How to stop steering as a ZR

[Alex_T]

Hello,

Using a ZR device with nRF Connect 1.5.1.

I am wondering how to stop steering mode in a ZR device (e.g. if user requests an "abort").

It is started with bdb_start_top_level_commissioning(ZB_BDB_NETWORK_STEERING) but how to stop it? There is a defined ZB_BDB_COMMISSIONING_STOP parameter but documentation says "Used internally".

Thanks in advance & best regards,

Alex

Hi Alexander,

Could you provide more information to specify the needs for this request?

As far as I can see, just like BLE or WiFi, you can power off/cycle or do a "bdb factory_reset" to the device to stop the undergoing steering process and make it ready for the new configuration.

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

The need for this is to stop steering after a predefined time. E.g. a user will have 5 minutes for establishing a connection after power up. After this time it should not be possible to connect it to a network without manually retriggering steering via button. The user could also want to stop steering manually to prevent connections by other people/networks.

A factory reset is not what I want because all other configuration should be left unchanged. Only steering mode should be stopped as simple as it was started.

Best regards,

Alex

Hi Alexander,

Thanks for the explanation, It seems bdb_start_top_level_commissioning(ZB_BDB_COMMISSIONING_STOP) can do this job, but I did not found the usage reference for it by far. You can find the source codes from ncs180/nrfxlib/zboss/src/commissioning/bdb/zdo_commissioning_bdb.c.

Just add it to one button even and verify if it works as your expectation. 

Best regards,
