CC2650: Regarding CC2650 Home Automation Network

1. If you don't have to follow Zigbee spec, you don't need to use Zigbee cluster.
2. PANID sets to 0xFFFF means coordinator would select a random number as PANID to form Zigbee network and device using 0xFFFF means it would scan for suitable Zigbee network to join. You are correct about security parts.

I have one more question.

It is compulsory for me to use ZCL_EZMODE. right?

My end device will wake up from sleep mode and send the frame to Coordinator.

If you don't have to follow Zigbee HA profile, ZCL_EZMODE is not compulsory.

Hello,

What zigbee stack did you use?

Hi Mircea,

I am using CC2650 Home automation.

But my end device will send raw packets to coordinator. So I can not use HA.

I will define private cluster by making changes in HA and implement same on both end device and coordinator.

Hi YiKai Chen,

I want to use change home automation project Sample switch in a way it can communicate with Zigbee Pro device.

Can you please tell me how can I do this?

Currently from my study, I feel that I can not use ZCL. So, should I delete ZCL group from sample project and then try to use functions directly from zstackapi.h?
Or should I define my private cluster?

You don't have to remove ZCL related code. You only need to use AF_DataRequest instead of ZCL related API to send messages.

Thanks.

I will try this.

You are welcome.

Hi YK,

I checked the sample switch code. Before sending any data, the end point is registered with Home automation profile and ON-OFF cluster. Zigbee pro coordinator will not be able to understand these things. So, how should I register my end device?

static void zswRegEndpoints(void)
{
// Initialize the switch Simple Descriptor
zswEpDesc.endPoint = SWITCH_EP;
afSimpleDesc.EndPoint = SWITCH_EP;
afSimpleDesc.AppProfId = ZCL_HA_PROFILE_ID;
afSimpleDesc.AppDeviceId = ZCL_HA_DEVICEID_ON_OFF_SWITCH;
afSimpleDesc.AppDevVer = SWITCH_DEVICE_VERSION;
afSimpleDesc.AppNumInClusters = sizeof(inputClusters) / sizeof(uint16_t);
afSimpleDesc.pAppInClusterList = inputClusters;
afSimpleDesc.AppNumOutClusters = sizeof(outputClusters) / sizeof(uint16_t);
afSimpleDesc.pAppOutClusterList = outputClusters;
zswEpDesc.simpleDesc = &afSimpleDesc;
(void)zclport_registerEndpoint(zswEntity, &zswEpDesc);
}

I forgot you use CC2650. I don't have experience running CC26xx Z-Stack Home 1.2.2a without ZCL so I am not sure how to do it.

Ok.

Thanks.

If you don't want to use Zigbee HA profile and ZCL, I suggest you to use CC253X which you can refer to GenericApp in Z-Stack mesh 1.0.0.

Yes. Thanks.

It looks better option than to remove home automation APIs from CC2650 code.
