Iss there a guide to build zigbee 3.0 hub

sour shadow
#

Well... yes, but no

#

You don't build "a hub", but you can connect a Zigbee 3.0 coordinator to Home Assistant (for ZHA) or Zigbee2MQTT, and then that becomes your "hub"

vale lion
#

So coordinator is aquara hub? Or i can build a raspberry device??

sour shadow
#

No, not the hub

rapid dawnBOT
#

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

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

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

sour shadow
#

Coordinator: Typically a USB stick, but may be a network connected device. It's the radio device that talks Zigbee to the Zigbee devices. Your mesh has exactly one of these.
Router: Most mains powered Zigbee devices will route traffic for other devices (and themselves). You need a number of these.
End device: All battery powered devices are end devices, they spend most of their life asleep. Some mains powered devices are also end devices - Sengled bulbs for instance.

I am also using socket from Sonoff with usb dongle 3.0 and zigbee2mqtt and they went offline ?

vale lion
#

Ah i see, so what the raspberry device for?? To connect HA?

#

I dont know if i can buy usb stick in my country

sour shadow
#

You can import a CC2652 to most countries

vale lion
#

Ahh i need a Pi to plug the usb in right?

sour shadow
#

No

#

You need ... whatever you're running HA on

vale lion
#

I found sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb

sour shadow
#

There's a few versions of that, but they all work with ZHA

#

The P (CC2652) version works with Zigbee2MQTT and ZHA

lusty trench
#

Anyone knows why all my Sonoff sockets went offline ? Running on zigbee dongle 3.0 and mq2tt.

sour shadow
#

Usually it means they're not connected to the mesh any more - there are many possible reasons but the most likely one is that they can't reach any working routers (or the coordinator)

lusty trench
#

That’s weird cuz of them is just next to coordinator and all my temp sensor works

sour shadow
#
  1. You picked a Zigbee channel other than the default?
  2. You picked the channel having done a scan of the active WiFi?
  3. You've got the coordinator on a USB extension cable?
lusty trench
#
  1. Didn’t change anything they worked fine for few weeks.
  2. Didn’t change anything
  3. Yes
sour shadow
#

So... no, and no

#

The default channel in Z2M is typically a really bad choice

vale lion
lusty trench
sour shadow
sour shadow
#

The channel you should use depends on what WiFi is in use around you. It's probably going to be one of 15, 20, or 25, but ... I don't have access to your house

#

(and yes, you'll need to re-pair)

lilac wharf
#

Possibly. Many devices do scan other channels for the same panID

lusty trench
#

Isn’t that weird that only one kind of device y went offline ? The routers not end devices ?

lilac wharf
#

Not really

sour shadow
#

End devices, by default, take about 25 hours to go offline, routers take 10 minutes

lusty trench
#

So changing channel that for sure will do that, how about ext pan ID all of them are sit to 221 is that ok ?

Having weird issues with zigbee home assistant:

  • RPi 3, HA docker install
  • Sonoff ZBDongle-P (TI CC2652)
  • SNZB-02 temperature humidity sensors
    I got everything set up and working, sensors paired via the web UI at one house. I then moved everything to a different house, and the sensors were no longer working, and I couldn't pair to new sensors either. I click "Add device" under the Integrations->ZHA->Configure menu, and it searches endlessly but never finds the devices (even when they're in pairing mode).
    Under "logs" in ZHA it only shows:
[0x0000:zdo] ZDO request ZDOCmd.Mgmt_Permit_Joining_rsp: [<Status.SUCCESS: 0>]
[0x0000:zdo] No handler for ZDO request:ZDOCmd.Mgmt_Permit_Joining_rsp([<Status.SUCCESS: 0>])```. I've tried moving my ZigBee antenna further away from my wifi hotspot (the Pi is on wired ethernet) but no success. The Zigbee network is on channel 15. I'm not sure what my home wifi channel is, if it could be conflicting.

Any further troubleshooting steps I can try?

#

@austere patio I moved the Pi as well - it's the same computer as when it was working in the previous house

austere patio
#

Do you have any routing devices, or just a coordinator and sensors?

wooden pasture
#

No other ZigBee devices yeah.

austere patio
#

They shouldn't disconnect from the mesh if they've been offline for a while but you never know. Move the Sonoff stick onto a USB extension cable and take the batteries out of the sensors for a bit. They should either re-join automatically or after you put them into joining mode.

wooden pasture
#

I think I had tried that (minus the USB extension cable) - took the batteries out, put them back in and they didn't reconnect. I deleted the paired device in ZHA and couldn't re-pair them. I even tried a brand new one that I hadn't paired before, that didn't get picked up.

austere patio
#

Joining in Zigbee works in the opposite direction: the network is opened for joins, and the devices try to join. If the sensor in any way tried to join the network, you'd see something in the log.

wooden pasture
#

My 2.4GHz wifi is on Ch11 - I'm going to see which zigbee channel that equates to

austere patio
#

It'd be on the other side of the spectrum, near 25

wooden pasture
austere patio
wooden pasture
#

To do that from Home Assistant, I'd open a shell inside the Docker container?

austere patio
#

Yeah, disable ZHA, enter the Docker container, and pip install ... the package from its Git repo

wooden pasture
austere patio
#

That would match your 2.4GHz WiFi being on channel 11

wooden pasture
#

I notice I can do permit with zigpy to allow sensors to join - where would it display logs if sensors did join the network?

austere patio
#

The zigpy command does the same thing as ZHA's "Add Devices". You'd see logs if you run the zigpy command with -vvv for debug logging.

wooden pasture
#

Okay thanks, I'll give that a go in a bit!

