Hi Stuart,

Thanks

Hi Yogi,

I have 3 x XBee Pro series 2 (and 1 blown up ), 3 x XBee Series 2 and 2 x XBee Series 1. Some of those were ordered by a friend of mine and i don’t even know where he got them from, and some i bought myself at http://www.antratek.nl. No secret source

Hi there,

I would like to know where you buy this stuff. As it seems you bought a lot of Xbee modules and the cheapest Pro’s I could find were like $40 ?

Or do you have a secret source ?

Thanks,

Yogi.

Hi Saad,

To get the XBee (Series 2) into API mode, use the X-CTU tool to write the right firmware to the XBee. That’s it, basically..
I wrote my own software to be able to create, send, receive and process API packets.
So what you’re seeing is output from my own software which is part of my Domotica (Home Automation) system.

The XStick is a USB peripheral module adapter that provides short-range wireless connectivity to an XBee network. I use it as an API mode Coordinator.

Hi there,

I am doing a school project on this and I cannot figure out how to get the xbee in API mode running :-(. What did you use to view the above output?? What is XStick? I put the XBEE modules (2) on two arduino boards. Please Help. Email me at lpsaad@gmail.com. Thanks!

Comment on Extra display option for Proliphix NT20e by Robert Hekkers

You guessed right Not a script but from my (self made) Domotica system. The thermostat is being polled every minute and the ‘commonDevName’ object is used to change the Device Name to show the current outside temperature. As outside temperature sensor i use a Oregon Scientific sensor which is received by a RFXCOM receiver.
