Yeah remotes and deconz ui were fine for me. Just HA UI wasn’t

Dear all,

I have had issues over the past few days with my zigbee2MQTT not starting and Bad gateway. I have looked in the logs and it states "configuration is not consistant with adapter state/backup" I search for answers and cannot seem to find a suitable soulution to get it back up and running. I have not changed any settings, since it was orginally set-up and at that time was working perfectly. My setup is a tubeszb-cc2652 POE dongle, with a fixed ip and I can ping it and log into it. With my local MQTT broker within homeassistant.

Zigbee2MQTT version 1.27.0-1

Attached is my log from Zigbee2MQTT

Thanks in advance for any asisstance

I will say first off that channel 11 is likely to be a terrible choice

#

Not sure why it thinks the coordinator and your backup differ though, those look to be the same

I updated Zigbee2mqtt about a week ago. My Hue Dimmer Switch disconnected as a consequence. I have since reset and reconnected it at least 4 times. I see it in the Z2M web interface. But the dimmer switch always decides to directly connect to a smart plug. The only thing I can do is turn that plug on and off. Surely I am missing something very basic....

This is a hardware thing with the bulbs themselves

I reconfigured all my network from scratch, clean install with conbee 2. Seems to be working fine but when i send orders to turn on lights or turn off lights some lights don’t respond. It seems to be event worth when i try to turn on all lights in a room. Is it normal with zigbee? Do i really need to create a group and update my automation as a workaround??

I just brought a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle, it was just discovered but i get the following error:

I'm having a problem where my IKEA tradfri light bulb turns on as expected in the morning with my automation, however it turns on to a low brightness level and then never transitions to 100% brightness like the automation calls for. The automation portion looks good, imo, so I'm wondering if it's something to do with the configuration of the bulb. I'm using ZHA and in the device page for this bulb there's configuration options. They seem unrelated to this issue, but I can't find documentation on them so I'm unsure

#

just in case, this is the transition automation:

#

action:

  • service: light.turn_on
    data:
    transition: 60
    color_temp: 153
    brightness_pct: 100
    target:
    device_id: 5de84d7113d38399969ded351cdc57b0

the issue with zigbee2mqtt is that they use obscure product/manufacturer codes and sometimes merger them under the same device page so the image does not always match the reality

# gleaming jay I'm having a problem where my IKEA tradfri light bulb turns on as expected in th...

IKEA Tradfri bulbs seem to have a bug when attempting to issue turn_on commands with 3 data components (in this case, transition, color_temp, and brightness_pct). The 3rd bit gets dropped, so you're likely just transitioning to the specified color temp over 60s. The workaround I've seen most often is to split the command into two separate turn_on commands (ie. transition color temp over 30s and then transition brightness over 30s), but it's not a perfect workaround

Not "confirmed working" doesn't mean it doesn't work, it just means nobody has submitted any confirmation to that specific database

#

I'm 99% sure every current and future IKEA lightbulb will work out of the box

violet dagger
#

so if it does, holler 😉

mortal oasis
#

I starting first with the trying STYRBAR, it found it, it configurated it, and it takes a long time to init it, is that normal?

austere patio
#

IKEA devices are sometimes tricky to join and may go to sleep before ZHA has time to configure them. Click the button to keep it awake the entire time it's joining.

mortal oasis
#

@austere patio you mean the join button on the backside?

#

or any button?

austere patio

No, the button itself

mortal oasis

this one has 4 buttons;)

And my lightbulb works fine after i upgraded my zigbee dongle.

#

I have now 2 zigbee devices in my configuration.

#

@violet dagger not sure of you need to do that or that you want me to update the descriptions. But i would suggest that updating the firmware of the sonoff zbdongle-p 3.0 is advisable for a better working with for instance the IKEA zigbee devices.

#

anyway to everyone that helped me starting, thankyou very much

#

it always some puzzling to get new stuff working on the first start

midnight forum
#

Is there anyway to readd a zigbee device and have it keep the same device ID and entity ID in HA? Using ZHA

Still having an issue where after binding a Tradfri shortcut switch to my Coordinator I can no longer control one of my LED strip controllers.

At this point I've given up on repairing that device so I would like to try to readd it, but ideally I would like to keep the same Device ID and Entities within HA so that it doesnt break my HomeKit integrations

austere patio
#

You don't necessarily have to remove the device from ZHA, just factory reset it, permit joins, and ZHA will configure it from scratch once you join it again

midnight forum
#

Ah interesting. I will give that a shot thank you. Now to see if I still have the manual hidden away somewhere......

Does anyone here actually use zigbee bindings? If yes, what remote/bulb combination?

Pairing
Hold button until LED start flashing (about 6 seconds), then release.
Pairing is done when LED stop flashing.

#

😎

midnight forum
#

Oh wow thank you! So I put it in pairing mode and then go to the Add Device interface on ZHA? I am not sure what "permit joins" are

austere patio
#

They're the same thing

dry lichen
midnight forum
#

Ah gotcha. I think that is done by adding a device through the config menu in ZHA

dry lichen
#

Honestly I couldn't tell you the ZHA specifics because I run Z2M but I guess you're right

midnight forum
#

Yeah I didnt super know what I was doing first time I set up and originally ran HAOS so ZHA was the natural choice. There are some features that make me want to hop over to Z2MQTT but every time I think about it I get pre-frustrated and put it off lol.

dry lichen
#

I recently made the jump from deconz to Z2M. It was painless because I just bought a new coordinator. I actually ended up doing 50% one day, 50% the next day

#

No rush if your old network also still works 🙂

midnight forum
#

Yupp it works fine for now. The biggest issue I am still having is the battery drain think with the Tradfri devices from Ikea. They last about a week on ZHA and it is quite annoying

dry lichen
#

Is that actually a ZHA issue?

midnight forum
#

From what I was reading yeah. When it does not go through one of the Ikea Gateways there is a polling rate issue of some sort and it just zaps the battery

dry lichen
#

I am using a few tradfri battery devices and honestly never encountered an issue

midnight forum
#

Yeah it seems to be a random issue that is tied to specific coordinators. Many people use the same model as me with no issues but every Tradfri on my network has this issue

#

Oh btw put the device back into pairing mode and it was immediately recognized by ZHA with its original device name and everything works as it did before

dry lichen
#

Interesting thread. I did OTA update on my on/off tradfri switch a few days ago which took like 1-2 hours. It drained from 90% to 60% and is now back at 87% lol

Glad to help man 🙂

midnight forum

#

I personally update firmware on all my zigbee devices, never had an issue. Your mileage may vary though!

