thank you. will look into it. Not sure why it constantly is unavailable in HA though. I have a combi 2 and also got a mini multi mode gateway (which works with smart life). Would it cause a conflict?

fast sentinel
#

does ZHA support updating smartthings sensors/buttons OTA? or must that be done on the smartthings hub before joining ZHA?

warm atlas
fast sentinel
#

@warm atlas thank you sir

#

trying to figure out why i cant connect these smartthings devices to ZHA, i'm on ch 25 - i am thinking these devices dont support this channel, but cannot find any docs to substantiate

warm atlas

#

yup i checked, they are on the list of supported devices, but no mention of what channels are supported. i can join them to the smartthings hub in 2 seconds, but ZHA/SONOF ZPdongle-e does not

could this be related? what does it meaaaaan

If the sensor in any way attempted to join the network, you'd see it pop up. If it isn't, try permitting joins and then resetting the sensor after a second or two. Only a few devices have channel bugs and they aren't very popular.

fast sentinel
#

understood. by permitting joins, you mean when you click the 'add device' under zha?

quick hare
#

Out of curiosity, when you leave your network without your coordinator online for more than 10 minutes (ZHA), does people with Hue lights see all their lights start flashing?

fast sentinel
#

i dont see that behavior with mine

Hi. I'm trying to track down why some Iris sensors are eating through batteries. Can someone explain how to interpret the Z2M Reporting interval options. What does "min rep interval" and "max rep interval" mean in plain english?

austere patio
#

You ask the sensor to report every time some attribute change by at least some value, no more often than the minimum reporting interval, but at least once every maximum reporting interval

worthy ledge
#

Thanks. Is there a way to lookup "default" values? Are the programmed in the "quirks" or hardcoded in the device hardware?

#

And if you have a large range between min and max, what actually triggers the update if the value doesn't change by the configured threshold?

sour shadow
#

Usually it'll be an internal threshold based on temperature/humidity/whatever it is they're measuring

austere patio
#

Are you using ZHA or Z2M? Only ZHA uses quirks.

sour shadow
#

You may also be able to set that in the reporting tab

worthy ledge
#

I'm using Z2M. Maybe quirk isn't the right term.

austere patio
#

Both have default reporting configs for each sensor. They're not unreasonable so I don't think that's your problem

sour shadow
#

for instance, this is set to report no faster than every 15 seconds, but at least every 3600 seconds. Between those if the sensor detects a change of 500 or more from the last report it'll send an update

image.png
worthy ledge
#

My battery voltage "min rep change" was set at 0. Does it make sense then that it would constantly be reporting voltage and kill my motion sensor battery in about 1 month?

#

And I'm assuming the rep intervals are in seconds?

austere patio
#

Hmm, that seems wrong. Are you tracking the battery voltage? Can you look at the Z2M debug logs?

worthy ledge
#

I was watching the debut logs and was seeing the sensor send payloads about 100x more frequently than other devices. That's what led me down this rabbit hole.

austere patio
#

Can you see what it's sending (or post the debug data)?

worthy ledge
#

But I just haven't understood how to interpret the reporting settings.

#

Let me see if I can grab some.

#

I had tried switching the 0 to a 1 to see if that would help.

austere patio
#

I believe the voltage is measured in 1/1000ths of a volt, so 3.2V would be reported by the device as 3200

#

ZHA configures battery powered devices devices to report their battery percentage at most once per hour

#

I have a new Zigbee stick arriving today. I've only ever used z-wave. Million dollar question perhaps, but I'm a complete noob.. ZHA or Z2M ?

Debug 2022-11-26 13:14:48Received Zigbee message from 'Under Cabinet Motion', type 'commandStatusChangeNotification', cluster 'ssIasZone', data '{"extendedstatus":0,"zonestatus":38}' from endpoint 1 with groupID 0

sour shadow
#

Assuming the stick is a CC2652 of course

worthy ledge
#

Actually, maybe I was misunderstanding what "reporting" does. Is that about passing data to HA for logging purposes?

sour shadow
#

Passing it to HA for ... whatever you want to do with it

#

Like, notifying you when a battery is dying

#

Or that the room is hot

mossy jacinth
austere patio
worthy ledge
#

The "reporting" section of Z2M doesn't list occupancy but it is obviously still passing that to HA....

austere patio
#

That doesn't get reported in the same way. The sensor always reports changes to the occupancy state.

#

In that log line, Z2M is showing you I think the current state of the device, which combines all known data from the device. If the temperature or battery voltage reporting is happening way too frequently, just reduce the minimum reporting interval to like half an hour and it should be fine

#

Can you collect logs from the sensor for like half and hour and post them all?

worthy ledge
#

Outside of reporting, is there anything else that would cause a sensor to be too "chatty" and/or prevent it from sleeping?

#

hi, I'm thinking of getting some Drayton Wiser radiator valves, and managing in homeassitant.
can I use any old zigbee hub to connect them? (ie without using the drayton heating control/hub)

sour shadow
#

You can use ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, with a suitable coordinator (stick)

#

Hubs need not apply

slender pulsar
#

thanks. so it would have to be a USB stick, connected directly to homeassistant server then?

sour shadow
#

Or a network connected coordinator (wired, not WiFi)

slender pulsar
#

that would work. is that what a ZHA is?

sour shadow
#

No

#

There are three Zigbee options with Home Assistant (regardless of how you install it). These are:

zha is actively developed as part of Home Assistant Core, using the zigpy stack, the UI also being part of Home Assistant. The EmberZNet based sticks are recommended (though the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset), but there are other options including the CC2652 based sticks. There is no list of supported devices, as any standards compliant device should work. Devices that require extra support are listed, and adding unsupported devices is documented.

Zigbee2MQTT is very actively developed and can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, and natively. As of 1.15 has a native UI, and it also uses MQTT for control and configuration. It supports mostly TI based sticks, with the recommended option being the [CC2652 based sticks](#zigbee-archived message). If you want to use an EmberZNet stick see this issue. The known working devices are well documented (which usually includes how to pair them so you don't have to find the manual), and adding unsupported devices is also documented.

deCONZ is relatively stable and mature with its own UI (and Discord server). It can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, or natively. Only the ConBee range of sticks and RaspBee GPIO boards are supported. Known working devices are documented, and how to request support for a new device is documented too (you can't add unsupported devices yourself).

sour shadow
#

ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT are two software packages that bridge between Zigbee and Home Assistant. ZHA is part of HA, Z2M isn't

#

Both require a coordinator, which is a radio device that talks Zigbee

Hi All, I've been trying to add the LUX KONOzw thermostat to my home assistant using zha and this zigbee dongle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09KXTCMSC
I have tried using the zha.permit service with what I think is the ieee address and the install code, but I just get this error on the termostat "ER:02 Provisioning error, no network"
Anyone have any ideas or gotten this working?

