Rejoin Network Command - ( PH:0x01, SH:0x05 )

The Rejoin Network command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to prompt the latter to rejoin the network to which it is currently joined. Though the Module may automatically engage in Rejoin behavior when having lost the connection to the network (i.e., as determined by the Network Heartbeat), this command provides facilities for the Host to manually engage the process (i.e., to re-initiate Service Discovery and Binding). The command has no payload.

Effect on Receipt

The application will enter the Rejoin state, alternating between Secure Rejoin and Trust Center Rejoin until it successfully rejoins the network.

Network Status Request Command - ( PH:0x01, SH:0x08 )

The Network Status Request is sent by the Host to the Module to query the application Network State. The Host is not required to issue this command, as the Module will automatically issue a Network Status Response on any change of the application Network State. The command has no payload.

Effect on Receipt

The Module will respond with a Network Status Response.

Network Status Response Command - ( PH:0x01, SH:0x09 )

The Network Status Response is sent by the Module to the Host, either as a response to the Network Status Request command, or automatically upon a change to the application Network State or Permit Join Duration (i.e., on transition from non-zero to zero or vice versa).

Payload for Network Status Response Command

Trust Center Device Update Command - ( PH:0x01, SH:0x10 )

When the application ZigBee device type is configured as a coordinator and a network has been formed, the Trust Center Device Update command is sent by the Module to the Host when any device attempts to join or leave that network.

Payload for Trust Center Device Update Command

Event Triggers explained:

MAC Association -- a device's attempt to join the network. Seeing this does not mean that a device successfully joined, however. The indication for when the device joining successfully is when you see Device Announce.
Secure Rejoin -- this is a device rejoining the network using the network key
Trust Center Rejoin -- this is a device rejoining the network without the network key. It needs to get the network key from the Trust Center, which sends the network key encrypted using the trust center key.
Network Leave -- a device leaving the network.  

Network Auto Join Command - ( PH:0x01, SH:0x11 )

The Network Auto Join command is sent by the Host to the Module to prompt the Module to scan all channels for X number of retries and with Y number of seconds delay between each scan.

The Install Code Response frame is sent by the Module to the Host when queried with an Install Code Request. 

Payload for Install Code Response Command

Link Key Write Command - ( PH:0x02, SH:0x05 )

The Link Key Write command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to set the application Preconfigured Link Key. The Host may only set the Preconfigured Link Key while the application is in the Network Down state.

If the Host subsequently forms a network as a coordinator, the key will be applied as the Global Trust Center Link Key. Otherwise, if the Host joins a network as either a router or end device, the key will be applied as the Joining Key.

The Preconfigured Link Key is not stored in non-volatile memory and must therefore be set prior to forming or joining a network subsequent to a Reset or power-cycle. If the Host does not manually set the key, the application will use the default Preconfigured Link Key specified by the ZigBee Home Automation Specification.

Payload for Link Key Write Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will apply this Preconfigured Link Key when it either forms or joins a network, the latter when the Joining Key Option corresponds to Preconfigured Link Key.

Link Key Request Command - ( PH:0x02, SH:0x06 )

The Network Key is only applied if the Host subsequently forms a network as a coordinator. If serving as a router or end device, the application will receive a Network Key from the network Trust Center.

The Network Key is not stored in non-volatile memory and must therefore be set prior to forming a network subsequent to a Reset or power-cycle. If the Host does not manually set the key, the application will generate a random value for it upon forming a network.

Payload for Network Key Write Command

Network Key Request Command - ( PH:0x02, SH:0x09 )

The Network Key Request command is sent by the Host to the Module to query the application Network Key. The Module will respond with a Network Key Response.

Device Type Write Command - ( PH:0x03, SH:0x00 )

The Device Type Write command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to configure the application’s IEEE functional device type. The Host is only required to issue this command once after synchronizing with a factory default Module for the first time, as the configuration is preserved in the application’s non-volatile memory.

The Module may be configured to behave as either a Full-Function Device (FFD) or Reduced-Function Device (RFD). An FFD has facilities for routing network messages as either a coordinator or a router, while an RFD may only join a network as a non-routing end node

If the Host configures the Module as an RFD, it may additionally configure the application to serve as either a non-sleepy or sleepy end device, with the latter configuration serving to conserve power should the given device be battery powered or otherwise consumption-sensitive.

