Zigbee Green Power Device support

[Rakesh Kumar]

Hello Everyone,

Hope you all are doing great.

I want to enable the Green power sink on the light bulb application (Zigbee). As per Nordic documentation, i have enabled CONFIG_ZIGBEE_GP_CB=y in the .config file. But after the build the above config changes to proxy configuration to CONFIG_ZIGBEE_GP_PB=y. Could anyone help me how to enable the GP combo/sink?

I am using nRF52840-DK.

Basic aim: I am looking for peer to peer communication via ZigBee (green power device will directly send signals to nRF52840-DK). I don't want coordinator in between.

Regards,

RK

Hi RK,

Only Zigbee Green Power Proxy Basic is supported (CONFIG_ZIGBEE_GP_PB). Green Power Combo Basic is experimental, but as you can see in ZBOSS Configuration options it can only be enabled for an application that is built from ZBOSS stack sources.

Hi Marte,

Thank for your reply. I am using light bulb from sample applications. I have tried the ZBOSS configurations using Kconfig for enabling green power combo option, but check box is not editable for combo feature. Attached the snapshot for your reference. Could you please tell us how to enable green power combo feature.

Thanks & Regards

RK.

Hi RK,

As I said in my previous reply, only Green Power Proxy is supported, not Green Power Combo.

Hi Marte,

Thanks for your reply. My requirement is we want add Enocean switch (PTM 216z) to ZigBee network and then control the lamp. For this I have used Zigbee Co-Ordinator for creating network and light_bulb for acting on light commands from sample applications. 

I able to create ZigBee network and light_buld joins the network. But when I am pressing Enocean switch, no events received on light_bulb application. Could you help me how to receive green power events on light bulb application? Is there callback registration required for receiving green power events? Could you point to any documentation for receiving and handling green power events in application.

Note: all are operating same ZigBee channel.

Thanks & Regards

RK.

Hi RK,

Can you get a sniffer log of this and upload it here as a pcap file? Make sure to start the sniffer before the coordinator starts the network so it has the network key, or share the network key here so I can decrypt the packets.

Best regards,

Marte

Hi Marte,

Please find the attached wireshark sniffer log, please suggest how to handle green power packets in light_bulb application.

The NWK key is: 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f

Hi Marte Myrvold ,

Please let me know. How we can use this?

Hi RK,

I see that your switch is sending GPD 8-bit vector: press/release commands. A device needs sink functionality in order to be able to translate GPD commands, so a Proxy Basic device, such as the light bulb, will not be able to translate these commands. I have asked the developers if there is a way to make this work without access to the ZBOSS stack sources. I am still waiting on a reply.

Best regards,

Marte
