I read here many times that usb2 is a key thing for sure, so it might help you. Are you using an extension cable? I think that was the other main recommendation

I am yeah, got the stick about 30-35cm from the computer, might try moving it further if things don't get better

#

What's kinda weird is that things were working fine up until a few days ago, apart from adaptive lighting sometimes turning lights back on after I turn them off

Installed a Centralite Pearl thermostat model 3157100. Was messing around to learn more about what I can do in Zigbee2mqtt and made an entry in "Filtered publish attributes". It worked as expected but I now cannot delete that entry. Clicking the - beside the entry does nothing that I can tell using either Firefox or Chrome as the browser. Can anyone tell me how to delete this entry?

Hi,
I'm currently trying to add an ikea remote to homeassistant.

When adding the device to Zigbee2MQTT, is shows up.
With node-red I can read the payload with mqtt.
But I dont see my device showing up in the MQTT broker.

I enabled:

  • "Home Assistant legacy entity attributes" in Zigbee2MQTT.
  • "Enable newly added entities" in the MQTT broker.

Heya, quick one from me. How would I go about diagnosing devices not updating in ZHA when they're changed form the device side, but fine when I change them from the HA side?

uneven ruin
#

never updating or unreliably

#

one would indicate polling may be needed the other possible mesh issues

lavish coral
#

as in, it never updates at all other than when zha restarts

#

for one, ZHA doesn't create a sensor for instantaneous_voltage and instantaneous voltage would mean that it's going up and down, right (AC)?

#

and I also didn't find a reference to InstantaneousVoltage being attribute id 0x0500 in ZCLv8 specs lol

mhm, there's also some rounding issue. Some Xiaomi plugs report their stuff on an Analog Input cluster. The quirk then updates the active_power attribute on the ElectricalMeasurement cluster. HA immediately shows a correctly rounded value. (2 W for 1.8 for example)
However, as soon as ZHA polls the device (I guess only from cache then?), the value is set to 1 W. (Reading the attribute manually, it shows 1. So somewhere the value is cut-off but attribute reports still work with proper rounding)

#

error may be in (or somewhere down from what) Cluster._update_attribute calls

Also, is it possible to match a quirk depending on an attribute on the Basic cluster? (app_version to be specific?) Xiaomi has done some bad stuff lol

Question: I am getting a ton of errors in my logs https://dpaste.org/bqXRY I have the sonos zigbee dongle, and i have zigbee2mqtt running to interface with ring,com. I disabled the sonos zigbee integration because it was failing all the time. Any thoughts on what to do or look at to resolve this would be helpful.

#

If NR can see the payload then it's in the broker

cobalt spear
#

So what do I have to do to fix it?

sour shadow
#

Well, it's not clear whether there's an actual problem

#

It shows up, and NR can use it, so it appears there's nothing wrong

cobalt spear
#

Yup

#

In the integrations tab, the mosquitto broker is not showing the device

sour shadow
#

Ok, that's completely different

#

That says that maybe you haven't configured the Home Assistant integration in Z2M

cobalt spear
#

It's already configured

#

And HA's MQTT integration is configured with Discovery support?

Yes

AYO! I'm hoping to get a reccomendation. I'm trying to find a specific style of product and I'm getting nothing. I'd really like a Zigbee/Zwave/SomethingHA physical switch I can put around in various rooms to trigger a binary-switch in HA. Like a physical toggle. am I better of making something myself?

In Zigbee speak that's a remote

There's no shortage of battery powered ones of those

Does anyone know a good (bonus if cheap) zigbee wall socket that works well with ZHA and aqara? I've tried securifi, weelink, centralite, and Jasco to no avail. The phillips bulbs work okay, but I try to avoid bulbs since most of my light switches are smart.

I know I’ve read this somewhere. I have a bunch of Phillips hue lights through a Philips hue bridge and a whole bunch of a aqura sensors through their bridge I’ve got the Sonos zig be stick want to do away with all the Hubs and run everything that way. The only thing I’m hung up on is if the power goes out and it comes back on I want the lights to stay at the state they were at Don’t really want to wake up to all the lights on in the house being on 100%. I know I read a way to do this, but I cannot remember what I need to set.

Aqara sometime makes issues with some routers

I am using Zigbee2mqtt on a pie with a sonoff dongle wanting to change the channel and turn the output up some. I know how to change those settings but the last time I did it I broke everything and ended up starting over.

