Status of Touchlink support?

[im_a_llama]

Hello,

In an older post (here) you mentioned that you removed Touchlink examples because they were not of "production quality" and they might not be soon. That was two years ago, and following the removal of the Touchlink examples in V2.0.0 you also deleted that functionality from the "libzboss.a" in later versions. However, you advertise the SDK as a solution to build ZigBee 3.0 certified products even when this feature is missing. Is there an ETA for Touchlink commissioning?

If not, is there any known workaround, to join an nRF52840 dongle to IKEA TRÅDFRI using a remote (which sends a Touchlink scan request)?

Best regards,
Markus

E.g., the light_bulb example doesn't make as a coordinator. You don't want all your devices to connect to a light bulb because it does not support Touchlink. Do you have any solution for this?

 I don't understand this statement/question. Can you please elaborate?

If your building e.g. a ZigBee light strip, you want to connect it to your Hue, TRÅDFRI, ... network and integrate it with other product. You don't want to connect all your other devices to this light strip. You want you gateway/hub to be the coordinator and connect all devices to this.

Best,

Yes. I agree. But in that case, it is the gateway/hub that needs to add the TRÅDFRI/Hue bulb to the network, and the light strip doesn't need to worry about that, don't you agree?

But if you are working on the coordinator, then that one needs to call the "enable legacy" command, in order to add the IKEA bulbs to the network.
