Multi switch and sketch Zigbee_Contact_Switch.ino #11418

Hello everyone,
I'm experimenting with Zigbee on an ESP32-C6 to eliminate the need for Wi-Fi.
I tested the Zigbee_Contact_Switch.ino sketch; it works very well, but I need to manage multiple switches on the ESP32-C6.
I've searched everywhere (internet, documentation) but haven't found anything. The various tests I've run (creating endpoints, etc.) haven't worked.
Thanks in advance if anyone can help me.

Hi @JetRob, the contact switch endpoint uses IAS Zone cluster. You can try to add more instances of the class with different endpoint number:

ZigbeeContactSwitch zbContactSwitch_1 = ZigbeeContactSwitch(1);
ZigbeeContactSwitch zbContactSwitch_2 = ZigbeeContactSwitch(2);
ZigbeeContactSwitch zbContactSwitch_3 = ZigbeeContactSwitch(3);

But there might be a limitation of the Zigbee IAS cluster due to security.
So for you the binary input may work pretty well :)

#define BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER 1

ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch0 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch1 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 1);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch2 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 2);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch3 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 3);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch4 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 4);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch5 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 5);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch6 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 6);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch7 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 7);

This is tested and works well with the HA. Also as it's binary it's just 2 states like the contact switch. You can give it a try :)

@P-R-O-C-H-Y
Thanks for your reply.
I tested the "zigbee-binary-input.ino" sketch by modifying it as indicated in your message:

#define BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER 1

ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch0 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER);
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch1 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER + 1);

But when compiling with arduino ide v2.3.6, I got an error message:

E:\Zigbee_Binary_Input\Zigbee_Binary_Input.ino:40:1: error: 'ZigbeeBinary' does not name a type 
40 | ZigbeeBinary zbBinaryFan = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER);

While line 40 is:
ZigbeeBinary zbBinarySwitch0 = ZigbeeBinary(BINARY_DEVICE_ENDPOINT_NUMBER);

thank you for your help

The ZigbeeBinary was added recently: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/libraries/Zigbee/src/ep/ZigbeeBinary.h
If you are using the 3.2.0 you don't have it yet. You need to wait for a next release or use manual install and use the master branch :)
