Dear experts,

I have project that design the Led light control using Zigbee module from Digi International. Anybody can help me the protocol, message command between Zigbee device and SmartThings hub? where to find this document.

Thanks and best regards.

Here is a[thread that talks about how to setup your Digi ZigBee SMT module to work with SmartThings](https://community.smartthings.com/t/faq-mapping-your-zigbee-network-with-digis-xctu/28477). That will at least get you connected to the network. From there you will need to format your packets according to the ZigBee public cluster library. You most likely will want to drive your xBee with a microcontroller. Here is a [post I wrote on how to do that with a Propeller microcontroller](http://forums.parallax.com/discussion/157233/propeller-to-smartthings-communicating-with-the-zigbee-ha-public-profile#latest) from Parallax.
