Custom CLUSTER with attributes reporting

[Arsanios]

Hi

I am trying to declare a custom cluster in zigbee and enable the reporting for some attributes of the cluster, i followed this post to create the custom cluster
devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../how-to-declare-custom-zigbee-cluster

The problem that i am facing is when i send the reporting configuration request from the coordinator, i found that the end device responds just one time,  then doesn't send any other attributes reports.

Using the zigbee sniffer, i found that in the reporting request sent from the coordinator the ZCL Header -> manufacturer-specific is always false (0), which is wrong by ZigBee specification, it should be 1

Here what i found in the specs:
"The manufacturer specific sub-field SHALL be set to 0 if this command is being
used to configure attribute reports defined for any cluster in the ZCL or 1 if this command is being used to configure attribute reports for manufacturer specific attributes."

The problem is that value is set by the macro "ZB_ZCL_GENERAL_INIT_CONFIGURE_REPORTING_SRV_REQ" and it set always to 0.

I have tried to change it manually, but it doesn't work. it gave me a Malformated packet

Unfortunately, i didn't find any examples that can help me to create a custom cluster with attributes reporting, but i did the following things

1) Modifying the ZB_ZCL_CUSTOM_CLUSTER.h to be fit with my custom cluster
2) Using HA profile with device ID = ZB_HA_CUSTOM_ATTR_DEVICE_ID = 0xfff2
3) Modifying the manufacturer code to a custom one and including it in the custom cluster
4) Using the ZB_ZCL_CLUSTER_ID_CUSTOM as cluster-id as declared in zb_zcl_common.h

You can find attached my ZB_ZCL_CUSTOM_CLUSTER.h modified to my custom cluster

So i want to know if you have any suggestions

Thanks in advance

Hi Arsanios,

Sorry for the late reply. I will need to consult with our Zigbee developers about the part with the manufacturer specific field in the reporting request sent from the coordinator, as I have never tried to setup reporting with custom a cluster before.  But in general you should not change the ZB macros in the SDK.

Are you also able to provide the sniffer trace where you observe the reporting request package so I can take a look at them as well? For the coordinator side I suppose you have already tried using the CLI example for testing?

Best regards,

Marjeris
