Zigbee shell¶
The Zigbee shell library implements a set of Zigbee shell commands that allow you to control the device behavior and perform operations in the Zigbee network, such as steering the network, discovering devices, and reading the network properties. Enabling a device to work with these commands simplifies testing and debugging of an existing network and reduces the amount of reprogramming operations.
Configuration¶
The Zigbee shell commands are implemented using Zephyr’s Shell interface. By default, Zephyr shell uses the UART backend. To change this and other Zephyr’s shell settings (for example, the prompt or the maximum amount of accepted command arguments), read the documentation page in Zephyr.
You can add support for Zigbee shell commands to any of the available Zigbee samples, except for the NCP sample. Some of the commands use an endpoint for sending packets, so no endpoint handler is allowed to be registered for this endpoint.
To configure the Zigbee shell library, use the following options:
For detailed steps about configuring the library in a Zigbee sample or application, see Configuring Zigbee endpoint logger.
Supported backends¶
Zigbee shell commands are available for the following backends when testing samples:
UART
Segger RTT
You can run the Zigbee shell commands after connecting and configuring the backend for testing. For more information, see Testing an application.
Zigbee shell command list¶
This section lists commands that are supported by Zigbee samples.
Description convention¶
Every command prints Done when it is finished, or an error with the reason why it occurs.
The command argument description uses the following convention:
Square brackets mean that an argument is optional:
command [arg]
A single letter before an argument name defines the format of the argument:
command d:arg1 h:arg2
h stands for hexadecimal strings.
d stands for decimal values.
The ellipsis after an argument means that the preceding argument can be repeated several times:
command arg ...
help¶
Display help for all available shell commands.
[group] help
If the optional argument is not provided, displays help for all command groups.
If the optional argument is provided, displays help for subcommands of the specified command group.
For example, zdo help displays help for all zdo commands.
Example:
help
Please press the <Tab> button to see all available commands.
You can also use the <Tab> button to prompt or auto-complete all commands or its subcommands.
You can try to call commands with <-h> or <--help> parameter for more information.
Shell supports following meta-keys:
Ctrl + (a key from: abcdefklnpuw)
Alt + (a key from: bf)

zcl ping [--no-echo] [--aps-ack] h:dst_addr d:payload_size
Example:
zcl ping 0b010eaafd745dfa 32
Note
Use only after bdb start.
Issue a ping-style shell command to another CLI node with the given 16-bit destination address (dst_addr) by using a payload equal to payload_size bytes. The command is sent and received on endpoints with the same ID.
This shell command uses a custom ZCL frame, which is constructed as a ZCL frame of a custom ping ZCL cluster with the cluster ID 0xBEEF.
For details, see the implementation of ping_request_send() in subsys/zigbee/cli/zigbee_cli_cmd_ping.c.
The command measures the time needed for a Zigbee frame to travel between two nodes in the network (there and back again).
The shell command sends a ping request ZCL command, which is followed by a ping reply ZCL command.
The IDs of the ping request change depending on optional arguments.
The ping reply ID stays the same (0x01).
The following optional argument are available:
--aps-ackrequests an APS acknowledgment--no-echoasks the destination node not to send the ping reply
Both arguments can be used at the same time. See the following graphs for use cases.
- Case 1: Ping with echo, but without the APS acknowledgment
This is the default case, without optional arguments.
![msc {
hscale = "1.3";
App1 [label="Application 1"],Node1 [label="Node 1"],Node2 [label="Node 2"];
App1 rbox Node2 [label="Command ID: 0x02 - Ping request without the APS acknowledgment"];
App1>>Node1 [label="ping"];
Node1>>Node2 [label="ping request"];
Node1<<Node2 [label="MAC ACK"];
App1 rbox Node2 [label="Command ID: 0x01 - Ping reply"];

