And you've checked the map?

cobalt dew
#

I will move the sonoff

sour shadow
#

Because Xiaomi devices connect to the first thing they hear, which isn't necessarily the best route

cobalt dew
#

the one with the good battery is <1m as its a test sensor so the rest are 3~5m so interference is possible.

#

signa is like 65 out of 255?

pine swan
#

I have devices 15m away through 2 walls that work great. You may have a local interference problem, as Timkerer says. What do you see if you go into the device, click the 3 dots next to RECONFIGURE DEVICE and then View in Visualisation? What is it connected to?

cobalt dew
#

z2m

#

could well be wifi

sour shadow
#

No... connected to the coordinator, or to a router?

cobalt dew
#

I have tube's ethernet to zigbee as the co-ordinator then a sonoff usb 3.0+ setup as a router and an aqara plug

sour shadow
#

Now look at the map, see what they're connected to

#

Two devices doesn't make for a good mesh though

cobalt dew
#

either doesnt matter they chew the battery

#

3 devices

#

I have only just started

#

11 sensors

#

whare can i paste the map?

Please use imgur or other image sharing web sites, and share the link here.

Image posting is blocked in most channels to discourage people from sharing text as images. Sharing text as images assumes that everybody sees the world as you do, which isn't the case. Some people are colour blind, or have visual impairment that means they can't make sense of an image of text.

Command '~images' was invoked by: Tinkerer
cobalt dew
#

cant use imgur its blocked

sour shadow
#

Then use another site

#

Ultimately though, we don't need to see it

cobalt dew
#

ok

sour shadow
#

You need to tell us what they're connected to, and what's between them and it

#

You also need to check the channel you're using for Z2M, and the WiFi channels in use

cobalt dew
#

the sonoff and aqara plug are connected to tube's co-ord

sour shadow
#

Well, that's no shock

cobalt dew
#

Z2M, and the WiFi channels in use

sour shadow
#

However, the question is about the sensors that you're complaining about

cobalt dew
#

all of them drop off fast no matter which they are connected to

sour shadow
#

You need to tell us what they're connected to, and what's between them and it

#

If those routers are in another room that's possibly part of your problem

cobalt dew
#

hence a picture

sour shadow
#

Well, the picture tells us feck all

#

A map of your house... that would tell us something

cobalt dew
#

I dont have that either

sour shadow
#

Sadly Z2M's map has no knowledge of your house layout, it just says what's connected to where

#

So, if you can answer the questions above, we may be able to help you

cobalt dew
#

The co-ord and plug 10mm ply and <4m

#

the co-ord and sonoff 2 walls and a floor

sour shadow
#

That's ... quite a distance for the Sonoff

cobalt dew
#

5~6m but its mains powered

#

I cant do much better its the shape of the house its empty of power between

tropic depot
#

sonoff stuff has questionable antenna performance based on reports and personal usage

cobalt dew
#

I need to check the wifi I guess as I have 2 x wifi plug that's a bit dodgy so they might indeed be fighting each other

sour shadow
cobalt dew
sour shadow
#

You do need routers, but two devices isn't much of a mesh

cobalt dew
#

no ive only just started

tropic depot
#

if that’s the case I’d get more mains devices on the network before you waste a ton of time troubleshooting

cobalt dew
#

how do I find what channel zigbee is on?

#

its worth checking as there are a lot of other wifi around me

#

I have no idea how long the delivery will be this is NZ, so could be weeks away

molten linden
#

default z2m is 11, zha is 15 it's one of those unless you changed it.

cobalt dew
#

z2m i thought I had seen 11 somewhere

sour shadow
#

11 is a terrible channel in almost all environments

cobalt dew
#

just looking

#

cant find where, I assume its settable then?

sour shadow
#

Yes, it's documented in the Z2M docs

cobalt dew
#

so if its not in /config/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml its a default? or is channel: somewhere else?

#

grep isnt finding anything

sour shadow
cobalt dew
#

Yes i read that thanks...I cant find it actually in the file, hence i aked if its a default.

#

wondering if its in the tube dongle thingie

sour shadow
#

The docs I linked ... did you read them?

cobalt dew
#

yes

sour shadow
#

Because, it answers your question

cobalt dew
#

obviously not

sour shadow
#

Optional: ZigBee channel, changing requires re-pairing of all devices. (Note: use a ZLL channel: 11, 15, 20, or 25 to avoid Problems)

(default: 11)

cobalt dew
#

that's what the doc says

sour shadow
#

Yes

cobalt dew
#

not what my file has, hence I asked if I am in the right file

sour shadow
#

Well, anything that's optional may not be in there

#

There's a (very obviously documented) default channel of 11 if you haven't configured anything else

cobalt dew
#

its often that ppl who are familiar with apps dont see other who are not struggle a bit as everyone writes files as they like

#

since 2 wifi plugs near the co-ordinator have issues + the zigbee issues I need to look at this....it seems likely

#

hmm my 2.4ghz was 20/40 which is apparently bad so Ive set 20 bandwidth lets see if that helps.

sour shadow
#

It'll only help if you moved the channels away from your Zigbee

#

Remember, Zigbee numbers aren't WiFi numbers

flint bone
sour shadow

I have already directed them to the pinned messages, which includes a link to that and lots of other great advice

cobalt dew

#

"check the pins" I thought maybe it was open the dongle up or something 😬

spring smelt
#

(I’ve read the pinned post about what hardware to buy)

If my goal is to get something that supports zigbee2mqtt today, and will also support Thread/Matter in the future, should I get an EFR32MG21-based coordinator, or a CC2652 one?

My understanding is that EFR32 is usable (but not yet considered “stable") in z2m, and is also the chipset that HA yellow and skyconnect use, so it’s super likely to get solid thread/matter support

At the same time, CC2652 devices are better supported with z2m, but don’t have guarantees around thead/matter?

cobalt dew
#

co-ords are pretty cheap like $20us maybe not worry?

dry lichen
#

Personal opinion: Go for what is solid for the protocol you intend to use now. When you switch, go for what is solid for the protocol you will use in the future then.

