    Challenges

    Lack of APIs interface hub & zigbee interconnect

    Lack of Linux based Zigbee application in the NCP mode

    Limited support for clusters in NCP application

    Solution

    • Designed the Rest APIs interface (between hub engine and Zigbee Interconnect)
    • Developed Linux based Zigbee application in the NCP mode (Network Co-processor), with the client’s IoT hub as host platform
    • Added support for following clusters in NCP application: Thermostat, alarm, occupancy sensing, Temperature, HVAC, Intruder Alarm System (IAS) Zone, Color Control, Door Lock, etc.
    • Developed APIs for the client application to add/update/delete new devices & reading, configuring, monitoring the parameters for clusters
    • Developed business application to validate the Zigbee application/interface using client APIs
    • Integrated & validated of-the-shelf Zigbee devices with standard profiles/clusters
