Can not connect Philips HUE bulb by XB24-Z7WIT-004

Question

I am trying to build up ZigBee network by XB24-Z7WIT-004 and let Philips Hue bulb join it.
However when I tried in XCTU tool to scan the network. It can not find the Hue bulb.
Here is my setting.
The XBee module firmware is ZigBee Coordinator API.
Port 9600/8/N/1N API 1

I also tried to change the baud rate and still no luck.

Does anyone has experience to conncet Hue bulb?

Answer 1

Is there anything online that makes you think this would work in the first place (genuinely curious)?

As far as I am aware you cannot use this module to talk to this device. You would need a S2C module which can talk ZigBee HA protocol and then use a separate controller to send the Light Link messages.

I think you are going to need to check with the person who wrote the article you are working with to find out why it is not working.

Hi Mvut,

Thanks for your suggestion. I already asked this question in Microsoft community as well.
By the way, I copy the profile configuration of the XBee XB24C as below. Could you help to check if anything I can change to help connect Philips Hue Bulb? Thanks again. I

Looks like your EO setting is incorrect. It should be set to a value of 2.  AO should also be a value of 2 and KY 0x5A6967426565416C6C69616E63653039

This is all from http://knowledge.digi.com/articles/Knowledge_Base_Article/Zigbee-Home-Automation/?q=Home+Automation&l=en_US&fs=Search&pn=1

Hi Mvut,

I changed the configuration and make it the same with the link of KB you provided. Still, no luck.

By the way, besides Home Automation, how about configure Xbee to connect by Zigbee light link profile? Is it possible? What's the correct configuration for ZigBee light link profile?

Thanks.

I have not tried the Light Link profile so I do not know if the steps that Microsoft are valid or not.  I do know that the steps in the KB article for Home Automation are correct.

Have a look at this and change few parameters. Many got that combination working.
