Is there a list of active bindings somewhere?

upper shoal
#

Oh, actually the binding did work! I just don't see anywhere in the GUI that it's active. I've disabled the switch automation and the on/off control is still working via binding. Now the 3 bulbs are in perfect sync and there's a bit less lag.

#

I don't know how I got it to work though, and now I can't unbind it

#

Ok I think I figured it out. To bind a switch to a group, you have to check the box for Groups, not OnOff

#

can you use a hue dimmer remote to connect to a zibgee receiver?

Just getting my HA setup with zigbee2mqtt tonight. I added a smartthings button to Z2M and its not exposing a button action. I see Battery % and Temperature in Z2M and HA, but cant automate based on the button presses. Exposes -> Action is N/A in Z2M. how do i troubleshoot this?

#

hi

#

device TuYa model TS004F, does not display all the functions of the buttons, for example, there is no long press, what to do ?

violet dagger
#

What manufacturer id and which integration?

#

I added one directly to the coordinator rather than via a repeater about 25 hours ago and it still seems to be connected

Hello! I just bought a zigbee gateway (ConBee II) and some Aeotec SmartThings Water Leak Sensors. I have the ZHA instegration installed, and HA sees the ConBee II, but when I try to add the leak sensors, they are not found. The sensors are definitely in pairing mode. I don't see anything relevant in the logs. Anything I can do to get these things added?

austere patio
arctic furnace
#

no, plugged directly into a usb 3 port

austere patio
#

That would be your problem

#

The Conbee's range is severely reduced by USB 3.0 ports, especially when it's plugged straight into one

arctic furnace
#

why would that cause a problem?

#

if it's a range issue, I tried pairing literally 1 foot away from the usb stick

austere patio
#

If the coordinator detects too much RF interference, it will refuse to send packets. It's not something you can solve by getting closer.

arctic furnace
#

ok, so if I use a usb 2.0 extension, that should help? (not sure if I have any usb 2.0 ports on this system

austere patio
#

As long as the cable is 2.0 it's fine

arctic furnace
#

ok, I'll try that now

arctic furnace
#

welp, you were 100% right. USB 2.0 cable fixed my problem. Thanks @austere patio!

Hi! I am getting really frustrated by this weird problem. I am currently rebuilding my network from scratch. I have a couple of Tradfri bulbs which acted previously as router/repeater and they all worked fine. Previously, I have changed the default power on state of the bulbs to OFF. Now, I can't add them anymore to Zigbee2MQTT. I have tried the usual 6 times on/off sequence but this doesn't seem to work. How can I initiate the pairing process?

strong matrix
#

It seems like that once the default "power off" behavior has been changed to OFF, i.e. the bulb stays off after a power failure, the bulb cannot be paired anymore by using the six on/off sequences.

austere patio
#

When you're saying "rebuilding from scratch", how are you doing this?

#

Did you form a new network or are you just re-joining every device back to the same network?

strong matrix
#

@austere patio It is a completely new Home Assistant installation

austere patio
#

If you didn't change the Z2M configuration, it will still be using the same network settings as it was when you previously had it set up

#

The defaults

#

I've found the Tradfri bulbs don't like to reset very easily when their original network is still up and running

strong matrix
#

@austere patioThanks for the hint. I try to disconnect the other bulbs from power

#

Great tip. Wish me luck.

opal trail
#

I'm having zigbee range issues as I only have 1 router as a powered device. I have an extra cc2652p slzb-02 adapter that I want to use as a repeater, but I'm not sure how to configure it to be a repeater and powered by my windows desktop- does anyone have any pointers or docs they can point me towards?

strong matrix
#

@austere patio OK, I have disconnected all bulbs but one. Then I tried to initiate the pairing sequence but it didn't work.

#

Pairing a new, never used (fresh out of the original box) works fine.

austere patio
#

You just have to have the timing correct. Leave it off for five seconds then turn it on/off every 0.5s six times. If you're too slow or too fast, it doesn't work.

strong matrix
#

Now I am not sure if the problem is caused by setting "default power on" to OFF or by the fact that the bulb has been previously paired to another Zigbee network.

#

@austere patio Maybe the solution is to buy an Ikea remote, pair it with the lamp, turn the lamp on, and then start the 6x on/off sequences

rapid flume
#

Picked up some hue lights out of curiosity and WOW the dimming range on these

#

That's actually a frustration of mine, nobody lists a "dimming range" or "minimum lux", the spec sheet lists the output at 100% and the dimming isn't specced at all, on most bulbs it's like, why did they bother, save a few cents and leave out the PWM circuitry, it's useless

grim igloo
#

Mine are the same.. disappointing

rapid flume
#

Tunable, 2200-6500

grim igloo
#

But not rgbw?

rapid flume
#

yeah not RGB

#

I'm actually very very impressed with the dimming range of these

grim igloo
#

Apparently those are better but they’re extremely overpriced

#

Oh I thought you meant it’s bad

rapid flume
#

These are their new ZB+BT combo bulbs

grim igloo
#

I see

#

Their old candelabras that do color temp are really bad with low brightness

rapid flume
#

paired with ZHA perfectly, no fiddling

grim igloo
#

I like their recessed can color temp white leds

rapid flume
#

$50 for a pair at the big yellow ticket store. Box says model "9290024683"

grim igloo
#

Cool

rapid flume
#

I think RGB bulbs are an overpriced novelty, but tunable white is useful for circadian influence

grim igloo
#

Depends on the tech

#

You can get rgbw cct Wi-Fi bulbs for $10-15 flashed with wled or tasmota and they’re great

#

But 50 Wi-Fi bulbs in a house…

#

I’ve got a couple gu10 athom rgbw bulbs flashed with wled in a bathroom and they’re amazing and like $11 each..

rapid flume
#

I go out of my way to avoid anything that requires device<->cloud<->controller

grim igloo
#

No cloud lol

#

Direct integration with hass

rapid flume
#

to their credit, even the Hue direct control app communicates locally over BLE

#

they only do the cloud thing when connecting to the bridge from outside the house

grim igloo
#

And for HomeKit etc

rapid flume
#

I refuse to buy wifi smart devices that are too low bandwidth to justify it

#

Like, camera? Sure. Smart bulb? Hard no.

grim igloo
#

Other way around lol

#

Wi-Fi cameras aren’t good

rapid flume
#

I mean, the ideal would be PoE

#

but that's expensive on multiple levels

#

I'm tempted to deck out my whole house with these

#

oh hell yes. What is 1% on every other bulb I've tried is around 25% on these

tall pike
rapid flume
#

speaking of remotes... I'm open to ideas for "physical" controls that are ultimately just buttons to attach automations to

tall pike
#

I swear by the IKEA tradfri remotes, so much so that I have them everywhere that people normally expect a physical switch. Cheap and good and portable. And with blueprints, you get up to 4 types of press events per button.

