Sending and receiving data between dongles

Hello to all. Is it possible to send and receive data between 52840 dongles using ZigBee? I need a simple program which records data in one dongle and sends to another. Thanks for the answers.

  • Hello,

    What sort of data are you going to send? You can't really send whatever data you like. You have to set one of them up with a Zigbee cluster (some kind of sensor that you would typically have in a smart home), and then have the other one subscribe to that cluster.

    I do not recommend you trying to develop this on the dongle. You should get hold of a Development Kit, which contains a debugger, develop your application on there, and then flash the finished application to your dongle.

    But Zigbee really isn't the best way to send custom payload data. I would actually suggest that you look into BLE for that kind of application.

    Best regards,

    Edvin
