Green Power Device cluster missing in CubeMX ?

Hello,

I'm currently working with the STM32WB55 evaluation card (P-Nucleo WB55). According to the data sheet, those MCUs supports ZigBee 3.0 which include Green Power configuration.

However, I can't seem to find the Green Power Device (End device) cluster when configuring my ZigBee device on CubeMX. Would greatly appreciate any help.

Hello @aritec @CMiqu.1 

Related to Green Power there are two different notions:
- The Green Power Proxy which is able to handle Green Power Frames and acts as an intermediate node between the Green Power Device and Green Power target on the ZigBee network. This proxy is present on M0, activated automatically during the init phase and does not require any init parameters (then not present in the CubeMX interface).

- The Green Power Device and Sink are not implemented on the existent stack.

Then STM32WB55 is not able to be a Green Power Device or Sink but only able to be a Green Power Proxy

The Green Power proxy does not have any parameter to configure, that's why there is nothing available on CubeMX interface.

But, since we are certified ZigbeePro(2017) + GreenPower, then you can implement them on your own.

Best Regards.

Hi STTwo-32,

thank's for the prompt response. I'm not very experienced with Zigbee, but I have a ZGPD power measuring device on my desk I'd like to get the data from. With a 802.15.4 sniffer i see he's asking for a channel (command 0xe3) within the first 5 minutes after startup. He's also broadcasting data (ZGP stub NWK header data) every 5 seconds, I guess some kind of commissioning request. I've never seen any kind of response from my WPAN coordinator server sample running on STM32WB55.

Is it possible to handle this devices with your WPAN middleware?

Best regards
Armin

This is a new question. It will be a good idea to create a new post for this question. I will close this post as answered. You can create a new post with more details on the https://community.st.com/t5/stm32-mcus-wireless/bd-p/mcu-wireless-forum .