#

Those couple of bucks you save are not worth the headache of troubleshooting basic controls of your home

#

Trust me, i've been there sadly

cobalt dew
#

100%, stay mainstream, its way easier in many things

dry lichen
#

If you wanna experience cheap hardware, go run z2m on a cc2531 with more than a handful of zigbee devices and experience losing your entire network when you get home at a Friday, 7pm, after an exhausting week

spring smelt
#

haha yeahmy goal isn’t cheap, but I also know that it’s a pain to migrate controllers and fix all of your automations/entities

dry lichen
#

Honestly I am interested in thread/matter though, but what is the status on it?

dry lichen
#

But I suppose I won't be touching it for a good while because I want all the pioneers and beta testers to iron out all the specific bugs and kinks you find along the way of a new protocol

spring smelt
#

I was tempted by the newer EFR32MG21 usb stick from itead, especially seeing that z2m looks like it’s just about to promote EFR32MG chips out of “experimental” status

But it’s also probably safer to go with an CC2652 given that my current goal is to use zigbee2mqtt, and that’s definitely well-supported. Plus, I can find PoE-powered ones using that chipset

#

Yeah that’s fair about matter/thread still being early — I wanted to be able to get one or two non-mission-critical devices to dabble with, but would definitely prefer to let the early adopters stress test things where stability is important 🙂

dry lichen
#

I'd honestly go get a CC2652 for now (Going the same route, patiently awaiting Tubes PoE dongle shipment) - But I might get a thread stick or whatever when it's in it's beta just to play with it for a little

#

Is there any type of roadmap for it?

#

I see Philips Hue is on the Matter list, will be interesting to see how they handle that

mellow geode
#

Hue bulbs won’t support Matter over Thread.
The Hue hub will "talk Matter" though (and the bulbs stay Zigbee).

dry lichen
#

Sounds exactly like the Philips/Signify I know.

#

I like tube's ethernet to zigbee dongle as my coord

#

its now where I need it the most

dry lichen
#

Including shipping I paid 90 something $ but again - it's proven quality, Tube is on here and helped me insanely quick and nicely, and I like to support smaller creators when I've got the chance. Granted, it's a lot of money still so there is absolutely nothing wrong with going something that could be had for 1/3rd of the price

cobalt dew
dry lichen
#

..also my nightmare zigbee network still haunts me and i do not want to relive the repairing of my entire network. Especially since it's tripled in size since it first happened.

molten linden
#

Fwiw the ones on eBay look A lot like the zigstar ones and I think they are just made as knock offs of that by some folks in China. Nothing wrong with the zigstar design. Only way to go to PoE is via a splitter bought separately. The non PoE esp32 boards don’t have the right ports to even wire in a PoE device and feed it from the Ethernet port.

If only Asendia was as quick as he was with shipping 😆

Hi guys. Lately I'm having issues with my zzh cc2652R stick. It runs 20220219 (which still seems to be the latest/stable). It simply hangs, leaving Zigbee non-working. A simple replug of the usb (effecively power toggle) solves it until next time a few days later. Anyone got a clue to what may be happening, or where to start look for a reason? Thanks

Hi all, i'm struggling with deconz. I get this error a lot:

Logger: homeassistant.components.deconz
Source: components/deconz/gateway.py:349
Integration: deCONZ (documentation, issues)
First occurred: 09:15:29 (58 occurrences)
Last logged: 10:27:25

Error connecting to deCONZ gateway at 172.30.33.8

#

The IP address for my deConz gateway keeps changing. Is there a way I can make it static ?

sour shadow
#

Are you using the deCONZ add-on?

analog quail
#

I go to Integrations > Add Integration and search for deCONZ

sour shadow
#

And... how are you running deCONZ?

#

Add-on? Manually created Docker container? Other?

analog quail
#

Honestly I don't know. How can I find out ?

#

I think it's an addon as i have it on the left side menu

#

yes it is an add on

sour shadow
#

Then it'll have a name, like core-deconz you can (and should) use instead

analog quail
#

yes just found it

#

where can i add the host name as opposed to the IP, in an config file ?

sour shadow
#

When you set up the integration, don't use the IP, use the name

analog quail
#

will do

#

i will re-add the integration

#

just tried that but sadly I get "Couldn't get an API key" when I try to authenticate it

Hey guys, maybe someone can help me. My Setup is ZHA with conbee2 stick, working all fine with all devices that I have. I have a new Smart Plug: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS011F_plug_1.html#tuya-ts011f_plug_1 Exact model: _TZ3000_cehuw1lw (Tuya Smart Plug 20A), I can pair it with ease, and I can control the device while it is in pairing mode. But when pairing is stopped no control is possible. I also paired it in my test environment with a old CC2531 stick flashed with zstack 3 and zigbee2mqtt, here my device get paired also without a problem and control is possible also after pairing stops. I updated my plug to the newest firmware also with zigbee2mqtt, that was no problem. So in short: My device becomes uncontrollable after pairing in HA ZHA ends.

analog quail
#

ok if I set up my deconz with the ip address 172.... i can authenticate it
if I use the hostname core-deconz I cannot see to authenticate it

#

I would guess the port is wrong, but how can i find out what the port should be ?

sour shadow
#

Same port as with the IP

analog quail
#

yep it just doesn't tell me what it is in the ui,
can i find it in config somewhere ?

sour shadow
#

I have no idea, the deCONZ Discord may know

obsidian sandalBOT
#

deCONZ by dresden elektronik is a software that communicates with ConBee/RaspBee Zigbee gateways and exposes Zigbee devices that are connected to the gateway. Our #zigbee-archived channel is a good place to ask about using it with Home Assistant, but they also have their own Discord server.

Hi, I can't get deconz to work so now I'm trying to set up ZHA but it just hangs when I selected my radio. Any ideas how to trouble shoot ?
After a few minutes I get a message "Unknown error occurred".
In the logs I get "Failed to reset watchdog"

sour shadow
#

Did you stop and remove deCONZ - both the integration and the add-on?

analog quail
#

yes both removed.

sour shadow
#

Is the ConBee on a USB extension cable?

analog quail
#

yes it is

tropic depot
#

throw the logs on a sharing site and i'll take a peek when i have a sec

analog quail
#

It's strange as non of the integrations work:
deconz - will work on the docker container ip address but not the host name
zha - as above
zigbee2mqtt - crashes on start up with a bad gateway error, I followed the install guide but still can't it to work

tropic depot
#

you need to share the HA log file. The entry from the screen in HA isn't enough to look at...

tropic depot
analog quail
#

not sure but it's worked perfectly until i decided to try and adjust deconz to use the host name.
I will go back to deconz but i can;t configure it on host name, if I could I would be happy with that

I ordered an aqara temp sensor from amazon and it was tampered with so I exchanged it for another.

in HA, the new temp sensor device shows data from the old one. is that normal?

