Optimizing Zigbee Device Performance: Tips and Tricks

I’ve been diving into the world of Zigbee lately, trying to optimize the performance of my smart home devices. One thing that’s been on my mind is how to efficiently read and write multiple attributes in a single command. I stumbled upon some example code that reads attributes one at a time, which got me thinking—why not try to read multiple attributes in a single command to save time and resources?

I experimented with specifying multiple attributes in a single he rattr command, like this:
plaintext
“he rattr 0x${device.deviceNetworkId} 0x${device.endpointId} 0x0300 0x0000 0x0001 0x0007 0x0008 {}”

Unfortunately, this didn’t seem to work. I also tried encoding the attribute IDs together, but that approach didn’t yield any results either. I’m curious if anyone has successfully implemented this or knows the correct syntax for specifying multiple attributes in a single command.

Another thing I’m puzzled about is the purpose of the curly braces {} at the end of the he rattr command. I’ve noticed they’re included in most examples, but I haven’t found any documentation explaining what they’re for. Are they placeholders for additional options or parameters?

If anyone has insights or tips on optimizing Zigbee attribute reads and writes, I’d love to hear them! Whether it’s about improving efficiency, avoiding common pitfalls, or best practices for device communication, your experiences would be invaluable. Let’s keep the conversation going and help each other make the most out of our Zigbee setups!