#

Rewired my physical switches to be level to the tops of the doors, for dumb failsafes and for maintenance. Then tradfri remotes everywhere at chest level for control of all devices.

grim igloo
#

that is weird lol

rapid flume
tall pike
#

Haha I don't plan to ever sell the house 😉

grim igloo
#

3d printing a case over the switches or something prob would've been cleaner

tall pike
#

Yes, that is an option too if you already happen to have a 3d printer.

rapid flume
#

one issue I've noticed, Hass seems to sometimes lose track of what color temp the bulb actually is

#

like, transitions involving color temp, or changing the color temp while it's off, can cause a bit of a desync

hi, i have a sonoff zigbee dongle along with aqara door sensors. using ZHA. everything was working great and now suddenly the range has decreased drastically. i could easily use it with sensors on the other side of the house and now it only detects sensors in the same room roughly.

anyone have an idea what could be going on? I havent flashed the sonoff's firmware, should I?

#

no range extenders- ive only ever used it with 3 sensors and theyve all been in the same place throughout

rapid flume
#

How far off is your nearest neighbor? And have you added or reconfigured any other 2.4Ghz equipment recently?

#

my immediate thought is something new is competing with your network for that particular frequency

slate kestrel
#

SLV Germany, dont know the exact model

#

Anyone else have experiences in lost of connectivity? Randomly.
I thought it would be because I'm using conbee2 over z2m but now that I have migrated to sonoff dongle plus the problem is the same LQI are good. So what cane it be?

slate kestrel
pearl girder
#

Hm, I'm having issues pairing the Gledopto GL-SD-001 dimmer to ZHA. I see the device goes into 'pairing mode' since it blinks the lights, but it never appears in ZHA or its logs

#

Following this guide on pairing

#

Guess I'll have to try doing it via z2mqtt

#

Ok, it paired with my Ikea Tradfri gate...

#

Interesting.

#

Guess it might be this since I'm using a C2652P dongle

slate kestrel
#

Could the network get better with a supplementary router module that one does routing? 🤔 Even if I got a lot of routers in my network? 🤔

molten linden
#

check for interference.

slate kestrel
#

I checked for interferences it's all okay got a avarage LQI of 200

silver sierra
#

Is it possible to send cluster commands through the hue integration?

slate leaf
#

Does anyone here know a Zigbee TRV which is capable to expose opening level?

fair mountain
#

Anyone know of a Decora style wall switch (that is CSA/CUL listed) that doesn't have a relay and just binds to a Zigbee light group?

#

I know I can spend $70 on a Leviton switch and get that behaviour, but ...

silver sierra
fair mountain
#

and like 10 Decora Zigbee switches from Leviton

#

I am pairing them with Hue lights, I do not have enough room in the boxes for Hue relays

silver sierra
#

Are you just looking for a remote that looks like a decora switch or an actual dimmer?

fair mountain
#

An actual dimmer or on/off that I can use for scenes.

#

just tired of having a bunch of extra switches taped to the wall.

#

if theres no solution i guess I can just buy more leviton switches, and hardwire the Hue lights to always be on.

silver sierra
#

I use pico remotes tied through a blueprint for my zigbee lights. Inovelli blue dimmers have a smart bulb mode that locks the power on but still sends Zigbee signals to lights to control them.

molten linden
#

if you have the patience the innovelli switches look good. they also already contributed quirks/converters for them and have added an OTA server for firmware update. plus they are a small company and seem to be transparent and about making good stuff (Not affiliated).

#

I know the initial batch of pre-orders sold out, they are about to ship within a month or so (manufacturing is complete), I believe they said another order has already been placed with the manufacturer.

fair mountain
#

I can do this with the Leviton, by unbinding the switch from itself, but if there is a power outage.. I need to rebind the switch ..

#

hrm no CSA

#

and E528330 doesn't exist in the UL certification DB

#

lol. nice.

molten linden
#

search the thread there is talk about the UL, they were inspected during manufacturing, and got prelim approval I think, final report may not be out yet.

fair mountain
#

can'ts ee if they have canadian approval then, sadness

#

i'll wait. seems like they would fit the bill for me.

#

exciting.

molten linden
#

I know they said they are shipping to Canada. 🤷🏼‍♂️

#

Is it possible to use the new ZHA backup to import into Z2M?

molten linden
#

yes, but z2m won't know about the device, zha and z2m keep track of them differently. some may show up if you permit joins and power cycle routers. but you'll still end up having to re-pair stuff so z2m can do a full interview/know about them

upbeat pecan
#

Ah, that's a bummer. Well I'm glad I don't have too many devices yet.

#

When I re-pair a device to Z2M, if I keep the same name, will any automations with that device still work, or will I need to redo those too?

grim igloo
molten linden
#

z2m/zha don't control the routes, the coordinator and routers do, you can keep the same network config for both.

grim igloo
#

i see

fair mountain
#

Well, you've twisted my arm to try one, @molten linden 🙂

molten linden
#

I don't even get any kickbacks.

fair mountain
#

lol.

#

I know you shill your own stuff :p

#

$85.55 CAD with shipping for 1 switch. lol.

molten linden
#

I try not to do that here, word of mouth, being responsive and helpful is all I try to do

fair mountain
#

Not that much more expensive than the Leviton.

grim igloo
fair mountain
#

lol

#

ty so much. @silver sierra as well 🙂

#

the "Smart bulb mode" is exactly what I'm lookign for.

grim igloo
fair mountain
#

ah.

#

I use the switches as routers 🙂

grim igloo
#

im sure there's a bit more delay but it's pretty quick

fair mountain
#

I have like 15 leviton zigbee switches, ~100 hue bulbs

grim igloo
#

i just use hue bulbs as routers

fair mountain
#

hehe.

#

I have a zigbee mesh that extends all the way to my detached garage 😄

#

and hte front of the house

#

I guess nothing is stopping me from hardwiring the Leviton switches to have the Hot on for the bulbs, so I don't waste the switches I already have eh

#

and detaching the relay

#

Which would be the same behaviour as the ones I just preordered ..