I have an IKEA remote switch (the one with 2 buttons "I" and "O"). It is connected trough a bulb. I noticed that the two times that I had to unplug that bulb for a while, batteries went dead. Is this some know issue with those remotes?

lusty trench
#

tried to change channel on zigbee2mqtt restarted lost connection to the addon but for somereason devices still works? how is that possible?

sour shadow
#

Did you check the log file for Z2M

lusty trench
#

says only about that sockets that lost connections, I cannot start addon thast only useful i think: genBasic(["zclVersion"], {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":true,"disableDefaultResponse":true,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Data request failed with error: 'No network route' (205)))

all the logs are about failing to ping sockets

actually logs in config are different

but devices like temp. sensors or even hue ligts still works ? even with addon off? how come

Well, it must be running

Or at least, you have something running that's handling those devices

thats so weird, the all connected via zigbee donlge 3.0 and run by zigbe2mqtt but cannot access the zigbe2mqtt now

mellow geode
#

currently diagnosing an issue where every couple of a days, a NWK conflict for one device is reported on an EZSP coordinator.
Before migrating, I never noticed an issue with my CC2652 coordinator. But does zigpy-znp even handle NWK conflicts or does Z-Stack do it?
bellows seems to force all the devices with the conflicting NWK ids to leave/rejoin (in my case apparently always one device only), but I didn't find where zigpy-znp handles NWK conflicts (if it even does)

Hi all! Don't know if this is the proper chat to ask this. Since HA moved the mosqutto MQTT settings from the config file, my light switches have stopped reporting state. (when I press the physical switch, the lights react, but I don't get a MQTT mesage any more). I can still controll them from automations but I can't trigger an automation from a physical press. Has anyone encountered the same issue? It was working fine before

sour shadow
#

Are you using Zigbee2MQTT?

shadow gorge
#

yep

#

all devices are zigbee

sour shadow
#

Those two statements don't tie up

#

Either you're using Zigbee2MQTT with zigbee devices, or ... you're using Z-Wave

shadow gorge
#

oh. sorry, zigbee ☺️

#

Go there, subscribe to # and go interact with one of your devices

The next thing to do is check that Z2M has Homeassistant enabled, and the HA has MQTT Discovery enabled

#

ok... where do I check that?

sour shadow
#

Which "that"?

shadow gorge
#

check that Z2M has Homeassistant enabled, and the HA has MQTT Discovery enabled

#

Im mosty curious about MQTT discovery. but all other devices work fine

sour shadow
#

Z2M... check it's frontend

#

HA, check the configuration of the MQTT integration

shadow gorge
#

it's just the switches that don't seem to send messages, or the message has changed

#

both are ok, up and running

sour shadow
#

And Z2M has HomeAssistant enabled?

#

HA has MQTT Discovery enabled?

shadow gorge
#

I suppose, but how can I verify it?

#

If I enroll a new device I can see it in HA, I can also controll it from HA and Z2M

sour shadow
#

Once more, which it

shadow gorge
#

same for the switch

#

both 😄

#

lets start with Z2M

sour shadow
shadow gorge
#

frontend is on

sour shadow
shadow gorge
#

ok, but what do you mean by check its frontend. I have no issue with the Z2M frontend. So is there a setting in the frontend? Sorry if I dont understand

sour shadow
#

check that Z2M has Homeassistant enabled

#

You do that in Z2M's frontend

#

Or look at the YAML

shadow gorge
#

I cant paste an image but I have in the "HA integration" tab, HA (advanced) and HA discovery topic as "homeassistant", and status topic "hass/status"

sour shadow
#

And Discovery is enabled?

shadow gorge
#

I can't see a setting for enabling/disablig it

sour shadow
#

Under Advanced

shadow gorge
#

where did you find that? Im lookin in the Z2M gui in HA ->Settings->Home assistant Integration (also looked under Advanced there)

sour shadow
#

That's in HA's UI

#

HA has MQTT Discovery enabled

shadow gorge
#

under the Mosquitto broker settings?

#

I had this before in my configuration.yaml
mqtt:
discovery: true
discovery_prefix: homeassistant

but had to remove it/comment it out since HA moved the MQTT config to some other place, and this broke my whole setup

#

I don't know where they have moved it now. but I can't find that setting anywhere, where in HA can you see that?

simple sentinel
#

The MQTT integration's third or so page when you do reconfigure has that setting

#

The last one that has a Submit button, in stead of Next

shadow gorge
#

thanks! found it. I ran the re-configuration. lets see if that did the tric

#

yes! thank you so much!

Setup HA with Zigbee2Mqtt and it works nice 🙂 Just a minor thing, what is the best-practise. Rename the device in zigbee2mqtt to some friendly name? Or just rename it in HA itself?

any ideas why i cannot start zigbe2mqtt add-on? After clicking START nothing happens doesnt even look like its trying to start, nothing in logs

So i have noticed that the other day that all my zigbee stuff is now not working in HA. I'm using Zigbee2Mqtt running on a separate raspberry pi (as the usb ports on HA Blue died). The same pi runs Zwave2Mqtt which those devices show up just fine. the problem is that the zigbee stuff is not being found. Also everything works fine in the Zigbee2Mqtt interface.

Make a file called gpiod.py in the current folder, it should fix that error

#

It should, yes

#

But Windows isn't a platform I've tested, the package should only work in theory. I can make a new release in a bit but there's something strange happening with the stick to begin with, if it disconnects from the computer and you can't communicate reliably with it.

That's progress. What happens if you try it again (without unplugging the stick)?

Try adding --probe-method ezsp before --device

#

Hmm. I'll have to get a Sonoff stick to try this myself. I think you can get it to work by doing whatever you did the first time (did you press the bootloader button? unplug/re-plug it?) and then run it with --probe-method bootloader instead. For some reason the stick cannot be reset properly from its normal firmware and reboots instead. You may also have to add --force at the end.

# austere patio Hmm. I'll have to get a Sonoff stick to try this myself. I think you can get it ...

Okay here's a more clear explanation:

hello guys,
I have a problem regarding Zigbee2MQTT. I want to enable availability for my devices, but everything I tried failed. I followed this guide (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/device-availability.html), trying every combination possible, reloading the device and the whole HA each time, but, in the Zigbee2MQTT page, I still see "availability" as disabled.
thank you in advance

Also my Ikea styrbar remote checkin event was fired

#

Hey is it spamming?

#

Why

worn turret
#

I've been reading already lots of posts and issues about it, but I have annoying issue with ZHA and ZigBee groups: when I turn a group off, sometimes one of the lights stays in on state even though it turns off correctly. this makes the whole group to stay in on state, and if you use adaptive lightning, it will happily turn the group on again in the next cycle

#

what is the correct way to debug this issue and maybe fix it?

