Is your feature request related to a problem?

Current Zigbee library examples focus on one-to-one communication. In real use cases, like mine, we often connect multiple end devices (e.g. 5) to a single coordinator. No endpoint/device information is displayed when receiving data (e.g. temperature).

It is difficult to identify which device sent the data.

The existing temperature (I tried to modify 2 devices connected; the second one took a long time) example does not show how to scale to multiple devices.

Describe the solution you'd like

Suggested improvements:

Show the sender's endpoint or device address when receiving data.

Add an example of multiple devices sending data to one coordinator.

Hi @kiansiong85, please if you are able to test the changes in the linked PR. It adds the functionality to receive endpoint+address of the device that sends the temperature or you can directly ask for the temperature or configuration to specific device.

Thanks a lot for the update. I’ve tested the new functionality and can confirm that it now successfully receives the endpoint and address of the device sending the temperature — much appreciated!

However, I’m still encountering the same issue as before: it seems I’m unable to connect to more than one device at the same time. Just wondering — does the current implementation support multiple devices simultaneously, or is that still in progress, or you have any advice for guide able give to me?

Thanks again for your support!

Below some serial port test result, Even after all i re-uploading the entire program, it still seems to only connect to one device.