Payload for Device Type Write Command

Effect on Receipt 

If the command is valid, the Module will update the setting and save it to non-volatile memory while also relaying a Device Type Response to the Host to confirm the setting. The following table lists the possible Status Responses on reception of the command.

The command may specify as many attributes as the maximum payload capacity of a RapidHA frame allows. For a cluster with large number of attributes, the command may be issued as many times as required.

Please note the application automatically adds mandatory attributes to all configured known clusters, i.e., those already defined in the ZCL or HA specifications. Thus, a simple Host implementation may not need to send this command, or only send it to add optional attributes.

Payload for Add Attributes to Cluster Command

Attribute Definition Record Format

Effect on Receipt 

The Module will submit the payload of the received command to a series of checks:

• • That there is sufficient memory available for all specified attributes
  • That the target endpoint and cluster exist

The Register Commands Passthru message is sent by the Host to the Module to create an index of those cluster commands that the Module should pass through directly to the Host without additional processing. That is, the Host may specify supported commands that would otherwise result in additional action being taken by the Module on their reception, or commands not supported by the Module that would otherwise not be passed to the Host on their reception.

Specifying a Commands Count of 0x00 indicates that all received commands should be directly passed through to the Host.

 Payload for Register Commands Passthru

Effect on Receipt

The Module will register the given commands in non-volatile memory and refer to the list on reception of ZCL commands. The following table lists the possible Status Responses on reception of the command.

ZDO Message Frames (0x04)

This section describes the two ways, unicast and broadcast, for the Host to send a ZDO command. It also describes the commands sent by the Module to communicate ZDO-level information to the Host.

Send ZDO Unicast Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x01 )

The Send ZDO Unicast command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to prompt the Module to send a ZDO message to a single destination node. The command configures the following options:

• custom sequence numbers
• reception of APS ACK
• reception of ZDO Response Received

Payload for Send ZDO Unicast Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will attempt to issue the ZDO message over the network. The status of the transmission and its assigned sequence number will be relayed to the Host via a ZDO Send Status command.

To know whether the destination node has successfully received a message, the Host should enable reception of APS ACK status messages via the Response Options field. On reception the Module relays these messages to the Host as ZDO APS Ack commands.

If the given message is a request (e.g., ZDO Bind Request or ZDO Simple Descriptor Request) and the Host expects a response, it should enable the option to receive a ZDO Response Received, via the Response Options field. On reception of a message with a matching sequence number, the Module will relay the response to the Host via the ZDO Response Received command. If no response is received within a given interval, the Module will instead issue a ZDO Response Timeout command to the Host.

Send ZDO Broadcast Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x02 )

The Send ZDO Broadcast command is sent by the Host to the Module to prompt the Module to broadcast a ZDO Message across the network.  

Payload for Send ZDO Broadcast Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will try to broadcast the message over the network. The status of the transmission and its assigned sequence number will be relayed to the Host via a ZDO Send Status command.

ZDO Send Status Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x03 )

The ZDO Send Status message is sent by the Module to the Host after the transmission of a Send ZDO Unicast or Send ZDO Broadcast. The message conveys the success or failure of the transmission. If the Status indicates Success, the message will also convey a value for the Transaction Sequence Number assigned to it.

Payload for ZDO Send Status Command

Expected Host Action

No action is expected from the Host as the command is for notification purposes only. The Host may choose to display the Status in some manner, or it may also choose to re-send the message if the Status indicates an error occurred.

The Host also retains the option to store the Transaction Sequence Number associated with any outgoing message, such that it may match received ZDO Send Status messages to the requests that triggered them.

ZDO APS Ack Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x04 )

The ZDO APS Ack command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of an equivalent acknowledgement from the network, triggered by the initial transmission of a ZDO message that required an APS Ack among its Response Options. The Module will also generate the command when a given acknowledgment is not received and therefore times out.

Payload for ZDO APS Ack Command

Expected Host Action

No action is expected from the Host. The command is for notification purposes only. If an APS Ack times out, the Host retains the option of retransmitting the original message.

