Making a working zigbee light with an ESP32-C6

[8266er]

I'm a bit frustrated with the zigbee examples in the SDK. I'm trying to make a working light device using an ESP32-C6.

You'd think this would be trivial - just add a few lines of code to manage a relay to HA_light example. But to make it useful for a home automation system, you need a manufacturer and model number and that code leaves those undefined.

I saw another post on this board asking about manufacturer and model attrs, and tried to get it working by adding code to the HA_light example, but it's not working. I suspect it's obvious once you've succeeded, but until then, it's pretty opaque.

I would think someone must have a project to implement a useful relay (or just a version of the HA_light example with manufacturer and model attrs), since it seems to basic. Really, I'd expect the HA_light example to have a manufacturer and model, rather than undefined -- that seems obvious.

Can someone point me to someone's existing project that does this? Surely one exists already?

Have you had any success? Maybe back to CC2652P and windows builds taking 5 minutes each, zigbee implementation is useless in its current form.

I am also having the same issue on my ESP32-C6. I've been trying for days to get the example I've found to work, but it just won't work. I'm thinking something has changed in recent versions of the sdk.

Example I found that current won't work: viewtopic.php?t=33143

Based on the "custom" examples in the 5.1.1 SDK.

Things haven't changed. I've had success compiling and flashing the dimmable color light, it also interviewed with z2m right away. unfortunately no manufacturer and model id was present, so I was unable to use a converter with z2m, which would have been easy enough.

It seems many people have had this problem and there's multiple code snippets around that I also got to build and flash, but they all fail to interview and there's an error in the log:

Code: Select all

(I (681) ESP_ZB_COLOR_DIMM_LIGHT: ZDO signal: ZDO Config Ready (0x17), status: ESP_FAIL)

This is really frustrating, and unnecessarily so. Those two items should be in the examples by the fault, I don't understand why they arent.