#

conbee 2 as a bridge

#

didn't have this issue with the hue bridge

#

would make sense maybe for the integration to check did the group actually turn off, and retry if needed

Hi :) i am new to home assistant. I installed it on a thin client and it works fine. Now i need a zigbee usb stick. So i found two from Sonoff. One with -P and one with -E.
I was looking for differences. But I haven't really figured it out. Yes, the two have different chips. And yours with -E is newer?
Is supported by some platforms only experimentally.
For me, only Homeassistant is important. I don't need anything special. Later I want to use n8n or node-red.
It is important for me that the connection is stable and has a good range.
Is the -E version better? Or is it better to use the -P version.
I use the homeassistant operating system.

The power consumption would also be interesting.

Light-link reset does not work since the network conflicts somehow get the bulb to go directly outside it’s lightlink windows of 30 minutes.

Doesn't that reset after a power cycle?

#

Power cycling does not seem to reset it. 😕

austere patio
#

I think you can also just remove the device from ZHA, it leaving a network should reset it without the need for a remote

quick hare
#

Yes that works but I want to keep the device ID when I rejoin it for my automations.

I tried your service call but I get Unknown error.

I can see the option reset_to_factory_new in the LightLink cluster. I wonder if that could work. It ask for a inter_pan_transaction_id.

Is there a better zigbee/zwave combo controller out there?

tropic depot
#

in walt's repo

ancient sigil
#

LOL, dont mean to be a pest, but any good guides out there on how to flash a new firmware to this thing

so far its been working out of the box for 2 years so I haven't had to really mess with it too much

#

is deconz not a thing anymore?

austere patio
#

It is

ancient sigil
#

is it easy to migrate from zha to deconz

#

I guess deconz you can change the channel from the webgui

austere patio
#

deCONZ doesn't work with anything but a Conbee. The method I had in mind works, you don't need to update the firmware. You will, however, have to use the community SSH & Web Terminal addon (not the Terminal & SSH addon!).

ancient sigil
#

can you paste the link to that method?

austere patio
#

There's no published guide 😆

ancient sigil
#

this one?

austere patio
#

No need to update the firmware

ancient sigil
#

oh haha

#

Ha found your changing the zigbee channel post from 2021

austere patio
#

That's probably way out of date. There's a new method that's no more complicated but it's still a WIP, so no guide.

#

How are you running Home Assistant? Can you install the SSH & Web Terminal addon or are you running it in with Docker?

ancient sigil
#

I am running hasos on a VM within unraid.. I installed the SSH & web terminal community addon and its up and running

#

OS 9.3 and Core 2022.11.5

austere patio
#

First, disable ZHA. Make sure you disable Protection mode in the addon config as well and restart it. Once you log into the shell, run docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash to get into the HA Docker container.

ancient sigil
#

Disabling is through the intergrations page, "hubz smart home controller..."

#

?

austere patio
#

Yes, it's a red button above "Delete"

ancient sigil
#

done and done

#

hold on...

#

gotta disable protection mode

#

okay done done and done

austere patio
#

Once you're logged into the HA container, run pip install git+https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-cli. Since you're already changing the channel, may as well pick a good one. Run ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/ to find your HUSBZB-1's Zigbee port. zigpy -v radio ezsp /dev/serial/by-id/nameofthatport energy-scan will run a scan until you Ctrl-C to exit.

ancient sigil
#

silly question, how do yo ucopy and past in the ssh & web terminal

#

zigpy -v radio ezsp /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_labs_HubZ_Smart_home_Controller_41500BE5-if001 energy-scan spit out a ton of errors

austere patio
#

There would be two serial ports: one for the Zigbee half, and one for the Z-Wave half

#

just sent you a screen shot

For those more in the know than I am, I have Home Assistant setup and use Inteon and Zwave mostly. I would like to add some Aqara Motion sensors so I need Zigbee. Would I be better off getting the Aqara Version 2 hub or the SonOff Zigbee 3 usb stick. What would I gain or lose?

austere patio
silk gull
austere patio
#

The Aqara hub will support Aqara devices out-of-the-box more quickly than ZHA (or Z2M) but you won't be able to use other types of devices with it very easily (if at all)

and I use a zigbee controller

jade mirage

20 hours fighting with sonoff

So it's the VM it seems, not the hardware

could pass conbee to docker, so it should work

#

Okay so I will get the Sonoff or is there another stick I should look at?

jade mirage
#

which says it is trying to be a conbee?

austere patio
# jade mirage which says it is trying to be a conbee?

No. When you set up ZHA with a serial port, it just asks you for the port. ZHA then tries to connect to it with every known radio driver: EZSP, ZNP, deCONZ, etc. Yours is failing to respond to the probing with the EZSP radio type, so ZHA moves on to the next one, and the next one, and so on. The problem is that it's not responding.

jade mirage
#

but it works fine on windows/virtualbox

#

there needs to be a [-justsf*ckingwork] flag

austere patio
#

Right. ZHA doesn't know about what your operating system is, it just connects to the serial port. If that doesn't work, it's not something you can fix from inside the VM. It's a problem with how the port is being passed through.

jade mirage
#

well, the test /dev/ttyACM0 && success | fail returns sucess

#

is. there a tool i can troubleshoot with?

austere patio
#

test -w just tests that you can write to the file. That doesn't really mean it's a functional serial port. Have you ever been able to talk to serial devices within the HA installation you're trying to connect a USB device to?

jade mirage
#

yes... was previously using ZHA with a conbee II

austere patio
#

Hold on. Are you setting up ZHA anew? Or did you pass through the serial port again with the same name?

jade mirage
#

all I did is swap the the /by-id/ name to the sonoff

austere patio
#

Ahhh. That's the problem. So you had /dev/serial/by-id/conbee:/dev/ttyACM0 and you changed the by-id part to point to the Sonoff?

jade mirage
#

yes

#

should I make it point to ttyACM1 and piunt?

austere patio
#

No, just let ZHA fail to start up and click on "Configure" and then "Migrate Radio". It will then ask if you want to re-configure the serial port, or migrate to a new radio.

jade mirage
#

it isn't getting that far

#

it fails during the onboarding of the ZHA

silk gull
#

Thanks @ancient sigil and @austere patio I have ordered the Sonoff for my HA install and a few of the motion sensors to get started.

austere patio
jade mirage
#

one sec

silk gull
#

On more question if I can, ZHA or MQTT for Zigbee?

