Hi
What is the best way to read cluster attributes periodically in zigbee network coordnicator?
any sample code available for one time request or subscription for value change or periodic subscription ?

Hi,
You can for instance use attribute reporting. This method allows the coordinator to receive automatic updates from devices when attribute values change, without having to constantly poll for data. Here's how you can set it up:
1. Create a binding between the coordinator and the device for the specific cluster you want to monitor. This is done using the `zdo bind on` command [Zigbee shell](developer.nordicsemi.com/.../shell.html).
2. Configure attribute reporting using the `zcl subscribe on` command. This sets up the reporting intervals for the attributes you're interested in [Zigbee shell](developer.nordicsemi.com/.../shell.html).
Here's an example of how to set this up:
1. Create a binding: zdo bind on <source_eui64> <source_ep> <dst_addr> <dst_ep> <cluster_id> <request_dst_addr>
2. Configure attribute reporting: zcl subscribe on <addr> <ep> <cluster> <profile> <attr_id> <attr_type> [<min_interval>] [<max_interval>]
For example, to set up reporting for a temperature attribute every 5 to 20 seconds: zcl subscribe on 0x1234 10 0x0402 0x0104 0x0000 29 5 20
This approach is more efficient than constantly reading attributes, as it reduces network traffic and power consumption on battery-operated devices. The coordinator will receive automatic updates when attribute values change within the specified intervals https://docs.nordicsemi.com/bundle/ncs-latest/page/nrf/applications/zigbee_weather_station/README.html#creating_bindings_for_periodic_notifications
If you need to manually read attributes at specific times, you can use the `zcl attr read` command https://developer.nordicsemi.com/nRF_Connect_SDK/doc/2.5.0/nrf/libraries/zigbee/shell.html, but this is not recommended for frequent, periodic readings.
Kind regards,
Andreas

Hi,
I edited your comment to use code blocks. Please use insert -> Code when uploading code and logs.
Regarding why the subscription didn't work. Are you certain the attribute you're trying to monitor are changing? It won't notify you unless its value has changed.
Kind regards,
Andreas
Hi AHaug
Yes I changed value from coordinator to target device but still it didn't gave any value change
Thank you for verifying. Could you post the command you've used and/or point me to where in the code you attached I should look?
Kind regards,
Andreas
Hi AHaug
I am sure the on/off is working and happending as its smart plug I used to send uart command to on or off and it reflects on plug.

Hi Ahaug
I am using this method to on/off target device
Hi,
Could you do a Zigbee sniffer trace and see if your nodes actually does send attribute reports or not when the state changes?
Kind regards,
Andreas
Hi I dont have sniffer right now
but I am confused as well that all standard zigbee device will have attributing supported or not
Here's a pointer to where to get started with this: https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-tools/nRF-Sniffer-for-802154
Dhaval Dalvadi said:but I am confused as well that all standard zigbee device will have attributing supported or not
It should be supported. What I want you to investigate with the sniffer is to see if you're actually sending the signal so we can look closer into why it does not report anything.
Kind regards,
Andreas
Hi AHaug I have sniffer with nrf52840 dongle
I will try that as well if needed
I tried the zigbee shell example with the plug but didnt worked so I was trying it with nrf connect sdk zigbee light_bulb sample
here are the command which I tried
turn on : zcl cmd 0x8259 10 0x0006 0x01
turn off : zcl cmd 0x8259 10 0x0006 0x00
attribute read: zcl attr read 0x8259 10 0x0006 0x0104 0x00
bind: zdo bind on f4ce369c73f4aea1 10 f4ce36f9f41b69c4 1 0x0006 0x8259
subscribe: zcl subscribe on 0x8259 10 0x0006 0x0104 0x00 16
0x8259 device address
f4ce36f9f41b69c4 coordniatore devEUI
f4ce369c73f4aea1 bulb devEUI
on off and attribute read works bund and subscribe there is no error but no response when I have executed on/off command after it
