Zigbee Light Link HA Coordinator Lighting Gateway

There are 2 reasons someone would want to create a ZLL Host:

• A portable high end ZLL Remote.
• A fixed ZLL Controller.

The the ZStack-lighting-1.0.1 Host interface was implemented for a ZLL Remote, with high end remotes in mind, so implementing a ZLL Host controller using the ZStack-Lighting-1.0.1 Remote Sample Application has some limitations that need to be highlighted.

• The ZLL Remote Sample Application is only implemented as an End Device, as such it can not create a network or act as a Router.
• The ZLL Remote Sample Application must TouchLink with Lights in order to ascertain there network address and endpoint, which is needed for controlling them. This requires a proximity based touchlink with all the lights on the network.

For customers not developing a high end ZLL Remote, but instead developing a Fixed ZLL Controller Device these limitations are not acceptable and can be over come in the following ways:

• Using a HA Coordinator Lighting Gateway (ZLL device are able to join HA networks using classical commissioning). This has been done in this wiki page http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/ZigBee_Lighting_Gateway. This wiki supplies:
  • CC2530 HA Coordinator FW that implements device discovery and the ZStack-lighting-1.0.1 Host Interface
  • Host Linux  ZigBee Gateway Server SW
  • Cloud Server Connection for control of Lights
  • Android Application for control of Lights and binding to HA lighting control devices (HA Switches and Occupancy Sensors).

OR

• Create a ZLL Control Bridge application in ZStack-Lighting-1.0.1. This will be addressed in future releases of ZStack-Lighting.

if I want to control the light from my cellphone,  do I have to use the  HA Coordinator Lighting Gateway instead of a remote of CC2531 USB? I am sincerely expecting your detiled answer.Thanks!

主要看你的硬件是不是支持zigBee ZLL，HA这些标准协议就可以了，那么对于CC2530，CC2531都可以的。

如果你只是想用手机实现light控制，所以你必须得有一个wifi和zigbee相互转换gateway。有两种方案

1） Gateway：WIFI chip，ZigBee chip, Zigbee chip里面程序是ZLL remote的程序。 light里面的程序是ZLL light程序

2）Gateway：WiFI chip，ZigBee chip，ZigBee chip里面程序是Home automation 程序。light里面的程序是ZLL light程序

对于你这些协议，程序的实现想用什么硬件，都无所谓了！

从协议栈安装的文件夹中就找不到与HA网关的任何信息啊？网关一些应用指南在哪看的到呢？

求指导

关于HA的gateway 过段时间会在协议栈上加进去，请关注TI Z-Stck Home的更新