App1<<Node1 [label="Done"];
}](../../_images/mscgen-ca04abe1233142017c1f46fb5f46d1c1b9f398a8.png)
In this default case, the
zcl pingcommand measures the time between sending the ping request and receiving the ping reply.- Case 2: Ping with echo and with the APS acknowledgment
This is a case with the
--aps-ackoptional argument.![msc {
hscale = "1.3";
App1 [label="Application 1"],Node1 [label="Node 1"],Node2 [label="Node 2"];
App1 rbox Node2 [label="Command ID: 0x00 - Ping request with the APS acknowledgment"];

Node1<<Node2 [label="MAC ACK"];
App1<<Node1 [label="Done"];
}](../../_images/mscgen-1775de0c8e4ff5d49f27b72a1087ed6217810944.png)
In this case, the
zcl pingcommand measures the time between sending the ping request and receiving the ping reply.- Case 3: Ping without echo, but with the APS acknowledgment
This is a case with both optional arguments provided,
--aps-ackand--no-echo.![msc {
hscale = "1.3";
App1 [label="Application 1"],Node1 [label="Node 1"],Node2 [label="Node 2"];
App1 rbox Node2 [label="Command ID: 0x03 - Ping request without echo"];
App1>>Node1 [label="ping"];
Node1>>Node2 [label="ping request"];
Node1<<Node2 [label="MAC ACK"];
Node1<<Node2 [label="APS ACK"];
Node1>>Node2 [label="MAC ACK"];
App1<<Node1 [label="Done"];
}](../../_images/mscgen-1f2f90b4e8f53af80961323178efeac92fbd27dc.png)
In this case, the
zcl pingcommand measures the time between sending the ping request and receiving the APS acknowledgment.- Case 4: Ping without echo and without the APS acknowledgment
This is a case with the
--no-echooptional argument.![msc {
hscale = "1.3";
App1 [label="Application 1"],Node1 [label="Node 1"],Node2 [label="Node 2"];
App1 rbox Node2 [label="Command ID: 0x03 - Ping request without echo"];
App1>>Node1 [label="ping"];
Node1>>Node2 [label="ping request"];

Node1<<Node2 [label="MAC ACK"];
}](../../_images/mscgen-1834a7516b670a451dec6910c65fcb6be94f094f.png)
In this case, the
zcl pingcommand does not measure time after sending the ping request.
zdo simple_desc_req¶
Send Simple Descriptor Request.
zdo simple_desc_req h:dst_addr d:ep
Send Simple Descriptor Request to the given 16-bit destination address of the node (dst_addr) and the endpoint ep.

