Hi guys, I'm looking at Zigbee options for Linux.  In practical
terms, there seems to be this project and the stuff done by
EmberZNet.

My most immediate problem however is that the linux-zigbee tools
don't compile for my eventual target (OpenWrt) since that has
a rather newer version of libnl than is in e.g, Ubuntu.  So,
I need some patches there ;-)

My target ZigBee hardware is the EM260 over a serial port and also some
other USB dongle, which I don't know the details of just yet,
which I guess will also be serial.

I have the sources to the Ember stuff from the target hardware's
SDK, ported to OpenWrt without issue, and that seems to "just work",
but I really don't know enough about the parts and layers to
try stuff out.   My most recent background is working with OpenZWave
which I've done a great deal improvement to.

So, I could do with a primer of ZigBee (esp. vs Z-Wave) at this kind
of level, as well as a comparison of the two solutions.  If linux-zigbee
seems right for us, then I'll hopefully be making contributions here
too.

Regards.