I think one IKEA OTA update broke groups or something, double check your specific device

Speaking of - anyone here using Zigbee bindings?

#

Just held down the reset switch in the tradfri and then the LED strip started blinking lol

#

It looked like the exact same sequence I saw when holding down the pairing button on the LED strip to rebind it as you advised except I wasnt holding down the LED strip button. I was holding down the Tradfri button. Very odd and only affected the one LED strip. I have several more of the same model that had no issue.

Binding is very elusive and some voodoo is required is all i managed to find out so far

Makes sense

#

Never really thought about batteries honestly. I just buy the IKEA ones for AA/AAA and Duracell coins

#

I'm getting value for my AA batteries because I hung battery LED strips in my two closets (the led light is from ikea too lol) because there is no power near there to wire it up. Gotta change 4x AA batteries every now and then, and just dunk them in the charger whilst putting in the new set

dry lichen
#

Any chance you need to click them all, do all the actions first so the coordinator learns them?

#

It's like that for a few of my remotes. They dont offer me any actions in HA until i actually perform all the actions at least once

mortal oasis
#

tried that as well but it does not make any difference.

dry lichen
#

what messages do you see in the logs when you press a button?

mortal oasis
#

nothing at all.

dry lichen
#

Which logs you checking?

mortal oasis
#

What do you see on the device overview? do you see the buttons there ... I only see the diafnostic values as battery power "unknown" and Identifybutton.

dry lichen
#

You should have an action sensor as far as i know

#

Keep in mind i'm on Z2M and do have ikea remotes, just not yours. But it should be pretty similar.

mortal oasis
#

Yeah i was somehow expecting to see an action sensor or four.

dry lichen
#

I was wrong

#

ZHA does not give you the action sensor

#

Are you familiar with blueprints?

mortal oasis
#

yes i am and i added the blueprint for the styrbar

dry lichen

No dice?

mortal oasis
#

I some events popping up begin of the evening but then i tried to "reconfigurate device" option etc. and now i see noting happening 😦

dry lichen
#

What happens when you repair it?

#

Don’t delete or anything, just enable pairing and reset the remote

mortal oasis
#

i'm restarting HA to see of then everything is starting op as it should be

#

I did that as well

#

What i find strange about the pairing sequense is that at the last page where you can set the name and location ... that screen cant be closed.

dry lichen
#

I was also having this exact issue with my Electrolama ZZH (CC2652R) Stick and the E2002 remote. I finally got it to pair by pressing the pairing button in the battery compartment 5 times in quick sucession until the red light flashed and turned solid, let it run through the configuration in Add Devices and then without removing the device between attempts, repeating the process again. It took 5 attempts but each time the remote was running through (and failing) different endpoints and nwk values, and updating the existing values tied to the IEEE. You know it's working once the battery on the green successful configuration card goes from unavailable to blank or shows a value.

Thanks for the help yesterday.

After I posted here and we figured it was the USB 3 SSD that was probably the issue, I tried updating the firmware on my RaspbeeII which borked the Raspbee and after a while I got it working again with deCONZ by downgrading the firmware (using the Phoscon Raspian image).

Now it's back in my Pi4, I'm able to add devices but all the previously added devices are "unavailable". Is there any way to reinitialize my devices without re-pairing each one? (I've 46 devices and the Hue lights wouldn't reset when I tried with two different Philips remotes earlier today... I'd really like to avoid it, I'd have to get on a ladder for one!)

Or at least, why are they not communicating with the Raspbee anymore? I even tried restoring to a backup from a few days ago (when they were somewhat working, updating state, when that backup was restored from Pi3 to Pi4). I presume it has a radio MAC address which is the same, and I know there is a network_key but that should still work since I restored from the backup.

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to the whole Zigbee world and I would like to buy a few smart plugs compatible with Zigbee.
A quick look on Aliexpress got me these : https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005002046241470.html?mp=1&gatewayAdapt=glo2fra

The title says Zigbee but also Tuya, i've seen tons of those Tuya Zigbee devices and I was wondering if those were compatible with a standard Zigbee hub and not the crappy Tuya Gateway?

I already experienced Tuya with Wifi devices and it's a pretty crappy experience so I would like to give Zigbee a try but I can't find low-budget devices without the Tuya logo everywhere.

Well, the bridge is:

  1. Really shitty
  2. Not for the SonoffLAN integration, but for ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT

i see the dongle is better the zigbee 3.0 ?

sour shadow

Almost anything is better than the ZBBridge

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.

sour shadow
#

If they're both Zigbee devices, and both in the same Zigbee mesh, and both support Zigbee Binding... and you're using ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT... yes

unborn sentinel
#

but when i use Zigbee2MQTT i have an error 502 something like this in the browser

sour shadow
#

502 error ... doing what?

#

Typically that means that the add-on isn't running

unborn sentinel
#

502 bad gateway

#

sorry

#

and zha i need to write a port adress

sour shadow
#

I'm confused

#

You're talking about binding, then about port addresses

#

Those two things are unrelated

#

As is Zigbee2MQTT not running

unborn sentinel
#

i can install zigbee2Mqtt in windows ?

sour shadow
unborn sentinel
#

without ha ?

#

Did you read the Z2M install docs?

