Have you actually seen a lack of extension cable cause the service itself not to start?

sour shadow
#

Yes

fading ivy
#

How? Either the USB device is there or it isn't

sour shadow
#

Because the ConBee can refuse to bring up the mesh if there's too much interference, like any other stick

#

And it's very sensitive to interference

#

That's been posted many times by many people in this channel

#

Including the ZHA devs

hearty pulsar
#

but what changes when the stick is on e extension cable?

sour shadow
#

It reduces/removes interference from the computer itself

#

There's information in the pinned messages about this, including a link to an Intel white paper on the topic

hearty pulsar

Tips for healing the zigbee network?, I've just added and removed some devices that were close to the coordinator.

I heard that powering off the coordinator and leaving all devices on for 1hr will work?

Hey tube, got one of your zigbee dongles, usb only. Do you sell only the ethernet adapter to attach to it too?

Question regarding how to get HA to forget devices. I have several SONOFF S26R2ZB (Sonoff Zigbee switch) devices, one of which I set up as a light rather than switch some time ago (not sure how). Anyway I want to revert it back to switch as this gets naming in line with everything else and simplifies templates etc.
I have removed the device and readded - but it comes back as light.
I have removed, rebooted and readded - but it comes back as light.
I have removed, stopped, edited out any mention in .storage/core.entity_registry and .storage/core.device_registry, restarted and readded - but it comes back as a light.

How can I get it just to be a switch?

Got it. Thanks. Thought it was not possible anymore to do one yourself, as the git link for flashing is dead

If it has the female headers on it, you can. I’ll look into the github links

Hello!
Using ZHA.
How can I receive a device cluster id that's used for
zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command?
I've tried listening for zha events but nothing shows for that IEEE.

Hi guys,
I have HASSIO on RPi3 with CC2652P. integrated with ZHA
I have only 6 IKEA bulbs, but one type GU10 WS 345lm is very laggy. It takes second to turn them of/off, sometimes I can't control them. The strange thing is, I can control them over HomeKit integration from my home app in iPhone without any issue. Any ideas pls?

Hi guys! I've been searching for the right Zigbee switch for hours now and I give up. I need your help in case you know any switch which satifys my criterias.

The Zigbee switch should be/have:

  • Zigbee 3.0
  • atleast 10A
  • 2-gang (control 2 seperate lights)
  • behind the physical switch
  • Energy Consumption Monitoring

I found some Moes Zigbee switches that satisfy most condition but the last condition of energy monitoring is hard to find :/

Ps: Bonus points if it works with deCONZ.

#

What country are you in?

feral storm
#

Sweden.

#

Oh, forgot to mention. It should be a switch which is "build in" so behind the actual switch.

Hello, Some of my zigbee aqura devices seem to loose connection with home assistant. Is there a way to make the keep alive or heartbeat packets happen more frequently with these devices and my ZHA integration?

austere patio
#

What routing device are they connected to?

hushed scroll
#

I'm using a Sonoff 3.0 USB zigbee stick

#

I can go get the box to tell you exactly what the stick is called.

austere patio
#

Sensors usually connect to the stick via some other routing device, like a light bulb, outlet, etc.

hushed scroll
#

Oh, ok well I do have a rack in the back corner of my house. To get my zigbee signal out. I have a Innr smart plug, and I had an innr zigbee bulb. Which I still have but the light was not always coming on. So I added a zigbee wall switch that controls the light. There's a outside porch that connects the rack room to the rest of the house where a majority of my zigbee devices reside.

Hi. Neede to change my ConBee stick to another USB dongle, and it got a new device name, /dev/ttyACM1. How do I make HA use the new device name?

austere patio
#

What integration are you using?

brittle summit
#

zha

#

Tried usb_path: /dev/ttyACM1 under zha: , but that didn't work

austere patio
#

Click the "Migrate" button and it will walk you through switching USB sticks

#

If your Conbee is still functional, plug it back in so that it can reset it

#

And then all of your settings will be moved to the new stick. Otherwise, the Conbee cannot be plugged in anywhere near the new stick.

brittle summit
#

Where do I find Migrate?

austere patio
#

Go to Devices & Services, find ZHA, and click Configure

brittle summit
#

ah, "Migrate Radio"

#

Unknown error occurred ...

#

It suggested /dev/ttyACM1 with the serialnumber and everything

austere patio
#

What are you migrating to?

brittle summit
#

The same stick, but I had to switch USB port. Using vmware workstation

#

I guess re-configure the current radio is the right way then?

#

Yes

#

my Zigbee2mqtt does not start up on boot even though I have Watchdog and Start on boot enabled. Any idea what's going on?

I thought it may be the serial in my config, but I have it set to:

  /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_0001-if00-port0```

The only work around I have found is to unplug my Sonoff dongle and then plug it back in.

Hello ! I am not sure if that's the right place to ask but i am unable to get an IKEA tradfri LED power supply connected to ZHA throughj a zigate.
The device seems to be supported according to blakadder and i've found some posts online suggesting people got them to work but I can't . Every time i tried the "press button on remote for 10s" dance it crashes my ZHA integration and I have to reload it

#

i've managed to get a power outlet in the network and it's been working great, also the simple on/off remote, but not the power supply. Anyone have tips ?

Anybody knows... how can I remove all schedule entries for this heating valve: TS0601

#

In mqtt I don't have a reset or remove button to remove all schedule entries

Can some one help me out, I updated my ha setup from 2022.10 to 2022.12-6 and I lost a few important mqtt sensor entities like the action entity for all my Ikea E1743 switches and the local_temperature of my Sinope thermostats. I am running the latest release (1.28.4-1) of zigbee2 mqtt. On the zigbee2mqtt forum, they tell me that it is a HA problem. When I watch the mqtt messages on the zigbee2mqtt topic, I see the actions for the Ikea buttons ant the local temperature from the Sinope devices. On the homeassistant topic, I only see the configuration topic (i.e. : homeassistant/device_automation/0x14b457fffe3dfc19/action_arrow_right_release/config). Any idea what the issue is and how to solve it to get back the action from my switches and temperature from my thermostats? Thanks.

