Is your feature request related to a problem?

Hi, I would like to ask for some sample code for a gateway between RS-485 and Zigbee.

Describe the solution you'd like

I want to expand the Zigbee network using an RS-485 network. I will have several ESP32-C6 connected via RS-485. The first ESP32-C6/RS485 will be connected to the Zigbee coordinator via Zigbee. The coordinator will then use RS485 to connect to the second to Xth ESP32-C6/485, which will allow Zigbee devices to be registered with the coordinator. I hope I have described it clearly enough. Thank you.

If you want to build a gateway I think you also need states of connected ZIGBEE EPs
This is a problem that I need to solve my Feature request
How to get the state of a ZIGBEE EP i.e. a lamp
Do you have a solution or is there already an example?

I want to expand the Zigbee network using an RS-485 network.

I think that this is an specific user gateway application implementation. It is not a Zigbee feature.
There are many RS485 Arduino Libraries for ESP32 SoCs.
Is it going to use Modbus? Or some proprierary protocol?

The gateway shall implement both sides, with message/protocol translation.

This issue will be migrated to Discussions.
