Zigbee Coord to muilti-Node communication

Post by Ondra »

Good day all.
In a Zigbee network, is it possible for the Coordinator to direct it's data/communication to just one out of the 8 units that may be assigned to it. Also is the data sent from the node being engaged, encapsulated in such a way that the Coordinator acknowledges the received data from the node being engaged while ignoring data that my have been sent by one of the other nodes on the network. If yes or no what then should be the approach for sending/communicating data to only one Node.

Hello Ondra,

Addressing a single device is possible using Zigbee though I'm not sure if you can detect where the data has come from. One way would be to use the coordinator to talk to specific nodes and then have the nodes report back their ID as a byte before sending back their data. The coordinator could then check the ID before accepting the data to ensure the data is correct for the device being talked to.
