Libraries for Zigbee

Zigbee is a portable, low-power software networking protocol that provides connectivity over an 802.15.4-based mesh network. See the Zigbee user guide for an overview of the technology.

Zigbee libraries are a set of components that can be directly reused in Zigbee applications. They implement the default behavior of a Zigbee device and are used in Zigbee samples in this SDK.

The following table lists libraries enabled by default for each available Zigbee sample (✔) or available through an overlay file (**):

Library name

Light bulb

Light switch

Network coordinator

NCP

Shell (sample)

Template

ZBOSS OSIF

Shell (library)

Application utilities (default signal handler)

Error handler

FOTA

**

Endpoint logger

Scene helper

Read the table symbols in the following manner:

  • - The library is enabled by default for the given Zigbee sample.

  • ** - The library support is available through an overlay file for the given Zigbee sample.

  • No symbol - The library is not enabled for the given sample, but you can enable support by following the instructions on the Configuring Zigbee libraries in nRF Connect SDK.
