After Thread border router setup, please type following command on Thread border router to get Thread network credential.

sudo ot-ctl dataset active -x

Commissioning over BLE

  • Reset the board or factory reset the board

  • Enter build out folder of chip-tool and running the following command to do BLE commission

    • BL602

      ./chip-tool pairing ble-wifi <node_id> <wifi_ssid> <wifi_passwd> 20202021 3840
      
    • BL706

      ./chip-tool pairing ble-thread <node_id> hex:<thread_operational_dataset> 20202021 3840
      

    <node_id>, which is node ID assigned to device within chip-tool fabric
    <wifi_ssid>, Wi-Fi network SSID
    <wifi_passwd>, Wi-FI network password
    <thread_operational_dataset>, Thread network credential which running sudo ot-ctl dataset active -x command on border router to get.

Cluster control

After successful commissioning, cluster commands available to control the board.

  • OnOff cluster

    The following command shows to toggle the LED on the board

    $ ./chip-tool onoff toggle <node_id> 1
    
  • Level cluster
