Does anyone have some experience with xbees connected to Node-Red?
I got a Xbee S2C that i want to use as Coordinator. Its Connected to my Rasp Pi Via USB.
My Plan is to read the data from my other Xbee (enddevice) and make a flow using the data.
Does anyone have some experience with node-red-contrib-xbee.
Can i just plug my Coordinator (Xbee S2C) via USB to my Pi and work with it?
But im not sure how to start.
I got the the xbee-node and the xbee-api already.
Any tipps for making my life easiert?
Alternatively, use a change node to build this object.
set msg.payload to JSON then copy/paste that code in
This is about as basic as node-red gets. If you dont understand that then you need to spend a little time playing and learning. I strongly recommend watching this playlist: Node-RED Essentials. The videos are done by the developers of node-red. They're nice & short and to the point. You will understand a whole lot more in about 1 hour. A small investment for a lot of gain.
PS, this node looks FAR more difficult than zigbee2mqtt - there is none of this to do when you get zigbee2mqtt running.
Well i got my stuff running that way (Xbee S2C as coor).
ITs now connected to MQTT via xbmq (Xbee Mqtt Gateway) and i can read stuff thats happening on the Xbee.
Its not possible to pair a Xbee S2C with CC2531 and u cant use it as coordiantor in zigbee2mqtt too.
Many tried and they failed too. Digi-Forum says so too.
I saw somewhere that u can pair a Xbee 3 with zigbee2qtt as a router/device.
Well yeah. If any of u guys are interested in that just use the xbee-node and xbee-api-node. MQTT is overkill and makes the stuff way harder then it should be.
