Zigbee Smart Home demo

Hello,
I came across this twitter clip by Marjeris showing a Thingy 52 relaying temp info to Alexa.
How was this done? by mqtt? or as gadget?
thank-you,

  • Our product is built around nRF5 SDK examples and all the available features that come with it.
    When the main IDE was transitioning from Keil to SES, there was a guide explaining how to migrate to SES, until all the examples became available on SES.
    A guide like that explaining how to migrate from nRF5 SDK to NCS-Zephyr would be of some help here,
    and if not a guide then maybe a common example to compare and see which part goes where.
    Having the gadget example in nRF5 would be even better.
    Unfamiliarity with the zephyr structure is what's hindering the matter of fact reply.

    thank-you,

  • Unfortunately, there is no easy way to create a simple migration guide from nRF5 SDK to NCS. There is a beast of features (libraries, drivers, protocols, examples) which in each could have their own individual migration guides in itself.

    But we do have a list of guides on Devzone for getting started with nRF Connect SDK: https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/nordic/nrf-connect-sdk-guides/

    If you want to migrate properly to NCS in most cases you need to start your project from scratch anyways.

    Unfortunately I don't know if this is in the scope for future releases. You can try getting in contact with your RSM and requesting this, but it's probably easier if you try adapting the example yourself.

    BR,

  • ok, I'll continue chipping away at the code.
    Curious as to why the gadget example was written in NCS-Zephyr for dual-chip,
    when most gadgets would be single chip nRF5.

    +1 for a nRF5 gadget version