#

I'm installing tubes poe coordinator with intention of migrating my zigbee network to it, I use ZHA

#

i'm following the github guide, my system didn't auto detect it, so I'm about to add the ZHA integration (again) to add the coordinator

#

but before I do that, I'm not going to mess anything up by adding the integration again am I?

austere patio
austere patio
gleaming jay
#

the instructions must be just for new installs then, I dont see any for a migration

#

well, I went through the migration steps in ZHA, so now my old stick is disconnected and disabled by the wizard. I followed Tubes instructions for the "CC2652p based gateways select ZNP", typed in socket://192.168.1.36:6638 and set the baud and software flow, and it just says failed to connect

#

I can connect to the device on http://192.168.1.36 and see the ESP landing page so i know it's working

#

the logs only have errors about not being able to setup and connect to my old HubZ stick

#

Great, and now I can't re-do the migration, unknown error occured #&*$%!

austere patio
#

Restart HA Core and give it another try

gleaming jay
#

am I at risk of losing everything now? HA logs say stuff about the HUBZ files not found

austere patio
#

No, there's really no way to lose the network config and entity customizations unless you delete the ZHA integration fully and then delete zigbee.db

#

The integration should have either failed to start, or auto-formed your old network on the now-reset stick

gleaming jay
#

No so even after a restart, I hit migrate to a new radio, and the wizard wants to stop the old HUBZ stick, but that's already been done, so now it errors at that step and fails

#

i'll re-insert that stick and see

austere patio
#

In that case pick the other option, to re-configure the current radio

#

The only reason there is a migration question to begin with is so people with the HUSBZB-1 who leave it plugged in can reset the stick

gleaming jay
#

i reinserted and it let me get past that step and now I"m trying to connect to the tubes again

#

but failed to connect

austere patio
#

Can you send me the HA log?

quick hare
austere patio
#

As long as you never delete ZHA, yes

#

Just plug in the new coordinator and go through the migration flow. It'll ask if you want to start from scratch or restore a backup. The "erase network settings" option doesn't affect entities.

quick hare
#

Got it, so as long as I don’t delete the integration or the database, anything i’ll do, devices with retain their entities ID’s across coordinators / networks even if I don’t migrate.

gleaming jay
#

I think this is the relevant part

#

are you suggesting I don't try the migration option

austere patio
#

That log doesn't contain anything from the migration

gleaming jay
#

the logs from connecting to the web page of the controller says this

#

#

I'm not seeing anything show up in the logs when I try connecting

#

Im looking at the home assistant core logs

#

I connect, refresh the log, and nothing new shows up

austere patio
#

Enable https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#debug-logging, restart HA, and retry the migration. You don't need to plug in the old stick. Just wait for ZHA to fail to start up, (it will have a red border), configure the integration, and then go through the migration flow. You can select the "re-configure current radio" option and just enter the settings for the new coordinator.

gleaming jay
#

ugh now the log is so full i can't paste it into pastebin

austere patio
#

You can zip it and DM it to me

gleaming jay
#

i'm gonna try the other option instead of migrating reconfiging

#

I need to leave my hubz plugged in or the wizard fails tho

fast sentinel
#

if you dont have the old stick available, you can use the option to reconfigure current stick, and it’ll bypass that. just update the path for your device to socket://ip:6638,

Hello again. I've bought 6 zigbee enabled LE14 lamps from IKEA, they should all be the same. But 2 out of the 6 show a color wheel instead of the proper temperature slider in device->settings. Which would not be a problem, I mean, I can set the temperature if I set the color in the white/orange axis, but I grouped all 6 so I can control them as a single entiry, and when setting the temperature on the group these 2 always fall back to the same warmish temperature

#

I assume the odd 2 are advertising their capabilities differently, though I'm not sure why, as these are all supposed to be part of the same batch, but what are my options here? Can I force these to use the temperature instead of color somehow? Or should I just return them as "defective"?

Hey guys, I am currently struggling to get this zigbee button up and running with ZHA https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Eardatek_ERS-10TZBVB-AA.html. I realized, that I need to write a quirk, but am new to this... is it possible to debug the data which comes/goes to the device? I only see the events fired by the wrong clusters connected to the device which makes it really hard for me to understand, what I have to change.

It’s in the main HomeAssistant log. It will be very verbose especially on a larger network.

Can someone tell me what the "etiquette" is for creating new Blueprints for different models of Zigbee devices? I've just worked my way through a brilliant little ZHA/quirk/setup adventure for an Aqara Double Rocker switch. https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/940

I want to make the Blueprint from the github page available on the blueprint exchange with some notes on which sub model and how to get the quirk / setup working. Do I just put in lots of links and acknowledgements to the people who actually did the work?

Hi, I recently got myself some lidl zigbee lamps. After ZHA discovered them, the color temperature scale is inverted (setting it to warm light makes it cold) and off (the "warm" setting doesn't set the warm color to it's maximum)
ZHA is using the correct type of bulb, what could my issue be?

prisma shell
#

Hmm. I re-paired an ikea button that was working (wanted to make sure it was connected to the closest bulb) and now zha doesn't see any events from it

#

reconfigure fails as well

#

I tried watching zha_event and my other button works and shows up

mighty river
#

@prisma shell I have given up on the small on/off tradfri switches, the bigger 4 way switches I've had only success with but the smaller 2 way one I can pair, sometimes works for a bit and then ZHA just ignores it, or the button stops sending events, not sure

#

I paired it directly to a bulb and works like a charm, never fails

#

which switch are you working with?

prisma shell
#

this is the 2 button it's been fine until i decided to repair it

#

i've had battery issues off and on with it though

Hi, for monitoring fridge temperature, a basic zigbee thermometer can work ? or does the battery die too qucikly ?