#

and Leviton supports 2 wires under a single lug as per the installation, which means I am following CEC

fair mountain
#

From a performance perspective: Is it better for me to create a Zigbee group in ZHA, and then bind the group to the switch, or is it better for me to bind each individual bulb to the switch?

silver sierra
#

From a performance perspective, I've always found that a group is better if at all possible. All of the devices will trigger at the same time as well. All of the bulbs in my living room are a group controlled by a pico remote. If they ever fail to trigger, they all fail together as well. That said, I don't tend to get a failed trigger unless Adaptive Lighting is in the middle of a transition. Does anyone have advice on that one?

upbeat pecan
#

Is it normal to keep getting this error every time I make a config change to Z2M? Configuration is not consistent with adapter state/backup

#

I reverted the one config change I made and I'm still getting this.

#

Fortunately I haven't gotten any devices configured yet, but this seems like it's going to be worthless if I ever want to change a config after setting up devices.

What is the usual transmit power for battery powered devices? I want to hack an ikea tradfri on/off remote to detect mail delivery in my post box. The manual states the transmit power is 3 dBm. Is that a normal number or on the low side?

#

Range should be 10m according to the manual, not sure if that will go through walls

There is no universal normal, though a claimed range of 10 meters seems about right

Is there anyway to upgrade firmware on hue products through HA or do I have to connect it to the hue hub first? I’m using z2m if that matters.

#

I have two outdoor hue motion sensors on HA that are amazing when they work but for some reason they randomly stop updating from time to time. Sometimes resetting them fixes the problem but not always. Anyone know why this may be happening? One of them is brand new.

Hi, I am currently thinking of switching from Philips Hue to the Sonoff USB hub for zigbee devices so I can use other Zigbee devices as well. I was looking at the sonoff ZBMINI wall switch, does anybody have experience with this switch in Home Assistant. I already have Hue lights everywhere and I want te keep them on, but use my wall switches to control my hue lights as well. Is it possible to use the Sonoff switch to always keep the light on, but turn the designated Hue lights off when I press it

#

I know there is a hue switch for that, but that one is far more expensive

sour shadow
#

It's worth searching the post history for people's experiences

tight pivot
#

which post?

sour shadow
#

In the top right you'll find a Search box to search all the posts

tight pivot
#

Ah you mean the channel history, I thought you meant there already was a post about it on the forum or something

#

You are saying it's junk? in what way?

sour shadow
#

I'm saying that people have already posted their experiences

#

You can use those existing posts now, while waiting to see if anybody will respond to your particular question

molten linden
#

you can mod a aqara contact sensor (or really any magnetic reed sensor) and wire it up to a switch, and then hard wire or put the sonoff mini behind it to be able to still control the load if needed.

#

^this basically does what the hue in wall switch does.

dawn holly
#

anyone know what the crap i did wrong? Tried to add a sonooff motion sensor. Did the zigbee scan for new devices after putting it in pair, it sees it, freezes on starting interview. Refresh, restart, try as I might, I can't get it to see it again, doesn't show up anywhere, etc. Thanks

sour shadow
#

ZHA? Zigbee2MQTT? deCONZ? Something else?

fair mountain
#

i guess I can't add a second coordinator to ZHA yet?

violet dagger
#

correct

fair mountain
#

are my only options z2m if I want multiple coordinators?

sour shadow
#

Technically there's also deCONZ

fair mountain
#

Too bad I can't just migrate from ZHA to z2m.

#

I'm just adding another 30 or 40 zigbee devices and already starting to experience performance issues

#

with my SONOFF zigbee 3.0 dongle

molten linden
#

how many total do you have? there are folks with cc2652 and 200 devices with no issues.

fair mountain
#

I'm at 136 devices right now

#

I have my sonoff dongle on a USB extension, as far away from any motor loads as possible, not near any APs, accessed via ser2net on an RPi.

molten linden
#

you should be able to add more, and performance fine

fair mountain
#

and I followed the advice to check for interference here.

#

and all my zigbee devices are 100% mains powered now

molten linden
#

I believe you.

fair mountain
#

but I still get issues with lights not turning off or on

#

the lights turning off is an adaptive lighting issue, ive worked around that.

molten linden
#

maybe it's the "sonoff" build quality 🤷🏼‍♂️ something just seems off.

fair mountain
#

heh.

sour shadow
#

I've got ~70 on my Sonoff P and no issues

Make sure to also work out which version of the dongle you have

#

Sonoff annoying made a second version with a whole different chip inside

sour shadow
#

They've made at least 5 different dongles so far, maybe more

dawn holly
#

HA is acting like it has already seen this motion sensor in a way - I don't know how to unscrew up whatever it happening that makes it hang on "starting interview"

sour shadow
#

Just keep pushing the pair button to keep it awake

dawn holly
#

so this one blinks after holding it for 5 seconds

#

should i keep pushing it, keep holding it, hold for 5 seconds and repeat, etc

sour shadow
#

Right, and let it go, then tap it every 5 seconds or so until the interview completes

dawn holly
#

because, I have to tell you I've done all that and it still craps out

#

now I'm trying to remember what I had to do to even get it to show up as interviewing the second time

I finally got around to taking my sonoff / itead zigbee stick out of the box. plugged it into one usb port with the old conbee2 in another port, hit the migrate button, and a few clicks later, the conbee is pulled and tossed into the cruft bin, all zigbee lights just keep on working (but with less errors)

#

ZHA makes things too easy

brave nacelle
#

zigbee is definitely the way to go imho

#

i bought $100's worth of bulbs, $300 fan, etc. wifi thinking zigbee wasn't do-able

#

i'll never go wifi if there's even a hacky zigbee way (in-line manual controller installation or something)

#

now i have a $300 wifi fan i don't even want because it's not zigbee and talks to the cloud lol

#

i'm going to have to see if amazon will take it back still

#

seems they won't 😦

Hello there! Newcomer here.

#

Where can I ask for new device support?

austere patio
#

You would file an issue in the GitHub issue tracker for the specific integration you're using

surreal sinew
#

yes

#

thanks

#

Seems there's a request ( issue ) about this device. I will follow the issue and try to add info if needed. Thanks a lot.

Which device?

