About:
XbeeComm provides a robust Python library and command-line utilities for interacting with XBee devices via serial communication. It abstracts the complexities of the XBee API protocol, enabling developers to easily send and receive data packets, manage device networking, and configure remote modules. The tool is essential for building and maintaining wireless sensor networks and IoT applications using Digi XBee hardware.
Key Features:
  • Python API for easy integration
  • Command-line interface for device management
  • Supports both AT and API operating modes
  • Handles frame parsing and generation automatically
Use Cases:
  • Developing software for wireless sensor networks
  • Configuring and testing XBee device fleets
  • Integrating XBee radios into custom IoT applications
Alternatives:
  • python-xbee – XbeeComm is often considered a more modern and actively maintained alternative with a richer feature set.