Hi guys,

I face a problem after migration CC2531 to CC2652p (SONOFF Zigbe 3.0).
Trying to add a new device, I get an error "Failed to interview '0xa4c1384fbf740f08', device has not successfully been paired."
All the old connected zigbee devices are working properly.
coordinator revision 20220219
Zigbee2MQTT version 1.28.2

Any idea??

prisma shell
#

and what caused this

#

I moved from the sonoff bridge to the pro, all was fine using the zha migrate

#

last night I switched channels for hopefully less interference and had to re-pair most things

#

the ikea buttons just worked but I wanted to make sure it was paired through the light it's next to and that's where it started having issues

#

it took a long time to pair but said it was good, i have battery status, but no button press makes a zha event

Hey folks! I have a Sonoff ZBDongle-e, and I am trying to completely remove/wipe/delete my network, but after deleting the ZHA integration, restarting HA and setting up the ZHA integration again (selecting erase network), all my devices are still there....

#

Is there something I can do to really wipe the controller and the network and everything??

prisma shell
#

the dongle swap was 2 weeks ago

#

the channal swap was yesterday

#

the dongle swap was instant and pwefect

#

nothing auto changed channels except the ikea buttons

#

one of the ikea buttons only had an issue after I tried to re-pair it

#

and i power cycled the lights hoping they'd get the new channel w/o repairing

#

the ikea buttons didn't need to be re paired surprisngly

prisma shell
#

now i regret trying

#

and it's not easy to test since it takes down the house

#

guess i could migrate to my old sonoff and try to repair

#

wonder if it's a coord issue or a new zha broke it

mossy jacinth
#

is it possible to add lights to multiple groups in Zigbee2mqtt?

#

for instance, I have a bunch of hue bulbs for table lamps around the house. I create a group for my office which works well. I'd like to create a larger group that encompasses all of the table lamps around the house

Has anyone used the enbrighten 43080 dimmer switch? According to Blackadder it does wok with HA, I was just wondering if anyone here has actually used it and has any pros/cons/gotchas to report.

austere patio
dull quartz
#

OK. So no reset on the controller? No NVRAM delete or anything? It is all software?

austere patio
#

Selecting the "erase network settings and form a new network" option does that

#

Why do you want to start from scratch?

dull quartz
#

Just so much was messed up… And a feeling that the mesh wasn’t rebuilding over time. I’ve noticed that latency was building up with a few of the nodes…

austere patio
#

Re-forming a network usually won't help with this. What coordinator are you using?

dull quartz
#

The new Sonoff zigbee dongle, ZBDongle-e, is it?

austere patio
#

Any routers on your network? Are you seeing latency when sending or receiving?

dull quartz
#

Plenty of mains powered device (Tradfri bulbs), but I also heard rumours they are not always routing predictably…

#

Latency mainly when sending, looking from the controllers perspective…

austere patio
dull quartz
#

I did try to get zigpy-znp to work, but it looked like it had trouble with the serial communication…

austere patio
#

zigpy-znp is only for ZNP radios and is full of ZNP-internal tools. The above is a radio-agnostic interface.

dull quartz
#

Oooh!

#

I’ll have a look! 👌🏻

austere patio
#

If you're using the -E dongle, you would use the ezsp radio type: zigpy radio --baudrate 115200 ezsp /dev/... energy-scan

dull quartz
#

Thanks!

austere patio
#

Just make sure to disable ZHA before running the tools, as neither will work if two things are accessing the same radio

dull quartz
#

I have zigpy on another computer.. 👍🏻

ripe inlet
#

just found/remembered i have 3 hue bulbs from a long time ago that a friend got at an estate sale. used to have the hub but no longer. come to find out that i can only put them into pairing mode with a hub or z2m with touchlink which kinda sucks because i only have 1 controller stick and it'd be a pita to do since i use zha normally 😐

austere patio
#

Which stick are you currently using?

ripe inlet
#

husbzb-1

austere patio
ripe inlet
#

so it'd work according to the z2m docs but yknow

#

oh, can i do that in-place?

austere patio
#

Yeah, as long as ZHA is disabled (or you use a different computer)

ripe inlet
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm that might actually be preferable if i can just do it straight from HA in the terminal. it's in a vm so the controller is a passed-through device

#

i'll give this a shot thanks

dull quartz
austere patio
#

Yeah

#

It's not on PyPI so you will have to install it from Git. There's a command at the top of the README.

ripe inlet
#

man i think i'm gonna have to try this on another computer. oh well. i don't want to mess too much with the hass environment setup and it doesn't already have python.

austere patio
#

Ah, you probably have the non-community SSH addon. The OS has Python, it's just hidden in the Docker container for HA Core. But it is easier to do all this on another computer.

ripe inlet
#

hmmm i have what i thought was the community ssh addon, from the home-assistant/addons repo

#

which python and which python3 give me nothing, same for pip/pip3

austere patio
ripe inlet
#

ahhhh

#

i misunderstood "non-community"

#

gotcha

dull quartz
#

Thanks for your help @austere patio! The energy scan showed a value of around 35% on my previous channel (11), and it was the most congested one! Changed to channel 20 (~5%) and will rebuild from there. Crossing fingers it will get better from now!

austere patio
#

Most (if not all) routers will do it

dull quartz
#

Good to know for the future… 👌🏻 This time I was to trigger happy and did not do a backup! 🥸

austere patio
#

The zigbee.db file has one

#

If you do the ZHA migration/setup again, it'll let you choose one

dull quartz
#

That is very convenient! I’ll look at that tomorrow! Now both me and the dongle needs some downtime after tonight’s action! 😅

ripe inlet
austere patio
#

The reset system I guess is convenient if you have a Hue remote but it's definitely not easy if you don't. I'm glad it worked!

ripe inlet
#

yeah. wasn't working from one floor to the other, but it did when i got them close. now i just need to figure out why i don't get "white bulb" settings on the color bulb (temp basically) and why it only gives me a color wheel

austere patio
#

Hmm. Try removing it and re-joining, I think I saw this bug once

#

I believe the Hue bulbs should reset normally if they are removed from a network

ripe inlet
#

i hope so lol

#

here we go

#

you were correct 🙂

#

you were also correct that it fixed the temp settings

mellow geode
ripe inlet
#

yeah, these are pretty old. i got them in like 2016-2017 from a friend who found them at an estate sale

Hi everyone, I would like to know, why some devices like philips hue has depth value 255?

Hi all,

I've got the weirdest thing. My old antenna decided to stop working, so I bought a SONOFF ZigBee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus, TI CC2652P from Amazon. Since I was still on my first install ever, I decided to completely reinstall everything again. So far, so good. At the end it recognized all my switches, bulbs, etc.

