Sending Remote AT commands to Remote Xbee using python-xbee

I have connected coordinator xbee to serial port of beaglebone i.e . tx and rx of beaglebone. My router's D0 pin is connected to relay. I want to remotely disable or enable the D0 pin. For that i am using python-xbee library. What I did is (my python code snippet)

myRouter='\x00\x13\xA2\x00\x40\xE4\x29\xB3'
#For Off
xbee.remote_at(dest_addr_long=myRouter,command='D0',parameter='\x04')
#For switch ON
xbee.remote_at(dest_addr_long=myRouter,command='D0',parameter='\x05')

code is working fine without error but I am not getting the output. I tried it using without beaglebone i.e. using usb explorer it works. Here is the link of example @ digi.

I am using python-xbee library. What would be the error?

Solution

  • In python-xbee library, "frame-id" for remote_at is '0x0' by default. you will not receive the response if id is 0.

    Frame Id is 01, in XCTU. You need to change "id" to anything other than zero to receive the response.
