XIAO ESP32C6 Zigbee Quick Start Guide (Arduino) | Seeed Studio Wiki

In this tutorial, we will embark on a journey to explore Zigbee application development using the XIAO ESP32C6 development board. The XIAO ESP32C6 is a compact yet powerful board that features the ESP32-C6 chip, which offers integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. By leveraging the ESP Zigbee SDK, we can harness the full potential of the XIAO ESP32C6 and extend its capabilities to include Zigbee functionality.

Hello,
can you write me please in which repository can I find library:
#include "ZigbeeCore.h"
#include "ep/ZigbeeLight.h"
Best regards

Hello,
You can find the library here: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/tree/3.0.7/libraries/Zigbee/src/ep.

Hello,

Has anyone been able to change an end device (ED) configuration to be to be a Zigbee router (ZCZR) with the same functionality? For example, creating a temperature monitor that can also extend the Zigbee network range. I've tried to by changing the Zigbee mode and partition scheme in the tools dropdown menu of the IDE, but it doesn't appear to work when viewing the Zigbee network.

Thanks!

Hello, I would like to use Zigbee with the XIAO ESP32-C6. I tested the Wi-Fi example and measured around 25 mA of consumption. But with the Zigbee light on/off example, it's around 65 mA. I don't understand why !
I thought Zigbee was supposed to consume less power?

[nfs0619]

Thanks for your feedback! Zigbee achieves low power consumption by using sleep mode, where the device is mostly inactive and only wakes up periodically to communicate.
In our example code, the higher current is due to RxOnWhenIdle = true, which keeps the radio always on and results in higher power consumption.

What is the best way to have Zigbee light on/off available anytime ? when i use wifi, radio is always on but it consume only 25mA and not 65mA as zigbee.

[nfs0619]

The higher Zigbee power consumption is because RxOnWhenIdle = true, which keeps the radio always on to receive commands instantly.

Wi-Fi uses built-in power-saving even when connected, so its current stays lower.

To reduce Zigbee power, you can set RxOnWhenIdle = false and use End Device mode. This lowers power usage but may cause a short delay in response.

Hello, i bought several xiao_esp32c6 boards

I'm trying your example but I have some issues regarding the "coordinator" (the end device flashes ok).
I turn on arduino, select the board xiao_esp32c6, verified arduino ide version is 2.3.6.
Then verified boards esp32 by espressif version is 3.3.0.
Then selected zigbee mode "Zigbee ZCZR".
Partition scheme Zigbee ZCZR 4mb.

Then either flashing or compiling i get this error:

error: 'ZigbeeGateway' does not name a type
39 | ZigbeeGateway zbSwitch = ZigbeeGateway(SWITCH_ENDPOINT_NUMBER);

In function 'void onZbButton(SwitchData*)':
error: 'zbSwitch' was not declared in this scope
45 | zbSwitch.lightToggle();

In function 'void setup()':
error: 'zbSwitch' was not declared in this scope
75 | zbSwitch.setManufacturerAndModel("Espressif", "ZigbeeGateway");

In function 'void loop()':
error: 'zbSwitch' was not declared in this scope
zbSwitch.printBoundDevices();

exit status 1

Can you please help me solve this?

Thanks
