14.2.3.7 ZGP Component Usage

The Zigbee green power(ZGP) provides an interface to commission, control or get the information from the Green power device

Green Power Devices may harvest different amount of energy depending on the harvesting technology used. With its own available energy budget, each GPD has special requirements regarding the functionality it can implement. Due to the energy budget of the GPD, bidirectional communication is limited. To enable GPD to communicate to Zigbee network GPD frame is much shorter than the Zigbee frame.

On the Zigbee network side, the GP functionality required on a Zigbee node in order to receive and process the GPDF, and then tunnel it, if required across multiple hops, in a normal Zigbee frame format to the paired node, referred to as the sink, which processes and acts upon the information sent by GPD.
