Commissioning Thread sensors

[sensenthuran]

Q1.

If we have different Thread sensors from various vendors, What are the minimal parameters need to be configured at commissioner for joining?

1. Thread Short Eui / Long EUI / All FFF... &
2. Pskd

Q2.

How we can set all the sensors with the corresponding PSKd to join an existing Thread nwk? Or is there any other easy way to commission? jcpacheco‌

Hello,

  How we can find nxp kw41z PSK and Long EUI address?

Thanks,

If you have kw41z loaded with thread router binary, in the shell command you can find..

$ thr get pskd
pskd: THREAD
 

$ thr get eui
eui: 0x0060376D0CCA9C5A

Q1. The commissioner needs to know the joiner (sensor) PSKd and Long EUI Address through an out of band mechanisms like scanning a QR Code, user input, keypad etc..

Q2. Threadgroup recommends printing the PSKd and EUI at the end device package i.e. A QR Label may be scanned by a smartphone capable to communicate with a thread border router. Once the joiner credentials are known by a smartphone this can be used as the active commissioner.
