DIY Programmable XBee (S2B,S2C) ZigBee integration with SmartThings

Well I don’t know how I missed this thread, but I did?

I have been having success with the regular XBee Pro s2c (I think that’s what I have, not near it right now)

I have been able to get it to join smartthings using various methods while in repeater mode.
I have 1 issue you might have an idea about, and 1 obvious question.

Question 1st, so once the XBee is joined to smartthings PAN, will it repeat / relay any radio traffic it receives or does it only dump the data out of the Output pin? It is not the programmable one you reference just the radio.

Okay now my stumbling block. I have been editing and communicating to the chip using the 32400 SUB interface board and my PC. When the chip is in the adapter board and plugged into the PC they radio will associate and join the PAN. If I use a regular 5v wall wart for power. The associate light stays solid blue. (Radio not associating) any ideas??

You can see my post in this thread where I posted more details

Hope to hear from you. You are obviously much smarter than me and my self education.