Now the weird thing: there's one light that won't show up in my list of devices, but for some reason it is part of my living room setup: when I ask my Google Nest Hub to turn all lights in the living room on or off, it reacts. I can't find it anywhere in my list of devices, nor in the list of devices in the living room.

However, there's a device called Texas Instruments CC1352/CC2652, Z-Stack 3.30+ (build 20210708). I think this is my antenna, looking at what kind of device the CC1352 is. This controls a couple of groups, that are called <area>zha_group<numbers>. One of them controls that specific light (the light is called TS0505A by _TZ3000_odygigth, at least the others are).

I've been looking for it everywhere, but I can't find the %!#$ light anywhere, so I rename it and add it to the scenes. Does anyone have any idea?

Ah, that's where it is! Thank you! But honestly this only makes things weirder... The light that the group switches, is not in the list of the lights in the group. There are only two lights in the group, but when I switch it off/on, it controls 6...

Some devices come with pre-set groups, by default (for whatever reason). You can add those lights to the group and then remove them to make sure they're not a part of it.

Hey, I'm using ZHA (migrating from Z2M), and I recreated my groups. Light groups are OK but shutter groups does not show any entity. Anyone got shutter groups working fine?

Not sure if ZHA supports shutter groups (with broadcast). Can you try creating a "shutter group" in HA itself using the single entities?

What do you think about HA groups vs zigbee groups? Last time I tried, with HA group of 10 lights was not very reliable..

I migrated my HA onto a new network and this ended up causing HA to no longer see my Sonoff zigbee dongle plugged in. I'm running HA through a VM (VirtualBox). As far as I can tell it's set up correctly but HA still doesn't list it as a connected hardware.

Hello looking for some help. We had a power cut and I now have three zigbee devices, lights that are now not working. On the mushroom dashboard they say there unavailable with a question mark against them. Is there a quick fix or do I need to reinstall

i have recently gotten some ikea blinds that are zigbee controllable but i was wondering what hub to get, i run home assistant on a raspberry pi and hopefully will be able to control my blinds through that

red rose
#

So; I'm pulling my hair over this Ikea shortcut button. This comment on reddit describes exactly what's happening to me (paired it up, and no events coming through). I even did firmware update... However, I can't figure out how do they "repeatedly" bind to coordinator (as per comment's instructions)? Do they just refresh the page? In my UI when I click bind there is a loading animation and the "bind/unbind" buttons are disabled.

https://www.reddit.com/r/tradfri/comments/t1pdqi/tradfri_shortcut_button_not_working_with_home/ik9d9of/

It obviously seems absolutely silly to do but it describes my problem to the dot, and there are several people confirming it worked for them...

I do this during pairing stage while also repeatedly clicking the buttom (hardware). Shortly after pairing I see this sort of event (the only event I see from this button):

What coordinator are you using?

red rose
#

The whole github discussion is actually pointing to the fact that they don't send signals, because they sleep. By binding them to the coordinator while pairing... it works (I'm not intimately familiar with homeassistant yet so no idea what's going on inside)

austere patio
#

Do you have any routing devices like bulbs?

red rose
#

yes

austere patio
#

Remove it from your network and re-join it by going to the bulb closest to the device, clicking the three-dot dropdown menu, and selecting "Join devices via this device"

red rose
#

hmm will try

red rose
# austere patio Remove it from your network and re-join it by going to the bulb closest to the d...

I did that, ie.

  1. remove device
  2. go to closest bulb
  3. 3 dots -> join devices via this device
  4. ... searching
  5. 4x click lil button to put the hardware button to pairing mode
  6. was found, interviewed, added

But now when I open the button (it was deleted, eg name is refreshed) I can see it's still "connected via coordinator" (and not the bulb?). I've never added devices through routers othar than the coordinator so not sure if what I see is right.

I can also see log-book history but I would assume that's IEEE based.

Nevertheless - it's not firing events (can't see them in the logbook on the button's page nor in the dev tools > events > zha_event bus)

austere patio
#

Alternatively, click the "reconfigure device" button and then continuously click buttons on the remote

#

You should see it bind and set up reporting

red rose
#

which took forever as the button kept going to sleep and had to restart over and over

red rose

That's why you have to keep poking buttons on the device to wake it up

#

There's no way to detect the coordinator hardware, just the vague firmware it's running. Looks like a CC2652 running 20220219.

#

How far away is the bulb you joined the sensor through from your coordinator?

red rose
#

~1-2m; it's the nearest bulb to me (ceiling) from where I'm sitting

austere patio
#

Move near a more distant bulb, so the sensor will 100% prefer to join via that bulb instead of the coordinator

red rose
#

OK I can try

austere patio
#

There's a firmware bug with the CC2652 where IKEA sensors like this don't really communicate properly when joined directly to the coordinator

#

They have to go through some intermediate router

red rose
#

but the coordinator is still within a reasonable reach

#

my farthest bulb is perhaps 5m away from the coordinator in a direct line

#

The on/off switch seems to work just fine; it's just this short-button that isn't working properly

#

nevertheless I can go try going farthest away from the coordinator

austere patio
#

In that case, it's working

red rose
#

wdym?

austere patio
#

If it was joined directly to the coordinator and experiencing the bug I was talking about above, it wouldn't work at all beyond joining. Try reconfiguring it a few more times to make sure all the binding and attribute reporting is set up. There's not a whole lot else you can do.

red rose
#

I meant that the on/off switch works fine - as in a completely different piece of hardware

#

I got 2 hardware items from Ikea. The on/off switch and the shortcut button. The on/off switch works fine, the shortcut button doesn't work.

austere patio
#

If you have debug logging enabled, can you PM me the log? It'd contain everything necessary to figure this out.

red rose
#

what the hell... works randomly now.

Connected through the farthest away bulb.

Still says on the device's page that it's connected through the coordinator.

Reconfigured and pressed the hardware button a few times. Lit green (reconfiguration).

Logbook shows events now. Event bus for zha_event shows the shortcut button events.....................

#

I spent like 5h+ on this 😐

austere patio
#

What kind of bulb is it?

red rose
#

all ikea

#

BUT the button's page is still showing as connected through Coordinator

#

is that supposed to be a thing?

austere patio
#

The network visualization would show you the correct information (after you do a re-scan). The "connected via" is showing you the way ZHA is presenting devices to Home Assistant, which doesn't match the topology of the network (i.e. every device is connected via the coordinator).

