During NFC commissioning, all network-related information and a join command are
transferred from the IoT Gateway to the joining node. Therefore, after NFC
commissioning, the node automatically joins the ZigBee network.
Step 5 Power-up the Dimmable Light node
First ensure that the batteries have been selected as the power source for the Carrier
Board of the Dimmable Light node, with the jumper
JP1
in the
BAT
position (as
). Then insert four of the supplied AAA batteries onto the
rear of the Carrier Board (the required polarities are indicated on the board).
Step 6 Commission the Dimmable Light node into the network
Move the NFC antenna of the Dimmable Light node over the NFC antenna of the NFC
Controller Board, as shown in
. If data is successfully exchanged in this NFC
tap, the Raspberry Pi board will sound a long beep.
An unsuccessful NFC tap will be indicated by four short beeps. In this case, click the
Decommission Device
button on the Control page of the IoT Gateway interface and
repeat the NFC tap (successful decommissioning is indicated by two beeps), then
click the
Commission Device
button and repeat this step.
The Dimmable Light node will now automatically join the network and the three white
LEDs on the node’s Lighting/Sensor Expansion Board will flash once.
Step 7 Check that the Dimmable Light has appeared in the web browser on the PC
In the web browser on the PC, go to the “Mobile Site” tab by clicking the
Mobile Site
button (right-most button across the top) and check that the Dimmable Light appears
on the page - the light will be identified by its IEEE/MAC address.
