I wish I knew what packages to install. I'd be happy to write up a recipe if it can be made to work.
Even for hardware that's normally used for this purpose and linux in mind, it's not a 3-step guide to profit - and the task at hand usually needs more than OpenWrt can offer (hard- and software side).
Trick question:
What would be the 'usual' approach to interface with zigbee in opensource?
…draw your conclusions from that and how that might apply to OpenWrt.
OK. I see lot of resources for zigbee in Home Automation. I will give that a shot. Thanks.
