This piece of code has helped me no end. I now have confidence that getting my Alertme kit to work without alertme cloud servers is possible. This code (or an earlier version) is working for me, but I have some questions.
The hive-smartplug-xbee.py has two elif statements that match the same cluster message
elif (clusterId == '\x00\x06'):

The first sends

• Send Active Endpoint Request (ZDP_PROFILE_ID)
• Sent Match Description Response (ZDP_PROFILE_ID)

The second sends

• Device Discover (ALERTME_PROFILE_ID)
• Device Status (ALERTME_PROFILE_ID)

I can't see how the second bit of code ever gets called. Is this just an error? I ask, as I am now trying to get your PyAlertMe working, and I am having trouble with the plugs not joining the network properly.

This code currently only works with the original Hive/AlertMe SmartPlug.

Attempt to get it to work with the newer Hive ActivePlug https://www.hivehome.com/products/hive-active-plug

This is harder than it first seems as it would appear the newer plug does not share the same Zigbee commands as its older cousin :-(

Possibly need to attempt some Zigbee Packet sniffing?

Haven't figured out why yet but after a SmartPlug reset I usually have to wait ~24-hours before I can get the XBee and Hive SmartPlug to associate again.

I am hot sure if this is a problem with the SmartPlug, XBee, Explorer serial adaptor, XBee Python library or my Python code yet!

The RX/TX lights on the XBee light up but the messages don't appear to be passing through.