Bluetooth proxy is for sensors only, the other work enables people to build those integrations to connect your random Bluetooth devices to HA

Is there a resource to confirm if a given devices supports binding? I've been trying to bind a Aqara WXKG11LM to a Phillips Hue bulb to no avail.

Hi! My zigbee2mqtt that used to work fine stopped working and I'm getting Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-09-23 11:16:21: Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms). I do have a CC2531 which seems to be considered outdated, but it was working just fine up until a few days ago. Does anyone know a fix? I really don't want to buy a newer stick when my home assistant yellow ships in a few weeks

sour shadow
#

Disconnect the stick, wait 30 seconds, connect it again

potent dock
#

I even restarted the raspberry

sour shadow
#

Try re-flashing the stick then

#

Oh, and restarting the Pi won't have the same result as disconnecting the stick

#

Restarting the Pi leaves the stick powered, and you need to completely power it down to clear it

#

The CC2531 have a couple of well known, very common, fault states:

  1. Locks up and needs power cycled/reset
  2. Corrupts and needs reflashed

I'll try those

hi, has anyone experience with a Zigbee Thermostat radiator valve like a BSEED TV-02 ZG ?

remote patio
#

so I just realised that I'm still running the OLD z2m addon which topped out at v1.18.1-1.. Are there any breaking changes I should be aware of in particular between that old version (and addon) and the current official one? It's a bit hard to parse a change that big

sour shadow
#

There's generally no breaking changes with Z2M

#

That said, yours is old enough that if you've got a very old CC2652 based coordinator you may have to also update the coordinator and then remove and re-pair all the router devices

#

You'll know if that's the case if you can no longer pair any device via a router

remote patio
#

I think I actually HAVE updated the firmware at some point in that period.. but not sure how to actually check the current firmware.. I've actually forgotten what the controller is... something electro? a lama?

I have Ikea on/off switches which were initially automatically bound to all my Xiaomi smart power sockets..

Hey all! I'm having a problem with a Zigbee device, I hope this is the right place to ask.
I have this smart plug here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002344798281.html, and I've used it for a some days without it being connected to a Zigbee gateway at all (it was on the way) and it worked completely fine.
However, yesterday my Zigbee USB thingamabob (https://www.ebay.it/itm/385019725067) arrived, and I've only then connected the smart plug to my computer running HA using said USB dongle.
Here's the thing: the plug keeps turning off at random intervals. I have no clue why. It didn't ever do this while not being connected to HA.
I've tried disabling it, hiding it or showing it, but it just turns off at random. Any idea of what the issue could be?

#

I need the plug to be on 24/7 since I use it just to monitor how much the server that runs HA itself consumes

#

Another weird thing is that when I check the logbook and filter by the device's power switch entity it has no logs at all

old kernel
#

That sounds maddening

#

(sorry i don't have any solutions, besides just try unpairing and hard resetting the device, see if it stays on, pair it again, see if it stays on)

rapid shore
#

I'm having a hard time understanding how to hard reset the device. I've checked the instructions sheet and the listing on Aliexpress but neither mentions it. Is there some common way for these smart socket things or should I ask the seller?

Is there a way to tell if a light bulb is turned off from the switch when connected directly to the hub? Philips hue bulbs go to Unavailable when the light is turned off at the mains, but the ones I have connected directly to the hub don't so it looks like I have lights left on if that makes sense.

violet dagger
#

where are the other bulbs connected?

#

it might be the case of hue hub not reporting availability to the hue integration

I trie to connect this thing to Z2mqtt, stays unsupported. What to do?

#

Thinking about moving to ZHA as well.

violet dagger
#

which model id is it reporting?

sour shadow
low gale
#

A bulb paired via philips hue goes offline when the switch is turned off. A bulb paired directly to a zigbee hub via ZHA doesn't so it looks like the light is still switched on. Is that the behavior others see too?

sour shadow
#

ZHA should support availability so that it reports that, but unless that's a Sengled Zigbee bulb you're breaking your mesh

low gale
#

no, it's a philips hue bulb paired directly, but when it's turned off at the switch its still showing as turned on in homeassistant. driving me nuts 🙂

#

however.... last seen is being updated?!

#

but the device definitely doesn't have power and can't be controlled

#

Right, I've unplugged it. NO WAY IT CAN BE ON NOW!

When you turn off power to the bulb nothing can route through it, breaking your mesh

current_file_version=77. OTA file version is also 77. So the exact firmware is already installed on your device

The OTA images are read on startup (and then I think every 12 hours or something like that)

rapid shore
#

That's kind of bad news for me though. The seller mentioned that the USB stick I'm using and the smart plug are not fully compatible (I have a problem with the plug shutting off at random intervals when it's connected to HomeAssistant), is such thing possible or are they just trying to get me to buy their product?

mellow geode
#

What coordinator/stick are you using?

rapid shore
mellow geode
#

That should fully work

#

Is anything else in the HA logbook when the plug shuts off? (For example, some IKEA remote triggering something?)

#

Like, does anything happen on your network when the plug shuts off? (Some remotes can sometimes "randomly" control other switches)

#

Also, can you turn it back on using HA when the plug shuts off or does the plug "freeze" and needs to be power-cycled?

mellow geode
rapid shore
#

Maybe it's possible that when it shut off earlier it actually did upgrade, and I just didn't notice. How much time would it take in average?

#

In any case, I should probably keep log levels to debug and see the logs next time it crashes (hoping it does not!)

mellow geode
#

I'd just test the plug with nothing plugged in at all. If it turns off then, you can see if anything else happened at the same time in your HA logbook (and you can also rule out it's some kind of "overload protection" on the plug)

rapid shore
#

Great idea. I'll try this first. Thank you a lot for your help 🙂

Make sure you didn't accidentally enable ZHA aka Zigbee Home Automation - look in the integrations page of your HA install

Is there a way to get ZHA listed in the Sidebar?

It has Zigbee Home Automation as the sub-heading, and the name of the stick as the integration name

Because, that's not confusing as hell

Maybe try a restart of HA and check the Hardware page

Interesting it isn’t showing up when I click all hardware. Unfortunately I had to go to some kids birthday party, the surprise is supposed to be for the kid not me. So I’ll dig into the unraid side of things to see why it isn’t getting passed through.

Any recommendations on a zigbee coordinator? Oringinally I was using the sonoff zigbee bridge flashed with tasmota. I was getting a lot of devices dropping off the network so I added a couple of ikea zigbee repeaters to the network. This helped a little. Next I swapped the coordinator with a sonoff zigbee dongle E. This has helped a lot with some devices staying connected (they are within range of the coordinator). Those that are connected via a repeater (sonoff Door and window sensors) keep dropping off. I can't get any aqara devices (vibration and button switches) to connect to the network (with dongle e).