ZDO Response Received Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x05 )

The ZDO Response Received command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of ZDO Message from the network. That is, the command is generated if the Host configured an outgoing Send ZDO Unicast or Broadcast request with Response Options indicating that a response is expected (i.e. enable reception of ZDO Response Received with corresponding Transaction Sequence Number, though the application will also verify the Source Node ID and Command ID). 

Payload for ZDO Response Received Command

Expected Host Action

None.

ZDO Response Timeout Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x06 )

The ZDO Response Timeout command is sent by the Module to the Host when an expected ZDO Response Received command to an outgoing Send ZDO Unicast or Send ZDO Broadcast is not received within a given interval after transmission. The fixed timeout period is 10 seconds.

Note: When a Send ZDO Broadcast command is sent from the Host to the Module, the Module will open a receive window to listen for incoming responses. Once the Module is no longer listening for responses, it will also send a ZDO Response Timeout command back to the Host to signify that the receive window is closed.

Payload for ZDO Response Timeout Command

Expected Host Action

None. The Host retains the option of retransmitting the original message or may otherwise register an error condition.

ZDO Device Announce Received Command - ( PH:0x04, SH:0x1E )

The ZDO Device Announce Received frame is sent by the Module to the Host when a new device announces itself on the network.

Payload for ZDO Device Response Received Command

Back to Top

ZCL Message Frames (0x05)

This section describes the three ways, unicast, multicast and broadcast, available to the Host to send a ZCL command. In addition, it describes the commands used by the Host to read and write attributes that were previously configured using the ZigBee Support Configurations commands. This section also includes commands sent from the Module to convey responses and statuses from commands previously sent by the Host. It also describes the command used by the Module to pass through ZCL commands that have been registered by the Host using the Register Commands Passthru command.

Send ZCL Unicast Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x00 )

The Send ZCL Unicast command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to transmit a custom ZCL message to a target node. The command provides facilities for configuring the Encryption Level of the message, either with Network or Network + APS Encryption, as well as available Response Options, including custom sequence numbers, requiring an APS ACK or enabling processing of a corresponding response with a matching transaction sequence number.

Payload for Send ZCL Unicast Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will attempt to issue the ZCL message over the network. The status of the transmission and its assigned sequence number will be relayed to the Host via a ZCL Send Status command.

If the Host wishes to know whether the Destination Node has successfully received a message, it should enable reception of APS ACK status messages via the Response Options field. On reception the Module relays these messages to the Host as ZCL APS Ack commands.

If the given message is a request (e.g., Read Attribute Request, Add Group, etc.) and the Host expects a response, it should enable the option to receive a ZCL Response Received command, via the same field. On reception of a message with a matching sequence number, the Module will relay the response to the Host via the ZCL Response Received command. If no response is received within a given interval, the Module will instead issue a ZCL Response Timeout command to the Host.

Send ZCL Multicast Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x01 )

The Send ZCL Multicast command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to prompt the latter to multicast a ZCL Message to a select Group of target devices on the network. Unlike Send ZCL Unicast messages, multicast messages cannot be APS-encrypted; that is, they are encrypted on the Network layer only.

Payload for Send ZCL Multicast Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will try to transmit the message over the network, for reception and processing by the devices in the target Group. The status of the transmission and its assigned sequence number will be relayed to the Host via a ZCL Send Status command.

Send ZCL Broadcast Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x02 )

The Send ZCL Broadcast command is sent by the Host to the Module in order to prompt the latter to broadcast a ZCL Message to the network. Unlike Send ZCL Unicast messages, broadcast messages cannot be APS-encrypted; they are encrypted on the Network layer only.

Payload for Send ZCL Broadcast Command

The Module will try to broadcast the message over the network. The status of the transmission and its assigned sequence number will be relayed to the Host via a ZCL Send Status command.

ZCL Send Status Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x03 )

The ZCL Send Status message is sent by the Module to the Host after the transmission of a Send ZCL Unicast, Send ZCL Multicast or Send ZCL Broadcast. The message conveys the success or failure of the preceding transmission. If the Status indicates success, the message will also convey a value for the Transaction Sequence Number assigned to it.

