QUERY - [nRF52840][ZIGBEE][ZEPHYR-BLE] Is controlling LIGHT_BULB(ZIGBEE) from ZEPHYR_BLE_CENTRAL possible ??

[Deepu Prashanth]

Hello Team,

I am using nrf52840 board which supports ZIGBEE and ZEPHYR.

Setup Details:
Zigbee_LIGHT_BULB (nRF52840 DK)
Zephyr_BLE_CENTRAL (nRF52840 DK)

In zephyr I have implemented BLE CENTRAL CODE and in ZIGBEE, LIGHT_SWITCH(ROUTER) and LIGHT_BULB(END_DEVICE) examples. Now, I want to control ZIGBEE LIGHT_BULB(END_DEVICE) to turn ON and OFF the BULB using BLE CENTRAL CODE.

1. Is it possible to control ZIGBEE LIGHT_BULB(END_DEVICE) using BLE CENTRAL CODE in ZEPHYR which is implemented in zephyr?

2. Also, In ZIGBEE LIBRARIES, why ZEPHYR BLE CENTRAL CODE is not supporting ?

As I am new to this, please help here get the above information.

Thanks a lot  !!!

Best Regards,
Deepika B

Hi, 

Zigbee and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) are different wireless communication protocols, each with their own specific use cases, requirements, and libraries. In nRF Connect SDK, Zephyr supports protocols such as Zigbee and BLE. However, this doesn't necessarily mean that BLE would be used or compatible with Zigbee libraries, which are designed for Zigbee protocol applications. See Zigbee architectures.