I added it through the "HubZ Smart Home Controller / Zigbee Home Automation" integration

analog quail
#

hi does anyone know if deCONZ has a configuration file where I can set the hostname ?

molten linden
hasty prairie

I was worried I did it wrong. when I add a second device it'd automatically get a different entity name, right?

Hi, need help deciding, I want to make my setup more reliable, and able to stay up and running during power outage. currently running a sonoff bridge with tasmota as a coordinator, works great but depends on wap which is not backed up by a ups unlike my raspberry pi which is running HA.

Previously had a huzbz1 but remember replacing it for the sonoff bridge because of some range and stability issues. (never upgraded the firmware). I currently have 19 device (possibly will get 10 more in the near future)

so decisions:

  1. Should I buy a sonoff 3.0 usb dongle plus?
  2. Go back to the huzbz1 and hope by updating the firmware my issues will be gone (huzbz1 is outdate hardware but I don't know what that entails)
  3. Get an entirely different zigbee usb stick
#

Another question, is there anyone out there who has run the sonoff bridge as a router for zigbee, and has a guide/can teach me how to do it too? my current network doesn't have any redundancy, so if this is possible it would be great 😄

sour shadow
#

Well, none of your Zigbee routers are likely backed up by that UPS either

#

A CC2652 based coordinator will be better than that HUZBZ1, and one of the Sonoff sticks uses that chip

rich mirage
#

yeah the routers wont be back up by the ups... that is true... I guess back to the drawing board with that idea than

#

the sonoff says it's based on "Base on TI CC2652P + CP2102N"

#

I don't know about CP2102N

sour shadow
#

Don't worry about that bit, it's the other bit that matters

rich mirage
#

the newer one is based on "EFR32MG21" which I don't know

#

ah got it

raven jewel
#

I guess the real question is "why do you need Zigbee controls when you have no power?"

sour shadow
rich mirage
raven jewel
#

Ok, but what will you do if the security system is triggered?

rich mirage
#

grab my machete and head out like if it was still the 1920s

sour shadow
#

With no working Zigbee routers, none of your sensors will report in

raven jewel
#

There might be the odd one which does... but it's likely most of them won't

#

Nearly every security system out there is vulnerable in the case of power loss.

#

(See: Every hacker/thriller/similar film out there.)

sour shadow
#

And if your thief is cutting the power to break in, you probably shouldn't be doing DIY security solutions

raven jewel
#

When I have a power outage I get a message from a cellular connected device. And that's it

rich mirage
#

that is true, just figured it would be nice, since I already have a small lab backed up with an ups, my pi and cameras are battery power and will report

sour shadow
#

When I have a power outage... the lights go out

#

The Pi will only report if you've also got working backed up Internet connectivity

raven jewel
#

When you reach the point that people are cutting connections to your home to break in, you're well past anything except "personal security team"

rich mirage
raven jewel
#

Sometimes "nice to have" is just best on a list of "someday I may find a solution to this"

rich mirage
#

seeing how every week I loose power for about 1h because thunder storm season

raven jewel
#

The best solution to that is doors which are locked

#

My doors auto lock when closed—which solves a good number of problems

rich mirage
#

same ^

#

One of my first implementation besides cam

#

Well I agree, I guess this goes more under nice to have, I will continue on with what i got and not mess with my current setup

#

not the answer/solution I was expecting but its def the cheapest and quickest one

grim igloo
#

is there a way to have my hue bulbs when added to home assistant have the entity enabled for the update state sensor?

#

manually enabling after adding each bulb is gonna be not_fun

uneven ruin
#

door locks aren't very secure really

#

unless your builder did above and beyond they pry open pretty quick

#

I stopped locking my doors years ago

#

where I am now it would just lead to broken glass (they definitely came here on purpose)

Hi all,
I have a problem with Zemismart curtain motor BCM500DS-TYZ-B which is ZigBee version and shows that Zigbee2MQTT supports it but I cannot get it paired. Does anyone have tried that device? Don't understand why it doesn't show up in HA integration (Zigbee2MQTT ). It seems that motor is in paring mode (red LED blinking) but nothing happens.

sour shadow
#

Is it in range of the mesh?

#

Typically you can expect a maximum distance of maybe 8 meters and one or two internal (drywall/plasterboard) walls between routers/the coordinator

mystic pivot
#

yup, it's like 2-3meters. In the same position I paired some other devices as switches, aqara cube etc.

sour shadow
#

It's possible it doesn't like the channel number you're using, or even that it's unhappy with the coordinator. I've got some devices that only work on channels 15, 20, and 25, and some that won't pair with any CC2652 based stick shrug

i was looking at my battery levels of all my 110 zigbee devices and saw a huge drop in percentage on the 3rd of august after some digging i saw that i did a zigbee2mqtt update that same moment. Did something change in the battery settings with version: 1.27.0-1

Have you tried putting in a totally wrong username and password and seeing if the broker logs the failed login attempt?

If you use a recognisable bad username, say "cobblers" that isn't likely to appear in logs otherwise you may be able to grep through the logs to find it

We've been having numerous storms this month and my power is less than reliable, I have an UPS on Home Assistant, the DB and coordinator (xbee s2c), but even so after a power failure the zigbee (ZHA) network will crash and the only solution is to restart Home Assistant, any ideas why this would be?

tropic depot

hrm that should just re-connect

#

i had an outage here last night and everything just came back on its own

#

Si Labs / EZSP though

#

wonder if there is a bug in zigpy_xbee

Maybe, I keep meaning to capture some logs when the power drops off, but usually thinking about other things

tropic depot

I bet... the outage here last night actually woke me up out of DEEP sleep

I think I jumped 3 feet

graceful elm

Yeah, and then I have some lights that insist on turning on full brightness when it comes back, with no way to disable

#

Those have been banished from the bedroom....

That might also include battery devices that were connected to the routers as well

# cobalt dew poor signal?

Yes the firmware of the Sonoff is up to date, had these issues also with my Conbee 2 stick earlier. The sonof is sticked in a usb extender and connected to an usb2

ziggbeeto mqtt is channl 11 and zha is 15 from what Ive read.

so if z2m worked maybe get a channel scanner?