#

Or is that a GMC vs Chevrolet type argument?

lilac wharf
#

Personal preference really

simple sentinel
#

some of us use z2m cause we restart HA a lot during nobbing about, and not having the z2m reboot needlessly is balm to the soul

lilac wharf
#

To be fair, the zigbee network doesn't go down and back up when you restart HA if you're using ZHA

#

But I do like the decoupled aspect of z2m (and I like MQTT in general)

silk gull
#

Okay cool. Thanks.

remote patio
#

what would make a better coordinator? The Sonoff ZBDongle-E or the zzh Electrolama?

lilac wharf
#

That Sonoff adapter is a bad choice for z2m but would work well with ZHA. The ZZH is a good choice for either z2m or ZHA

remote patio
#

what makes the sonoff a bad choice for z2m? is it just not yet well supported? And how about as a router. Is there even a router firmware for the ezsp?

lilac wharf
#

EZSP-based adapters like the Sonoff E only have experimental support with z2m. There is an EZSP router firmware, yes

remote patio
#

is the sonoff ezsp any different to the official home assistant zigbee adapter in terms of capability and functionality?

lilac wharf
#

Pretty sure it's the same Zigbee chipset, but I don't know if the zigbee/thread firmware that Nabu Casa claims to be developing would work on it

remote patio
#

I have the ConBee II, 5 x ZBDongle-P, 4 x ZBDongle-E and the zzh. As well as that little adapter that everyone got back in the day when they were starting with zigbee. Now my problem is figuring out which one to use as coordinator (would it make sense to have multiple zigbee networks?) and where to put routers.

nova flint
#

The Sonoff ZBDongle-E is running the EFR32MG21 chipset, NC SkyConnect runs the same one. So technically, there shouldn't be any issues with firmware compatibility between those. Unless the USB to UART bridge (CP2102N in SkyConnect, CH9102F in Sonoff) causes issues

molten linden
#

The efr32 module in the sonoff-e is the same one they’ve been using since the Wi-Fi bridge

#

The mgm210 module in the yellow/sky connect (my efr32 coords) is a better overall chip

jade mirage
#

still fighting the #BattleOfZigbee

dull grotto
remote patio
nova flint
#

Ah, right. There's like 12 slightly different versions of the EFR32MG21 😄 With and without Secure Vault, flash between 512 and 1024, RAM from 64 to 96, wildly different cryptography supports, different peak output powers.. 😄

lilac wharf
molten linden
#

This is the module on the -e (as read from my j-link debugger)

unknown.jpg
nova flint
#

That would be the bottom tier EFR32 as far as cryptographic capabilities go, apparently. No secure vault, but 64 kB RAM and 768 kB flash

remote patio
#

and the SkyConnect? I see more zigbee adapters in my future :/

molten linden
#

here's the mgm210 modules I use and similar to the yellow. the skyconnect uses the same chip but not in a si-labs made module.

#

(fun fact the inovelli switches use the same module as the sonoff -e)

dull grotto
#

Might just buy a slightly more expensive sensor in hopes it works better

remote patio
#

I got the sonoff temperature and humidity sensors.. I think I read something about a better firmware being available for them?

#

I hate how hard it is to open the battery compartment. The xiaomi sensors were ideal with the twist on/off system. awesome for mounting.

#

so sonoff provides the ezsp router firmware themselves.. not too excited about that

#

what the hell is Xmodem(N)?

molten linden
#

xmodem is used to flash the efr32 firmware via the bootloader.

remote patio
#

but it wants xmodem(n) not xmodem

#

I'm old enough to have used xmodem back before zmodem

molten linden
#

(I think it can flash the router, I think I used j-link so idk for sure)

remote patio
#

what is j-link? I've got so many programmers now I've lost track

#

in fact I have literally not been able to find some of them

austere patio
#

So if it's running coordinator firmware, it'll work

molten linden
#

they have boot button

remote patio
#

"Dongle Enter Bootloader Mode. Keep pressing the Boot button, restart the device, and release the Boot button after Dongle
enters the serial port Bootloader"

same as the -P

but it looks like it gives a menu

molten linden

gecko bootloader

austere patio
#

Yeah, if it starts printing C over and over you just start the XMODEM transfer

guess I'll find out if there is something different between xmodem and xmodem(n)

I take it the Universal Silicon Labs Flasher doesn't take into account the gecko bootloader?

molten linden

it does - it just does it for you

ah ok.. even easier then

Hi i just bought 5 ikea shortcut buttons for an elderly to use when seeking assistance. i paired them to Z2M coordinator 5cm away. i have many aqara light switches. after pairing, the buttons roam to a light switch then on press they control that light switch. each button roams to a different router/repeater switch. annoying - how can i prevent that.

hi, question
i was wondering,
so i have sonoff zigbee switch and ikea tradfri button,

rightnow i connect those device via zigbee2mqtt

then if i want to make the sonoff switch work when ikea button pressed, what i do is i setup automation in HA,
if button pressed then switch the sonoff..

what im wondering is that, is it possible to bypass the HA and zigbee2mqtt for this?

My ZigBee network has been out of commission for weeks I think the only thing left to do now is change my network key to force everything to depair then try to repair it all by allowing everything to everything instead of optimising the routers

which firmware is best to use on the CC2531?

sour shadow
#

For what? As a router, or a coordinator?

