Hello Joey,
Thank you for the reply and clarifying ZigBee with Iotivity implementation. Is it expected that any of the ZigBee manufacturer OEMs to support Iotivity in near future?. As we are a startup and trying to implement Iotivity framework in our product, We would like to get native support from the ZigBee OEMs. Regards, Karthikeyan ________________________________ From: Morrow, Joseph L <[email protected]> Sent: 19 August 2016 02:13 To: Karthikeyan P; iotivity-dev at lists.iotivity.org Subject: RE: Iotivity with Zigbee Hello Karthikeyan, Currently, the only implementation of ZigBee is against ZigBee Home Automation spec 1.2 using Telegesis AT Command Set API (AT Command Set is documented here: ). This API is up-leveled and abstracted at [IOTIVITY]/plugins/zigbee_wrapper. If you wanted to bring in support for other ZigBee modules, you will need to write a sister module to "[IOTIVITY]/plugins/zigbee_wrapper/telegesis_wrapper" (for example, for 'xbee' you would have to create "[IOTIVITY]/plugins/zigbee_wrapper/xbee_wrapper" module entirely). As for your firmware questions, you will have to perform some analysis of the way the module "Zigbee_Wrapper" abstracts the "Telegesis_Wrapper" module. From there you will need to do further analysis on how this abstraction may/may not apply to XBee/SILabs APIs and conclude what changes may be needed to either Firmware of XBee/SILabs or what changes may be needed in the "Zigbee_Wrapper module. From here, you would need to document and request the community to make these changes or you can go ahead and contribute the changes in a review at any time. As of now, the implementation in IoTivity for ZigBee is specific to Telegesis, but was architected to allow for other module types as you've stated. AFAIK, The addition of other modules has been ignored for the timebeing as the APIs for the other module types (XBee/SILabs APIs) don't meld well with IoTivity's open source license type (this difference in license types could affect IoTivity releases to the general public).

I tried looking at few documents and finally got this<https://wiki.iotivity.org/zigbee_plugin_-_using_plugin_interface_module>. I would like to know whether ordinary ZigBee modules such as XBee or Silicon Labs EM35X series could be used to implement Iotivity. If yes, What type of implementation required in firmware part?.
