Hi Karthik,

Agree with you, I will feedback you suggest to our development team. There are at least two reasons I suggest you use the ZOI workflow instead of NCS for this need.

1. Increasing max endpoints means more resource cost, especially on RAM, which means less for customer application, not all customers will happy with it.

2. The current NCS Zigbee now is quite stable, we do not have a big update and plan to recertificate it this year.

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Charlie,

Thank you for your quick response.

As lots of companies are facing this issue, I was wondering if you (i.e Nordic) can increase the max endpoints from 8 to 12, or a simple option to increase the endpoints till 12 will be very helpful.

Hi Karthik,

ZB_MAX_EP_NUMBER is fixed at compiling time in the ZBOSS stack. The NCS Zigbee solution uses a prebuilt and certificated ZBOSS stack. All Kconfig starting from CONFIG_ZB_ are not meant to be changed in the NCS workflow(only in ZOI workflow). You need to join ZOI in order to change and recompile the ZBOSS stack for your product.

Best regards,

Charlie

Hi Karthik,

Good to hear your feedback.

There is one related discussion one year ago: Max Zigbee endpoints - Nordic Q&A - Nordic DevZone - Nordic DevZone (nordicsemi.com), I am not sure if you still need to join ZOI or contact our RSM for this inquiry. I will give you a reply later.

Best regards,

Charlie