Anybody able to help me add my Hue Bulbs to HA via Zigbee. I have a usb Zigbee dongle and i have deleted the bulbs in the hue app.

I figured it out, they need to be deleted when turned on.

@jovial yacht I’m not having much luck. The basic control via percentages work however the open and close services don’t work and the state is inverted.

#

Hmm, that's annoying. Thanks for replying though.

@jovial yacht I hear they are well supported under zigbee2mqtt.

Hmm, I'd prefer zha but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

I much prefer zha and how automations are created.

@jovial yacht I should also mention that the blinds are fantastic otherwise. They appear to be very well made and work great with the included remote. I’m trying to learn how to write a quirk but I’m by no means a developer

Hi guys, I have been trying for some time now to get my new Busch-Jaeger 6737/01 remotes working with ZHA. They work fine with deconz and zigbee2mqtt. In ZHA I cannot get the bindings for 3 of the 4 rockers to work. deconz and zigbee2mqtt seem to bind the endpoints "LevelControl" to the controller for all four rockers. With ZHA only the first one is automatically bound correctly, for all others I can neither remove nor add bindings (TABLE_FULL). I have started writing a quirk for it but am not experienced enough with ZHA quirks. With a working zigbee herdsman converter (https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/blob/master/devices/busch-jaeger.js) - Would someone be able to help me translate that into a ZHA quirk?

Hi all. Anyone having weird issues with ZHA in past releases? Usually I have clear logs, time to time few issues (up to 5), but know the log is full of issues, like: Couldn't start deCONZ, Couldn't start application, No response to 'Command.read_parameter', Invalid checksum, and many more. First I thought somethings wrong with my setup, so I checked my parents HASS (slightly different setup) and I can see some similarities even there (they live in different country). Not even talking that basically everything what's possible is failing, even devices over wifi but that's not current topic. So am wondering, anyone experiencing same behaviour? Any suggestions how to fix it, or additional info if it is a known issue?

Do I have to re-pair or reconnect or whatever it's called my zigbee device everytime I restart homeassistant?

For some reason it doesn't show any data it only says unavailable

#

"it"?

icy beacon
#

my zigbee device

#

temperature sensor

#

I mean in homeassistant

#

it doesn't show the data

sour shadow
#

That's still wonderfully vague

#

What brand? What model?

#

Are you using ZHA, or Zigbee2MQTT, or even deCONZ?

#

ZHA

sour shadow
#

What brand? What model?

icy beacon
#

yeah sec I'm searching

sour shadow
#

So, Xiaomi WSDCGQ11LM

icy beacon
#

Oh and also I unplugged and plugged in my coordinator if that makse a difference

sour shadow
#

What coordinator?

icy beacon
#

the one from sonoff don't know the exact name

sour shadow
#

Sadly they do at least three or four different models, two of which are shit, and one is decent, and one is unproven

icy beacon
sour shadow
#

Ok, the decent one

icy beacon
#

didn't know they have more

sour shadow
#

Do you have any (Zigbee) router devices?

icy beacon
#

no

#

I can re-add the temperature sensor and it will work just fine but idk why I have to do that everytime I restart home assistant

sour shadow
#

I've never heard of that from anybody else, but the lack of routers could be a contributing factor. Seems unlikely though.

icy beacon
#

also, I'm running home assistant in a docker container if that helps

sour shadow
#

That's how most people run

icy beacon
#

Allright I'll just re-add the sensor again but thanks for trying!

#

I hope I don't loose my automations

iron thicket
#

I take it to add the thermo to the receiver I click add device via this device?

cobalt dew
icy beacon
#

Don't know what that is

sour shadow
#

When you created the Docker container, you mapped a volume to /config

#

If you hadn't though then all of HA would be reset

cobalt dew
# icy beacon Don't know what that is

hass:
container_name: hass
image: homeassistant/home-assistant:stable
restart: always
environment:
- TZ=Pacific/Auckland
volumes:
- /home/hass/config:/config
#network_mode: host
ports:
- 8123:8123

so the volumes needs to be specified

#

does the usb port change?

icy beacon
#

oh you meant in docker yeah ofc I have mapped the config folder

#

I also had to map the zigbee coordinator

cobalt dew
#

yes, as tnkerer said would lose all settings if not

#

I tried containers but vm way easier

icy beacon
#

everything remains the same except that my sensor doesn't show any data

cobalt dew
#

what dongle? is it on a cable extension and not on usb3?

icy beacon
cobalt dew
#

what is the signal strength?

#

ok same as me

#

did you flash it when you got it?

icy beacon
#

yeah I mean it works fine only that I have to re-add it when I restart home assistant

cobalt dew

seems odd

Is it accurate to say that when I add a new zigbee routing drvice like an outlet, all the zigbee stuff in proximity likely won’t automatically start using it as an additional route to my stick? And if so, does the “reconfigure” button in HA make it re-mesh the network?

sour shadow
#

For end devices, yes. Some will re-route, some won't. You'd have to re-join them to the mesh, and even then you may need to deliberately join them through the new router if you want to force it.

Is there a way I can delete the existing docker installation?

sour shadow
#
  1. Debian 7 is ancient, seriously ancient. I'm surprised it has a new enough Docker for HA

  1. You need to connect to it and see if ModemManager is installed

Since clearly you're not running HAOS

Modemmanager is installed

Remove it

Also, plan an upgrade to Debian 11, if possible, so that you've got a system that's not riddled with insecure packages

mighty river
#

Ok!

#

What would ModemManager do to Zha?