#

It's a really shit coordinator

remote patio
#

coordinator.. but it's not for me.. I'm giving it to someone to just try zigbee

#

they're going to have no more than a few devices and none of them will be far from the coordinator

sour shadow
#

It's shit, really shit, you're likely to make them hate Zigbee

remote patio
#

I started with it.. it was fine

#

but then I got a lot of zigbee devices

sour shadow
#

Just ... be sure to warn them that it's likely to simply lock up on them and stop working

remote patio
#

supposed to be more stable

sour shadow
#

Zigbee 3.0 firmwares are not recommended for the CC2530 and CC2531 (since those are not powerful enough)

Hi, I'm using zigbee2mqtt add-on since a while. And since few days, I have issues with some Philips Hue Motion sensors. I have exactly the same devices (model and firmware) reporting exactly the same occupancy information in z2m but one of them is reporting it correctly in HA and the other one shows "unknown" (the misbehaving one is reporting correctly the temperature and the battery status).
here is the message on my mqtt broker from one of the motion sensors reporting "unknown" for occupancy:
Info 2022-12-07 16:24:16MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/Hue Sensor Garage', payload '{"battery":50,"illuminance":423,"illuminance_lux":1,"led_indication":null,"linkquality":90,"motion_sensitivity":"high","occupancy":false,"occupancy_timeout":0,"temperature":16.33,"update":{"installed_version":"6.1.1.27575","state":"idle"},"update_available":false}'
And here is one from a functioning one

#

I also had "unknown" status with all my TRVs' climates. I had to manually change their mode to make them appear correctly in HA.

shadow orchid
#

So are the Ikea zigbee bulbs the best zigbee bulb option...?

sour shadow
#

There's no universal "best" anything

#

They're reasonably good CCT bulbs, not sure about the RGB side of them. Not as good as Hue, but a lot cheaper

shadow orchid
#

maybe i just gotta bite the bullet and get hue...

sour shadow
#

Innr are good too

shadow orchid
#

you have some?

sour shadow
#

No, but others have praised them

shadow orchid
#

I'd have to pair it to my SmartThings hub?

sour shadow
#

Nobody in this channel has time for that junk

shadow orchid
#

😳

#

it says hub required and lists smartthings so idk

sour shadow
#

Smart people don't use branded hubs, they pick a suitable Zigbee coordinator and use ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT

shadow orchid
#

well im still new to all this so my b

#

got a link to a good "zigbee coordinator"?

sour shadow
#

I will say that the pinned messages have a lot of useful things

#

But, to save you scrolling right now ...

rapid dawnBOT
#

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

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

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

#

Good thing I have a spare extension that just came with my dash cam then

#

I dont know if its usb 2 or usb 3 though..

shouldn't matter if it's plugged into a USB 2.0 port

shadow orchid
#

I have usb 3 ports available

lilac wharf
#

oof

shadow orchid
#

whys that an oof

lilac wharf
#

usb 3.0 can interfere with zigbee. i think it's still better if it's on an extension cable though

shadow orchid
#

Oh

#

I guess ill use 2.0 with the extension then..?

lilac wharf
#

that is ideal

#

i thought you were saying you only have usb 3.0 ports available but now i see that i interpreted that incorrectly

shadow orchid
#

nah

#

I have both

lilac wharf
#

then the lamp likely isn't in pairing mode or is out of range of the coordinator or nearest zigbee router

shadow orchid
#

I wish I could post images here

lilac wharf
#

you'd likely be better off with a CC2652-based stick unless you want to use deconz

shadow orchid
#

I dont know what either of those things mean

lilac wharf
#

deconz is zigbee software

#

you'll want to decide if you want to use ZHA, zigbee2mqtt, or deconz and then pick your zigbee adapter from there

#

deconz is generally not recommended as it's closed source and development is slow

shadow orchid
#

rip

#

What should I use then? I want features

lilac wharf
shadow orchid
#

How do I decide?

#

I dont know what either of them do lol

lilac wharf
#

check out the links for each in the channel topic

#

in short...
ZHA: built in to home assistant. updates to ZHA depend on updates to home assistant (including device support). no official supported devices list because ZHA assumes all devices follow the zigbee spec, and if they do, they'll work automatically. if not, a "quirk" needs to be written for it.
zigbee2mqtt: decoupled from home assistant. updates to zigbee2mqtt do not depend on updates to home assistant. there is an official supported devices list because zigbee2mqtt requires support to be added explicitly for each device

#

i prefer zigbee2mqtt because i like that it's decoupled from HA but still integrates with it (and I like MQTT in general)

shadow orchid
#

Ill use that one then

#

Linus used it in his last video so it must be decent

lilac wharf
#

i would not rely on linus as a source lol

shadow orchid
lilac wharf
#

you'll want to go with one of the CC2652-based options

shadow orchid
lilac wharf
#

another cheaper CC2652-based option is the sonoff zigbee 3.0 dongle plus, but if you're planning on using zigbee2mqtt then you'll want to get the P version, not the E. it's also apparently prone to a rare bug where its NVRAM gets corrupted, so keep that in mind

If you get it without ethernet, it's not much more than the sonoff.

What would be the advantage of the ethernet?

I figured they were a USB device only

molten linden

no worry about vm passthrough

#

allows for placing elswere

shadow orchid
#

Oh interesting..

#

So it would just show up in HA without being passed through the VM?

molten linden
#

serial over tcp

#

home assistant will discover it for ZHA, or for Zigbee2MQTT you specify ip:port as the device path in the config

shadow orchid
#

nice. Might have to do the ethernet version then.

molten linden
#

I use them

#

my opinion on bulbs: Tier 1: Hue, Tier 2: Innr GAP Tier 3: Ikea and Gledpoto ... everything else.

#

Think your antenna would be able to get through my metal enclosed network cabinet?

#

My first bulb would be like 10 ft away

molten linden
#

maybe but would not advise it.

shadow orchid
#

Alright, id prob have to run an ethernet and usb outside of my enclosure then

molten linden
#

🤔 buy a SMA extension and put the antenna on the outside. but loss from the cable might be an issue

#

if using ethernet for the connection, usb is only power.

shadow orchid
#

gotcha..

