Package: zigpy-xbee
zigpy-xbeezigpy-xbeeis a Python implementation for theZigpyproject to implementXBeebasedZigbeeradio devices from Digi.https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-xbeeDigi XBee is the brand name of a family of form factor compatible radio modules from Digi International.The XBee radios can all be used with the minimum number of connections — power (3.3 V), ground, data in and data out (UART), with other recommended lines being Reset and Sleep.[5] Additionally, most XBee families have some other flow control, input/output (I/O), analog-to-digital converter (A/D) and indicator lines built in.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBeeZigbee Home Automation integration withzigpyallows you to connect one of many off-the-shelf Zigbee adapters using one of the available Zigbee radio library modules compatible with zigpy to control Zigbee based devices, including thiszigpy-xbeelibrary for Xbee based Zigbee radio modules.zigpy** currently has support for controlling Zigbee device types such as binary sensors (e.g., motion and door sensors), sensors (e.g., temperature sensors), lightbulbs, switches, and fans. A working implementation of zigbe exist inHome Assistant(Python based open source home automation software) as part of itsZHA componentCompatible hardwarezigpy works with separate radio libraries which can each interface with multiple USB and GPIO radio hardware adapters/modules over different native UART serial protocols. Such radio libraries includeszigpy-xbee(which communicates with XBee based Zigbee radios),bellows(which communicates with EZSP/EmberZNet based radios), and aszigpy-deconzfor deCONZ serial protocol (for communicating with ConBee and RaspBee USB and GPIO radios from Dresden-Elektronik). There are also an experimental radio library calledzigpy-zigatefor communicating with ZiGate based radios.Known working XBee based Zigbee radio modules for ZigpyThese are XBee Zigbee based radios that have been tested with thezigpy-xbeelibrary for zigpyDigi XBee Series 3 (xbee3-24)andDigi XBee Series S2CmodulesNote! While not a must,it is recommend to upgrade XBee Series 3 and S2C to newest firmware firmware using XCTUDigi XBee Series 2 (S2)modules (Note! This first have to beflashed with Zigbee Coordinator API firmware)Port configurationTo configureusbport path for your XBee serial device, just specify the TTY (serial com) port, example :/dev/ttyACM0Note! Users can change UART baud rate of your Digi XBee using the Digi's XCTU configuration tool. Using XCTU tool
enable the API communication mode --ATAP2, set baudrate to 57600 --ATBD6, save parameters.Testing new releasesTesting a new release of the zigpy-xbee library before it is released in Home Assistant.If you are using Supervised Home Assistant (formerly known as the Hassio/Hass.io distro):Addhttps://github.com/home-assistant/hassio-addons-developmentas "add-on" repositoryInstall "Custom deps deployment" addonUpdate config like:pypi:
  - zigpy-xbee==0.12.0
