In the above example, the Frame Control was constructed as follows:
See the ZigBee Cluster Library specification for details.
Sending Public Profile Commands with the API
Commands in the Smart Energy Application Profile can be sent with the XBee API using the Explicit
Transmit API frame (0x11). Sending public profile commands with the Explicit Transmit API frame
requires some formatting of the data payload field. Most of the public profile commands fit into the
ZigBee Cluster Library (ZCL) architecture as described in the previous section.
The following table shows how the Explicit API frame can be used to send a demand response and
load control message (cluster ID 0x701) in the Smart Energy profile (profile ID 0x0109) in the
revision 14 Smart Energy specification. The message will be a "Load Control Event" (command ID
0x00) and will be sent to a device with 64-bit address of 0x0013A200 40401234 with a 16-bit
address of 0x5678. The event will start a load control event for water heaters and smart
appliances, for a duration of 1 minute, starting immediately.
Note: When sending public profile commands, the AO command should be set to 1 to enable the
explicit receive API frame. This will provide indication of the source 64- and 16-bit addresses,
cluster ID, profile ID, and endpoint information for each received packet. This information is
required to properly decode received data.