#

I probably wouldn't even need an extension if I use a rear USB port on the server

Hi guys. This morning I woke up and literally as I stepped out of bed I knew my ZigBee network was down (LEDs under the bed didn't turn on lol). I am actually used to having some instabilities with some sensors just disconnecting sometimes and lights being slow at times. I jjust thought that might be my network since everybody else was going on about how rock solid ZigBee is for them. So today I found out my cc2531 just decided to crash. Unplugging it from the USBB extension cord and plugging it back in, restarting Zigbee2MQTT did the trick. Now I read that the cc2531 is no longer recommended.
QUESTION: will my issues get better when upgrading for instance to a Sonoff 3.0 USB Dongele Plus?

shadow orchid
#

All I know is the description of this says "Just don't buy anything CC2530 or CC2531 based."

I heard its because they are slow and crash

No, you won't need to re-pair your devices. Check the readme for the Z-Stack firmware to see which firmware is correct for your adapter

So thanks to the new migrate radio feature I decided to try to upgrade the radio from the first gen conbee usb stick to the Sonoff "ZBDongle-P" (based on CC2652P). Everything seemed to work at first, but I quickly noticed that my ikea on-off remote could now only last one day with a new battery. I don't have that many c2032 batteries left so I'd like some advice what I could try next. I upgraded the firmware of the sonoff stick to the latest from Koenkk (CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219) before using the stick at all so that's the only firmware I've tried.

I tried using the CONFIG_MAX_END_DEVICE_CHILDREN: 0 setting in the HA config but it didn't make any difference. Could it be the migrate feature that is confusing the remote? Should I repair it? Each try is costing me a battery so I'd appreciate some advice.

#

would the skyconnect be better than the zzh in terms of signal strength? given that it doesn't have an external antenna

sour shadow
#

No

jolly narwhal
#

Also with modern cc2652 firmware you can increase the signal strength by up to +20db afaik

#

not that I've needed to, the tube poe coordinator reaches enough devices on it's own

tacit siren
#

Hey folks. I need some help with an issue I'm having. I'm using ZHA with the Tubes CC2652P2 based Zigbee to USB Serial Coordinator and, while my zigbee network generally seems to be working fine, I can't seem to discover / pair devices - including devices that were already on my network.

I'm not really sure how long this has been an issue. For months, I've been fighting with some Ikea Shortcut buttons, but I believe those are generally pretty finicky anyways. What's really odd is that they used to at least get discovered and initiate the interview process, but that doesn't even seem to happen anymore.

The issue really became obvious for me when my Aqara temperature sensor fell off the network recently and I was unable to re-pair it. And to confirm the issue, I put one of my Aqara light switches back into pairing mode and now it's not discovered either.

That's all I know. I'm no Zigbee expert, so I'm not really even sure how to troubleshoot the issue. So, any advice or input would be greatly appreciated.

sour shadow
#

First thing to do is check what firmware version is on the coordinator, and update it if required

#

I'd suggest the latest dev version, which is stable and performs better than the latest "stable" version

#

There is a bug with very old versions of the coordinator firmware (2020<something> I think) where it'd not allow joining via a router

tacit siren
#

That tracks... I've never actually been able to get that to work.

It still has the original firmware that was shipped with it just under a year ago. I'll try and see if I can figure out what version that is.

sour shadow
#

Well, it's old enough that it's time to update anyway

#

The only question is whether it's old enough to have that bug, in which case you're in for a bit of pain

#

The solution to it is to remove every router device, restart, and then pair them again

tacit siren
#

I only have 18 devices in total (including the coordinator) and only 4 routers... Not the world's biggest issue.

tacit siren
#

Okay, I feel dumb... I don't see the firmware in the HA UI and can't seem to figure out where to find it. I guess I'll just try updating it.

Hey, I am trying to bind my smoke detector directly to my plug to turn off my 3d printer in case of.. smoke 🙂

In the binding screen, this does not seem possible. Does this happen because the smoke detector does not support binding? I only see the zigbee coordinator in the list of bindable devices.

But again I’d look for new sources of interference. A fw update isn’t going to magically fix that

tacit siren
#

Well, shoot... I was hoping for a quick fix.

RF interference was my first thought. I'm just not sure how best to troubleshoot and confirm that. As I said, the network as a whole seems to be fairly sturdy and the devices I can move don't seem to get picked up, even when they are very near the coordinator.

Any advice?

molten linden
#

move the coordinator a bit few feet or so. see if things change. how many of the current devices are routers (generally mains powered not sengled)

devout lance
#

i have ikea blinds connected to a sonoff zigbee hub but i can only make them go up and stop why?

tacit siren
molten linden
#

I should have been more specific, the sengled bulbs don't route, the newer plug with energy monitoring does, and works well in my experience with them.

#

if you go to the one of the plugs, that is near the device you are now trying to add and attempt to add just through the plug.

tacit siren
#

I can try again later tonight when I'm home, but as I mentioned earlier, I've never been able to get that to work with any of my devices. They all seem to eventually connect to an appropriate router after they're paired, but I've never succeeded at getting a device to pair through a specific router. That's why the firmware bug Tinkerer mentioned earlier kinda resonated with me.

ping me tonight. you can do the FW update as well. - Also a new ESPhome FW for the esp32 will likely make the cc2652 update smoother.

the issue is one of the temp sensor is right on the edge battery going down , so added a s26 thinking it would jump to it, as its obviously closer and stronger signal

#

both temp and power socket are both SONOFF

lilac wharf
#

then wait for the temp sensor to (possibly) reroute, or unpair and re-pair it

novel turtle
#

can I re-pair it using the add device on the socket ? as I see an option in the three dots on the s26 socket to Add device via this device

#

I tried and it never seems to see anything

ginna try delete the back door and see where it connects as the s26 socket is way closer

How tro force an update of zigbe2mqtt in HA. I have 1.18, need 1.28, autoupdate does not work ... 🤔

thorn kelp
#

Trying to understand why my Zigbee devices aren't sending back Temperature data after initial pairing... It appears as though whatever temp value was reported at pairing is what it continues to report forever..never changing.

