Is it possible to communicate with ZigBee HA (Home Automation) profile sensors with XBee PRO S2B and if yes, how? Does anyone know where could I find any specification regarding ZigBee HA profile?
Thank you far any help!

The ZigBee Alliance has a limited number of its specifications available for download to the public. I don't know whether that includes the ZigBee Cluster Library or not.
It should be possible to join a Home Automation network and use ZDO and ZCL commands to discover endpoints/cluster/attributes on an HA Sensor and then read them. Digi has released some code for sending ZDO and ZCL requests, but as of now it's only available for their Rabbit-brand embedded systems (as part of Dynamic C 10.70), and the Programmable XBee product.
Updated 2016-10-27 to include a link to the ZDO/ZCL code released on GitHub as a portable XBee ANSI C Host Library.
As said above, you can ask for a Zigbee Home Automation Profile there. That does not include the ZCL, which you'll need to download from the Zigbee Alliance Website too.
It's possible to implement you're own ZHA Appli over S2B (which are programmable modules). Howevere, I tried and I was stuck because the Xbee S2B module does not implement all the ZDP Commands. Might be useful for you to know ! The Digi support confirmed me that you can use the "Match Descriptor Request" for exemple. So you'll need to find other solutions.
