Hello all,
I’m working on adding an ESP32-C6 with a cluster that will support sending strings back & forth. I see there’s a method of adding a custom XML to the ZCLDB. Has anyone any success in adding such a device & how one should do it?
I thought the best was to do it was implement something like a custom client cluster (0xff00) for a Home Automation Custom Client Device but like to hear from anyone that has done this.
Many thanks!
Yes, I have done that lot of time, for new custer generaly.
You can use an external XML, but on my side I just edit the orignal one > deconz-rest-plugin/general.xml at master · dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin · GitHub
What is your OS ? Can be more complex on docker.
Here you have a sample for the cluster 0xfc0f
<!-- OSRAM -->
<cluster id="0xfc0f" name="OSRAM specific" mfcode="0xbbaa">
<description>OSRAM manufacturer-specific cluster to set power-on defaults.</description>
<server>
<command id="0x01" dir="recv" name="Store Power-On Defaults" required="o"></command>
</server>
<client>
</client>
</cluster>
Wich one string type it’is ?
<!-- String -->
<!-- oN, defined in first N octets -->
<datatype id="0x41" name="Octed string" shortname="ostring" length="o1" inval="0xff" ad="D"></datatype>
<datatype id="0x42" name="Character string" shortname="cstring" length="o1" inval="0xff" ad="D"></datatype>
<datatype id="0x43" name="Long octed string" shortname="lostring" length="o2" inval="0xffff" ad="D"></datatype>
<datatype id="0x44" name="Long character string" shortname="lcstring" length="o2" inval="0xffff" ad="D"></datatype>
@Smanar Many thanks, sounds good. I was going to use the character string. It was in particular for the Tunneling cluster, 0x0704.
