Network Creator#

API and Callbacks for the Network Creator Component.

This component performs the necessary steps to create a network according to the Base Device Behavior specification. The component performs an active scan followed by an energy scan across a primary channel set to decide which channel(s) are valid candidates for network formation. If the component fails to form a network on any primary channels, it moves to a secondary channel mask. Before every attempt at network formation, this component sets up the stack to use Zigbee 3.0 security.

API#

EmberStatus
emberAfPluginNetworkCreatorStart(bool centralizedNetwork)

void

Stop the network creator process.

EmberStatus
emberAfPluginNetworkCreatorNetworkForm(bool centralizedNetwork, EmberPanId panId, int8_t radioTxPower, uint8_t channel)

Command the network creator to form a centralized network.
