STM32WB55 ZigBee Communication with Digi ZigBee Module – Feasibility & Technical Guidance

[Hariharan6189]

Hello ST Community,

I am currently working on a ZigBee communication project using the STM32WB55RG microcontroller. My goal is to establish ZigBee communication between the STM32WB55 (running ST ZigBee stack) and an external Digi ZigBee module (for example, ZigBee Series 3 ).

Before proceeding, I would like to confirm the following points:

1. Feasibility:
   Is it possible for the STM32WB55 ZigBee stack (ZigBee 3.0 based) to communicate directly with a Digi ZigBee module over-the-air, assuming both are configured on the same ZigBee channel, PAN ID, and security settings?

2. Technical References:

   • Are there any application notes or examples that describe interoperability between STM32WB ZigBee and third-party ZigBee devices (such as ZigBee )?

   • What ZigBee profiles or device roles (Coordinator / Router / End Device) should be configured for best compatibility?

3. Roadmap / Implementation Plan:
   My current plan is:

   • Use STM32WB55 as a ZigBee Coordinator or Router (using ST ZigBee stack ).

   • Use the Digi ZigBee module as a Router or End Device.

   • Test communication via simple attribute reporting (e.g., On/Off cluster).

   • Verify interoperability using ZigBee Cluster Library (ZCL) commands.

If anyone has experience connecting STM32WB ZigBee devices with Digi/ZigBee modules, please share technical notes, configuration tips, or any interoperability test results.

Thank you in advance for your support and insights.

That, of course, is the entire point of standards like Zigbee - any compliant device from any manufacturer should be able to interwork with any compliant device from any other manufacturer.

Thank you for your reply.

Could you please provide any support documents, technical courses, sample code, or step-by-step instructions
