How to use the On/Off Router example with ZigBee2MQTT?

[Kampi]

Hi,

I want to learn ZigBee and for this, I want to see what´s going on in the On/Off Router example and build up an environment to test my own implementations by using ZigBee2MQTT and a CC2531 dongle. I flashed the example onto my STM32WB55 Nucleo and the board can connect with the STM32WB55 Nucleo USB stick, but not with my ZigBee2MQTT setup.

I´ve activated pairing as a coordinator in the web UI and started the application on my Nucleo board. I got this output but no successful connection:

Hello @Kampi ,

From the traces it shows that the router did not find any available network to attach with, so the stack returns the error code  0xca -> ZB_NWK_STATUS_NO_NETWORKS.

You have to make sure that your coordinator has the same network configuration as your router ( channel, pre configured key, EPID filter..), also the joining time is limited by default on the coordinator side, thus the join should be proceeded only within that time.

Best regards,

Hi @Ouadi 

good points. I had to configure the channel to 13 in the configuration file because ZigBee2MQTT is using channel 11 by default
