Magneto-resistive (self-powered) switches?

It’s not enough just to be zigbee. To be compatible with SmartThings, it needs to use the zigbee home automation profile (ZHA 1.2).

FAQ: Zigbee Application Profiles, or why not all zigbee devices work with SmartThings

Zigbee is always zigbee, but the standard allows for different "profiles,"including manufacturer proprietary ones. [image] These are not all able to communicate with each other, they don’t even use the same addressing schemes. SmartThings uses the Zigbee Home Automation profile (ZHA 1.2) and part of the Zigbee 3.0 profile. Devices using other zigbee profiles may be able to join to the network, but their communications may not be understood, or they may frequently drop off because they don’t receive a handshake message they are expecting. There a lot of different ways to explain this, but I think one of the easiest is to think of zigbee as a post office and the different profiles as different languages. The outside envelope for different messages may look similar, have a specific format…

For example, the Phillips hue tap mentioned above is a zigbee device which is not directly compatible with SmartThings, because it uses the green energy profile.

My guess would be that any EnOcean device would use the same zigbee profile as the Philips Tap-- without batteries, it’s just not going to have enough power to run the more complex profiles.
