XIAO ESP32C6 Zigbee Quick Start Guide (ESP-IDF) | 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,

"git submodule update --init --recursive" command hang indefinitely on "lib" folder, what will be the work around ?

thanks

Hello, I can build and flash but the C6 doesn't find zigbee network, I don't use another Xiao C6, I have a real coordinator for my network, any suggestion ? (The light example work when using Arduino IDE) :

Hi, when the ESP32-C6 fails to join a Zigbee network, there are usually the following reasons:

• Mismatched network configurations: The Zigbee parameters of the ESP32-C6 do not match those of the existing coordinator.
• Channel mismatch: The ESP32-C6 and the coordinator are operating on different channels.
• PAN ID mismatch: The network identifiers are inconsistent.
• Security setting issues: Incompatible network encryption methods.

Please check the above points.
