Join Non-NRF Network?

Hi Øyvind,

I was able to do some more testing and found out that the light_bulb example works perfectly fine once I comment the following lines.

zb_set_network_router_role(IEEE_CHANNEL_MASK);
zb_set_max_children(MAX_CHILDREN);

It then succeeds to connect without any kind of problems. However, commenting the line underneath in the experimental freertos multisensor example, doesn't result in a succesful pairing.

zb_set_network_ed_role(IEEE_CHANNEL_MASK);

What would be a logical reason behind this?

Kind regards,

Jochem

No, it should not have to as long as your Zigbee stack follows the Zigbee spec and can connect with any general Zigbee device.

I'm sorry, being new to the world of Zigbee I was not aware about the incompatibility between Zigbee 3.0 and Zigbee Home Automation. Zigbee HA uses its own Zigbee stack called zigpy, and in order to connect to their network our device must support and be compatible with zigpy. There is some more information about this on Home Assistant's page about Zigbee here, where they also list Zigbee radio modules that are compatible with zigpy, and ZBOSS is not listed there.

There is also a discussion here about a zigpy radio library for ZBOSS, but I do not think they have a solution yet.

I've asked our Zigbee team what the status is on this, and will get back to you when I get an answer.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Joachem,

What version of the nRF SDK for Zigbee and Thread are you using in you project?

Network steering was not successful means that the device was unable to join a network, given with a generic error code -1.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