It basically grabs the first serial device, such as the Zigbee stick

It may even grab all of them

At that point nothing else can use them

If you have another unknown process messing with the serial port, that would do it

Got a question for y'all. Involves zigbee2mqtt + an aqara smart plug. Going to open a thread:

oak gorge
#

Hey guys, i got my HA OS to work on my new server, well new old (an 8 year old veriton tiny pc ;-D)

#

I still have an issue however with my Zigbee 3.0 dongle-p from sonoff, i flashed it with the Koenkk z-stack firmware, however after flashing with flash programmer 2, it connects to a COM port but i see no broadcast signal on the wifi band

#

i searched for hours, and i'm lost, i'm close to either send the device back as faulty or i dunno, wildly buy something else 😦

tropic depot
#

What are you looking for??

oak gorge
#

well for help i guess, either if my device is faulty or if i did something wrong

tropic depot
#

No, sorry, what do you mean: “but I see no broadcast signal on the WiFi band”… what are you doing

#

Have you set up a zigbee integration

#

are you trying to pair devices?

oak gorge
#

I understood after flashing the device it reboots, after that point, the first thing that should work i lead to understand is that the device by default always broadcasts a signal, showing a wifi-connection named "Tasmota-xxx"

#

I don't see that when i connect the dongle to usb, i see the device in my device list, but it doesn't broadcast a default signal. Thus i don't have an IP address that i can address to configure the Tasmota installation on the device. (unless if i got things totally wrong, that would be the next step in the flashing process?)

raven jewel
#

Wi-Fi is not zigbee. I highly suspect that's a Wi-Fi device.

oak gorge
#

it's this 1

#

It does not broadcast Wi-Fi.

I don't know where you got that Information from, but it's not right.

hmm thanks Rosemary! I got a device named Owon energy meter, which is installed, i need it to connect over the zigbee device, would anyone know what steps i need to undertake to make that work?

# oak gorge i got HA installed, i pre-installed MQTT but not configured, how-ever i have no ...

It sounds like you might be missing the zigbee software needed to control your zigbee dongle/network. If you plan on using MQTT, you most likely want to use zigee2mqtt (link: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/). Once you have that up and running, you'll need to make sure it can communicate with MQTT (which is a message broker), and that HA can access your MQTT broker to send/receive messages. Essentially it looks like this: HA <-> MQTT <-> Zigbee2MQTT <-> Zigbee device(s). Communication between HA, MQTT, and Zigbee2MQTT is local (same device) or ethernet/WiFI, whereas Zigbee2MQTT communicates with your Zigbee devices over your Zigbee network (which is completely separate from your WiFi network). To connect a zigbee device, you'd open up the Zigbee2MQTT UI and toggle "Permit Join" and then do whatever your manual of the device you want to pair says to do to enter pairing mode (or reset the device); if you can't find that info in the manual, you can check the device page on the zigbee2mqtt website or other online sources. Example: for Aqara sensors, you typically hold down a button for 5 seconds; for IKEA bulbs, you typically quickly turn on/off the bulb 6 times, etc. If all goes well, Zigbee2MQTT will recognize and add the device after a few seconds, and it should show up in HA very shortly thereafter

cobalt dew
#

Any one got a suggestion for an external temperature sensor? Ive tried aqara in a very sheltered spot but its eating battery so I'd like a mains powered device.

from the VM settings i see i can find it as usb filter

according to guides it should be plug & play, but maybe because im on virtualbox thats not the case?

to identify the device you should use the /dev/serial/by-id path

so step one is: is your VM passing the device through properly

Is there any trick to binding a Sonoff ZBMini to a Philips Hue in-wall module in ZHA?
It doesnt seem to want to bind and just connects to another Philips device in the next room according to the topology.
Even though Sonoff and Hue are just a few inches apart.

uneven ruin
#

the mesh will dicate what it connects too

#

you can activate connect through on the device page if you want to try and mandate but it will probably change over time

pastel oriole

Interesting. I thought you could bind switch and button together so they are independent of the coordinator.

Binding and routing are different things

How a device connects to the mesh has no bearing on whether or not you've bound it

Apparently you're supposed to see your adapter there after that.

Maybe this is the issue with it not showing up:

"Current limitations
Along with only supporting USB serial port adapters, hotplug is restricted to devices that provide a specific set of udev attributes; name, vendor identifier and/or serial number.

These attributes are needed to identify and track devices. This isn’t normally a problem for branded devices, but it may cause issues with unbranded devices. Without the required attributes, a device cannot be supported and will be ignored when connected.

There is also no easy way to list connected devices and their corresponding slots. This limitation will be addressed in an upcoming snapd release."

Anyone ever have an issue with a ZigBee LED controller flashing when pairing a switch to the coordinator?

I have a generic LED strip controller that has been working fine for a year but I just tried to pair an IKEA Shortcut switch to my coorgdinator to run some automations and while I was doing that the LED Strip started blinking and now it shows up in my ZigBee map but when I try to control it nothing happens. I tried repairing it through ZHA but that fails as well.
The log is as follows:

[0xD689:1:0x0006]: async_initialize: all attempts have failed: [DeliveryError('Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>'), DeliveryError('Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>'), DeliveryError('Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>'), DeliveryError('Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>')]```

Don’t think it should be noticeably slower. I don’t have a Conbee to compare but efr32 and cc2652 are comparable both over usb or network in my experience. Things don’t seem to have a noticeable delay unles using voice through the cloud.

My HA shat itself last night. My test Tradfri 2 button dimmer and Bluetooth dongle stopped working. The BT dongle was no longer found and pressing the dimmer didn't put any entries in the history for it. Attempts to reconfigure the dimmer failed. In the end, I shut the VM down, replugged BT and Zigbee dongles, deleted them from the VM and re-added them. That restores most functionality but now the HA log is getting lots of messages about homeassistant.components.zha.core.base async_initialize errors. I've got a number of Zigbee devices offline as they're not plugged in yet . Are these errors expected or have I got a problem please?

Enable joins?

austere patio
# limber tide Enable joins?

Do what you did before, but backwards. ZHA doesn't search for devices, devices search for ZHA's network. If you reset the device and then permit joins, sometimes devices see the network as being "closed" and then don't try to join it after you permit joins.

limber tide
#

I'm assuming you mean click "Add devices via this device" first then trigger the bulb to pair?

#

Still nothing.

#

Does it matter that the dongle is Zigbee 3.0 and the bulb shows Zigbee HA 1.2.1 support on the box?

Not at all, you can use 3.0 devices on a HA 1.2 network, and vice versa

Hi folks, just recently swapped batteries in all (3 x Aqara water leak & 3 Aqara temp) of my CR2032 sensors. They're still reporting the exact same percentage of battery as of before changing them. How come?

Any tips for a good Zigbee usb stick for the home assistent? I am considering to buy one😁 Is there much different between the different models?

obsidian sandalBOT
#

Buy something CC2652 based. This list is a good one, both Tube and Electrolama have been proven to have excellent customer service. The current generation of EZSP sticks (see here for some) are also a good choice for ZHA.

