Creating a Binding locally on a Zigbee device

Yeah unfortunately the zb_zcl_set_attr_val(...) function is not what I need (unless I am able to manually add to the binding table) since this function changes the attribute but does not provide me with a buffer that I can send manually to an address.

Hello Jon,

I have filed your question to our Zigbee Team. I am waiting on a reply from them.

Regarding your #2, this looks like something that is done in the attribute report function, zb_zcl_set_attr_val(...), which is used in e.g. the multi_sensor example found in:

SDK\examples\zigbee\experimental\multi_sensor.

I will let you know as soon as I hear something from our Zigbee team.

BR,

Edvin

Any updates on this? Thanks

Edvin,

As far as I can tell, the CLI only supports sending a Binding *request* (e.g., the "binding on" command will sent a ZDO.BIND request to another node). What I need to do is create a binding locally within the device (since I am in a situation where another node will *not* be sending me a binding request). This is supported by other Zigbee stacks -- as an example, see https://docs.silabs.com/zigbee/6.6/em35x/group-binding-table).

Regarding item #2: I would like to send an ATTRIBUTE_REPORT command manually. I can certainly do this by writing all of the code necessary to build a header, add all of the attributes and their types, etc. However, I sould expect that the stack already has such code internally since the stack is able to send attribute reports when attributes are configured to report to other bindings. How can I use this code. For example, see the emberAfFillCommandGlobalServerToClientReportAttributes API documented in https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/miscellaneous/AF-V2-API.pdf), which builds a REPORT_ATTRIBUTES payload suitable for sending.

Thanks,

Jon

Hello,

Can you please check the testing description for the multisensor example in the Zigbee SDK. Here you see what commands you can use in the CLI example to set bindings and subscriptions. Then you can see what functions the different CLI commands are calling in the CLI example.

1) check the description in the multisensor example.

2) I am not sure I understand this question.

Best regards,

Edvin
