Hi John, I have a subscription to the Nuts and Volts and have read both of your articles with regard to Smartthings. I thought there was to be a second article about “CoopBoss” from last January, but in June you came out with the Analog Panel meter article. Both very good articles…
With your extensive knowledge of the Zigbee radio and its HA protocol, I would invite you to design an Arduino shield based on the same premise as the propeller design ( coopboss), i.e the ability to have both control and data at the mobile hand set.
Samsung in it’s great wisdom have discontinued their version of the Arduino Thing Shield, and I believe you and another Nuts and Volts article could design/build/sell the replacement shield, using the same radio as you used in your other two projects. The Xbee XBP24CZ7UIS-004. This radio is readily available from Digikey… Right up your alley … I’ll take 4 units.
Thanks
Ben