The devices (Smartthings branded Zigbee) vary; motion, water, contact) but are all the same brand (Smartthings/Samjin).

novel turtle
#

@thorn kelp give it some time, then if it doesnt change just resync it without deleteing it

#

re-add it I mean, I have had that happen with some of mine,

thorn kelp
novel turtle
#

go to zha and re-add it

#

it will pick up the name you have already given it, you just need to assign the room

thorn kelp
#

Oddly other entities on the same device are working fine. Motion sensors still detect motion (etc)

novel turtle
#

I had this happen with temp, humidity was fine

#

temp just would not change

#

but I am having other issues with my setup, I can seem to get the wall plugs to extend the zigbee network

#

I wish there was a reset button to force the whole network to rebuild

thorn kelp
#

zwave has that i believe, haven't found the zigbee equivilent.

novel turtle
#

my impressions of zigbee so far is once setup up, pray nothing changes

#

and its not as if I have a lot of devices on the zigbee eithe

thorn kelp
#

I've never had issues with zwave stuff but the downside is it's generally more expensive, less OEMs making stuff for it, and due to local radio laws there's no universal frequency(meaning multiple SKUs and increased costs)

#

I just setup door sensors this morning that i bought for like $8 each. zwave would be like 4x that or more

novel turtle
#

yep thats why I went zigbee

#

but I am starting to think it may be better going wifi

#

at least you can extend the network and make sure the device connects to it, here is like press sync, and pray

thorn kelp
#

personally i only use wifi as a last resort.

#

from a foil-hat POV, i don't want shady IOT shit with direct access to my network (yes you can mitigate it, but it's work)

#

wifi needs more power so battery solutions are less attractive

#

and anecdotally without any data to support it, zigbee stuff is more reliable than wifi

novel turtle
#

but seriously why has no one even worked on a better way to resync a zigbee network

#

I have been told "ohhh in time it find the best route"

thorn kelp
#

apparently zigbee2mqtt has more robust management options, may start researching that today.

novel turtle
#

nahhhhh I still have a few sensors that take the 2nd furthest away router

#

yeah but that means re doing all the zigbee stuff

#

I wanted to keep it as much out of the box as possible

thorn kelp
thorn kelp
#

i stayed on smartthings for far too long out of laziness and not wanting to put in the work for HA

novel turtle
#

I dont think there is much interest in zigbee

shadow orchid
#

it seems like there is a ton to me

novel turtle
#

not the base system

#

I cant get a sensor connected to a router socket thats literally next to it, instead it triesd to connect to the main co-ordinator and disconnects all the time

novel turtle
#

I have the sonoff usb stick

#

works good and easy setup, just plug in and boom

#

got this sat in my system running vmware haos image

shadow orchid
#

so whats wrong with it

novel turtle
#

I have temp sensors and door sensors that wont connect to the nearest router

#

I bought the s26 as its a zigbee router (extender) and its not extending

#

I dont know if there is a config you need to tell it, hey this is a router

#

in ZHA documentation

Binding a remote directly to a bulb or group has the benefit of faster response time and smoother control. This greatly improves user feedback experience functions like dimming as the remote then directly dims the lightbulb and thus does not have to make the software roundtrip via the ZHA coordinator.

#

no documentation on how to do it though LOL

tropic depot
#

go to the device card for the bulb

#

3 dots menu

#

manage zigbee device

#

binding tab

#

pick the remote

novel turtle
#

ZHA ?

tropic depot
#

yes

novel turtle
#

manage zigbee device

tropic depot
#

click the bind button and press buttons on the remote to wake it up so that it accepts the commands

tropic depot
novel turtle
#

only one option in the drop down

tropic depot
#

reverse it

#

start from the remote

#

i don't use remotes so I can never remember which to start from

novel turtle
#

I will be back in 90 mins need to take duaghter to the dentists

#

thanks for this help is there a guide on this.

tropic depot
#

no, i am terrible at documenting stuff

novel turtle
#

be back soon

novel turtle
#

Ok at dentists

#

Try this on the phone

#

But this is to like a temp sensor

#

When going to bindings I am only seeing one thing in the drop down

jade mirage
#

well, this sucks...

#

deconz/phoscon works with conbee II stick, but zigbee2mqtt ddoesn't

sour shadow
#

It does, you just have to configure it according to the docs

novel turtle
#

Hey @sour shadow

#

So in the bindings drop down should I see all the routers and coordinator

tropic depot
#

you can only bind devices that have reciprocal clusters

novel turtle
#

I only see one named Texas is instruments

tropic depot
#

ex remote to light

#

because the remote will have the client side (generates interactions) of OnOff, Level Control, Color

#

and the light will have the server side

novel turtle
#

I am just trying to get a temp sensor to connect to the socket router that's in the same room, not the cordinator 4 rooms away

tropic depot
#

ok you don't want binding then

novel turtle
#

K

tropic depot
#

you wanna join the device via that device

#

you need to reset the sensor and get it in pairing mode

novel turtle
#

Yeah which it won't

tropic depot
#

then go to the device card for the router

#

and 3 dots menu

#

add via this device

novel turtle
#

It will just search forever, as soon as I do it via cordinator instant

tropic depot
#

what is the routing device?

novel turtle
#

Yeah I have been trying for a week with no luck

#

Sonoff s26 power socket

austere patio
#

What firmware version is your coordinator running? It should look like a date: e.g., 20220214

novel turtle
#

Bought as it's a sonoff and a router

tropic depot
#

it could be a sonoff issue but need packet caps to see what is happening

Anybody knows how to connect ikea smart plugs via ZHA integration directly to my Zigby controller (Sonoff USB-p)?