Payload for ZCL Send Status Command

Expected Host Action

No action is expected of the Host as the command is for notification purposes only. The Host may choose to display the Status in some manner, or it may also choose to re-send the message if the Status indicates an error occurred.

The Host also retains the option to store the Transaction Sequence Number associated with any outgoing message, such that it may match received ZCL Send Status messages to the requests that triggered them.

ZCL APS Ack Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x10 )

The ZCL APS Ack command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of an equivalent acknowledgement from the network, triggered by the initial transmission of a ZCL message that required an APS Ack among its Response Options. The Module will also generate the command when a given acknowledgment is not received and therefore times out.

Payload for ZCL APS Ack Command

 Expected Host Action

No action is expected from the Host. The command is for notification purposes only. If an APS Ack times out, the Host retains the option of retransmitting the original message.

ZCL Response Received Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x11 )

The ZCL Response Received command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of ZCL message from the network. That is, the command is generated if the Host had configured an outgoing Send ZCL Unicast or Send ZCL Broadcast with Response Options indicating that a response is expected (i.e. enable reception of ZCL Response Received with corresponding Transaction Sequence Number, though the application will also verify the Source Node ID and Command ID).

Payload for ZCL Response Received Command

 Expected Host Action

None.

ZCL Response Timeout Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x12 )

The ZCL Response Timeout command is sent by the Module to the Host when an expected ZCL Response Received to an outgoing Send ZCL Unicast or Broadcast request is not received within a given interval after transmission. The fixed timeout period is 10 seconds.

Payload for ZCL Response Timeout Command

Expected Host Action

None. The Host retains the option of retransmitting the original message or may otherwise register an error condition.

Received Attribute Write Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x14 )

The Received Attribute Write command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Attribute Write command from the source node on the network. The command serves to inform the Host of a change to the value of an attribute along with source of the change and the value itself.

Payload for Received Attribute Write Command

Expected Host Action

None. The Host retains the option to handle a change to an attribute value in any desired manner.

 ZCL Passthru Message Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x20 )

The ZCL Passthru Message command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a ZCL Message which has been registered by the Host using the Register Commands Passthru facility (that is, to prevent the application from processing the command in order to pass it directly to the Host; see the Register Commands Passthru command).

Payload for ZCL Passthru Message Command

ZCL Read Attribute Request Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x30 )

The ZCL Read Attribute Request command is sent from the Host to the Module to query attributes on a target network device. The command may be used to query multiple attributes on a cluster, with the subsequent responses relayed to the Host one attribute at a time.

Payload for ZCL Read Attribute Request Command

Effect on Receipt

The Module will transmit the query to the target device. The response is forwarded to the Host as a ZCL Read Attribute Response. If the response conveys multiple attributes, the Module relays each to the Host as an individual ZCL Read Attribute Response.

The table below lists the possible error statuses returned by the Status Response for this command.

Status Responses to ZCL Read Attribute Request Command 

ZCL Read Attribute Response Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x31 )

The ZCL Read Attribute Response command is sent by the Module to the Host in response to a successful ZCL Read Attribute Request. A response conveys the properties of a single queried attribute. As such, if the request successfully queried multiple attributes, the Host will in turn receive multiple responses.

Payload for ZCL Read Attribute Response Command

Expected Host Action

None.

ZCL Write Attribute Request Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x32 )

The ZCL Attribute Write Request is sent by the Host to the Module to modify the value of an attribute on a target network device. The command allows for multiple attributes on the same endpoint and cluster to be written to in one operation.

Payload for ZCL Write Attribute Request Command

Attribute Write Record

Effect on Receipt

The Module will transmit the command to the target device. The response is forwarded to Host as a ZCL Write Attribute Response.

The table below lists the possible status return values for this command.

Status Responses to ZCL Write Attribute Request Command

ZCL Write Attribute Response Command - ( PH:0x05, SH:0x33 )

The ZCL Write Attribute Response is sent by the Module to the Host in response to a successful ZCL Write Attribute Request. The frame conveys the Overall Status of the write request. Note that if the Overall Status indicates success no Attribute Write Failed Records are included in the payload.