#

Because, they have a section titled Windows

#

It's probably a bad idea, like running almost any server on Windows (desktop) is a bad idea

unborn sentinel
#

i have an other option who its worked before but its cost 90$/year but i wont pay this

on ifttt pro :(

It's going to be easier to get right than trying to run stuff in Windows - even running it in a virtual machine on Windows is better than directly on Windows

Hello everyone. I'm having a problem with z2m and my mosquitto broker. I have 2 instances of z2m. One in my main server, installed via hacs and paired with the zigbee devices that are close to it. And another running in a raspberry pi on the other extreme of my house, with the closest zigbee devices paired to it. They both talk to my mosquitto broker in my main server installed by hacs. They have all the relevant configs identical. The problem is that after a while (sometimes its 2 hours, other times its 20 hours), the z2m in the raspberry pi disconnects from the broker and the only way to make it connect again is restarting z2m. I have tried everything (including setting them in the same network) and this keeps happening.. Anyone knows something about how can I resolve this?

#

oh, if I go to the webpage for the pi's z2m, everything is "normal" in there.. I can control the devices, just won't show in HA.

when I first set them up, a few months ago, they worked flawless for a few months, but this problem started happening a few weeks ago.

#

I left empty the client id for the z2m in both. Then I tested setting a unique client ID for the z2m on the pi and the problem continued

#

they even have the same zigbee adapter.. the sonoff zigbee 3.0 adapter..

#

hmmm anyone have an idea why my zigbee entities are unavailable in hass (they work fine through the Z2M dashboard, but not in hass)
it stopped working since last night, so I'm thinking either an update broke it or something in the sql db is corrupt, but I have no idea on how to reset the sql db

#

nothing weird is found in the logs

#

small example:
2022-08-21 10:55:17.665 INFO (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.mqtt.discovery] Found new component: switch 0x54ef441000158b9c switch
so I assume it should work, but it remains unavailable and doesn't do anything

#

apparently it's the 20220820 version that's broken

#

reverted to 20220805 without any issue again

Hey, I'm currently planing my smarthome light setup and I'd like to change LED intensity by daytime but wire the lamps regularly in a direct way. So turning them off cuts the power from the led driver/led lamp completly. What would happen if i turn them on after total cut from power? Do they glow at 100% power? Or do they wait for the first signal to see what intensity they should be? E.g. they need to be dimmed at night right after getting power

#

Or is zigbee not the right approch for that ?

ok thanks for the reply, so basically thats something you shouldnt do? what's special about sengled? Also what would be an alterantive in my case?

Sengled bulbs are one of the few, possibly only, bulbs that aren't router devices

Turning off your routers is going to cause you problems as you break the mesh

Binding is entirely possible, just use ikea lights and ikea remotes.

Has anyone ever have issues with Zigbee devices just not reporting state updates at all? Using zigbee2mqtt, the last maybe 2 or 3 days, my Aqara sensors are no longer reporting their states at all. I've removed and repaired them, and still, motion sensors are not reporting any motion..

jolly narwhal
#

No issues here with 40 or so aqara sensors

#

They don't update unless the change is relevant

#

Don't remember the thresholds off the bat

I've placed the sensor in a room, left if for 5 mins, then walked in, and it hasn't detected anything.. lol

#

Thinking I may just need to start a clean install and build my HA from scratch

jolly narwhal
#

Never seen, tried pairing it to a known good parent?

#

Also,what is your coordinator?

south cargo
#

Conbee II, and have just setup 2 Sonoff Zigbee USB devices as routers

Oh, I'd swap the conbee for one of the sonoff ones

#

If it is the ZigBee 3.0 ones

The conbee is... Known to be YMMV using it outside of phoscon

Hmm fair enough. Might just switch to using one of the Sonoffs as the coordinator then

If it is the 2652 based ones

If it is 2531, don't

I'm giving ZHA a try, I tried to pair my window cover to it, but it doesnt show up properly.

#

it shows up as

lumi.curtain.aq2
by LUMI

#

Can I fix that somehow?

austere patio
#

That's what the device reports, Lumi is the manufacturer of Aqara devices

lilac rapids
#

it exposes a cover accessory, but the buttons are not correct

#

also I cant set the specific percentage

austere patio
#

As in they're inverted?

lilac rapids
#

hmmm its hard to explain

#

like Right now for example

the upbutton is disabled, and the STOP and DOWN buttons are enabled

#

if I open the window manually, then press the down button in hass, it goes down

#

there is also another entity called number showing up as a slider but it doesnt show the current window position nor allows me to set it

#

I was using it with Zigbee2mqtt before and it worked there, I'm just trying to see if I can work with Zha directly

#

I guess it just isn't compatible with Zha

#

too bad

#

Back to z2m it is

edgy crescent
#

Can anyone tell me about device binding in ZHA? I've figured that if I bind a button to a light it'll allow it to turn on/off without needing to create an automation however I'm wondering what else it does. Does binding a device directly to another device also allow them to communicate directly assuming the Zigbee coordinator goes down (eg HA crashing)?

tropic depot
#

it should

edgy crescent
#

Ah great. Thanks. Now onto the next question - once devices are binded to each other (eg button and light) is there a way to set it so more advanced features (eg double click, hold) control other functions of the other device (eg brightness, colour)?

austere patio
#

Not unless the button itself supports sending those commands. Binding is very basic.

Hi I just started with zigbee and so far everthing seems to work only the LQI is zero, so I bought some router (aqara smart plugs) but the sensors which were already paired still connect to the sonof zigbee dongle. Is there an easy way to let them find a better route or do I have to re-pair them

I've just recently retired my hue bridge and moved all the devices to ZHA. As I was adding devices they were very responsive, but now ~12 hours later about half the devices don't work at all when I try and control them

#

I'm not sure how to go about debugging and fixing. I undated the firmware on my stick (conbee II). I've also checked the visualization (not sure how trustworthy) but many of the devices that aren't working have multiple green connections. 95% of my devices are wired and show up as "routers"

Is your Conbee on a USB 2.0 extension cable?

Are you able to receive sensor updates?

wide saffron
#

I'm not sure how to check that

austere patio
#

If you have temperature sensors and such, do they show recent temperatures? If the Conbee can receive but not transmit, it's likely interference.