#

I thought it'd be as easy as plugging it into the power line and adding sevice in ZHA, but it's not seeing it

#

I've also tried pressing and holding that little button on the bottom on it with a paperclip, it also does an audible clip and LED starts fading but ZHA still can't see it

#

Sonoff usb dongle is flashed with the newest official firmware 202209 i believe

sour shadow
mighty river
#

I did that reset by pressing with the paperclip

austere patio
#

The LED will start to fade and it might click

#

But joins in ZHA have to be permitted before you reset it (and it should be reset within like 10s of permitting joins)

mighty river
austere patio
#

Do you have any other devices on your network?

mighty river
#

I unplugged, waited, clicked add device in ZHA, pluggrd in, reset it

#

Yeah some innr bulb

#

Zha found some device and starting the interview, but didnt finish the interview and thus no new device was added

#

Holy shit finally one plug got recognized, i literally repeated the same thing 20 times

austere patio
#

Is your Sonoff coordinator on a USB extension cable? What is it plugged into?

mighty river
#

Yep, usb connection cable. Plugged into raspberry pi 3( which only has usb 2.0 ports)

#

Man trying to build up zigbee network is proving kinds bothersome. My zwave network with switches works rock solid

shadow orchid
#

I heard ZHA sometimes doesnt work well with devices they recommended using zigbee2mqtt

shadow orchid
#

Idk shit about zigbee yet but ive been watching a lot of videos so if a vid I randomly come across helps then ill take it lmao

austere patio
#

IKEA stuff is mostly spec-compliant and works with ZHA just fine

mighty river
#

And here i was just following peoples advice on the forums as everyone was saying ikea plugs were a good and easy way to install zigbee routers and thus extend the network

#

So now that i've got these plugs and signal repeater paired and working... does it make sense to have ZHA remove all my zigbee bulbs and re-add them again so they primarily connect to the routers instead of the zigbee controller directly?

austere patio
#

Only for end-devices. Zigbee routers constantly figure out routes on their own, it's not a one-to-one connection.

mighty river
#

Good to know, thx

#

Does it take a qhilw to update the topology in ZHA? It's still mostly showing gray lines to most devices from the controller

austere patio
#

It's updated once every four hours, or on-demand if you click the button and reload the page after a minute or two

#

I wouldn't worry about the network map, it's just a visualization

novel turtle
#

ZHA

austere patio
#

No

#

It'll wipe settings but they'll be automatically restored when you start up ZHA

novel turtle
#

k

#

so is there particular ver I need

austere patio
#

Just the latest stable one from the repository I linked to above

novel turtle
#

I am looking at the stuff now

#

so I need a python script to put the device into bootloader mode

mighty river
#

Man this zigbee stuff... so i managed to pair all plugs, they're almost right next to each other. Now i keep flicking them on and off and randomly, some just refuse to get turned off... or on.

austere patio
mighty river
#

Yeah currently it feels really disappointing how unreliable it is

austere patio
mighty river
#

My Rpi and zigbee/zwave dongles are in the basement, so the first jump is essentially through a door, up a ladder and into the hallway to get to a zigbee light bulb

#

Maybe i need to try to migrate my RPi altogether

novel turtle
#

I was looknig at this

#

are they purposely making things complicated

#

and I want this firmware

@austere patio how do I check its the right usb

austere patio
#

Or just directly use the /dev/serial/by-id/... link instead of /dev/ttyUSB*

novel turtle
#

powershell ?

#

I am in windows

austere patio
#

Then you'd use device manager to find the COM port and use (for example) COM3 instead of /dev/...

novel turtle
#

I have >>>>>

#

at the prompt

austere patio
#

No clue if --bootloader-sonoff-usb works on Windows

novel turtle
#

can I do it in haos

austere patio
#

Sure. Just disable ZHA before doing it, as otherwise it won't work.

novel turtle
#

or do it this way

austere patio
#

It doesn't really matter, whatever is easier

novel turtle
#

see me on the other side

novel turtle
#

abnd the device would not go into boot mode holding down the button

#

or should I say it didnt appear in the flashing sofwtare\

@austere patio got a sec

I am in haos teminal

how do you disable ZHA

Are there any plugs that support zigbee AND wifi? Reason being my grandma doesn’t have a zigbee hub or anything, but would be cool to have the possibility

Hi! I have a fresh new install of HA on a RP4 through Raspberry Pi Imager, and I got it up and running. However, I can't get the conbee II to work.

  • I tried adding Zigbee Home Automation through integrations, but I can't find the USB.
  • Also tried adding deCONZ through addons but same thing there, can't actually configure the USB.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

sour shadow
#

Is the ConBee on a USB extension cable?

#

Do you have any other USB devices connected?

hollow horizon
#

it's not on an extension cable. I do have a keyboard plugged in.

sour shadow
#

You should put it on a cable before you do anything else

#

Then, check the hardware menu to see if it's detected

rapid dawnBOT

#

alright, I'll see if I can find a cable. Thank you

Hi i am using Sonof dongle 3.0-p with 2mqtt and once a week most of my devices goes offline i am using usb extension ( 0.5m ) i have switched to different channel than my wifi, where to find a problem?

hollow horizon
#

I found a cable, and restarted the HA, but doesn't look like I have anything here.

#

The zigbee apparently was discovered now though, but when I tried to set it up in the integrations panel I got an error:

Failed to probe the usb device

#

And same thing is previously in the deCONZ in addons

#

I'm not allowed to upload screenshots? 🙂

sour shadow
#

Does it show at all in the hardware menu?

hollow horizon
#

yeah looks like it does now. But it's a bit flakey from the looks of it.

#

Well, one step forward:

#

aaaand now it's not showing anymore. 😫

#

in the hardware page

sour shadow
#

So, either:

  1. You're underpowering the Pi
  2. The USB connector is dodgy
  3. The stick is dodgy
  4. Some combination of the above
hollow horizon
#
  1. I'm not underpowering it, I did previously but I found a beefier power outlet.
  2. I tried all the USB connectors on the PI4, but no luck there.
  3. I'm leaning towards this at the moment.
#

Can I update the firmware or something if that might be the issue?

sour shadow
#

You can, in deCONZ, but given you can't get it working I'm not sure how you'll update it

hollow horizon
#

I was thinking of plugging it in to my windows machine to see if that has the same issue here.

#

yeah, something is off with the stick. It's losing connection and gaining connection over and over again in my windows PC as well.

#

Thank you for the help @sour shadow ! I really do appreciate it! I'll go exchange the stick to a new one. 🙂

sour shadow
#

Or buy something better 😉

rapid dawnBOT
#

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

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

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

i just ordered CC2652P2 based Zigbee to Ethernet/USB Serial Coordinator from tube.

I am using the Sonoff ZBDONGLE-P flashed with the router firmware to help extend the range of my network as I have a bunch of wireless sensors but no wired that act as repeaters.
