How to enable the Conbee ZigBee Controller to enable joining as a controller. about deconz-serial-protocol HOT 5 CLOSED

CHANGE_NETWORK_STATE (0x08) force, if the role of the stick is controller, should force it into a join allowed by forcing the network state to NET_CONNECTED ?

This forms the network, if the role is set as coordinator. This is different from opening the network to allow new devices to join.

To allow new devices to join, you write a value in n seconds into the permit_join network parameter

@Adminiuga thanks for the reply, tried looking it up in the spec found in this repository (the link :-) ) as indeed I would expect that you have to configure a permit_join parameter somewhere but I can not find such a parameter in the specification. I would have expected that in chapter: "6. Configure Network Parameters"
Could it be that the specification is misisng this parameter in this spec: https://deconz.dresden-elektronik.de/raspbian/deCONZ-Serial-Protocol-en_1.21.pdf

Yeah, you are right. Just checked the docs again and it is not there.
It's parameter ID #0x21 t.uint8 value in seconds. 0 - closes the network, non zero -opens the network for N seconds. 255 is supposed to keep the network permanently opened, although I have not tested this and per ZB3 specs devices should not keep the network permanently opened

I was using this https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-deconz/blob/22f07a4cce0f256b49b077827c6a9b26bc586250/zigpy_deconz/api.py#L172 for reference

@Adminiuga Thanks you very much. This makes sense!
