Sleep, function and action
A sleepy child and its parent, what a device can do, and reports and direct actions.
- 07Sleep, poll, deliver5 minA sleepy device cannot be called, it can only ask its parent for what is waiting. This lesson fills the parent's queue and lets time pass the timeout, to show delivered, expired and overflowed as three outcomes.
- 08What a device can do4 minA Zigbee device describes what it can do as endpoints, clusters, attributes and commands. This lesson opens a light's On/Off cluster, presses On and reads the attribute back.
- 09Reports and direct actions5 minA report goes up to the host, and a bound command goes straight across to a light. This lesson presses the same wall switch with and without its binding and draws the path each press takes.
Start at 07 and read down — the order is the order things get easier in. Or take the one with your part in it; every article stands on its own, and links back to whatever it needs.