OK, so I picked up a nordic zigbee dongle, flashed the sniffer firmware and installed the wireshark extension. What are the next steps for finding the encryption key and changing coordinators? This is ZHA xbee to Ti

molten linden
#

if you download a backup the key will be in there

graceful elm
#

Ok, from talking to puddly, he indicated with xbee, it wouldn't be

#

trying now

molten linden
#

ah yea I was just wondering that

#

you could enable sniffing on your channel (15 if default zha) then join a device, that should show the key in the sniff

graceful elm
#

Ahh, I was wondering if I needed to join a device

#

I'll try that and see what happens

#

assuming it will join, I may have waited too long, I think the xbee may have given up

graceful elm
#

That worked, have to add the Zigbee Alliance key to wireshark, and then look for a packet titled "Transport Key" during the join, adding that to wireshark allowed me to see all the traffic

#

So now I just backup the network, edit the resulting file by replacing the network key and then restore to the new coordinator?

delicate ginkgo
#

hi friends, I have a question regarding resetting my entire zigbee network (using zigbe2mqtt). to my regret I've installed all my 50ish devices into the "default" network with default key etc. I recently moved to a different house and I'd like to use this opportunity to set up a new network from scratch using a generated key. now before I do this, is there anything I can/should do or prepare? repairing devices will require moving close to the antenna, right? can I prep the devices so this won't be required? taking a step back; do you reckon this is even worth doing?

austere patio
#

It's not used by all devices but the ones that validate it don't like it to roll back

#

For messages leaving the coordinator, in Wireshark there should be a security item that shows its value

graceful elm
#

Well, too late for that

#

just got done, see how many of my devices enforced it, lol

austere patio
#

You can always restore again, it's normal for it to increase

#

If you find a packet leaving 0x0000, it's under ZigBee Network Layer Data > ZigBee Security Header > Frame Counter. Unless you saved the previous key in Wireshark's database, you won't be able to decrypt traffic after restarting (since Wireshark pulls keys from previously-seen packets).

#

I also never used the XBee so the incomplete network backup should work but no guarantees 😆. If you want to be 100% positive, use the data from the beacons sent by the coordinator and other devices before your new device joined. Those will contain the basic network info.

graceful elm
#

the frame counter, is that the tx or rx?

austere patio
#

TX

#

You should be able to receive sensor updates even with an invalid frame counter so if that's not working something may be up with the PAN ID or the EPID (reversed byte order, for example)

graceful elm
#

I'm seeing updates, then the coordinator crashed

austere patio
#

Crashed?

graceful elm
#

Or ZHA did

#

Not certain, logs went blank and stopped seeing anything

#

no errors, just unresponsive

#

frame counter goes under tc link?

austere patio
#

Even if the coordinator crashes you'll see watchdog timeouts pretty quickly

#

network_key

graceful elm
#

So, the coordinator swap was a failure, when I loaded the backup, it would accept it and look like it was running, would see traffic in the logs and wireshark, but would stop communicating with the coordinator after a few minutes. Starting a new network and manually joining works though.

I totally understand. Sorry the migration didn't work out, I must have made some mistake in reading the network settings from the XBee...

graceful elm

Oh no worries, more likely I made a mistake somewhere, it happens, appreciate you helping me through it, at least I can sniff packets on the network now, that will be helpful going forward

Hey... trying to add some sensors to my Zigbee2MQTT, and... I've tried 2 different sensors, and both have failed the same way. Is there a limit to how many zigbee devices can be linked?

#

I've got the sonoff ZigBee 3.0 usb dongle plus using z2m... seems like it should support 18 devices... no?

Hello! I have a home assistant install and a conbee II. The conbee is very 'flaky'. Doesn't always work and sometimes have to restart to get it to work. Since yesterday it says 'Failed to setup'. I changed USB ports a few times and then it suddenly worked again, but only to read data from zigbee devices, it no longer let me make changes. I restarted it again and now it's back to 'failed to setup'.

I installed the ssh add-on, and the Conbee II is listed in the 'ha hardware info' list.

I'm curious if there's some troubleshooting i can do, if this is common with the conbee II. I'm a linux nerd so comfortable getting my hands dirty. Thanks for providing a great piece of software, I jumped ship after mozilla lost interest in Firefox Webthings

Hey there everyone! I was wondering if anyone of you knew why all my Philips Hue lights that are ON while my Home Assistant instance is down for a while all start flashing different paterns forever. Is this a feature of Philips Hue to indicate the coordinator is down? When it’s been a while Home Assistant is down, the coordinator just kind of fail and ZHA need at least 5 minutes to reset it.

Does anyone in their HA setup use these types of remote https://aliexpress.com/item/1005002872683331.html (the first one that comes up with the link)

If so, how are you currently making use of the device, since HA doesn't recognize it as a remote/switch or any entities, just says "4 Gang ZigBee Remote (unsupported)"

Right now I let them trigger a virtual device in the Tuya app, since HA can read the virtual devices, but not the remote itself. This isn't the way I would like it to be, but getting a bunch of stuff/hacking my zigbee hub for zha or zigbee2mqtt is cumbersome if I won't know if will work.

So I just bought a 2pack of Innr bulbs (e14 smart candle comfort) with warm and cool light and just set them up with ZHA one of them is working beautifully and the other one setup but shows as an rgb bulb, now I cant control the bulbs temperature since I can only see the color wheel. What can I do?

I have a light fixture defined in a ZHA group containing 4 individual Sengled bulbs. I can control it just fine using the group name. I'd like to be able to control one of those bulbs individually sometimes. I discovered that I can create a new group containing that one bulb, but that I don't seem to be able to access that group from anywhere (for example in an automation to control it).
Is having a single Zigbee device in multiple groups supported?

tropic depot
#

just use the bulb entity

#

you don't need another group

#

if you insist on needlessly using multicast traffic you can use the service to issue the raw ZCL commands to the group

fading briar
#

I've tried that. I think there may be a conflict with AdaptiveLighting that's causing it to adjust all of them when I only want one bulb on.

tropic depot
#

?

fading briar
#

If you're referring to "needless multicast traffic", I'm still using the group setup you walked me through several days back.