#

The firmware version for your coordinator is also fine so if you permitted joins only through that one bulb, it'll join through that bulb.

red rose
austere patio
#

It should reconnect to another router eventually

red rose
#

Apologies for asking so much from you but perhaps you can help with one thing, it's minor though.

So this button has a blueprint that manages the inputs better (short press, double press, long press). I've added the blueprint. I've created an automation through it, but I can't see the automation under automations nor under the device-specific automations (on buttons page)

#

I go blueprints -> create automation (of that specific blueprint ofc) ->

  1. device = the shortcut button (there is only one)
  2. single click = w/e I want to do
  3. save

Doesn't show up anywhere 🤔

#

(figured it out, the blueprint was outdated)

#

maybe this is also what could cause it, can you move zigbee devices? Or will they get disconnected then?

sour shadow
#

A coordinator is the radio that you attach to the computer running the Zigbee software - ZHA or Z2M. Your Sonoff dongle is that coordinator.

You can move Zigbee devices. Whether they'll remain connected to the mesh depends on whether they're a router (almost certainly), Zigbee 3.0 end device (almost certainly), or something else (maybe... depends on the make and model).

Hello, if i suppose to have a series of custom ZigBee router devices positioned in a straight line, in which each device just binds with the previous and next, could i suppose to reliably reach the, say, 50th device after 50 hops? Can i push it to 100? I'm having an hard time in extimate and simulate this kind of scenario. Any hint would be very appreciated.
I'm trying to implement this in with a HA + ZHA approach, using a ZNP flashed CC2652P as coordinator and a custom CC2652P router that i created in order to make the routers

sour shadow
#

Straight line... that's likely to scale terribly

#

I'd also expect that the results will depend in part on the hardware you use - is it fast enough to process packets before timeouts strike

mighty river
#

I know it's the worst configuration, i'm hoping to have a semi-straight line with at least 4 bind for device (2 previous and 2 next), but the music doesn't change.
The CC2652P seems to be the top notch of TI, but i have not found any data on this kind of scenario. The ones who asked how to push an inline network in such a way on e2e.ti.com stopped posting years ago without results...

#

So i ask, to whom has created big networks, what is the maximum hops number that you found working reliably?

austere patio
mighty river
austere patio
#

You might be able to do this with source routing

Looks like for Z-Stack the default depth is 20 and it sets the max hops as 40 so you should be fine

VM on Windows?

#

right now it's in a VM...Oracle

I guess my problem is portainer... so do a reinstall... but use compose...?

Portainer isn't the problem

slender sapphire
#

I'm not married to Win OS but for surveillance cameras I'm using it like a NVR

austere patio

Portainer is just a Docker manager though. It's running on something. What operating system is running in your VM?

lilac wharf
#

Really though, puddly is right: HA OS sounds like a better choice for you

slender sapphire
#

ubuntu I believe

#

WinHA

#

Honestly it's quite confusing.... because my portainer lists homeassistant, hassio_observer, Deepstack.

#

then when I look at my Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager the WinHA with Ubuntu is powered off.....

#

So....I guess it's just portainer and docker on Windows

#

this sounds like a not-zigbee problem 🙂

if you don't understand your underlying hypervisor/os, I recommend hassio

@tropic depot helped me get to the bottom of it

Like say I had 6 lights in a Zigbee group, 1/2 of them would turn on

Or like, my Hue motion sensors would drop off and have to be re-paired.

#

running into a weird issue, i picked up aqara p1 motion sensor and I was able to change its timeout to 15s

#

however whenever i try to change it again, it resets back to 15

is there some other way to update this? Tried changing it in the UI and using developer tools to set state.

#

nvm i see something that says one can only change it first few mins of pairing

Press the button on it after you change the value

You need to wake battery devices up to have them receive the command

Good morning.
I'm struggling a bit in the search of a suitable example in the MQTT integration docs for my case, if i have some custom Zigbee devices paired each with 8 switch and 8 energy meters (8 endpoints of "Smart plug" type). Can i really configure the MQTT integration to reach individually each device with its 16 entities?

#

My goal would be to poll the devices' measures and command their switches via my MQTT broker

#

thank you in advance for any help, i really appreciate it

sour shadow
#

It depends in large part whether you're using ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT

#

And then whether those devices expose both a switch and the meter to HA

#

If you're using Zigbee2MQTT then you can already control them via MQTT

mighty river
sour shadow
#

Then you picked the hard mode, but it's perfectly do-able with Home Assistant as the bridge

mighty river
sour shadow
#

If you want to use MQTT then ... no

#

If you want to use MQTT then Zigbee2MQTT is the obvious choice because it already uses MQTT

#

If you're writing your own app then you don't even need Home Assistant at that point, just Z2M

#

Otherwise, you'll be creating the relevant MQTT entities yourself, and using the publish service to send payloads for the sensors, using automations, etc

sour shadow
#

The answers haven't really changed

#

If you're using Z2M always use a CC2652 based stick

#

If you're using ZHA either will be fine

fallow warren
#

I use Z2M and have a solid mix of Hue/trådfri light bulbs. I see online that the Hue app offer some cool features such as colorloop, music sync etc. Is this possible for me to do with Z2M and HA? I dont have a Hue bridge, sync box or App 🤔

broken hare
#

About to tear everything off and relocate to a new home. What would be the optimal way of re-adding things to HA? (Should be getting a new coordinator in the next few days).

Get the coordinator online, get the routers online in order of distance, and then add individual endponits to the closest router?

#

..don't have the physical key of the house yet, so i have to sit on my hands for now. 🙂

sour shadow
#

My advice is always to spiral outwards with the routers first, and then add the end devices

broken hare
#

Thanks for the tip. I dived in to the never ending debate between ZHA and Z2M, that'll keep me entertained for a while

sour shadow
#

That's easier... if you've got a CC2652 coordinator you can choose, if you don't then use ZHA

#

If you like putting all your eggs in one basket use ZHA. If you like separation use Z2M.

#

But really ||don't use deCONZ||

broken hare
#

I've preordered the skyconnect, but my conbee2 is still running fine with the occasional hickup every now and then.

the ConBee is ok with either, the SkyConnect is likely to be experimental with Z2M, and unstable

Hello, I have a Sonoff zigbee bridge-p gateway, do you have a link for a tutorial to flash it?

