Add Xbee later

Post by tricky67 » Thu Jun 30, 2011 4:24 am

Can I purchase a serial only ECM1240 now and add an Xbee module later on to get wireless connectivity?

Can I use my own Xbee Zigbee controller (Series 2.5)?

Hey Tricky,

The Xbee ECM-1240 uses different firmware and requires re-calibration to accept the module.

By controller, do you mean Gateway? If so, you can but you'll have to contact us via email for the settings.

Hi Ben,

I am thinking of building a Zigbee network for some home automation stuff using xbee. Could the ECM1240 be part of my Zigbee network if I purchased the wireless version of the ECM1240?

I'll have to speak with some others here, maybe we can configure the Xbee module for your PAN.

Send me an email (ben(at)brultech.com).