#

If I remove the bulbs from AL's config, I get my one bulb controlled as expected. When I add them back in, they all come on even when I'm trying to control just one.

tropic depot
#

right... a single light in a group is not an efficient use of multicast traffic

#

when you can just use the regular light entity

fading briar

This sounds like an AL issue and I'll work through it on their support page.

#

Anyone know what might prevent a Zigbee device from being discovered, when the device indicates it's in pairing mode?

lilac wharf
#
  1. zigbee software is not also in pairing mode
  2. new zigbee device is out of range of a zigbee router or the coordinator
  3. you've chosen to pair via a specific router and the device is out of range of that router
  4. you're using zigbee2mqtt and are experiencing the issue of pairing devices outside of the range of the coordinator that has a seemingly unknown cause

#

Hmm, I'm using ZHA, both devices are in pairing mode, the devices are within 6-7 metres of each other, so should definitely be close enough

#

I've had the device in HA before, so I'm wondering if it still thinks it's paired or something, and isn't discovering it because of that? But it's ID doesn't even show up in the logs

I just migrated my ZHA setup from a HUSBZB stick to a Sonoff sick using the "Migrate Radio" option in ZHA. However I'm now unable to add anything to ZHA. I'll put a device in pairing mode and after 10-15 seconds, it exits pairing mode (the LED indicator stops blinking), but ZHA doesn't pick up any device.

#

When I was doing the migration, I saw an error indicating that I should remove the antenna because of possible interference, which I did and that allowed the migration to complete. I just did that now again and now I can add devices again. Any idea why the antenna would somehow be causing more interference?

#

I have an Anker 4 port hub plugged into a USB2 port on my Pi

#

And it looks like I spoke too soon, because the one device I just tried connecting got stuck at the "Starting Interview" stage

mellow geode
#

Do you also have a SSD attached to your PI?

#

If that's attached via USB 3.0, it can cause "massive interference".

upbeat pecan
#

Not exactly. I have an Argon case that's using an M2 SSD

mellow geode
#

If it's not attached via USB 3.0 somehow, it should be fine

#

In general, it's recommended to put your Zigbee coordinator on a USB 2.0 extension cord.
Some coordinators are more susceptible to interference than others.

upbeat pecan
#

Currently the Anker hub is the only thing plugged directly into the Pi and the only two things plugged into the hub are he HUSBZB and the Sonoff

#

Are both sticks right next to each other?

upbeat pecan
#

They're in spots 1 and 3 respectively of the hub.

#

Try putting the Sonoff stick on a USB extension if you have one. I'm not sure how the HUSBZB works but perhaps the Zigbee part is still somewhat active and messes up the Sonoff stick

upbeat pecan
#

I do have another Anker hub. I'll try plugging that in and having each one on a separate hub.

#

Do I need to stop HA while I move the Sonoff? Or can I do that while everything is running?

a cool trick I've learned is if you hit migrate, it will first prompt to stop zha. you can then just cancel out and it will restart.

if you wanna restart just zha you can just reload the integration

hi everyone, having a weird issue hoping someone can help. When i expose a ZHA/zigbee light group to homekit, i do not get any color or diming controls in homekit. if i create a helper entity (light group containing said zha group), same thing, only an on/off toggle switch like this https://imgur.com/a/R0L6SB5

and the individual lights do have the controls?

yes they are all hue color lights with color controls, everything works perfectly through HA - i can dim, i can change color etc. but in homekit, it only presents as an on/off switch

the Zigbee group, OR even the helper light group i created

Hi. I have the zzh dongle and that works e.g. for controlling the Philips Hue light and I can read the Frient energy meter values nicely. But I'm having issues with Philips Hue Tap Dial Switch. I can pair it, but every time I press a button, I get "Unknown cluster command" from zigpy.zcl in the logs. The error print comes from this line:

It's sending cluster commands over cluster 64512/0xfc00, which is in the manufacturer-specific range

Same device and same firmware, but one works? Strange. Have you tried reconfiguring the device while clicking buttons? Perhaps it starts behaving differently once binds/reporting is established.

tube, where do those listened events gets printed? On that page or to the log?

#

reconfiguring fails at least when I keep hitting the button. I see green for PowerConfiguration and ManufacturerSpecificCluster but fail for OnOff, LevelControl, Scenes

#

and I think I see this in the logs during the reconfiguration:

#

Try it a few more times

stuck otter
#

Can I somehow use the setup-button next to the battery to make it be more "awake" during the configuration? I'm doing a factory reset by pressing it for 20 seconds and during that time it blinks the led in many different ways

#

I got also the LevelControl to green by pressing it once after I started the reconfigure from the UI, but still the OnOff and Scenes are red

mellow geode
#

Not sure if the new Hue Tap Dial Switch still works this way, but other Philips remotes have the the manufacturer attribute 0x0031 on the Basic cluster (manufacturer code to set/get is 0x100B).
If that attribute is set to 0x000B, the custom 64512/0xFC00 cluster should also be used (additionally to the normal commands).
I think some current remote quirks even use this cluster (short press, long press, ...).

Since there isn't a quirk for the Hue Tap Dial Switch to utilize the "enhanced" messages, perhaps try setting the attribute to 0(?) (Although I think you need a small quirk before you can even set that attribute)

Was your Hue Tap Dial Switch ever paired to a Bridge or something like that? Also, what coordinator are you using atm?

mellow geode
# stuck otter Looking at this (for "Philips Hue wall switch"): https://github.com/zigpy/zha-de...

I don't think the "mode" 0x0034 attribute is used on the Hue Tap Dial switch (only on the Hue Wall Switch).
So the "new quirk" could just use PhilipsBasicCluster and also PhilipsRemoteCluster from https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/dev/zhaquirks/philips/__init__.py

PhilipsRemoteCluster uses "on", "up", "down", "off" for the four buttons but that could be fixed later (it's also slightly wrong for the RWL022/Dimmer v2).

#

The device triggers should all work (although they will be on/up/down/off instead of 1/2/3/4 but eh)

stuck otter
#

could it be that I'm seeing this problem because the "reconfigure" doesn't get everything queried? So even if the quirks could fix, the real reason is the failing configure? And maybe the newer(?) model that tube has handles that better

#

where should I copy the quirk file?

mellow geode
#

Is your dimmer colored black or white?

stuck otter
#

black

#

good point 🙂

mellow geode
#

9290035002 might just be the black one and 9290035003 the white one then

stuck otter
#

yes

mellow geode
#

I'm pretty sure the internals of both of yours are exactly identical (same "Zigbee model")

mellow geode
# stuck otter where should I copy the quirk file?

