Zigbee interoperability

[Alan Ajit]

Dear Nordic,

 I tested zigbee in nRF52840(just light switch example). I want to check the interoperability of our device

can you advice how i check the interoperability of our device?

Hi,

What is "our device"? What do you want to check interoperability against? There is a white paper about Zigbee interoperability from Zigbee Alliance available on this page.

Best regards,
Jørgen

Thanks for replay,

Device means nrf52840 with light switch example. i want to check the device interoperability ie , check with another zigbee device

This is for checking how nrf52840 works with other vendor devices etc... can you advice how i check this ? is it possible to check zigbee products available in market of other vendors with this nrf52840?

I have tested the light bulb example with a Amazon Echo Plus device. You need to change the channel mask in the example to get it working. This is done by passing the mask ZB_TRANSCEIVER_ALL_CHANNELS_MASK to zb_set_network_router_role().

I suppose you can test it with other products as well, you would need to provide some more details on what you want to test/achieve in order for us to help you or provide more details.

Thanks for support,

i want to add a another manufacturer zigbee light bulb(eg:- philps hue or anything) with our network.ie i want to control another manufacturer zigbee product with nrf52840 device. where i start? which zigbee light can i test with our device(nrf52840 light client)? need some more advice. really i want to control any zigbee product . can you help me to achieve this through nrf52840?

Unfortunately, I can't help you with that. Philips Hue (and other manufacturers like IKEA) runs Zigbee Light Link (ZLL) protocol. In order to communicate with the devices, you will need the Light Link Master Key, which is only available when you have certified the product (or possibly under NDA from the manufacturer). You will have to contact the manufacturer of the product you want to interface in order to proceed with this.

Our Zigbee stack is certified according to the Zigbee 3.0 standard (including ZLL), and should be compatible with any ZLL devices if you have the correct keys.

I want to test the light bulb example with a amazon echo plus device. I changed the channel mask to:

#define ZB_TRANSCEIVER_ALL_CHANNELS_MASK   0x07FFF800 /* 0000.0111 1111.1111 1111.1000 0000.0000*/

But i don't find my device. I used the Nrf52840 dongle to test it. Can you give more information about your test?

Thx!
