Zigbee Core - Add Zigbee Groups and Scenes Cluster integration #181
Comments
@RobinBol Any plans for implement this basic cluster integration, including the ability to broadcast a Zigbee command within the network? If the broadcast option would be possible, I would be tempted to build a custom Zigbee groups and scenes app... |
Hi @TedTolboom , we don't have these plans at the moment. But it might be interesting to look at sometime. Could you write a concrete proposal on the functionality that you would want/need? For example, what do you mean exactly by "broadcast Zigbee commands". In the context of groups, you mean sending a ZCL command to a specific group id? |
@RobinBol I will add a more detailed proposal. As per: https://apps.developer.homey.app/wireless/zigbee#groups
In Homey's Zigbee API it is, as far as I can tell, not possible to broadcast a command (Group set) to all devices in the network. If I would have the option to broadcast to the network instead of sending a command to a specific node, it would be possible to add groups support to a specific app or create a specific app adding groups support. |
I see, broadcasting is actually not the same as group addressing, but I get the point. Would indeed be interesting to somehow support this, no promises though. |
In order to be a competitive platform, I'd like to opt to implement the following (fundamental) zigbee implementation into the Zigbee core and enabled through the zigbeedriver.
Groups cluster - link and unlink devices to a specific group and maintain all by the controller defined groups
Scenes cluster - create scenes that can be easily recalled
In both cases, the implementation has strong parallels to the Z-wave association groups