zdo match_desc h:dst_addr
h:req_addr h:prof_id
d:n_input_clusters [h:input cluster IDs ...]
d:n_output_clusters [h:output cluster IDs ...]
Send Match Descriptor Request to the 16-bit destination address of the node (dst_addr) that is a query about the requested address/type node (req_addr) of the prof_id profile ID, which must have at least one of input clusters (n_input_clusters), whose IDs are listed in [...], or at least one of output clusters (n_output_clusters), whose IDs are listed in [...].
The IDs can be either decimal values or hexadecimal strings.
Example:
match_desc 0xfffd 0xfffd 0x0104 1 6 0
In this example, the command sends a Match Descriptor Request to all non-sleeping nodes regarding all non-sleeping nodes that have 1 input cluster ON/OFF (ID 6) and 0 output clusters.
zdo bind on¶
Create a binding between two endpoints on two nodes.
zdo bind on h:source_eui64 d:source_ep h:dst_addr
d:dst_ep h:source_cluster_id h:request_dst_addr
Create bound connection between a device identified by source_eui64 and endpoint source_ep, and a device identified by destination address dst_addr and destination endpoint dst_ep. The connection is created for ZCL commands and attributes assigned to the ZCL cluster source_cluster_id on the request_dst_addr node (usually short address corresponding to source_eui64 argument).
Example:
zdo bind on 0B010E0405060708 1 0B010E4050607080 2 8
zdo bind off¶
Remove a binding between two endpoints on two nodes.
zdo bind off h:source_eui64 d:source_ep h:dst_eui64
d:destination_ep h:source_cluster_id h:request_dst_addr
Remove bound connection between a device identified by source_eui64 and endpoint source_ep, and a device identified by destination address dst_eui64 and destination endpoint dst_ep. The connection is removed for ZCL commands and attributes assigned to the ZCL cluster source_cluster_id on the request_dst_addr node (usually, the same address as for the source_eui64 device).
zdo mgmt_bind¶
Read the binding table from a node.
zdo mgmt_bind h:dst_addr [d:start_index]
Send a request to the remote device identified by the 16-bit destination address (dst_addr) to read the binding table through zdo mgmt_bind_req (see spec. 2.4.3.3.4).
If the whole binding table does not fit into a single mgmt_bind_resp frame, the request initiates a series of mgmt_bind_req requests to perform the full download of the binding table.
start_index is the index of the first entry in the binding table where the reading starts.
It is zero by default.
Example:
zdo mgmt_bind 0x1234
This command sends mgmt_bind_req to the device with short address 0x1234, asking it to return its binding table.
Sample output:
[idx] src_address src_endp cluster_id dst_addr_mode dst_addr dst_endp
[ 0] 0b010ef8872c633e 10 0x0402 3 0b010e21591eef3e 64
[ 1] 0b010ef8872c633e 10 0x0403 3 0b010e21591eef3e 64
Total entries for the binding table: 2
Done
zdo mgmt_lqi¶
Send a ZDO Mgmt_Lqi_Req command to a remote device with the short address short.
zdo mgmt_lqi h:short [d:start_index]
start_index is the index of the first entry in the binding table where the reading starts. It is zero by default.
Example:
zdo mgmt_lqi 0x1234
This command sends mgmt_lqi_req to the device with short address 0x1234, asking it to return its neighbor table.
zdo nwk_addr¶
Resolve the EUI64 address eui64 to a short network address.
zdo nwk_addr h:eui64
Example:
zdo nwk_addr 0B010E0405060708
zdo ieee_addr¶
Resolve the EUI64 address short_addr by sending the IEEE address request.
zdo ieee_addr h:short_addr
zdo mgmt_leave¶
Send a request to a remote device to leave the network through zdo mgmt_leave_req (see the specification section 2.4.3.3.5).
zdo mgmt_leave h:dst_addr [h:device_address] [--children] [--rejoin]
Send mgmt_leave_req to a remote node specified by 16-bit destination address dst_addr.
If the EUI64 device_address is omitted or it has a value equal to 0000000000000000, the remote device at address dst_addr will remove itself from the network.
If device_address has other value, it must be a long address corresponding to dst_addr or a long address of child node of dst_addr.
The request is sent with Remove Children and Rejoin flags set to 0 by default.
Use options \--children or \--rejoin to change the respective flags to 1.
For more details, see the section 2.4.3.3.5 of the specification.
Examples:
zdo mgmt_leave 0x1234
This command sends mgmt_leave_req to the device with the short address 0x1234, asking it to remove itself from the network.
zdo mgmt_leave 0x1234 --rejoin
This command sends mgmt_leave_req to the device with the short address 0x1234, asking it to remove itself from the network and perform rejoin.
zdo mgmt_leave 0x1234 0b010ef8872c633e
This command sends mgmt_leave_req to the device with the short address 0x1234, asking it to remove device 0b010ef8872c633e from the network.
If the target device with the short address 0x1234 also has a long address 0b010ef8872c633e, it will remove itself from the network.
If the target device with the short address 0x1234 has a child with long address 0b010ef8872c633e, it will remove the child from the network.
zdo mgmt_leave 0x1234 --children
This command sends mgmt_leave_req to the device with the short address 0x1234, asking it to remove itself and all its children from the network.
