Discover 3rd party devices with digi-xbee python library

XBee & XBee Gateway XBee - Zigbee

Good morning (o;

Got my first Xbee 3 devcies with the module dev kit and playing now with the digi-xbee python library.

Set one module to ZigBee class 1 and put it into API mode 1…

Now when running the discovery sample it says only “Discovering remote XBee devices…” and finishes after the timeout value…

How can I use the digi-xbee library to discover and communicate with 3rd party devices like thermostats (our company’s final application).

thanks in advance

That is not a simple question as it depends on the Zigbee standard and what profile the devices use.

What I would suggest is to look at https://www.digi.com/support/knowledge-base/zigbee-home-automation

That will give you an idea as to how you need to configure the xbee. The Lib. should be similar once you have the XBee configured.
