my thought and I don't know whether there is similarity between Commercial Building Automation and Home Automation.

This is very important and urgent to my project.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Baeyoung

  • Hi,
    there is lot of overlap between Building Automation and Home Automation profile, as both share most of the clusters.
    The only main difference is the commissioning cluster which is included in Z-Stack Home 1.2.2 (zcl_cc.c module).
    You can start taking a look at the examples in Z-Stack Home and develop your building automation application.
    I would advise you identify the set of cluster you need for your logical device.
    Thanks,

  • You also have to change profile ID from 0x0104 (Home Automation Profile ID) to 0x0105 (Commercial Building Automation Profile ID).

  • Dear Chen and TheDarkSide,

    Thanks for update.

    Do you mean I have no problem modifying Home Automation profile to Building Automation profile?

    Actually I am in the phase of choosing TI's ZigBee solution as our main platform.

    So I didn't look at your software and I have some difficulty getting technical support in Korea.

    I just assume like the following:

    - TI provides all software in source lelve for ZigBee Home Automation profile.

    - I can modify some source as you recommend.

    - There is a lot of overlap as you commented.

    Am I correct?

    I need your confirmation. Of course, I need lots of time for studying Home Automation profile.

    Thanks in advance.

    Best regards,

  • Yes, your understanding is correct. By the way, HA profile and Building Automation profile will be merger together in Zigbee 3.0.
  • Hi,
    yes TI provides the profile layer as source code available and in clear. The profile is typically implemented in the ZCL layer for the data plane, while commissioning (joining, rejoining, orphaning) and security procedures are in ZDO layer (or ZDApp.c module) and in the configuration files, which can be modified.
    There's lot of overlap between CBA and HA, but it really depends on the logical device type.
    I suggest you download both specs, and identify the sections that are pertinent to the the device(s) you need to implement.
    I suggest you visit www.ti.com/zigbee-wiki as additional resource portal for your development.
    Thanks,
