XBee ZigBee communication with TI CC2650STK SensorTag

Question

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone has been able to configure their XBee to work with the TI CC2650 SensorTag module over ZigBee?
I'm using the TI provided Z-Stack firmware example, that is supposed to communicate using the home automation profile. Based on a red flashing LED it seems that the module is advertising itself for the communication.

I tried searching the forums for the relevant info on HA profile settings for my XBee (S2C, XB24C family) and here is what I found:

Zigbee Stack Profile (ZS) 2
Encryption Enable (EE) 1
Encryption Options (EO) 0
Encryption Key (KY) 5a6967426565416c6c69616e63653039
Network Encryption Key (NK) 0
API Enable (AP) 1
API Output Mode (AO) 3

However, this does not seem to work. Using the "Discover Radio Notes in the Same Network" feature of X-CTU return "no devices found".

Does anyone have any info on the possible causes of the issue?

Thank you!
Jonathan

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the XCTU network mapping feature will work with non-Digi Zigbee devices. The best way to test network communication would be to send some ZDO transmissions and see if the remote radio responds.

Also, is Z-stack a proprietary TI profile? If so, it might not work with the standard ZigBee-PRO profile (ZS=2).

Answer 2

Set Xbee as a Coordinator by Enabled button

Disable Encryption

Set DH- 0 and DL - 0xFFFF

ZigBee Stack Profile- 2

first try to set channel setting same at both end

and write the module firmware and reset the ZED
and see on XCTU scan

Answer 3

Hi there,

I am currently having the same problem. I am trying to establish a connection between a XBee S2 API Coordinator and the SensorTag STK Enddevice.

I have configured the XBee Module according to the parameters specified there:

Have you been successful to establish a connection? I would highly appreciate any help or idea!

Cheers,
Felix

HI Felix,
Unfortunately I had to abandon trying to use zigbee for the sensortags and decided to switch to BLE. Not much I can help you with here.