Anything CC2530 or CC2531 based should be avoided - they're old, slow, and only suitable for a dozen or so devices. The Sonoff ZBbridge isn't advised since it uses WiFi (built in interference causing stability/reliability issues), and the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset so should be avoided.

Finally, the ConBee range are fine with deCONZ, but experience with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT appears to be mixed.

Hello all,

I am running Zigbee2mqtt on my intel Nuc with a Conbee II stick. It always worked fine.

I wasn't home for two weeks and suddenly I my zigbee devices stopped working. When looking into the Zigbee2mqtt app It won't start when I press start. Also I get this message in the logs:

node index.js
Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-08-15 23:13:55: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman
Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-08-15 23:13:55: Failed to start zigbee

Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-08-15 23:13:55: Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)**

What can I do to get my Zigbee2mqtt working again? I already tried switching my Conbee stick to another USB hub and installing Zigbee2mqtt again. No succes

jade cargo
#

@warm totem did you read this

warm totem
#

Thank you. I read something about it. Could this mean the Conbee stick is broken? I didn't don any changes during my vacation and i suddenly crashed so that's a bit odd. Also, I dont have any experience with reflashing

jade cargo
#

it could be broken

#

can you see the serial port?

#

also the conbee needs some additional settings to work

#

that page explains everything

warm totem
#

I can see the serial port etc. And it does recognize the stick

#

Well, I did a back-up from my home assisttant from 3 months ago. It works again. I don't know what the problem is unfortunaly

Hello! I have a simple question. I have a Raspberry Pi 4b with SSD installed in an Argon with Home Assistant. Using the Conbee II USB key with a 3m USB extension cable. Fresh install. I'm experiencing some problems with automations. My network contains around 60 devices, most of them Philips Hue lights, motion sensors + Aqara motion sensors. What's happening is that sometimes some lights don't turn off or on. Right after the install, when my network was around 40/50 devices I didn't observe those issues but after one week and after adding a bit more devices, this happens. My questions -> 1. Is it common with Zigbee ? 2.Should I create Groups in Zigbee2mqtt to improve the behavior? 3. Any hint about what could be the source of the issue?

I want to check the firmware of all connected Zigbee devices. Nothing else.

I use Zigbee2MQTT which exposes that very obviously in the UI

But to use Zigbee2mqtt i have to Flash my Conbee II fight?

#

Right

sour shadow
#

Well, no

lone sierra
#

Ok

sour shadow
#

The ConBee is no longer experimental in Z2M, you can just use it

#

At least, as well as it ever works

lone sierra
#

Ok i will try that. Thx for the help

sour shadow
#

You will have to re-pair everything

#

You'll also have to have an MQTT broker configured and working with HA, and all the other bits the Z2M getting started guide mentions

#

(Z2M's default channel is also a poor one, pick another)

lone sierra
#

Ok. I allready have MQTT brokee installed so

Not so much the strenght of the stick as it is more the brains to handle all the traffic, and the better software to bridge that and the broker ie zha z2m ect

# vital zodiac Hello! I have a simple question. I have a Raspberry Pi 4b with SSD installed in ...

The other advice is good, but in the meantime you could still create ZigBee groups for bulbs that you'd typically control together. Using them does reduce network traffic some. I'd stick to grouping the same general types of bulbs though, as I've had some issues trying to combine bulbs from different vendors (IKEA and Hue, for example, were having transition issues when combined in a ZigBee group)

#

did anyone here manage to setup Z2M in a synology docker?

sour shadow
#

What's the problem you're having?

dry lichen
#

I have replicated it in my normal docker in a VM which spins up perfectly, it seems to be a Synology specific issue (which i fail to recognize and configure correctly, i'm not saying it's on synology)

sour shadow
#

Did you use host networking, or map a port?

dry lichen
#

I tried both ways

#

Mapping a port 8080:8080 didnt work, and host networking doesn't either

#

I also had the docker run for 30 mins in both cases just to see if it was startup related

#

It wasnt a HTTPS or HTTP issue either

sour shadow
#

Well, Z2M doesn't do SSL

dry lichen
#

meant more like - going to http:// vs https:// which seemed to be a lot of issues for people online

sour shadow
#

Well, Z2M doesn't support SSL, so https:// wouldn't work

#

Anybody trying https:// better have a proxy server handling SSL

dry lichen
#

Yeah i meant that the issues people had online (when i was researching my issue) was that their browsers automatically reverted to https. I am trying to get ahead of potential issues by naming the roads i went down. I understand it doesnt work with https

dry lichen
#

FWIW Tinkerer, I got it sorted

sour shadow
#

Never even thought that your problem was didn't enable the frontend

dry lichen
#

Somehow managed to skimp over the fact that that isn't by default lol

#

It seems like such a major component of Z2M and it's quite odd to not be enabled by default, but seeing Koen stated in that thread that he needs to find a way to enable it by default without breaking a lot of existing installations make sense

#

Now to figure out why two of my smart knobs are suddenly unsupported...

sour shadow
#

Yeah, it was only introduced around 1.15 I think, before then there was no native UI

dry lichen
#

Dear lord why did i not run the latest image 🤦‍♂️

#

recreated the container with the newest image and my knobs are supported again. Thanks Tinkerer. You asking me questions enforced the fact the issue was 100% in my own config SOMEWHERE and the minute i went back to basics i found the issue

I just had an interesting experience with one of the little square Tradfri 2-button rocker dimmers. I paired it once fine the day I got it then it stopped working by the next day. Attempts to reconfigure it said "failed" and deleting and adding it again either got stuck initializing or said it worked then the remote was not functional. I was about to throw it back at Ikea for being faulty and as a hail Mary I decided to change the battery. Now it works fine. I'd never had a duff battery in something out the box like that

Or are you referring to the USB one? I am using the PoE powered one so I could put it wherever I want it. USB is no issue either. Up until recently I ran a USB coordinator in my ESXI VM and it's a dead simple process. You just need to pass through the USB device in the VM settings and HA will pick up on it

PoE ones are out of stock for a bit. Just heard back from the ESP32-PoE maker (Olimex) and they gave me a 4 week lead time.