Payload for ZCL Write Attribute Response Command

Attribute Write Failed Record

If there are any attributes not written (i.e., the write attempt failed) then the payload of the ZCL Write Attribute Response command will contain an Attribute Write Failed Record for each one of the attributes not written.

Attribute Write Failed Record

Expected Host Action

None.

General Cluster Frames (0x11)

The General Clusters command set encompasses the following mandatory ZCL clusters in the general domain:

• Basic
• Identify
• Time

The mandatory commands associated with a given General Cluster are made available only if that cluster is first appended to the application endpoint configuration. For example, the Identify Start and Identify Stop commands will become available to the Host only after it configures an application endpoint with the Identify server cluster.

Received Reset to Factory Default Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x00 )

The Received Reset to Factory Default command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Basic cluster Reset to Factory Default command from the network. The command has no payload.

Please note: RapidHA does not currently support this command. If the Host sends a Reset to Factory Default command, the Module will respond with UNSUPPORTED_CLUSTER_COMMAND (0x81) and will not trigger the Received Reset to Factory Default command.

Expected Host Action

The Host is expected to reset the values of all supported attributes to their factory defaults. If the Host possesses these values, it should apply the Attribute Write command to re-write them.

Identify Start Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x10 )

The Identify Start command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of an Identify cluster Identify command from the network. Specifically, the command conveys the ID of the endpoint on which the Identify action should occur and will only be passed to the Host at its required time of execution.

Payload for Identify Start Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall initiate its Identify action (e.g., blinking LED, etc.) on the specified endpoint.

Identify Stop Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x11 )

The Identify Stop command is sent by the Module to the Host on expiration of a preceding Identify Start command (i.e., when the Identify Time duration of that command has been expended) or on reception of an explicit command from the network prompting the application to stop identifying on the given endpoint.

Payload for Identify Stop Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall stop its Identify action on the specified endpoint.

Time Client Get Time Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x40 )

The Time Client Get Time command is sent by the Host to the Module to query the UTC and Local Time attributes of the application. Appending the Time cluster to the application endpoint configuration enables the application Time client, which automatically synchronizes its time with the network Time server. The command has no payload.  

Effect on Receipt

The Module will respond with the Time Client Get Time Response command.

Time Client Get Time Response Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x41 )

The Time Client Get Time Response command is sent by the Module to the Host in response to a Time Client Get Time request. The command conveys both the current UTC and Local Time, as maintained by the application in synchronization with the network Time Server.

Payload for Time Client Get Time Response Command

Expected Host Action

The Host retains the option of using the response to maintain its own UTC and Local Time.

Time Client Time Changed Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x42 )

The Time Client Time Changed command is sent by the Module to the Host to inform the Host of a change to the Current UTC Time and/or Current Local Time, as retrieved from the network Time Server. The command is also generated when the application first synchronizes its time with the Time Server. The command has no payload.

Expected Host Action

The Host should update its time by performing a Time Client Get Time query.

Network Time Sync Period Write Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x43 )

The Network Time Sync Period Write command is sent from the Host to the Module to modify how often the Time Server will be polled by the device. The command conveys the time sync period in minutes.

By default the Time Server is polled every five minutes. This applies to all device types, including sleepy devices. Since such devices are battery-powered, it is good practice to minimize network communication when possible. Polling the Time Server every five minutes is considered excessive for a sleepy device. 

Payload for Network Time Synch Period Write Command

Network Time Sync Period Request Command - ( PH:0x011, SH:0x44 )

The Network Time Sync Period Request command is sent from the Host to the Module to read the current value for the time sync period. The command has no payload.

HA Clusters (0x12)

The HA clusters command set encompasses the following ZCL clusters for common HA applications:

• On/Off
• Level Control
• Power Configuration
• Lock/Unlock Door (under development)

The mandatory commands associated with a given HA cluster are only made available if that cluster is first appended to the application endpoint configuration. For example, the On/Off State Update command will only become available to the Host after it configures an application endpoint with the On/Off server cluster.

On/Off State Update Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x00 )

The On/Off State Update command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a network command that modifies the On/Off attribute value on the given endpoint (i.e. that which supports the On/Off server cluster). The command contains the current On/Off state and indicates if it was updated by a local or remote source.

