How to send temperature and address/other(device) to coordinator in real time.

[kiansiong85]

Hi P-R-O-C-H-Y

This is great i saw your example.
Zigbee_Thermostat.ino
Zigbee_Temperature_Sensor

I am able to link and communication with each other.
I got a question,

1)what if I have multiple devices to connect? In addition to receiving the temperature, I also need to know real times which device the temperature comes from except the temperature?

void recieveSensorTemp(float temperature) {
Serial.printf("Temperature sensor value: %.2f°C\n", temperature);
sensor_temp = temperature;
}

Are there any similar examples available?

Hi @kiansiong85,
As the Zigbee library is now, there is no way of knowing which endpoint did send the temperature.
But I can see a possible way to implement that. Can you please convert this discussing into a feature request so I will have this in my backlog? Thanks

Thanks and appreciate a lot your reply PROCHY. I did make a feature request.

Feature Request: Support endpoint identification from multiple Zigbee devices
Background:
Current Zigbee library examples focus on one-to-one communication. In real use cases, like mine, we often connect multiple end devices (e.g. 5) to a single coordinator. However:

No endpoint/device information is displayed when receiving data (e.g. temperature).

It is difficult to identify which device sent the data.

The existing temperature (I tried to modify 2 devices connected, the second one took a long time) example does not show how to scale to multiple devices.

Suggested improvements:

Show the sender's endpoint or device address when receiving data.

Add an example of multiple devices sending data to one coordinator.