I've heard about Conbee 2 being very problematic with ZHA

I've had ikea and hue bulbs on my conbee stick mixed, never had an issue. But I ran deCONZ

Have since moved on to an CC2652 with Z2M

#

Can someone recommend me a zigbee motion sensor with a low detection timeout? I know the hues are very good, but i need a couple and i don't particularly enjoy their price point

#

IKEA ones are very slow. I've heard loads of mixed experiences with the aqara P1's (not te be confused with FP1)

yeah, I'm planning on changing away from the conbee once something better is in stock -_-

#

not sure about moving to Z2M

but I suppose if I'm migrating all my devices, I might as well try

I assumed since HA built ZHA in that it would get good support, but not sure how much thats actually the case

I'm using a Conbee II with a USB 2.0 extension and the deCONZ integration....it's been rock solid with 30+ devices. Without the extension, I couldn't get any device to bind. With the extension, it's been perfect.

Im having issues with my Z2M

some end devices just stop talking with the coordinator after some time.

anyone know how to resolve that?
At first I thought the issue was signal strenght, but the LQi is pretty good

If I re-bind the device it works normally for some time.

edgy crescent
#

What devices? What climate?

#

Sonoff devices are notoriously crap in my experience.

lilac rapids
#

but I have a misc of contact sensors, PIR sensors and wireless switches.

edgy crescent
#

Yeah the SNZB range of stuff is mostly crap.

#

Motion sensors dropped off all the time, along with temp sensors.

#

Only devices I have left are some door sensors and buttons.

lilac rapids
#

doesnt make much sense to me, because for a while it will report fina

#

and suddently stop

#

and not come back

#

my PIR sensors work very well tho

edgy crescent
#

I found it was usually due to voltage drop on the tiny button cell. They drop too low due to temperature fluctuations and the device drops offline, then either the config corrupts or it just fails to reinitialise properly. Either way, annoying as hell.

lilac rapids
#

hmm ok, that makes more sense, but the batt is still very new. but I guess I can investigate that

edgy crescent
#

Yeah doesn't matter. I've had ones with brand new batteries drop off within 12 hours.

#

In the end I gave up the fight and moved motion sensors to Hue. Only ones I've kept of the Sonoff are the door/hall sensors and a couple buttons (although I'm replacing them as well).

# sour shadow ZHA works with events for remotes, not entities

relooking at the docs I've seen about the events. Strange thing is that, looking with event listener in HA developer tools, no event is fired for the Eglo remote. But using an ikea truglo on/off swith I can see the events. Seems that Eglo remote is the network but doesn't send messages to the concentrator 🤔

sour shadow
#

It should, if the device is paired correctly, but I use Z2M where things are more obvious

wild trout
#

Thank you @sour shadow, I will try to take a look to Z2M, but I suppose that this remote from Eglo has some problem when using outside their ecosystem, that's a pity....it's sooo cheap

It may also be that ZHA needs a quirk for it shrug

I have a question! I’ve got my home assistant host on a rack mounted server but I also have a spare raspberry pi server. Would it be worth buying a Zigbee to raspberry Pi and then connecting zigbee2mqtt (for example) over my network from my home assistant? Or are there better solutions for my case?

sour shadow
#

Depends on where that rack is

#

A USB extension cable may be enough

raven pollen
#

It does have a USB port but it’s in a metal rack

I’m thinking it wouldn’t be great for signal

A cable can go outside the rack

solid inlet

Can I create a strobe-effect using HUE bulbs and Home Assistant alone, or will I need a HUE bridge for that?

sour shadow
#

If you have a Zigbee coordinator and use a Zigbee group you can do it in HA

#

If you don't use a group you'll likely flood the mesh

#

Ideally though you buy bulbs that have a built in strobe/flash effect

solid inlet
#

Ah, cool. Didn't know they had it as an built-in effect. Any particular ones to look for?

sour shadow

No idea TBH, I've never looked at my Tradfri bulbs to see what they support

solid inlet
#

Ok. I'll dig a bit then. What would be needed in HA to do this, given using a group for the bulbs?

#

Just turning them on/off tends to be a bit slow?

sour shadow
#

The Zigbee group is to avoid sending a bunch of individual commands, which may flood the mesh

#

If the bulbs have their own built in strobe/flash feature that may be less of a big deal

To select a Zigbee channel that does not overlap with WiFi, try
channel 15, 20, or 25. These Zigbee channels avoid the most
common WiFi channels (1, 6, 11). Also note that channel 25 in the
US has lower transmission power per FCC requirements

What is the benefit of flashing a Sonoff controller to a router vs. using say a Sonoff outlet?

molten linden

The z-stack router fw can support more children, and the coordinator is a better radio chip. Cc2652 vs cc2531 in the outlet. If you need an outlet though nothing wrong with using it and taking advantage of it as a router.

Hey everyone! I commented earlier that my second z2m instance (running in a raspberry pi paired with devices that are to far away from my main server) is randomly disconnecting from home assistant. After narrowing down a lot, I realized that every time the z2m starts, it connects to my mosquitto broker and since I have the HA integration enabled, it shows in my HA. But if for some reason the z2m disconnects from the network, it becomes offline in HA even when it reconnects to the broker. I used a mqtt client on my phone and I was able to see the topics and control the devices. They just don't show on HA. Is there a way to force this handshake again? Without restarting the z2m instance (thats what I'm doing for now..)

#

even better. Why is it not reconnecting to HA after it reconnects to the broker?

So if I'm not mistaken, I think the issue I'm having is that zha does not expose a sensors last_seen as an entity. Previously I was able to parse this information from the zha.storage file.

I use it to make sure my water leak detectors aren’t going out of range. Or that they don’t stop working for some reason.

#

Since it is set and forget, and I don’t expect them to really ever signal that water was detected.