Payload for On/Off State Update Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall modify its hardware output appropriately based on the new On/Off state. For example, if the given device is a light switch and the command indicates a new state of “On” the switch should be turned on.

Move to Level Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x20 )

The Move to Level command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Move to Level command from the network, targeted to an endpoint on which the application supports the Level Control server cluster.

Payload for Move to Level Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall modify its hardware output appropriately based on the new Level. For example, if the given device is a dimmer, the Host shall dim the connected light to the light level corresponding to the given Level value. In this example, if the Host controls multiple dimmers on disparate endpoints, the change in Level should only be applied to the dimmer identified by the target Endpoint ID.

If the withOnOff flag is “True” the Host must update the CurrentLevel attribute of the Level Control server cluster and the OnOff attribute of the On/Off cluster. The CurrentLevel attribute must be set to the value given in the Level field of the command payload. If the Level field is non-zero, the OnOff attribute must be set to On. Otherwise, the Level field is zero and the OnOff attribute must be set to Off.

Level Move Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x21 )

The Level Move command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Move command from the network, targeted to an endpoint on which the application supports the Level Control server cluster. The command conveys both the expected Direction and Rate of movement.

Payload for Level Move Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall modify its hardware output appropriately based on the given Direction and Rate of movement specified. The movement is not expected to stop until reception of a Level Stop command or until further movement is not possible (i.e. maximum or minimum Level reached).

If the withOnOff flag is “True” the Host must update the CurrentLevel attribute of the Level Control server cluster and the OnOff attribute of the On/Off cluster.

Level Step Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x22 )

The Level Step command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Step command from the network, targeted to an endpoint on which the application supports the Level Control server cluster. The command conveys both the expected direction of movement (up or down) and unit size of each step.

Payload for Level Step Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall modify its hardware output appropriately based on the given Step Mode, Step Size and Transition Time specified. The movement is not expected to stop until reception of a Level Stop command or until further movement is not possible (i.e., maximum or minimum Level reached).

If the withOnOff flag is “True” the Host must update the CurrentLevel attribute of the Level Control server cluster and the OnOff attribute of the On/Off cluster.

Level Stop Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x23 )

The Level Stop command is sent by the Module to the Host on reception of a Stop command from the network, targeted to an endpoint on which the application supports the Level Control server cluster.

Payload for Level Stop Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall stop all Level Control movement on the specified hardware endpoint.

Check Battery Attribute Command - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x24 )

The Check Battery Attribute command is sent from the Host to the Module which triggers the Module to check the battery voltage. The command has no payload. It is recommended that this command be called after updating the battery voltage attribute.

Effect on Receipt

Module responds with a Status Response. If the battery voltage is lower than the threshold voltage, an alarm will be sent out through the OTA client.

Status Response to Check Battery Attribute Command

Move To Level With On/Off Status - ( PH:0x012, SH:0x25 )

The Move to Level with On/Off status command is sent by the Module to the Host whenever the Current Level and OnOff status change as a result of incoming Level Control cluster commands. 

When the Module receives incoming Level Control cluster commands (Move to Level, Move, Step) over the air, it computes the changes to Current Level and OnOff, and send the result to Host. If the level change requires a transition (e.g. move from 0 to 100 in 5 seconds), the Module will send the Host a series of Move To Level With OnOff Status every 50ms til the end of the transition time. Thus, the Module takes care of the ZigBee cluster logic; Host only needs to modify the hardware output based on the changes.

Payload for Move to Level With On/Off Command

Expected Host Action

The Host shall modify its hardware output appropriately based on the new Level and new OnOff status. For example, if the given device is a dimmer, the Host shall dim the connected light to the light level corresponding to the given Level value. In this example, if the Host controls multiple dimmers on disparate endpoints, the change in Level should only be applied to the dimmer identified by the target Endpoint ID.

The Host is otherwise required to mirror the state indicated by the On/Off Status parameter on the physical device. 

Example Payload

• (Indicating Level 100, Transition Time 0, On/Off Status ON) F1 12 25 BB 05 16 64 00 00 01 72 01 [RHAMoveToLevel]
