This information applies to the nRF52840 SoC only.

The following examples demonstrate different features of a Zigbee stack running on the nRF52840 SoC.

• Zigbee Light Control example demonstrates a basic light control application.
• BLE Eddystone and Zigbee Light Bulb Example demonstrates a basic light bulb application integrated with BLE stack running Eddystone beacon example on the same chip.
• BLE Thingy and Zigbee Color Light Bulb Example demonstrates how to control multiple BLE devices in peripheral role by using multiple Zigbee devices.
• BLE UART and Zigbee Light Switch Example demonstrates a basic light switch application that allows for controling a Zigbee device using a BLE-enabled mobile phone.
• BLE and Zigbee Template Example demonstrates a template to create a dynamic multiprotocol BLE and Zigbee application.
• Zigbee CLI Agent example demonstrates a Zigbee router device (with the ability to be a Zigbee coordinator) that enables user interaction through the built-in CLI.
• Zigbee OTA Upgrade Client Example demonstrates a Zigbee OTA client device; it serves as a guide on how to add a OTA function to your own device.
• Zigbee OTA Upgrade Server Example with image transfer over BLE demonstrates a Zigbee OTA server device, that may be used in order to propagate OTA images inside Zigbee network.

You can also transform any BLE peripheral example available in nRF5 SDK v15.2.0 into a BLE-Zigbee dynamic multiprotocol example. See Adding dynamic multiprotocol Zigbee support to BLE examples.

Note

Zigbee examples do not use the SoftDevice, with the exception of multiprotocol examples.

Before running the examples, see Running precompiled Zigbee examples.

All Zigbee examples use the following parameters:

Radio Channel: 16

Testing

You can find the source code and the project file of the examples in the following folder: <InstallFolder>\examples\zigbee

Use the following steps to test the Zigbee examples:

1. Build the example according to the instructions in Building examples.
2. Use nrfjprog (from nRF5x Command Line Tools v9.2.0 or newer) to program the hex file that was created in the _build folder to the board.
3. Use an UART viewer to see the log messages produced by the application. All Zigbee examples use 1 000 000 baud rate.

Zigbee BSP LED reference

All Zigbee examples use the same LED assignments:

• LED1 and LED2 (BSP_LED_0 and BSP_LED_1) – used only inside multiprotocol examples in order to indicate BLE status:
  • Blinking – BLE advertising.
  • Continuously on – Connected over BLE.
• LED3 (BSP_LED_2) – network connection state:
  • Disabled – Node is disconnected or is currently connecting to a Zigbee mesh network.
  • Solid – Node is connected to a Zigbee mesh network.
• LED4 (BSP_LED_3) – user application LED.
