Zigbee Coordinator Nrf52840 Kit Development

[thang47]

I have a Temperature and Humidity Zigbee Sensor, link is here: https://www.aqara.com/us/temperature_humidity_sensor.html

Now I use nrf52840 kit as coordinator and use the Zigbee : Network Coordinator example project. Can I pair that sensor?

thang47 - Interesting to know. You got the operating channel of that sensor?

Hello,

Well it might be configured with a different link key than the default, which can make it unusable on other coordinators than the Aqara Hub. Considering this response on the Amazon link I am concerned that might be the case. 

But either way it can also be a bit of a hazzle to modify the coordinator to work with it. Here is a previous old case in which someone got an Aqara sensor to work with nRF5 SDK though, that might be interesting to look at. I assume you are using NCS though?

I guess you could ask Aguara themselves to be sure, or just try and see if it works. If the link key is okay and it uses Zigbee3.0, I think it should be possible even though it can be a lot of work.

Regards,

Elfving

Hi Elfving,

I tried adding Aqara sensor but when I view the log I get:

I don't know if it's the right channel or not?

Hi Askabu,

Actually I don't know its active channel, but when I run the sample example, I get the log:

Hi Elfving, 

I paired that sensor, I got temperature and humidity data, but I didn't get the battery message. I'm sure that sensor fires the pin message. Do you know how to configure receiving pin messages?
