Been looking thru documentation on the thingshield. My question is if I have the right Zigbee module (with HA) could I pair it up with one of my arduinos to roll my own? Would I then be able to use the ST_Anything?
My ST_Anything library is designed to work specifically with the ST ThingShield. The ThigShield essentially provides serial communications over Zigbee, bidirectionally, between the Arduino and the ST cloud servers.
The Zigbee controller on the ThingShield has some special firmware loaded on to it. This firmware allows it to pair with the ST Hub, and utilize a very simplified, generic, Device Handle.
Much of the ST_Anything library could be reused, with small modification to the Everything class, to allow it to work with a different communications method.
