Samples
The Zigbee R22 add-on for the nRF Connect SDK provides the following samples showcasing the Zigbee R22 protocol.
All samples are placed in the samples directory in the Zigbee repository.
You can build the samples for various boards and configure them for different usage scenarios.
Note
Zigbee R22 is currently in maintenance mode, and it is not recommended to use it for new Zigbee designs. While critical bug fixes and security updates will be provided as necessary, it will not receive any enhancements or new features. The Zigbee R23 add-on represents Nordic’s primary solution for future Zigbee developments, offering improvements, support for new features, and support for the nRF52840 SoC and new platforms such as the nRF54L series.
In addition to their basic functionalities, you can expand the samples with variants and extensions. The following table lists variants and extensions available for each Zigbee sample:

✔- Using this variant or extension either requires changes in Kconfig through the provided overlay file or the variant or extension is already enabled by default in the sample. See the sample documentation for detailed configuration steps for these variants and extensions.**- Implementing this variant or extension requires minimal changes in the sample source code and Kconfig options. Click the link for implementation details.***- Implementing this variant or extension requires several changes in both selected Kconfig options and source files, and may require adding new source files to the sample (for example, command implementation).
