Zigbee topology #128

Open martin9115 opened 4 years ago

martin9115 commented 4 years ago

Hi, Can this libraries help me build zigbee mesh?

stuckis6er commented 4 years ago

Yes, I would say.

best regards

martin9115 commented 4 years ago

Any example?

midzdotdev commented 3 years ago

Zigbee should form a mesh without any additional configuration. The underlying zigbee-herdsman package seems to permit this.

martin9115 commented 3 years ago

Yes, but i wish to understand the principle (algorithm) of the topology, like star, mesh etc. Any help?

midzdotdev commented 3 years ago

Within the documentation for zigbee2mqtt, there is an overview of how the network works. Check it out. It described the different kinds of nodes and their role in the network.

From what I've read, I believe so long as the devices have been paired onto the network via the coordinator, then the mesh network is self-organising. The coordinator just needs to send a message to an adjacent node/device and it will be routed to the recipient node.

Hope that helps :)
