Hello fellow smart home enthusiasts! I’ve been diving into the world of ZigBee and XBee devices with my Hubitat setup, and I wanted to share some insights and questions I’ve encountered along the way. While I’ve managed to get my XBee devices registered and communicating with the hub, there’s one thing that’s been puzzling me: understanding the status message format.
I’ve been able to send text messages to the hub, and it logs the interactions perfectly. However, I’m curious about the structure of these status messages. Are they JSON, XML, or something else entirely? If I want to send a simple status update like “Device is ON,” what would that message look like? I’ve scoured the internet for answers, but it seems like this is a bit of a mystery!
If anyone out there has experience with ZigBee or XBee status messages, I’d love to hear your tips or any resources you might have stumbled upon. Whether it’s a format example or a helpful guide, your insights would be invaluable. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other unlock the full potential of these devices!
Cheers to building smarter homes together!
