Zigbee Direct is a communication protocol designed to enable direct communication between Zigbee devices and smartphones or tablets without the need for a dedicated Zigbee hub or gateway. Inside the Zigbee Direct ecosystem, you have two main actors : the ZVD (Zigbee Virtual Device) and the ZDD (Zigbee Direct Device). On this Application, the ZVD joins the ZDD Zigbee network and controls the Zigbee device by sending On and Off commands.
Connectivity, ZigbeeDirect, Zigbee protocol, BLE, 802.15.4 protocol
For this application it is requested to have at least:
- One STM32WBA55xx or STM32WBA65xx board loaded with the application ZigbeeDirect_OnOff
- One STM32WBA55xx or STM32WBA65xx board loaded with the application ZigbeeDirect_OnOff_Server_Router_Identify(For demo use case 2 only)
- One IOS device loaded with Ubisys Smart Home application

First, open the project, build it and load your generated application on your STM32WBAxx device
-
To run the application :
- Start the board. This board is configured and is acting as a Zigbee Direct Device.
- Launch the Ubisys Application and follow the instructions described in the chapter " Demo 1 procedure" of following wiki page : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Connectivity:Ubisys_Smart_Home_Application_Zigbee_Direct_Setup

- First, open the ZDD project , build it and load your generated application on your STM32WBA55xx or STM32WBA65xx devices.
- To run the application :
- Start the first board. This board is configured as Zigbee Direct Device. Launch the Ubisys Application and follow the instructions described in the chapter " Demo 2 procedure" of following wiki page : https://wiki.st.com/stm32mcu/wiki/Connectivity:Ubisys_Smart_Home_Application_Zigbee_Direct_Setup

To get help, please have a look a the following commands. Open an HyperTerminal connected to the WBA board and enter the command Help : You will get access to the following commands :
APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : adv ; Re-enable BLE advertisements APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : help ; Print this help APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : on ; Turn OnOff cluster LED ON APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : off ; Turn OnOff cluster LED OFF APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : pjoin ; Enable permit-join via ZDO broadcast APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : status ; print overall status APP_ZIGBEE_App_Task : swreset ; board reset
-
This example runs on STM32WBA55xx and STM32WBA65xx devices.
-
This example has been tested with an STMicroelectronics STM32WBA55CGA_Nucleo and STM32WBA65xx_Nucleo board and can be easily tailored to any other supported device and development board.
-
On STM32WBA55CGA_Nucleo or on STM32WBA65RI_Nucleo, the jumpers must be configured as described in this section. Starting from the top left position up to the bottom right position, the jumpers on the Board must be set as follows:
**JP1:**
1-2: [ON]
3-4: [OFF]
5-6: [OFF]
7-8: [OFF]
9-10: [OFF]
**JP2:**
1-2: [ON]

-
To get the traces and having access to the 'help' function you need to connect your Board to the HyperTerminal (through the STLink Virtual COM Port).
-
The UART must be configured as follows:
BaudRate = 115200 baud
Word Length = 8 Bits
Stop Bit = 1 bit
Parity = none
Flow control = none
