Zigbee HA Atrribute Reporting

[inv4]

Hi, I'm trying to setup attribute reporting on zigbee HA, the device role is ZB_ZCL_CLUSTER_SERVER_ROLE, I want to configure reporting for cluster 0x0006, so each time I flip a switch it send clusters current state to the coordinator, none of the examples seemed to be configured for reporting.

Does it has to be explicitly configured/enabled on the node?

Thanks in advance.

Found this in internal FAQ page:

Do we have a ZCL attribute reporting example

We do not have an example created specifically to demonstrate attribute reporting, although:

• From server/advertiser site: for every cluster there is a set of attributes, that shall have attribute reporting implemented and available. As a result, a simple light bulb example may be used as reporting ZCL server.
• From client/subscriber site: all commands required to configure reporting and logic to parse reports were added to the CLI Agent Router example.

Combination of those two gives a complete "reporting" example.

Additionally, the CLI uses a "raw" technique of intercepting ZCL reports. There is also a dedicated ZBOSS callback, that may be used to get ZCL attribute reports, but it was not used, as there might be only one reporting-callback defined.

Steps to test ZCL reporting:

1. Flash light bub example to one board
2. Flash CLI example (Zigbee CLI Agent example) to another board.
3. Use CLI as the coordinator:
   1. bdb role zc
   2. bdb start
4. Find the light bulb's endpoint, short and long addresses:
   1. zdo match_desc 0xFFFD 0xFFFD 0x0104 1 0x0006 0
   2. zdo ieee_addr <returned_short_address>
5. Create binding FROM the light bulb TO the CLI ON the light bulb:
   1. zcl bind <bulb_long_addr> <bulb_ep_from_match_desc> <CLI_long_addr> <CLI_endpoint, defaults to 64> 0x0006 <bulb_short_addr>
6. Subscribe for attribute's changes:
   1. zcl subscribe <bulb_long_addr> <bulb_ep_from_match_desc> 0x0006 0x0104 0x0000 16

Magic numbers:

0xFFFD - broadcast address, all devices with RxOnWhenIdle == 1
0x0104 - Home Automation profile ID
0x0006 - On/Off cluster ID
0x0000 - On/Off attribute ID

Hope this helps!

Saw you edited your comment. So you're getting the attribute reports?

Best regards

I was but its unstable, don't know what the problem is. Might be develco smart plug I am testing with or I have a bug =) A question I still have is the first on, is there a way to subscribe to all attribute changes ? 

[bjorn-spockeli]

I've forwarded the question to the Zigbee team again so will comment once they get back to me.

Could you please elaborate on " is there a way to subscribe to all attribute changes ?" Are you asking about a change of any attribute on a cluster or any change of a given attribute? 

:)

[Jimmy@zone]

preferably any attribute on any cluster. Or do I need to list all the attributes that I might be interested in ? For instance I might want to know if the wallplugg is turend off manualy  using the button, if the power consumption is changed, a door lock is unlocked etc.
