RE: Question) Can I use zigbee and UART at the same time?

Hi,

As long as there are unused instances of UART you should be able to use UART and Zigbee in the same project. The CLI Agent example already uses UART, which is implemented with the Command Line Interface library. We don't have any implementation for pipelining UART and CLI as you want to in your project, so you'll have to implement that yourself. Just remember that the CLI Agent is already using UART as interface.

I would recommend using the UARTE driver, which provides APIs for the peripheral, instead of the serial UARTE library, which is built on top of the driver.

As for your question whether the end-device can send a message to the coordinator, you would have to use a cluster library with this functionality in order to do this. You can check out our documentation on the Messaging cluster. This cluster provides an interface for passing text messages between ZigBee devices. I would also recommend reading up on the cluster in the Zigbee Cluster Library specification.

Best regards,

Marte