You could set a custom_quirks_path in the zha config entry in your configuration.yaml:

zha:
  custom_quirks_path: /config/zha_custom_quirks

(Create a zha_custom_quirks folder in your /config folder (or change the path if you're not running HassOS/use a different folder/docker mount for the config folder))

#

In line 42 (MODELS_INFO), change RWL022 to RDM002

#

And maybe also change PhilipsRWL022 in line 34 to PhilipsRDM002

#

The rest of the signature should still match from a quick look

#

After you made those changes, paste the modified file in the custom quirks folder, reboot HA and see what breaks

#

If you're lucky, the (custom) quirk applies for the Tap Dial switch and you just need to re-join the device (to write the correct attributes)

#

After that, you might get some working zha_events. Although these will differ from the events used in the linked blueprint.
Device automation triggers should also work (if the quirk works at all) (but again, they'll show on/up/down/off for now)

#

Actually, that will only give you events for the four buttons. Kinda forgot about the dial lol

molten linden
#

yeah it sends a arg based on the speed of the dial turn

mellow geode

#

I'd be curious to what your philips/0x0031 attribute is set to vs the one from @stuck otter
(https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/b8d8480c72c871e2408637231ac1a2a485e33b03/zhaquirks/philips/__init__.py#L86)

That's the only reason I can think of that would cause getting the different events (a quirk should probably still use the "better" events from the custom cluster in the future)

But using a custom quirk with a PhilipsBasicCluster will set it to 0x000B upon "binding" (which tells the dial to use the "custom Philips commands"
(https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/b8d8480c72c871e2408637231ac1a2a485e33b03/zhaquirks/philips/__init__.py#L88-L93)

stuck otter
#

at least I see the event in the listener but I still also see the error in the log. But there's another error as well

mellow geode
#

Well, that's the recall command. So you're getting the "directly bound/simple events" now (although I expected the opposite)

#

What's the other error?

#

Also, can you check the "Device signature" again to see if the quirk even applied?

molten linden
#

I'm trying quirk now

stuck otter
#

I think the other error was related to the blueprint/automation and it's gone now that I deleted those

mellow geode
#

Mhm, it didn't even pick up the quirk (see the class). (can't tell you exactly why just from that)

#

... so the "simple event" just magically appeared for you now?

#

Maybe the pairing process just didn't complete fully the first time around?

stuck otter
#

I had to pair it again after adding the quirk as I was testing with the setup button earlier and I think it left it in some non-paired mode.

#

But I've already paired it several times and always got the same results (at least until now)

mellow geode
#

Wow, they are somewhat expensive for just being a "remote"

stuck otter
#

I realized an "user error" with the rdm002 quirk, trying again

molten linden
#

looks like I'm getting both the old simple and the new events

stuck otter
#

I get now on_short_release, recall, on_press

molten linden
#

I get 20_hold and some others lol

mellow geode
stuck otter
#

so, now the blueprint works too and I can control my test Philips Hue light bulb nicely. The quirk is not needed.
But I'm happy to help, if I can, so that there would be a proper rdm002 quirk file for this. Although if tube can repro the same stuff, maybe there's not much I can do?

molten linden
#

I can PR this, it really is the same file as as the RWL022, I might add it as a draft or something, because I think the events to be worked on for the dial turns as it's more than just a button hold which is how it's being translated in the quirk right now.

#

either that or @mellow geode needs to get one as he's the hue expert 😂

mellow geode
#

I’ll probably get one eventually lol

stuck otter
#

@molten linden @austere patio @mellow geode Thanks again for your help today. I'll probably hang here for awhile still, so don't hesitate to ping me if you want me to test something 🙂

Duh, getting the following error when changing color temp for some Zigbee lights: "Value for field 'color_temp_mireds' is required"

#

Haven’t investigated yet, but didn’t think there were any ZHA light changes in 2022.10.0 betas

austere patio
#

I think there are some bugs with certain lights with quirks and a PR that made it into 2022.9.0

#

Which light is this?

mellow geode
#

It’s an illuminize Zigbee 3.0 light. No weird Tuya stuff

austere patio
#

No quirk?

mellow geode
#

zhaquirks.iluminize.cct.CCTLight but IIRC it only changes the color capabilities to remove the color wheel, as it’s only color temp

austere patio
#

You are right, this is odd

mellow geode
#

Never noticed any issues with it before. It’s possible that issue already existed on 2022.9.0 but I doubt it (only noticed it because I just had a power outage lol)

austere patio
mellow geode
#

Mhm, I remember looking at it. Only checking it on the phone right now, but would "temperature" being None in line 452 cause that error?

#

Nvm, can’t be None (check in 450)

#

Other CCT or RGB-CCT lights seem to work just fine btw

mellow geode
#

Setting it via a service call to issue the cluster command directly works

tropic depot
#

this is the same as the KoF issue

yeah, that sound positive indeed. but is it working with HA as well 😉

i know. but it is from a seller that i dont trust anymore. There last package i ordered from them never arrived at all and landed some where shipping warehouse in Poland, instead of my how home.

Really dumb question, but I set up my zigbee USB about a year ago and can't find my notes. How do I figure out what firmware I have loaded on my zigbee usb? For what it's worth, it is the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus (the ZBDongle-P one I believe, based on CC2652P)

lilac wharf
#

what zigbee software are you using?

harsh zenith
lilac wharf
#

i was here, don't worry lol

#

go to Settings > About in the z2m UI

harsh zenith
#

heh, just wanted to make sure. ah, I see. looks like revision is 20211217

#

According to that, 20211217 should be new enough for a CC2652P device, right?

lilac wharf
#

yeah

harsh zenith
#

Hmm, any thoughts on further digging I can do on the MCCGQ14LM devices? My other 8 zigbee devices have been solid for the last year, but those two door sensors always seem to go "offline," no matter how many times I re-pair them

lilac wharf
#

how far away are they from the nearest zigbee router?

harsh zenith
#

maybe 12 feet, unobstructed? they're in the same general area that other zigbee devices (which consistently work) are

lilac wharf
#

ah yeah, probably not a signal issue then... some xiaomi devices can be finicky and are apparently picky about which routers they work well with, so that could very well be it

harsh zenith
#

Yea, I think it might be the timeout thing. When I re-pair them, they'll work for like 20 minutes or so (showing doors opening and closing). but then they'll eventually go offline again

