Has anyone managed to get the xbee to connect to the hue bridge?
I can establish a connection with encryption disabled, but I cannot find an appropriate key or persuaded the xbee to take the bridge key.

Hi mvut
Thanks for taking the time.
I’ve tried that info, although i think it outdated as my X2C’s do connect to my Osram Lightify network and do receive HA profiled network traffic, and even ZLL profiled commands.
But cannot get it to link to a Philips Hue network with these settings.
The X2C’s will connect if I set EE=0, but then there is no meaningful traffic as the encrypted and the Hue will not pass the key unencrypted.
I’ve read that the ‘fall back’ for ZLL is to accept join requests from HA devices, but this is then limited to connecting as an end device only.
The last fall back is to accept unencrypted join requests and broadcast the key in the clear, but I can’t work out if this is where touchlink is supposed to be involved; so close proximity, low power mode, and pressing the button.
Needless to say there is no exchange of key.
I’ve tried the default HA key and also the ZLL master key published on Reddit but neither work.
Which is why I bought id throw the question out there to the community

That would indicate that the Hue Light is NOT an HA compliant device. You are going to need to contact Phillips to find out what the settings are.
From what I can find, the Phillips Heu light is using the Zigbee Light Link protocol and not the HA. From what I can also tell is that the Light Link protocol have some ZLL commissioning that needs to be supported which the Xbee does not directly support. You would need to write into your application these function for it to work.
Looks like someone used https://github.com/ratmandu/node-red-contrib-zblight and got it working.