I also have an MQTT (Mosquitto) running.
Could it be an alternative to Tasmota?
(I insist on being able to do without Tasmota because it did not work well during a previous use on a wemos)

Hey, I've been running Zigbee2MQTT for several months now and I haven't really paid attention to it, but I just ran a Map on it and found several devices not linked with a line to either the main hub nor any routers. Does that mean that they have lost their connection and are not communicating?

Are they Aqara?

I'm pretty sure one of them (Temperature / humidity) is giving me an old reading.

I think Z2M should be showing you when it last heard from the device

robust forum
#

Yeah, that's what I'm beginning to suspect. Should I try to move them closer to the router and see if they reconnect or should I try to redo the pairing?

mellow geode
#

slight issue I had with ZHA today:
I disabled the ZHA integration, did some stuff, and re-enabled it after ~10 minutes and everything re-connected as expected. However, a couple of hours later, I got an "offline" zha_event for every device (over a span of half an hour or).
The entities themselves were never marked as unavailable and continued working the whole time though, so maybe the offline detection thing was somehow broken by disabling and re-enabling the integration?

The network ids look the same, I‘ll peek at the logs in a bit.
Shouldn’t the entities also be marked as unavailable then (even if it’s just for a second)?

My Raspbee II has been giving me problems recently: I have it on a Raspberry. After a few days of running, the Raspberry slowly gets warmer (not critical) until at some point the Raspbee is no longer recognized. Then the Raspberry does not react on reboot commands anymore. The HO interface still works and also interacts with the MQTT sensors etc. Only when I disconnect the power and it reboots, everything works fine again for a few days - including the Raspbee. Anybody got an idea?

Hello,
I bought a couple of Sonoff S26R2ZB devices, and connected them with a sonoff zbdongle-P, with ZHA
I can tell that I cannot edit the default power state through ZHA, and according to this page "https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/S26R2ZB.html" it's also not available through Z2M
I know that the device supports this as it can be done with a sonoff bridge, which I do not have at the moment.

I plan to use 50-100 of this device in an installation, and I have to edit this behaviour on this device (so even if HA is down, zigbreeb bridge is down, everything is broken, they should all turn on when the power comes back)

Using ZHA, under the OnOff cluster the start_up_on_off which I guess would be this setting, repors as "None". I guess this means it's not abailable in a standard way, only in a manufacturer specific way.

How would I go about discovering what cluster needs to be sent to change this option?

Is there a way to batch try out a bunch of settings and see what sticks? I think I can always factory reset if something breaks.

I'm willing to buy a sonoff bridge if there is a way to listen to their communications and reverse engineer the specific cluster, I just want to avoid connect every device to the sonoff bridge first, edit this option, then reconnect to HA.

#

Ah, this might not be necessary.
I see that "Power_on_behavior" is exposed for the ikea tradfri smart plugs in Z2M, and they're around the same price as the s26r2ZBs

Running Zigbee2Mqtt. I have two Segled Zigbee bulbs that joined yesterday, no problem. This morning, around 10am, I was having trouble getting an automation to work with them, so I noticed that there was an OTA firmware update available, and updated using the Zigbee2Mqtt UI. Didn't think anything of it. Hours later, I noticed that Zigbee2Mqtt had crashed for me at 2:07pm. I restarted the add-on, and everything is now showing in the UI except for the Sengled bulbs. The weird thing is, the bulbs are showing available and are responding on my HASS dashboard. What gives?

No, they're either Zigbee routers or they're not, you can't control that

I think the bulb supoprts it otherwise it wouldnt have the option

is there anyway to force the system to rebuild the network

A typical discovery payload would be more like

Right, so you have Discovery payloads

#

Z2M is working fine

wanton hound
#

I miss something in home assistant ?

sour shadow
#

Either it's not using the same MQTT broker or you disabled MQTT Discovery

wanton hound
#

the MQTT brocker is the add on of Home Assistan

#

t*

sour shadow
#

And it needs the integration to talk to the broker

wanton hound
#

yes with this value for broker : core-mosquitto

#

(on mqtt integration)

sour shadow
#

Go to the broker settings and pick Configure then Reconfigure, select Advanced and make sure that Enable discovery is set

wanton hound
#

Yes, it's the case, its enable

rapid dawnBOT
#

If you're having problems with your updates to your configuration:

wanton hound
#

I think that I found the problem

sour shadow
#

I'm guessing it doesn't like the # in the URL

#

Or it requires it to be an actual URL, eg starting http://

#

I'd open an issue in the HA Core repo about it

rapid dawnBOT
#

Want to see what issues are open (or were open and are now closed)?

Don't forget to check for any alerts

If you think an upgrade broke something then:

  1. Downgrade to the previous version to check if it works correctly there
  2. If it does then change the logger settings for that integration to debug
  3. Upgrade to the new version again
  4. Look in the logs for errors
  5. Open an issue, following the template provided and including the log information

I kown that the link to zigbee2mqtt dashboard was not the good... (URL insde paramters / interface in Zigbee2mqtt)

sour shadow
#

Actually...

wanton hound
#

That ok now 😉

sour shadow
#

Looks like the person there also didn't make it a URL, so I'm guessing that's the issue

wanton hound

It's not realy clear in the documentation...

sour shadow
#

A URL by definition includes a schema, http:// or https://

#

You are of course though free to suggest an edit to the docs

wanton hound
#

Yes, but for zigbee2mqtt, its needed to set it in a specific parameter

sour shadow
#

ovirthost.cedricmartin.me/ isn't a URL

#

https://ovirthost.cedricmartin.me/ is a URL

yes I know but the time to retrieve where is the parameter... and the explicit or not protocol set before it...

Hello, I recently integrated by roller shutters (Profalux, ZHA compatible) in HA using a Conbee II gateway. Everything works out of the box with a few oddities (services are exposed as both "cover" and "shade" entities).
However, regularly, the state of the shutters are not properly updated. For example, a shutter may be displayed as opened even if it was closed, preventing me from opening it. The only solution then is either
to use the remotes, or to manually call the cover.open_cover service using the development tools.

I investigated a bit and ended up looking in the websocket transactions from the UI. It seems that sometimes, the events to update the current state of the shutter position is not received properly,
prevening HA from updating the internal state properly.