#

But I think I found the info I need in the zigbee sqlite database. Only I do not grok the difference between v6, v7 etc in the table names.

tropic depot
#

There is an event if you are trying to detect offline devices

pastel scarab
#

Ah. And what would cause a device to be regarded as offline?

tropic depot
#

It’s configurable but IIRC It’s 2 hrs for mains and 6 for battery

#

you can override it in the config panel though

pastel scarab
#

That seems a lot easier than writing my own python script to check last_seen in the database 😁

#

Very much appreciated.

Did we regress something in zigoy recently? Parents home assistant crashed, updated to the latest HA os and now having issues joining anything, some thing a will eventually join, but it's a pain, helping remotely, so not 100% if they are doing it correctly, but seeing lots of errors in the logs

tropic depot
#

What are the errors

graceful elm
#

Working on getting some readable, this is the primary one I'm seeing 2022-08-25 00:04:25.586 WARNING (MainThread) [zigpy.device] Device failed to initialize due to unexpected error Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/zigpy/device.py", line 177, in initialize await self._initialize() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/zigpy/util.py", line 130, in retry r = await func() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/zigpy/device.py", line 233, in _initialize await ep.initialize() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/zigpy/endpoint.py", line 73, in initialize self.profile_id = sd.profile AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'profile'

What radio too

graceful elm
#

Xbee, I think this is all around the xbee

#

I've noticed that we have trouble with serial commands to the xbee lately on my instance

tropic depot
#

That looks like the device either returned an invalid simple descriptor OR it didn’t reply at all and so why we kept going

#

Yeah it may be zigpy_xbee specifically

#

capture as much detail for each issue as you can and open issues. You may have to help us fix them though 😛

Lol, see what happens when I ignore things

and I can’t believe you used an xbee for your parents 😂

#

There instance is old

I'm thinking I may just ship them another coordinater and have them send me the xbee back

Nothing i do gets zigbee2mqtt to work again after i clicked on the configure button on discovered devices, i've uninstalled z2m and re installed, installed the edge version, reflashed the coordinator and tried the dev firmware and reset the nvram and z2m still fails to start

#

i may have been looking at the wrong logs, the old ones by accident getting a new error Error: spawn udevadm ENOENT which is progress

#

nm forgot to pass the usb back through to the ha vm

#

almost there it's trying to login to mosquito now

finally got it all fixed, had to reset mosquito settings too, don't know how it got so messed up, just need to re-pair everything again -_- and this time i can keep a backup of coordinator nvram too now that i've found zigstar multi tool

austere patio
#

The zigstar multitool is also using an old version of zigpy-znp, from 2021. There have been tons of changes since then.

twin gazelle
#

i wasnt able to get zigpy working on its own had setup a linux wsl to run it but was getting back exceptions

#

i still have a copy of coordinator_backup.json it appears, i may be able to restore assuming it didnt get overwritten by any of the resets, thanks

austere patio
#

Erase your stick's firmware again and replace the current coordinator_backup.json with your old one

#

And make sure your main Z2M config file is also the same

#

Z2M should then restore the old backup once you start it back up

twin gazelle
#

alright, will try that, thanks

twin gazelle
#

something seems to have gone screwey after i clicked to allow devices to join, the web interface just stopped responding and i had to force a vm reboot and on restart the boot is super slow when starting docker, from what i'm reading the database may be messed up based on a post from someone else having a similar issue with a 20 min boot

# tropic depot The FP1's work very well

At present I'm using motion sensors to achieve something like this, but obviously that has its downsides.
Based on the info I was able@to dig up: motion is faster for switching lights, but fp1 is actually capable of registering human presence without movement - e.g. "room occupied" becomes a reality.

Do you happen to have data on field of view, range, and power consumption by any chance?

#

FoV becomes interesting for a ceiling mount type of approach. Also, how do obstacles impact performance (let's say a ceiling light is in the view)
They say it's 5m radial distance - is that a 180° on X, Y axis?

cobalt dew

but this is the link where the old one was sold, because I cannot find any else on aliexpress, and here we had a lot of comments about the device is working.

There is any chance that will be supported by ZHA or better start arguing with seller to get older model?

I got 2 IKEA LED1650R5 which failed the interview but worked before. Tried touchlink but so far no succes. Any other options i could try?

Bought 3 new ones which are the IKEA LED2005R5 and the pair just fine.

But now i have 3x IKEA LED1650R5 which worked before but are now no longer able to be paired.

All 3 fail the interview after doing the on/off resets

#

The IKEA LED1537R6/LED1739R5 also paired just fine.

It’s only the IKEA LED1650R5 that is having issues with my setup

Solved by having the coordinator next to the bulb. had to reset the bulbs several times in order to get them to work.

Zigbee2MQTT drops a new major release monthly. You can add support for unsupported devices yourself.

#

ZHA also drops new releases monthly, and I believe now also allows you to build quirks for unsupported devices

sage plume
#

Mm, I mean its 'mostly' working for me at this point.. what's considered the gold standard these days for Zigbee?

sour shadow
#

Either ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT depending on whether you want it embedded in HA or separate

#

Z2M is the closest to the way deCONZ runs, in that it's separate from HA

sage plume
#

sorry, was thinking for a controller stick

#

🙂

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.

Command '.pickyourstick' was invoked by: Tinkerer

Keep in mind, you can't use deCONZ with anything other than ConBee

Yeha so I'd have to replace the whole stack basically, thats... a lot of faff 🙂

I suspect I know the answer, but does anyone happen to know if the Tube controller supports POE? or doe sit require USB power regardless?

