Addressing of End Devices

Hi,

What i am trying to do is send a packet(s) to multiple end devices on a network without using a broadcast and hopefully without having to save addressing information for each individual end device on the network (looking at supporting up to 100 end devices).

I received this from the support request “We currently do not support multi-casting. However you may be able to use the ZDO commands in conjunction with the API explicit and device type identifier commands to perform the action you are inquiring about.” but seem to be missing how to specify a device type in the explicit API or how to ensure that the device types (end devices) perform the requested action…

Any suggestions?

hi,

i think you wont do this without having to save addressing information for each individual end device. at least temporary.

  • getnodelist
  • for node loop
  • if node.type …
  • ddo_set_param

to ensure, the action is done, you may use ddo_get_param or check out the end device visually…