You can't downgrade firmware without modifying code in zigpy. I guess you want to do group binding with the IKEA remotes? (Newest firmware can only be bound per-device but to multiple devices)

#

Is it correct that custom ZHA quirks only load from the base directory?
i. e. this works:
/config/custom_quirks/this_is_loaded.py
but this doesn't:
/config/custom_quirks/advanced/this_is_not_loaded.py

I have a cheap zigbee 2-device relay I got on Amazon. It works well, but occasionally switch 2 (I think always switch2) will trigger. If I look at the HA logbook I see the device went away and came back. If I had to guess it seems like either a power or firmware issue with the device. But I also want to make sure I’m not doing something wrong/stupid since this is for a garage door and it’s awkward having it open at 2am. I wasn’t exactly sure what to search to see if this is a common problem

cobalt dew

#

so just the 2nd relay entity went away and came back or the whole device did and the 2nd relay triggered?

# austere patio What integration are you using and what device is reporting offline? Do you have...

The builtin one (Zigbee Home Automation). Almost any Xiaomi/Aqara device eventually ends up unavailable. I do not have routers, but my understanding it is a mesh; they are all well connected around the house. When I press the pair button after they become unavailable, they instantly reconnect without issue which seems to indicate they are within range. I am not using a cable, just the HUSBZB-1 USB Hub.

extension cables can help with interference when zigbee sticks are plugged directly into a usb port.

#

I don't use Z2M. Don't think Z2M can downgrade firmware by default either. What's the reason you want to downgrade the firmware? Group bindings?

#

Just confirmed that it works with up-to-date firmware with ZHA. Are you listening to zha_event in the Dev Tools or using device automation triggers? (Remotes don't have entities)

It's often impossible to downgrade firmware

I run a standalone Zigbee2mqtt service, connected to my MQTT broken, then I use Hass MQTT integartion to expose the devices on HASS.

And then use Z2m on homebridge to expose the acessories on apple home kit.

Best solution I found so far to have My wife android user get control of the stuff and me on home kit at the same time

Im using a Conbee 2 dongle to pick up Zigbee devices and it will rarely pick anything up if it's plugged directly into my Raspberry Pi. I ordered a USB Extension cable since it worked when I plugged it into my keyboard instead. I also have a dongle for Z-Wave devices that I'm not using yet. I'm assuming I'll run into a similar issue with it. Can I put the two dongles next to each other away from the RPI without interference?

coral plaza
#

does anyone make a standard rocker style "wall switch" which just functions as a zigbee switch? then i can connect that to HA to contorl the light?

coral plaza
tropic depot
#

Not cheap but I think it’s what you’re asking for?

coral plaza
#

Not quite. I have something like that right now (https://a.aliexpress.com/_msRejXu) but it expects momentary switch, and just scrolls through brightness levels until you turn it "off"

I want to control the brightness and on/off based of a combination of time and switch (if late at night, then max brightness is 25%), but can't do that with the module, since the on/off status doesn't go through HA

If I can get a traditional looking toggle rocker switch, so it goes switch-HA-dimmer, then I think I can make it work

coral plaza
#

Basically, a single gang rocker style switch, that can function as a zigbee switch without being connected to the load

tropic depot
#

That goes behind the switch and the load is not connected to it

#

The load is tied directly to the light (hard powered constantly) and the switch is wired to this device

#

@coral plaza ^^

#

so all the switch does with this is sends zigbee commands to HA. The load is completely disconnected from the switch

#

it basically turns a wall switch into a remote

coral plaza
#

Ok, so it's similar, but opposite, to what I currently have!

I'll check it out when I get home

unborn orbit
#

I've got an ikea 5 button bound to a group of zigbee lights. It works great at turning them on/off but it doesn't change the entity state within home assistant and so adaptive lighting turns them back on a minute later. Any way to make sure the binding triggers a change in entity state for the zigbee group?

you need a serial and port,

port would be /dev/usb0 or something like that

When i save the config it adds the >- back

And >- is fine, that's a YAML construct

oh ok, no idea then

It looks like the add-on isn't getting the USB stick passed to it

misty rain
#

if i try to ls the /dev/serial/by-id folder, it now doesn't exist

#

it did a few moments ago tho

sour shadow
#

That could be because you've also configured ZHA or deCONZ, or it could be that the stick isn't being detected at all

