2.3 Commissioning Nodes
This section describes how to complete the set-up of the ZigBee Smart Home
Demonstration by adding nodes to the ZigBee network by means of NFC
commissioning.
You will add two nodes to the network already established by the Co-ordinator
(JN5179 USB Dongle):
Dimmable Light
Dimmer Switch
These nodes are made up from components of the kit, as detailed in
The NFC commissioning of each node into the ZigBee network is identical. It is
performed by simply holding the NFC antenna of the node’s Carrier Board (see
) above the NFC antenna of the NFC Controller (mounted on the
Raspberry Pi board) while the Raspberry Pi is in commissioning mode - this action is
known as an ‘NFC tap’ and is shown in
. An audible signal is sounded if the
NFC communication between the two devices was successful, after which the node
will join the ZigBee network.
Note:
This section assumes that you have set up the
