Using End_Device_Bind_req
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Agree who will be the light(s) and who will be the switch. Open the corresponding project and set your MAC address in zigbee.def If you are the switch, program and run your application. Make sure you start a network. If you are a light, program your application. After the switch starts the network, run your application. Make sure you join the network and get a short address. When a switch and a light are ready, each press RB5 within 5 seconds of each other. If binding is successful, the switch can control the lights RA1 LED with its RB4 switch. Repeat steps 4-7 for any other lights. Note how the switch controls all of the lights with one button press. Look at how the SendEndDeviceBindReq function is set up to send the End Device Bind request.