🤔 If I acces the conbee2 direct and change the channel it Wil not change? 🤔 🤔 🤔 I'm confused

austere patio
#

If you use deCONZ then you can

#

Or edit the backup JSON from the above tool and then restore it

slate kestrel
#

Yes

#

Is it possible that HUE interfere? 🤔 It's also bizarre I have my hie bridge on 20 and the conbee2 on 11

austere patio
#

Not really

#

Though 11 is usually a bad choice for a Zigbee network: WiFi channel 1 can interfere with it

slate kestrel
#

15 should be a better option

austere patio
#

That's the ZHA default 😆

slate kestrel
#

15?

austere patio
#

But do the energy scan if you know how to use command line tools, it's more conclusive than guessing based on WiFi

slate kestrel
#

Okay but I'm searching the problem because it worked perfectly for 1 year

sour shadow
#

See also the pinned message on Zigbee and WiFi coexistence

slate kestrel
#

I know

sour shadow

The scan will tell you if it's a problem caused by WiFi talking over your Zigbee

I will. Heck that and report back

When using zigpy-cli to backup a coordinator, specifically Conbee II, is it normal for the backup's devices {} section to be empty? Looking at the open-controller-backup specification repo, I see the following in the README which makes me think an empty devices isn't quite right.

This is an array of devices relevant to the coordinator: namely children and devices with APS link keys shared with the coordinator.

#

It is running the May 15, 2022 firmware, deCONZ_ConBeeII_0x26780700.bin.GCF.

austere patio

#

Well, that was utterly painless. Stopped z2m, backed up, restored, started z2m, and things appear to be fully functional (and then some). Thanks puddly!

I read somewhere the Conbee lqi reports were bogus due to a firmware bug and I see things are no longer perfect as previously reported. The map lines make more sense too. Prior to the switch most links only appeared when NoneOfTheAbove was checked in map settings, but now most things are showing up as IsAChild which is more reasonable.

#

Time will tell if this fixes the problem that led me to switch - nodes connected to the Conbee not responding, but nodes connected to an intermediary router working fine.

I am ready to tear my hair out with z2m

what is giving you the face?

an entity?

when I go back into HA and click on the sidebar where I added the the link

jade cargo
#

do you have to add that in yaml

#

I thought links in the sidebar were only for add ons

spiral viper
#

You can add a couple lines to the HA config.yaml and have it plug into HA

jade cargo
#

is there an example somewhere

spiral viper
#

how do you access it?

jade cargo
#

of adding links

#

I want to do that now

spiral viper
jade cargo
#

oh you are using the host ip

spiral viper
#

You can add that into HA configure.yaml

I can see that z2q now has errors in the log

this has something to do with the port mapping

why not use the hostname of the controller

[ RESOLVED ]
I've got a few of these Moes BRT-100-TRV radiator thermostats, and while I can hook it up to ZHA, there's a few things missing (Z2M has this fully baked it seems: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt.io/blob/master/docs/devices/BRT-100-TRV.md)

The entities I'm getting in ZHA are climate.tze200_b6wax7g0_ts0601_becathermosta, switch.tze200_b6wax7g0_ts0601_switch, sensor.tze200_b6wax7g0_ts0601_battery
(so I'm missing out on some of the good stuff :D)

#

Now this device seems to be off in many ways. It announces itself ass Tuya compatible (which is the reason I believe for some of the entities are created), but it actually looks like a Beca (https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Beca_BRT-100.html)

ZHA picks this us with zhaquirks.tuya.ts0601_trv.MoesHY368_Type1new quirk - that seems to be a bit off - given earlier discussions here: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy/discussions/653, and separation out of this device to be under MoesHY368_Type2 (if I'm reading https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/pull/931 correctly).

So that takes me here: https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/pull/1192 as a potential quirk improving things

#

adding this quirk is not picking up anything I'd expect by default, but that might be because of:

        MODELS_INFO: [
            ("_TZE200_jeaxp72v", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_kfvq6avy", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_zivfvd7h", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_hhrtiq0x", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_ps5v5jor", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_owwdxjbx", "TS0601"),
            ("_TZE200_8daqwrsj", "TS0601"),
        ],

So this is clearly missing my _TZE200_b6wax7g0 entry

#

so far this was all my thought process (apologies for the length here) - the question would be: is it safe to add this entry and see if it works?
E.g. if it turns out that it doesn't, can I just remove this quirk, restart HA, and I end up getting back to my half-baked zhaquirks.tuya.ts0601_trv.MoesHY368_Type1new?

Hello there. I switched my coordinator from Cc253x to sonoff zigbee 3.0 dongle P. How the hell can i re-add my devices without unscrew all wall light switches?

you can manually add them back in by putting them in pairing mode

knotty saffron
#

Yeah, but sonoff zb mini need to push the button, which are located now inside the walls, behind the switches

spiral viper
#

Are you talking about flashing the sonoff?

knotty saffron
#

Nope.

#

About putting them in the pairing mode

spiral viper
#

you are talking about scanning each QR of each device?

knotty saffron
#

It's just a little dice , hidden behind actual wall switch

#

Still nope

spiral viper
#

then I do not understand the issue

knotty saffron
#

I changed my coordinator. All my devices disappeared. I can add them manually, but some of them had hard way to put them in a pairing mode

spiral viper
#

I am guessing that you will have to take them out to put them in pairing mode

#

but don't feel bad

#

I cannot even get my sonoff to work

knotty saffron
spiral viper

You may wish to look on the sonoff site and see if they allow it to be flashed by python

If zigbee is an standard, then some standardized way to export config should exist

I had no issues opening mine, but I do have a suitable screwdriver set

#

they were like welded shut

#

maybe I will just use the smartthings plugin since that is where all my devices are currently and screw using z2m

#

since I cant seem to get it running

#

I wonder if it is the usb port causing problems

sour shadow
#

If that's USB 3, and you're not using a USB extension cable, then quite possibly

spiral viper
#

no its an older usb card

sour shadow
#

Easy test, try to flash it elsewhere

spiral viper
#

like I said I am almost ready to just load the smartthings integration and leave it at that

#

then I won't have to rename everything and reload them all

#

Do you use any of the sonoffs as repeaters

#

and by adding repeaters does it give you more devices?

sour shadow
#

Well Zigbee routers allow you to extend the mesh, covering more range, and potentially adding more devices to the mesh (since there's a limit of how many devices can talk directly to the coordinator)

spiral viper
#

Well I don't think I have hit that limit

#

since everything currently runs

#

could you in theory add a second coordinator?