If you're on a Pi then power issues can cause USB sticks to vanish

i told home assistant to ignore the conbi stick, and uninstalled deCONZ

One of the reviews said it came with a microsd card, either i lost it during unboxing which i don't think i did, or mine never came with one :/

it didn't come with the little paper for the sd card which is in the review picture either, so going to assume they stopped adding them, even tho it's in the "package includes" section

complain to amazon and get a refund, i find they are good

(I did some preliminary googling but all I found were product results)

So, as I understand it, Zigbee devices form a mesh in which they can control each other without the hub being active. If I have a remote and a light in the same Zigbee network (using a USB Zigbee bridge) can I program the remote in Home Assistant to control specific lights or groups of lights, even if Home Assistant is unreachable?

dapper stag
#

You would pair them to each other in zigbee2mqtt, not homeassistant. I can't remember exactly what it's called as I haven't had any ZigBee for 4 months now since I moved but I had IKEA remotes controlling OSRAM bulbs directly.

slender warren
#

Ah, it’s called “binding”. That’s good to know. It looks like Home Assistant has support for it, according to this doc: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/

I’ll see if I can get it working when I have the time. Would like to avoid zigbee2mqtt if I can, so I don’t have Yet Another Thing To Maintain 😅

#

Thanks!

dapper stag
#

Np. Fwiw there isn't really anything more to maintain using z2m vs zha imho. The addon auto updates and you just get more granular control over your ZigBee network. But whatever works for you works. 😉

how do you remove your lights from zha? been stuck with my non reachable lights for quite some time. tried different cordinators... guessing there isnt a way to force pairing mode on these stupid hue bulbs

like a dimmer switch?

molten linden
#

Yes

dapper stag

I have one of the older models I keep just for resetting lights. Power off and on the light from source power, hold remote close, hold on and off until it blinks. It may be slightly different on the v2 but there's plenty of info online on the process.

I have a tasmotized sonoff zigbee bridge (ZHA) and have no issues adding in door locks, light switches and aqara sensors (switch, pir sensors, door/window sensor, vibration sensors, water leaking sensor). So my zigbee devices number is growing. I thought all zigbee devices will be easy to be added until I got 5 Tuya Zigbee Temperature/Humidity/Illuminance sensor with display. Power and illuminance have values but temperature and humidity have "unknown" value.
Does anyone have a solution or is able to shed some lights on this issue? Thank you.

Hi Guys, have a Hue Zigbee system with all my devices, I am thinking about Matter support and whether or not its worth waiting for Matter devices ( currently don't need any) I know hue are making the Hub Matter supported so the device bought today will be compatible, my main questions is, can anyone forsee and advantage to having devices that are matter supported instead of just commuinicating through a hub then to a boarder device, or is the hue hub essentially a boarder device?

misty rain
#

Yes i do

#

Images of text ... nauseated

misty rain
#

Its a known working 3.0 usb extension cable

#

Sorry on my phone

sour shadow
#

Looks like it isn't finding the path you're giving it

#

You're using the Z2M add-on?

misty rain
#

yeah

#

if i stop the addon

#

and go to terminal

#

pretty sure i can see it at the path

#

but when the addon tries to find it, it seems to vanish

sour shadow
#

What does the hardware menu show for the path?

misty rain
#

should it be in 3.0 port or 2.0 port on my pi?

#

Hardware menu?

sour shadow
#

Doesn't matter if it's on an extension cable, but USB 2.0 is better than 3.0

#

Yeah, under System I think

austere patio
#

3.0 extension cable into 3.0 port may cause problems

misty rain
#

Ohh i didnt know this

#

im rebooting it real quick, but its now in usb 2.0 port too

#

I did setup external access btw

misty rain
#

I couldn't see it in the hardware section, but its in the serial folder

#

and its no longer there....

Hi all, I'm trying to get Tradfri Shortcut buttons working in z2m and having some issues. The most major issue is that it doesn't recognize the button push and labels it as N/A or null. It also does not load the battery percentage. I keep trying to update the firmware but get met with:

"Update of 'Ikea Tradfri Shortcut Button 1' failed (Timeout: device did not request any image blocks)","status":"error"}'

It sounds like the device is timing out and z2m hasn't seen the device in a few minutes now (pressing it won't refresh the last seen time). Everything else is working perfectly and I can't find too much on this topic. Any ideas?