I am quite new to this, but I'd like to understand what is happening behind the hood to be able to issue a fix. From my point of view, the event is either not sent by the shutters are all (which I guess is not fixable, but I could add least add a specific integration to not rely on the shutter state to enable/disable the buttons in the UI), lost by the Conbee II or lost somewhere in HA code and its dependencies.
Is there a way to log all zigbee messages received by the coordinator ? Or do you have advice on how to investigate this kind of issue ? Thanks

(btw not sure if the channel is appropriate, so sorry if I'm offtopic)

#

No it's connected right on my server (USB 3.0 port I believe if that matters)

austere patio
#

That would be a problem. USB 3.0 emits enough 2.4GHz interference to affect Zigbee operation, especially the Conbee. Move the Conbee onto a USB 2.0 extension cable.

austere otter
#

I'll try that, thanks for the advice !

clever pelican
austere patio
#

Maybe some hubs have more shielding but there's no downside to sticking it onto a USB 2.0 extension cable

hey! Could someone in here possibly help me troubleshoot why a GLEDOPTO bulb won't connect?

They have connected before, and I removed them... now, trying to add them again, and... nothing at all seems to be happening.

I put the bulb into a socket, and turned it on, while also permitting join in Z2M.

Bulb: GL-B-008P

#

nvm... figured it out.
have to turn it off/on a series of times to get it into pairing mode...
Perhaps, fresh from the factory it isn't needed?

ivory trail
#

Has anyone installed any of the Schneider Electric Unica connected switches? They are replacement light switch/socket modules with Zigbee as far as I can tell. No more smart plugs hanging off the electrical sockets. do they work ok with a third party hub and HA?

Hi everyone. Rookie question. So I started looking into Home Automation yesterday, and thought I had settled on a zigbee usb dongle. but then some one mentioned that it could be a lan coordinator. Tried to read into this but cannot figure out what the benefits of a ethernet coordinator is over the USB. Is it mainly to do with numbers of units?

#

planning to run the HA on a raspberry pi

sour shadow
#

You get to place it more centrally, away from the RF noise of the PC

turbid drum
#

won't a usb extension do a similar thing?

austere patio
#

If your server is in the basement, you'd need a really long USB extension cable

turbid drum
#

my server is in the basement, and... I don't have issues

cloud gorge
#

good point. well i wasn just wondering because it seems like usb is $20 and ether is $100

#

so was wondering if that is just because it is more complicated hardware or if there would be other addtitions

austere patio
#

If you have a large enough mesh, it doesn't matter all that much

#

But it won't hurt

cloud gorge
#

i dont have a basemtn x-)

turbid drum
#

I would start with the less expensive option, and then... if it doesn't work (and all other things are ideal), then upgrade.

#

the stick I personally have, and have had pretty good luck with is:
SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus Gateway

cloud gorge
#

very good suggestion. initial plan is like 2-5 units, so make sense no to plan for 200+ units 🙂

#

that was the one I had in mind aswell.

turbid drum
#

it is a good idea to get a usb extension cable (usb 2.0) and plug the dongle into it.

I've been told that it will get the antenna away from the RF noise of the PC/pi/USB ports/etc

cloud gorge
#

thanks for the input.

turbid drum
#

You're welcome. Good luck on the build.

I'm looking at replacing an ESPHome temp & Rh sensor with an Aqara one. I'd like for the name of the new sensor to eventually be the same as the name of the old one, but I'd like to run them in parallel for a bit. I don't have a lot of faith in what's being reported by the ESPHome one, so I'd like to see the differences between them.
If I install the new Aqara and name it "New x", what's involved in removing the old ESPHome, renaming the new Aqara and still having all the automations that the old one is tied into still work?

turbid drum
#

One thing to note since you're starting from ground up is:
The more hard-wired zigbee devices that are "routers", the better. They will extend the zigbee mesh making the signals stronger and more responsive. If you run into poor link quality, try getting some devices that plug in (most light bulbs count, but not all)

turbid drum
#

I suspect you can use the same name once you've removed all instances of the old sensor from the system...

fading briar
#

sigh. I figured that was going to be the answer. I hoped that by giving the new one the same name as the old one, everything would automagically work.
oh well...

turbid drum
#

another thing to look at is... some sensors have the ability to calibrate the reading...

sour shadow
turbid drum
#

do you have to reload the system to do that?

sour shadow
#

No

turbid drum
#

I assume user error is the reason then that I couldn't get that to work. my bad. 😛

sour shadow
#

Or you were using devices, since those you can't rename

turbid drum
#

yeah, that could be too...

#

I'm still not very good at HA

#

:\

#

getting there though.

fading briar
sour shadow
#

To change what the automation is using, you edit the automation, but if you follow that to change the entity_id of the entity no automation changes are required

fading briar
#

Ah, so I could set up the new one as "device X", then when I'm ready to swap it in, I just delete the old one and rename the new one to the old one's name.

sour shadow
#

Yes

fading briar
#

That is what I was hoping for, fantastic! Thanks for the confirmation and congrats to the dev team for making it easy!

turbid drum
#

so... question along this topic...

#

if I want to re-move a device (sensor), and re-join it (zigbee)... but I don't want to have to update everything where it's used... do I just do the same thing as mentioned above? (assuming it's not using device triggers/actions)

sour shadow
#

Just move it to the new location and re-pair it in place

#

It'll reconnect to the mesh and won't change entity or device

turbid drum
#

when you say re-pair, what do you mean specifically?

#

I've added some wired routers between it's location and the antenna... so I want to remove it, and re-pair it...
you're saying... that it'll re-join with the same name and everything as before?

sour shadow
#

Don't remove it

#

Take it to the new place, and simply repeat the pairing process

turbid drum
#

will that cause it's mesh to update?

#

(if I've recently put routers between it and the antenna)

sour shadow
#

It'll cause it to reconnect, how it reconnects is up to it

ivory trail
fading briar
#

interesting approach. Thanks.

turbid drum
#

The reason I want to re-connect this device is that... it constantly stops responding... for what reason? Idk...

#

Currently, I got it to re-interview, but... none of the readings are showing anything. 😦

#

It's a Hue Outdoor Sensor... so... you know... it's supposed to "just work" lol

#

I'm not sure why it keeps becoming unresponsive... I wish I knew how to better troubleshoot it.

