Send ZDO commands with the API
ZigBee specifications define ZigBee Device Objects (ZDOs) as part of the ZigBee Device Profile. These
objects provide functionality to manage and map out the ZigBee network and to discover services on
ZigBee devices. ZDOs are typically required when developing a ZigBee product that interoperates in a
public profile such as home automation or smart energy, or when communicating with ZigBee devices
from other vendors. You can also use the ZDO to perform several management functions such as
frequency agility (energy detect and channel changes - Mgmt Network Update Request), discovering
routes (Mgmt Routing Request) and neighbors (Mgmt LQI Request), and managing device connectivity
(Mgmt Leave and Permit Join Request).
The following table shows some of the more prominent ZDOs with their respective cluster identifier.
Each ZDO command has a defined payload. See the ZigBee Device Profile section of the ZigBee
specification for details.
