If it isn't appropriate to ship these old HA headers as part of ZBOSS because they aren't ZCL8 compliant, perhaps one workaround is to ship them as part of another samples/ folder along with officially sanctioned / tested instructions on how to use them to build a Zigbee device?

I was able to update one of my apps to work with NCS v2.0.0 by copying the header into my project from NCS v1.9.1 and then #define ZB_HA_DEFINE_DEVICE_ON_OFF_OUTPUT . I don't know how well this will be supported into the future, though -- it's kind of a hacky approach.

Hi,

We are working on those examples as the feature requests, but I cannot promise the schedule. Sorry for the inconvenience.

The samples only cover a tiny number of use cases. For instance, what would somebody implementing a Zigbee IAS or door lock use as a reference now that the HA definition is gone and there is no sample for either of these devices?

Hi,

[quote user=""]This looks like a pretty major change, which I don't even see mentioned in the release notes:[/quote]

The change is mentioned in the nrfxlib ZBOSS changelog.

[quote user=""]If ZBOSS no longer ships these HA declarations, is there another centralized place to obtain them from?[/quote]

Because each sample and application shall provide its own device definition, you would have to create it by yourself for your application. However, you could take a look at how it's done in the samples at least, e.g. https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v2.0.0/samples/zigbee/light_bulb/include/zb_dimmable_light.h.

Currently, no alternative way of defining Zigbee devices was introduced in the scope of NCS v2.0.