What are the brightest Zigbee GU10 bulbs? I have 600 lumen ones right now and don’t really want to go down too much. Warm white only o@is good enough, although CCT would be a nice bonus

I’d rather keep things off Wifi if I can. But if I have no other choice…

They are only 300 lm though

#

Is there a known issue with the Aqara P1 where it doesn't have good range? I thought I saw it mentioned a few times, but never looked into it closely.

turbid drum
#

I use the P1 sensors for all my motion lighting and am very happy with them. They also offer lux readings.

turbid drum
ocean cloak
#

Interesting. So the range upwards is better?

#

I do actually have it fairly high up

turbid drum
#

I installed mine near the ceiling at first... kinda pointed at the area of traffic, and... range was like... 4 feet.

ocean cloak
#

If I recall from their documentation, usually they have a better visibility down than up

turbid drum
#

I moved it to about waist height, and it now detects all the way down the 14 foot hallway

ocean cloak
turbid drum
#

my first impression when I first got one was that it was garbage.

ocean cloak
#

That's the github issue adding support to it for Z2M. I wonder if this is a firmware/hardware issue or if it's a Z2M issue

turbid drum
#

then I read the manual

#

now I'm really happy

ocean cloak
#

The manual says to mount it lower as well?

turbid drum
#

from their documentation: (recommended height is 1.2m/3.94ft to 2.0m/6.56ft);

ocean cloak
#

I wonder why it's different than their normal motion sensor. I have another one mounted up about the same height and it has good range

turbid drum
#

don't take my word for it though... go try it out. 😉

turbid drum
ocean cloak
#

Yeah for sure, gotta find out where to put it since there's only a high shelf where it is now

#

Do you happen to have an FP1?

turbid drum
#

I used the stickers and the little stand it comes with to mount to the wall.

I do have 2 FP1's

ocean cloak
#

How are you liking them? I have one which I haven't been thrilled with. It seemed like it was going to be the silver bullet though

#

Do you have any mounting strategies for it?

turbid drum
#

they were/are a little finicky, but... on a day to day basis, they are pretty awesome

#

I painted mine black, and mounted on top of the tv frame.

ocean cloak
#

I've had it turn off if someone is laying on the couch. Sleeping and not

turbid drum
#

well... tbh though, why do you need the light on if you're sleeping? haha

ocean cloak
#

I'm trying a wall mount now for the first time so I'll see how it works. Oddly all of a sudden it seems like it's taking a while to deactivate. Before it was deactivating within like 5 seconds. It was unplugged for a while so I dunno if something changed there or if it's how I mounted it

#

Haha well also has turned off when just laying there on their phone

#

Where do you have the 2nd one mounted?

turbid drum
#

so... I have mine set as:

Approach Distance: Medium
Monitoring Mody: undirected
Motion Sensitivity: low

If you're having issues with it... leave the room and trigger the "Reset nopresence status" <-- this is your friend

#

I'm not 100% sure, but... from my reading and experience, that reset option seems to help "train" it to see what empty is

ocean cloak
#

Oh interesting. Thanks for the tip. I just thought of that as like resetting it to off

#

I have approach to medium, left/right and high sensitivity

#

Why do you have it set to low sense?

#

Also why undirected? I don't use directions yet, but it provides more info and I might make use of them in the future

turbid drum
#

if you have a smart tv in a room that you're in a lot, you can use it to help keep lights on too... I have a roku tv, so... I use roku tv on as a condition to turn off lights

turbid drum
#

Same with the sensitivity... I guess I just experimented with it until it was good. I use it in conjunction with the P1.
I setup a binary sensor group with a P1 and a FP1... when it is on - lights on...

#

P1 will detect much quicker than FP1, so use it to turn on
FP1 should detect presence much better, so... use it for turning off

ocean cloak
#

Yeah same deal

#

I can't tell if the reset is working. Should it turn off right away?

turbid drum
#

no

#

if you leave the room, and then do the reset... that can help it while trying to configure it...

#

there's lots of info about it out on the web

#

well... maybe not lots

#

my FP1 is mounted at about 6' high, aimed slightly down (monitoring a seating area).

#

covers most of my whole room

ocean cloak
#

Nice, it's seeming a lot more responsive now!

#

Btw the presence event is a lot more responsive than the occupancy sensor. At least in the mode I have it set to. It's on par with a typical PIR sensor

turbid drum
#

what do you mean?

ocean cloak
#

As it in activates before the occupancy status

turbid drum
#

ah, got ya

#

trial and error... just play around with it until it works for you. 🙂

ocean cloak
#

Sorry yeah I meant as a suggestion for you in case you didn't know

turbid drum
#

no need to apologize. I may end up using that.

ocean cloak
#

Since you said you're using the P1 as well.

turbid drum
#

playing with the mounting height really made a huge difference for me

ocean cloak
#

It's too bad the event entity doesn't have a device_class set cuz then it would automatically be picked up to act as a motion sensor it the room it's in

turbid drum
#

that image on page 3 indicates it's at 2meters from the floor

#

well... like I said... don't take my word for it. Try it out. But... my sensors do not suffer at all from range issues (anymore).

ocean cloak
#

Yeah but I mean where it is in it's environment shouldn't matter? Like if I flip it upside down then it should have better visibility upwards, no?

#

Yeah definitely gonna try your idea, appreciate the tip. Just saying that diagram is confusing

turbid drum
#

yeah... I read the manual to get useful info about it, then I just test it out until I understand it...

Off to dinner, good luck

Curious why my zigbee device visualization looks like this. The rectangle is my ConBee II stick, the red arrow points to an innr brand bulb (that I didn't realize was a router until just now), the green arrow points to a wired dimmer switch that I just installed.

qq for all you smarter people: just added a bunch of router's to my zigbee network and i see this number on the dotted line: https://imgur.com/a/UCtzsnQ

#

Can I rationalize that my Washer Vibration sensor has a 129 strength signal to my Hallway Pendant 3 and thus, it'll be 100% ok ?

#

are the 129 and 152 numbers on those dotted lines called "strength" ?

#

They have a much lower LQI (in the 60s-70s) - trying to understand which matters; the LQI or the connection to their router?

sour shadow
#

The LQI is just a vague hint, if your device works ignore the LQI. If the device doesn't work, ignore it too.

Sure you can, with ZHA (or Zigbee2MQTT) you can mix most brands

I should get all zigbee 3.0 devices??

There's a limit of 200 of them on a mesh, and not everything has a Zigbee 3.0 option, but IMO if you can then it's worth doing - at least for routers (all my router devices are Zigbee 3.0)