It's a Conbee feature. Try updating its firmware.

misty rain
#

Its a feature? xD

#

how do i update its firmware?

austere patio
misty rain
#

it no longer disconnects when connected to computer

#

So i'll try HA again

yes I have an aqara temp sensor 6m from the co-ordinator cant get a pickup, the front of the house is a dead spot. Ive used an aqara zigbee socket as a temp router but its signal strength seems sub par and its a huge waste as a router and nothing else

Looks fine to me

cobalt dew
#

well I guess that one is OK

#

yes but the power-mid-garage doesnt get much further

austere patio
#

Z2M should have a drop-down menu when you permit joins so your can select a router

cobalt dew
#

needs to go another 2~3m but cant

#

ah Ok ty

#

I am thinking put another sonoff where that plug is maybe, its an un-used socket mid-way to where I need to be

#

its only 3m from the co-ordinator but wont go any furthe

#

r

#

I spent some time last night moving it around but this is the best I could get

#

There is no issue jumping through a second router?

austere patio
#

No, that's the whole purpose of a mesh network

cobalt dew
#

TY, I am a newbie I read but that's theory not real world.

#

When you bind a device or group via lets say a remote and that remote turns the device/group off, should that change the entity state in HA?

#

ie group was on is then turned off via binding, should it then show as off in the entity state?

Have you tried clicking the "reconfigure device" button on the affected devices?

unborn orbit
austere patio
#

The devices that aren't reporting back to the coordinator that their state has changed

unborn orbit
#

they do if I change them in home assistant directly it's only with bound device that it doesn't change

unborn orbit
#

i must have messed up the binding. think i didn't include levelctrl and only included on/off

#

redid it with levelcrtl and its working now

#

actually still doesn't seem to be 100% that it'll change entity state though physically lights go on/off

#

and then randomly they will go back on/off to reflect the home assistant state

Hi, is there a way to show zigbee info LQI ,etc on lovelace?

tacit salmon

Hey all, I added a hue white bulb to Z2MQTT recently and after pairing, it displayed a (!) icon with "interview not complete" next to it. It appeared as a new device in Home Assistant, but it was reporting unknown and I was unable to control it. I decided to try removing it and repeating the pairing process, but now it will not pair at all after multiple resets using the Hue remote method. I also tried adding it back to the Hue app, which does discover and let me add it. I deleted the info from configuration.yaml in Z2MQTT but that has not helped either. Is there a trick to get this thing to discover/add?

Was there an update recently in Home Assistant? My MQTT integration suddenly died

#

Missing

#

No wonder my Zigbee lights all failed to register when I did voice command

cobalt dew
#

Yes I patched last night

Hey everyone. Not sure if this is the right place to ask. Having issues with my zigbee lights not working. Message appears not found when I try switch a light on

prisma shell
#

Man. I have one ikea 2 button remote that lasts months and another that lasts 2-3 days. Same fw version

#

Not sure what the diff is, both are paired to different home depot zigbee lights

stiff panther
#

My whole house has ikea lights and worked flawlessly before all these updates came through (not sure if the cause)

#

Getting this the whole time. My SO was not impressed with me to say the least

#

And so unstable. Can switch the lights on now and works. Try again in a few minutes and nothing but that error

Is there a way to disable just the zigbee portion of a husbzb-1 ? I use it for both zwave and zigbee, but plan to replace the zigbee portion with a tubes poe zigbee coordinator that I ordered. (ZHA if that matters)

Without an active integration, HA will just never talk to the USB device (and there are separate linux device files for the zigbee and zwave portions of the husbzb-1). If you want to dismantle an existing network that's a slightly different thing but it doesn't sound like you do.

Disable? No. But as others mentioned just don't use it. Put your z2m anywhere you want, so long as HA and it are talking to the same mqtt broker you're fine. I ran a HUSBZB-1 for both for a while and then switched to a CC2652P for ZigBee but still used my HUSBZB-1 for ZWave. I just had three total TTY devices but only used two of them. Later moved Z2M (and the other z2m, mqtt, and node red) to a separate Pi and worked fine.

(you should also always address your USB ttys by serial for this reason, if you have more than one device they can change between tty0/tty1)

I need assistance please. I have a button that is bound to the old removed Sonoff Zigbee USB coordinator, and even after removing and reinstalling, it keeps binding to it. Is there a way to remove the old coordinator completely as in the ZHA integration there is not delete option. The new coordinator is a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB. The old coordinator shows up as unk_manufacturer unk_model and even disable it, but keeps binding to it. Any help?