Ah he might be referring to the USB one then

I sell non-PoE one as Ethernet/USB with the ethernet module optional.. set up over network is identical. just requires a 5v micro usb for power.

nah, I have a cluster here managed by vcenter hence vmotion. That's why i'm looking at a ethernet model. I have usb zwave aeotec zstick g5 here (it's bound to 1 esxi host by passthrough) and sometimes there's a few seconds delay especially with doors shut. Using aeotec multisenor 6 which are a great idea for all in one but its just annoying slow... zigbee seems to be the next path. with vm migration support 🙂

If you have access to the outer machine, HP machines, for example should let you measure the incoming air, CPU and hard drive temperatures without buying any new hardware. They have a utility package to read all the hardware data. If you graph those then you should be able to see the gap widening as the filter gets blocked

If you look at some reviews the aqara do very well for battery life and aqara seem very easy to get into z2m

Ok...I have one here I have not setup yet but all the other aqara didnt need a hub. I use z2m.

So, I broke my ZigBee network. I tried to install zigbee2mqtt and it failed to start. So I uninstalled the add-on and found out none of my ZigBee devices work.

I think you can there is a procedure that you get the bulb within 100mm of the antenna and send a broadcast command to get its ID then send to that ID telling it to pair again.

Found an unopened Hue motion sensor in a cupboard (same as the other one I've got) but can't get it to pair with my zigbee2mqtt. The light on the front is flashing red but no join. Can't see anything in the Z2M logs either. Do some of these Hue devices only work after you pair them to a Hue hub first? All the devices I migrated from a Hue hub work, but I've not had much luck with anything I've tried to pair first time to Z2M thinking about it.

#

hmm it finally worked after restarting Z2M and trying to pair a couple more times

Well, what version? 2022.8.0? 2022.6.3?

iron thicket
#

Latest, bar 1

austere patio
#

If it's 2022.8.0 or newer, a backup of your network exists within /config/zigbee.db. Can you PM me that file? The user interface to actually restore ZHA backups didn't make it into 2022.8.0 but you get it to happen automatically once you delete the Z2M backup from the database and then re-flash the firmware on your stick.

#

You can also do this by reflashing the firmware and restoring HA to a backup from before when you used Z2M (assuming the backup is 2022.8.0 or later)

iron thicket
#

Yh I did a back up from 2 weeks ago, the day I purchased the stick and set it up.

#

I made a full back up after my new ZigBee network was done

#

That back up was restored and didn't fix it

austere patio
#

HA backups don't restore ZHA network state

iron thicket

I can possibly send the back up over when I get home

How they work is they conect to the yale hub, i assume by zigbee as it runs on the zigbee band, however when i put them into learn, nothing shows up.

I got a feeling its because there "paired" with a yale hub, hence why learn mode doesn't do anything. But if its impossible to connect them to HA i wont bother trying to get em reset

It should keep trying to re-establish the connection until it works. All of those errors are expected if either the ESP8266 firmware's TCP side is broken, or if the part that talks to the Zigbee chip isn't working right.

On 8/3 I did the same and it didn't give the NCP failed message. Is there any way to view the version I was using on that date?

#

... I think it was the current release before I downgraded to 2022.6

Not sure, point is I have never reproduced the NCP error by dropping the connection

Howdy folks, after a few upgrades I'm working through my homeassistant logs to clear out any warnings and errors.
I'm getting a bunch of asyncio.exceptions.CancelledErrors from zigpy_znp/api.py. Quick search didn't turn up much on this on Google, so wondering if I can tap onto your wisdom for direction on debugging these.
This is HASSOS: Home Assistant 2022.8.5, Supervisor 2022.08.3, Operating System 8.4, ZHA.
Awesome snippet: https://dpaste.org/z7jzk#L17

There's some stuff in configuration yaml that is... well, I'm not really sure about

      channels: [15, 20, 25] # Channel mask [13, 18, 23]```
#

looks weird by just looking at it, let me read up on what this is actually doing

#

but correct based on the docs

#

Did you put the stick on a USB extension cable?

#

Tinkerer: yes I did

#

I've got to use something as the pi4 running HASSOS is in an rack down in the basement.
The benefit with that is cooling is kinda solved, but a basement rack based zigbee antenna is essentially worthless - so the stick is out on a cable for better reception

# dry lichen heck i use mostly ikea bulb

My only complaint about IKEA bulbs is that they don't seem to work well with something like Adaptive Lighting that has combined long, gradual brightness transitions, despite quite a bit of attempted troubleshooting. I've since moved them to rooms that I'm typically not in for long periods of time and just have their AL adjustments happen once whenever they turn on

#

If I could fix that, I'd happily use them in place of other options (except for the bedroom, which I've kept as Hue due to their minimum brightness being much lower)

dry lichen
#

I somehow remediated it, can check it later tonight for you if you’d like

flint bone
dry lichen
#

Mmm I set the transition delay to instant to fix that I think

flint bone
#

Aha, on the bulbs themselves?

dry lichen
#

Nah AL has a separate setting to tweak the start transition IIRC

#

So if I turned them off at 1% they start at 1% again but switch to their target % instantly

#

It’s not clean I guess but I don’t mind the .1 sec flash once a day

flint bone
#

Ah, you mean the initial transition. What happens in my case is when the bulbs are already on and are supposed to be gradually dimming, every 90 seconds (the interval) they quickly dim more than desired and then gradually transition back to where they should be

dry lichen
#

I’m gonna check it out for you tonight because I somehow got them working perfectly

flint bone
#

So like if they're at 90% and are told to transition to 89% over 45s, they dim far more than 1% quickly, and then over 45 seconds transition up to 89% (even though they report as 89%)

dry lichen
#

Wait are you using % or 0-255?