It looks like it can not connect with the ZHA instance

I am hacking together a "mail received" detection with an ikea on/off dimmer button and two micro switches in my post box. I did a mistake with the wiring and now the "on" button is permanently closed when the post box is in its closed state. What do you think, will this affect battery life? The ikea button only sends an event on press and one on release, so the software logic is not a problem

#

Kinda wondering what it does to battery life if I permanently keep one button pressed

sour shadow
#

I'd expect it to have an impact on battery life, the question is whether it's a little or a lot shrug

hearty ibex
#

Let's see! Only one way to find out

#

Easy enough to rewire the switch, but I don't want to do it now

#

when suggesting the sonoff usb controllers should people be buying the newer "e" model over the "p" model?

wooden stream
#

Do I start with ZHA and transfer to ZB2MQTT later?

grim igloo
#

no

#

you cant transfer you have to completely start over i think

wooden stream
#

More in the terms of level of use at the start vs later. I currently only have 1 zigbee device

grim igloo
#

you can watch a couple videos on youtube to figure out which one you want to go with. a lot of us like zigbee2mqtt

wooden stream
#

Random Reddit guy mention that ZHA was for normal use, whereas zb2mqtt was more for a power user.

grim igloo
#

from a feature standpoint it seems they both are about the same, it's more about how you go about it

#

if you search "home assistant reddit zigbee2mqtt z2m or zha" you'll find a lot more people suggesting z2m

#

if that helps you make a decision

wooden stream
#

uh

lilac wharf
#

One major benefit of zigbee2mqtt is that it's decoupled from HA

wooden stream
#

Is z2m == zigbee2mqtt?

grim igloo
wooden stream
#

Odd search in that case lol

grim igloo
#

no it's not

#

it's making sure people calling it z2m are also in the search instead of the full name

#

#justsearchthings

wooden stream
#

Anyhow, how good is it at detecting devices? I think a previous tenant has some sort of LED strips in the kitchen, will the dongle pick that up?

Since my old HASS is dead and I cant go check, can someone tell me what port z2m uses in HASS for the dashboard by default cant remember it uses the z2m default of 8080 or it changes it for HASS, thanks

Currently playing around with different Silabs coordinators/firmware versions.
On one of the coordinators (Sonoff ZBDongle-E) running on "custom firmware"[1] with either EmberZNet 7.0 or 7.1, running bellows info fails: [2]

However, as soon as I comment out setting the supported networks to 1 [3], it magically works.
The firmware is compiled with these config options set: [4]. (So CONFIG_SUPPORTED_NETWORKS=2)

Not familiar with Silabs at all but is there any "easy" reason this fails? Is it maybe even expected?

mellow geode
#

And some HA issue:
On the latest 2022.10.2 beta, I deleted the ZHA integration, restarted HA and now I'm unable to add it: https://i.imgur.com/TENTi0u.png
(Adding it using discovery works but selecting it from the list always gives the prompt about needing to add it manually in configuration.yaml. Perhaps this was broken with the "integrations v2"/brands stuff in 2022.10.x?)

#

Uh huh, and the Add Zigbee device button redirects to the joining page (which obviously doesn't work though, as the integration isn't installed)

Does anyone know if this Philips hue bulb or all Philips hue zigbee bulbs support previous state on power restore? https://a.co/d/9KdC3NF

mellow geode
#

Those ones definitely do

#

All of them except the first and second gen bulbs with the metal/silver housing should do it IIRC

novel cloud
#

How does it work that they support Bluetooth or zigbee. When they are new out of the box it's possible to pair on either zigbee or Bluetooth?

mellow geode
#

Yep. They'll pair for up to 10 minutes or so after a power-cycle

#

Like, you can pair it to your Zigbee network and also to the Hue app (using Bluetooth) for example

novel cloud
#

Wait what lol. You can pair them to 2 places at the same time???? So native Bluetooth integration in home assistant and zha?

grim igloo
#

Why would someone do that though?

novel cloud
#

Zigbee is down you can use Bluetooth?

mellow geode
#

Hue Go bulbs also have a battery. If there's a power outage and your Zigbee network/HA goes down, you can still use Hue Go lamps as "emergency lamps" using the Hue app (with Bluetooth) for example

#

But for Signify/Philips Hue, it's intended to get you started in the ecosystem without needing to buy a Hue Hub

novel cloud
#

Definitely makes sense. I see the benefit for Bluetooth as a backup.

#

Really cool.

rapid flume
#

I'll gladly take dual radio bulbs over the current trend of proprietary cloud wifi everything

grim igloo
#

Bluetooth for initial pairing with matter is the only thing I think is really that useful or necessary

rapid flume
#

It's useful for the company and its retailers. It's a more flexible product that fits more usecases...

#

Again, though, if that's what it takes to convince OEMs to make quality bulbs that aren't completely reliant on crappy cloud services with dodgy APIs (if there's an API at all), I'll take it

Is it possible to have a wall switch control a smart outlet thru zigbee directly? Id like to be able to choose which outlet a switch controls but dont want to rely on automation.

Ah i see. Bindings

are there any firmware updates available for Lidl/Silvercrest equipment (i dont have the hub, so i cannot check myself)?

Morning y'all! Getting annoyed with my Zigbee network; literally every day one or more things (usually sensors, but sometimes lights or switches) falls off and I have to re-add them. My dongle is a Conbee2; I've heard other people have issues with it. Recommendations?

sour shadow
#

Is the stick on a USB extension cable?

#

Did you check that your Zigbee channel is clear of WiFi interference?

vernal knoll
#
  1. Yes, on a 6' cable
  2. ?
#

2 (con't). No, I haven't. What channel does it use?

half valley
#

do you use the conbee addon or zha?

sour shadow
#

Well, ZHA defaults to 15, Zigbee2MQTT to 11, and who knows about deCONZ

#

There is a handy pinned message about WiFi

half valley
#

the deconz addon gives me also trouble, since i changed to zha all work flawlessly

vernal knoll
#

Conbee

#

deCONZ

#

oop brb my 3yo is demanding attention. lol

vernal knoll
#

Hm. OK looked at a website discussing wifi interference. Currently live in a fairly dense subdivision so there's 2.4GHz networks all over the place.

#

Probably doesn't help.