Well, that would create a second mesh, with a second install of Z2M required

spiral viper
#

I guess II should worry about getting the first one going since I wasted all day trying to get this one going

#

It was almost there I think

#

except the container was reporting that it could not connect to the device

sour shadow
#

If the stick wasn't flashed/working then it won't have been able to connect

spiral viper
#

I did not flash it at first

#

thought it might work out of the box

#

but then when I tried to flash it as I showed you it didn't work either

#

So my speculation is that it the device is faulty

sour shadow
#

Then either the computer you're trying to flash it on has a problem (hardware or Python issues) or the device is faulty

#

Try flashing it on another computer

spiral viper
#

python seems to be doing the right things

#

I will order another one and see if I get better results

sour shadow
#

Why not

Try flashing it on another computer

spiral viper
#

I am guessing the usb is ok because the zwave dongle in working fine

So interesting discovery today, was doing maintenance on my grandfather's instance and discovered that he had 9 sengled bulbs joined to his zigbee network, strangely they weren't added to the UI at all and I thought it odd that an 87 year old man would go out and buy smart bulbs and then manage to pair them.

#

Called and asked him about it and he didn't know anything about it, so I started toggling them, no changes at his house, but the neighbor's lights were turning on and off

#

I see this morning, they are all unavailable, lol

sour shadow
#

That can happen if you've left pairing enabled and your neighbour tries to pair new devices

graceful elm
#

Yep, it was disabled when I checked, but they must have snuck on, just odd that you'd go buy a bunch of smart lights and not be interested in ensuring they worked

Hello! I'm running HAOS on a RPi4 off an ssd, using an Electrolama stick. It was working perfectly fine and stable up till last night, when my devices stopped responding and ZHA reports error:

Retrying setup: [Errno 2] could not open port /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0'

Any ideas what could've caused this?

Also seem it's having problems seeing my USB's as I'm getting

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: /dev/serial/by-id: No such file or directory
➜  ~ ls -l /dev/ttyUSB0
ls: /dev/ttyUSB0: No such file or directory
sour shadow
#

Power issue, maybe?

native ether
#

Using a RPi4 official power brick, and I´m not gettign any undervoltage warnings

#

Also tried restarting the host

#

RPi power status also reports OK

native ether
#

After host restart and reseating the stick it works for a total of 10 seconds before breaking again

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            13 Aug 28 13:48 usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: /dev/serial/by-id: No such file or directory
#

Less than 10 seconds really. More like 5

#

Wait what

#

It's working again. What the hell is ongoing in this day

#

Not sure what happened but if this happens when I'm away from home it gonna be a problem 😦

#

Broke again lmao

native ether
#

Okay no idea what's going on here. I reflashed the whole OS, reflashed the stick, changed USB ports, but the USB connection keeps fucking up

uneven ruin
#

sounds like hardware to me. Is it on an extension cable? cable going bad?

native ether
#

It is but the cable is brand new. Also it detects it for a while then stops. Now I can't even restart HA from the UI but can use everything else

#

And the fact that it keeps coming up as

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: /dev/serial/by-id: No such file or directory

seems the issue is with the system finding the usb ports. However the Pi is booting from a usb ssd just fine.

#

This is after plugging the ZZH straight into the Pi. Still no change

#

Now it works again... I'm so confused...

#

There was zero physical changes between these commands

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            13 Aug 28 15:30 usb-1a86_USB_Serial-if00-port0 -> ../../ttyUSB0
➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: /dev/serial/by-id: No such file or directory
➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id

➜  ~ ls -l /dev/serial/by-id
ls: /dev/serial/by-id: No such file or directory
#

Welp. Turns out it might be the cable after all. How it broke without being touch I have no idea, but I'm using a keyboard passthrough now and everything works great

#

FWIW udev manages those /dev entries, so if a device is disconnecting/reconnecting things like /dev/serial/* may not be present. I'd rely on something like dmesg/lsusb and udevadm monitor -u to track it down.

I used to do Android platform level work. USB cables constantly went bad. I'd spend hours wonder what I screwed up just to remember cables need to be considered shortly after blaming myself 🙂

native ether
#

Thanks! I was wondering if there was a way to ping the port without constantly sending the command.

#

Well. That was a full 3 hours of sunday wasted on a broken cable lmao

#

Thanks guys for the sanity check on the cable

What would be the best way to use a Hue Dimmer with Z2M? I want smooth dimming for the group it controls. Zigbee binding does not work.

#

Currently using ControllerX to do it which works fairly well, but i've been told there is a better way to do with HA automations somehow - wonder if there's any truth to this at all

You never said you didn't know how to search, you said you couldn't find the pin

#

The first list has a convenient search box, I'm sure the second does too

mighty river
#

I didn't say I didn't know how to search because I do.

#

And I didn't say I couldn't find a pin, I said I didn't know which one you were referring to, because you did not specify, and the one you WERE referring to was not helpful.

#

The only item the search box shows is discontinued

If you don't know the answer to the question, you could simply not reply.

Is there a way to set colors with h,s values instead of x,y? I have Sylvania/Ledvance bulbs that are slightly off with xy color values. I'm on z2m/mosquitto/ha, all separate containers

#

If so, check if there are firmware updates available for your LEDVANCE device (https://update.ledvance.com/firmware-overview).
This issue was common in early firmware versions for LEDVACNE Zigbee 3.0 bulbs but was since fixed for some devices

sick escarp
#

hmm... z2m did find firmware for them, but only up to Jan 7 2019. on that site, the earliest is Feb 28, 2019. This is my particular device:

I'd like to migrate from Z2MQTT to ZHA simply due to simplicity and integration with HAOS. I've got one zigbee device that isn't support in ZHA: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Tuya_PJ-ZGD01.html
Can anyone point me towards how I can assist in building ZHA support? Might well be out of my depth but worth a look.

Hello Team! Since I moved to a new house and few days ago setuped my Home Assistant here and connected my Zigbee Coordinator, my 2.4Ghz WiFi is totally slow and dying. Pinging my router I can see 1200 ms, as soon I change to 5Ghz that is 4ms fix. I can reproduce anytime.