#

For brightness adjustment

flint bone
#

Whichever adaptive lighting does heh

#

I suspect one factor might also be that I've used groups

dry lichen
#

It offers both 🤣

#

Oh don’t do groups

#

That doesn’t work

#

Use individual lights

flint bone
#

Yeah, I've tried separating the ikea bulbs individually as well

dry lichen
#

I’m gonna @ you tonight

Interesting. Don't have a need hopefully not anytime soon. Going to make UI changes?

austere patio
#

Going a slightly different direction: it will be a part of the initial ZHA config flow, which will let you choose how to deal with network settings and also change the serial port without editing files

novel cloud
#

Initial flow as in when someone sets up the integration (fresh install)? Or config flow as in the configuration page for zha with (shortcuts, global options,etc). I think it is awesome that a new coordinator without a network loaded will automatically get a network restored to it. Will it ever be possible to do coordinator firmware updates without having to take apart the coordinator and hit the boot button for example?

austere patio
#

Both. Coordinator firmware updates are planned but there's no magic to work around hardware limitations that prevent the stick from getting into its bootloader (if you're referring to the Sonoff, that's integrated into cc2538-bsl.py via --bootloader-sonoff-usb)

novel cloud
#

Yeah I am referring to sonoff. I assume it will be coordinator firmware updates with an asterisk informing the user if their coordinator is compatible.

Is your Conbee on a USB extension cable?

#

Plug the Conbee into a USB 2.0 extension cable and try it once more. The Conbee is sensitive to interference, especially from USB ports and nearby devices.

#

You can use a 3.0 one as well, just plug it into a 2.0 port

wooden trail
#

but in MQTT it doesn't show everything and it isn't being configured as a remote

#

MQTT:

#

any ideas?

austere patio
#

Can you try resetting and re-joining it after swapping the battery?

azure fable
#

I've just migrated from a Pi3 to a Pi4 and moved my Raspbee into the new Pi, restored Home Assistant from a backup, and most of my ZHA devices aren't working. It seems the switches and sensors are working (I see in Logbook), but the lights are not (all Hue).

I see this old comment say "you do have to run a few commands" – what are those commands!?

austere patio
#

If you've moved the physical adapter, there's nothing you need to do

#

Can you actually verify that the Raspbee is functional? There is some sort of configuration you need to do on the pi to enable the serial port to get the Raspbee working.

azure fable
#

It must be functional since the motion sensors are updating, and when I press a zigbee switch (Lutron) I see the event

#

Forgot to say, I've made the two config.txt changes needed

austere patio
#

If you can see updates, the network is functional. The Conbee/Raspbee doesn't store any information about joined devices, especially routers, so I'm not too sure what would the issue can be here. Have you ever updated the firmware on the Raspbee?

azure fable
#

No

#

My system logs have some zha warnings: "async_initialize: all attempts have failed" but I don't know what devices that refers to

austere patio
#

Likely the bulbs

#

Have you tried powering the bulbs off for a few seconds and then turning them back on?

azure fable
#

yeah

#

There are some sensors in my house whose batteries are dead, so I'm not certain the warnings are for the bulbs. The bulbs do not appear as "unavailable", the UI control for on/off is enabled but when I press it it reverts e.g. back to "on" after a few seconds.

austere patio
azure fable
#

In fact, it's reporting the correct state of the lights!

#

sure, thanks for the help

austere patio
#

So you're able to receive sensor updates and bulb states, but you can't reach any device?

azure fable
#

yes, I'm able to receive sensor updates and bulb states and my smart lock state (Wyse), but cannot switch on or off the bulbs, and cannot unlock the door!

austere patio
#

Interesting. I think I may have an idea as to what has happened but there's unfortunately no way to to possibly "fix" it without updating the firmware on the Raspbee

azure fable
#

Is that difficult?! I have a spare SD card if I need to use a different OS.
(rebooting now with log config added)

austere patio
azure fable
#

This seems to be the most telling log entry. I'll paste in the ~35 lines for a button press if you like:
[zigpy_deconz.zigbee.application] Error while sending 147 req id frame: TXStatus.MAC_CHANNEL_ACCESS_FAILURE

austere patio
#

Hmmm that would do it

#

I thought the Raspbee managed to erase its network settings somehow and zigpy restored from a backup, but since the network frame counter on Raspbee/Conbee devices is 0 on early firmwares, the restore was incomplete

#

Instead you just have interference issues 😆

azure fable
austere patio
#

Do you have any new hardware plugged into your pi 4

#

And that's your problem 😄

azure fable
#

ok, thanks! Not sure how to fix it, wrap the disk in tinfoil!?!

austere patio
#

I guess move it around until the Raspbee starts working

#

Or ditch the Raspbee and buy a better Zigbee coordinator that can be plugged into a USB port, on a 2.0 extension cable

dry lichen
#

based on what you said all your end devices are functional but your router devices are not, correct?

#

oh nvm ssd

Is there someone who is using deconz with an ikea bulb? I just have a simple question because i want to know if this is only my experience or not. When I am using the slider in the lovelace ui (for example with the light card) to change the brightness of the ikea bulb, there is no transition and the new brightness is set instantly. Say we want to change it from 100% to 50%. I move the slider, let go and the bulb is set to 50% in an instant. Does this also apply to someone else using home assistant to control an ikea bulb that is connected via the deconz integration?

dry lichen
#

Moved away from deconz recently though

austere patio
#

The transition time should be configurable with all of the Zigbee integrations

ripe shell
#

Interesting. I noticed that hue bulbs have a transition when dimmed via ui (hue bulb also connected via deconz) but ikea bulbs somehow do not have this transition and I asked myself how i could achieve the transition on the ikea bulb when dimmed via the ui slider

dry lichen
#

i have on/off transition on ikea bulbs, never had ui slider transition with deconz

ripe shell
#

Do you think that this is a deconz issue?

#

or maybe not an issue more like a limitation

dry lichen
#

Might be a limitation, I have never been bothered by it honestly

ripe shell
#

Ok, it bothers me a bit in comparison to the hue bulbs. I think it is somehow connected with ikea bulbs not accepting a change in brightness an color at the same time if the transition is not 0. I will try to find out if this is an ikea or deconz limitation because I really like the transition effect and hue bulbs are a bit expensive especially the color ambiance ones. Thank you for your help.

dry lichen
#

Like a mix of hue and ikea bulbs in one group, and that’s the one you control?

ripe shell
#

No, i have a hue bulb in my bedroom and an ikea bulb in my living room and noticed the difference between those when dimmed with the ui. But both are connected to Home Assistant with deconz

dry lichen
#

IIRC the harsh transition was limited to the UI

#

Using remotes it was fine

ripe shell
#

IIRC? Sorry, what does that mean?

#

I found out that the harsh transition is only when dimming with the Home Assistant ui. I am getting a smooth transition with both bulbs when using the Phoscon ui from deconz. Maybe this is a problem with the Home Assistant deconz integration but I am not sure