I can change these two things on my router WiFi settings. There is any hint how should I change that? Until now I tried channel 1 and channel 6, both is really bad.

I tried also to move away a few meter with the Coordinator and the Server, does not help. I'll install 15 Zigbee Light Switch soon, so that would totally kill my whole WiFI is that happened after installing 1 piece. Please help me.

Thank you!

sour shadow
#

Have you done a scan to see what WiFi channels are in use?

glad plume
#

Yes.

sour shadow
#

Secondly, for the love of all that's good, don't use 40 Mhz in the 2.4 GHz band

glad plume
#

there is only two wiFi in the area, mine and my neighbour, both channel 6.

sour shadow
#

Well, you shouldn't be using 6 if they are

#

Though your image says one...

glad plume
sour shadow
#

Then it's shit

glad plume
#

yes as I said I changed to one for a test.

#

I change mhz than fast.

sour shadow
#

Also, what Zigbee channel?

glad plume
#

I does not know how to check it. Im using Xiaomi Multimode Gateway with AlexxIT firmware.

sour shadow
#

Are you using it with ZHA (Zigbee Home Automation) or Zigbee2MQTT?

glad plume
#

ZHA sir!

sour shadow
#

Then it defaults to channel 15, which should be fine

glad plume
#

interesting, that is pretty bad that even if I choose channel 1 and channel 15 default on zigbee I have problems.

sour shadow
#

That gateway, is it WiFi only, or does it support wired networking?

glad plume
#

WiFI only sir!

sour shadow
glad plume
#

yes I know.

#

😄

sour shadow
#

So, you've bought a really shitty WiFi device, and a really shitty coordinator

glad plume
#

but I never change a working system

sour shadow
#

"Working"

glad plume
#

since 2 year without problem with any device in my old house.

sour shadow
glad plume
#

and now I changed only the house nothing else 😄

sour shadow
#

Well, start by ensuring that your WiFi device is only using 20 MHz, or set it to channel 6 so that it's not overlapping the Zigbee channel

glad plume
#

of course i'll buy better coordinator but until its working perfectly for me, same with the router. this is my first problem and this is also just settings based problem I think so.

sour shadow
#

The other option is to change your Zigbee channel to 25

@glad plume When using Discord's Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, which can get frustrating for the target. Use Shift + click on the Reply option, or click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

Command '~reply' was invoked by: Tinkerer
glad plume
#

but after Channel changing re-adding needed to ZHA as I know.

#

i'll try first 20mhz and channel 6.

sour shadow
#

Yes, if you change the channel you (currently) have to re-pair everything

glad plume
#

Thanks mate for the hints, I'll try all of them!

I am trying out tuya Zigbee relays to retrofit my house. They work as advertised but now the physical switch lose their directionality. They just toggle the lights. On and off positions don’t matter.

#

Are there any relays that can overcome this issue? Or is replacement of switches to toggle switches the only solution.

sour shadow
#

You want a momentary switch to replace them with

barren moat
#

Oh! So much for retrofitting!

sour shadow
#

Or just accept that the switches no longer directly map to the current light state

obsidian sandalBOT
mighty river
#

Hum, sorry I posted the error stack

#

You don't have two or three way light switches?

#

I mean, small children can handle if the light is off just flick the switch without worrying about whether things "match"

@jolly narwhal Why isn't RaspBee2 (Phoscon) with Zigbee Home Automation Integration great?

jolly narwhal
#

The ***bee chips are known to be meh

jaunty flame
#

okay, so which one would be better? Took me ages to install a suitable driver though 😄

jolly narwhal
#

Check the pins

#

I use tubes Poe coordinator

#

Great product

#

Anything cc2652 based is fine

#

With either zha or zigbee2mqtt

#

I recommend the latter

jaunty flame
#

ouh, quite expensive

jolly narwhal
#

Sonoff 3.0 is the cheaper option

#

But frankly, when I have 80+ bulbs and 40+ sensors, the cost of the coordinator is miniscule

jaunty flame
#

yeah thats right.

#

As I would prefer not buying anything new (for the moment), would be switching from ZHA integration to deCONZ an option to get it work more stable?

jolly narwhal
#

I've only run with cc1352/2652 and zigbee2mqtt

#

I have never had issues

jaunty flame
jolly narwhal
#

I don't use those, so I never have that problem

jaunty flame
#

haha alright 😄 I will try and keep you updated!

jaunty flame

#

I run everything on different containers on two different hosts

Alright - I will first try running as an addon

I'm trying to listen to events to see if that part is working, I'm in the events page of developer tools, listening to deconz_event

but I don't know where I can see those events, are they in the log? I don't really understand how the listen to events functionality actually works

sour shadow
#

They'd appear there, in the UI

#

You can try listening to another event there and see what happens

Good news anyone using Aqara motion sensors ( RTCGQ11LM )
I found a way to make them detect a new motion down to 2 seconds without any hardware modification.
I don't know if I should talk about it here or on the forum to make a lot more people aware.

sour shadow
#

Why not both?

radiant steppe
#

Yep you're right:

  • your device is paired with z2m
  • change the occupancy_timeout to 2 seconds (1 seconds is buggy)
  • this device should not accept values under 60s (indeed, it's not)
  • reset the devices and then remove it from z2m
  • pair it again
  • now the device accept 2 seconds as a good value

It seems like this aqara device only accept config under 60 seconds when the pairing config is sent

#

tested it on another device with same model: 1second is buggy and spam true/ false
2 seconds is perfect

tropic depot
#

and i'd guess the hardware is not triggering at 2s

#

unless you modded it

jolly narwhal
#

I was surprised at how well the hardware mod worked

#

Didn't affect battery life too much either

radiant steppe
#

After 1h, the min detection of 2seconds doesn't work anymore wtf.

radiant steppe
austere patio
#

If you just joined the device I believe it does do fast reporting for a little bit but without the hardware mod they always send a "motion detected" event at most once every ~65s