@austere patio Question I was looking at the SONOFF bulbs and figured out how to fix one of the B02 bulbs

#

I am trying to work out how to fix th S26 power switch, to stop showing up as a bulb, but looking at the diagnostics, in SONOFF there is no uuid for the temp, door or s26 zigbee stuff, which file are these declared in to pick up the configuration from ?

#

hey guys, i have a small question. is there any reason not to run ever zigbee device trough zigbee2mqtt? like should I get rid of my IKEA gateway and just run the lights trough it as well?

strange ibex
#

yeah, if you have a tradfri hub, ditch it and move the bulbs to your z2m coordinator.

#

you'll reduce interference a tiny bit and improve your mesh

barren stratus
#

Can i test ZHA with a few devices and switch to z2m with the same coordinator and only need to repair this devices or Do i need to repair All?

#

Now all devices are in z2m but zha makes so much progress since i last tested it. I guess i can switch to it

#

Btw coordinator is skyconnect. One of the reason to try zha

austere patio
#

ZHA will re-use your current network settings but it won't know about any device on your network. If you want to try it, make sure to go to the Visualization and run a scan, wait a few minutes, run another, it should slowly find most powered devices. Sensors likely won't be picked up.

barren stratus
#

Bu if i dont like it i can use z2m again with any troubles?

austere patio
#

Yes

barren stratus

Not the other way around, though (if you have a ZHA network and start Z2M, it'll overwrite your settings)

Is Z2M or ZHA better...?

#

I was using Z2M, then suddenly all my devices just stopped responding so I moved to ZHA..but it seems like ZHA doesnt like my motion sensors..

#

I have started with z2m and have had no issues

#

I heard z2m is better but nothing tangible to prove it

shadow orchid
#

it was fine for a couple days, then randomly in the middle of the day all my stuff became unavailable

obtuse tapir
#

Before I get too far, is HUSBZB-1 junk and I should replace it before burning too much effort in trying to fix issues?

austere patio
#

Z2M supports more Tuya "devices" and usually supports new stuff more quickly. Network operation between both is more or less the same if you ignore the initial channel choice, switching from one to the other won't fix underlying problems that caused your network to "stop working" in the first place.

shadow orchid
austere patio
#

Anything by a major manufacturer that isn't Tuya is usually well-supported by both integrations

#

The motion detection doesnt work on either of my sensors

fresh citrus
# tropic depot what are you trying to do?

I've got two fire alarms (SMSZB-120) that i've had for a year or so. And to trigger them manually (I use NodeRed to trigger one if the other one goes off) i need to use
And to trigger it i need to use the issue_zigbee_cluster_command with this string { "ieee":"00:15:bc:00:bb:00:44:aa", "endpoint_id":35, "cluster_id":1282, "cluster_type":"in", "command":0, "command_type":"server", "args":[0,0,0,0] }
It works for my but not for my friend and we've double and triple checked the IEEE of his device. My thought was the the cluster_id was unique and that's why it wasn't working.

Hi! I have a ConBee II that I use on a Windows 11 computer running HA in Vmware Workstation. Had to switch USB-port, and now the device have changed from /dev/ttyACM0 to /dev/ttyACM1. I tried to go into "migrate radio", and it finds the "new" device, but I get an error. How can I make HA understand that my ConBee have switched device name? ZHA.

When a device shows as "Offline" is it enough to just press "Reconfigure device" or do I have to press some buttons on the device itself to put it back in pairing mode?

Try re-interviewing the device, or turn on pairing mode and press and hold the pairing button on the device until it flashes (I think pairing mode is optional here actually).

I have a zibee combee 2 key
that works via zigbee home automation

everything works fine
except this sensor ... Aqara TVOC Air Quality Monitor
the humidity, temperature and covt values are detected
but no value goes up

is there a solution to force the value to go up

Hi there, wondering if someone can help me with a Aqara motion sensor problem.

I have Zigbee2MQTT setup and running with 6 other sensors.
They have been running a year or so.

I am trying to add a new motion sensor.
It connects just fine, but I can't get any information from it.
All the options are N/A.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Hey guys quick question about bulbs. I have about 40 hue bulbs that are still going strong but want to add more, looking for something that is somewhat equivalent in the 100watts range but a little cheaper. Only requirement would be that they use the zigbee protocol, I would prefer the ability to do color and if you have a suggestion for a BR30 as well that would be appreciated. Thanks, Im in the US if that helps as well.

The color match isn't going to be quite the same as hue but I've had success with both smartthings and HA

#

IKEA bulbs aren't that color specific, but they're cheaper than hue, and operate nicely under zigbee. Small bonus is they also act as signal repeaters

#

I am hunting for some 220V Zigbee enabled LED Spotlights that are dimmable. Don't need too many colors, but I do need cheap stuff, as I am replacing 16 of them

Looks like the IKEA one seems to be the better deal for me, Dimmable. Only 5W (I was hoping to find 6W), but I'll grab 4 of them and see how they fare

hello little question you think it's best in zigbbz
Zigbee home automation
that detects well the sensor
https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Aqara_AAQS-S01.html
but I don't have any value that goes up even: if it has detected the complete sensors

deconz (knowing that deconz is not able to detect the consumption of my plug and that it does only on/off https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Nous_A1Z.html)

zigbee2mqtt knowing that this plug
https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Nous_A1Z.html) is not supported according to this site https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/supported-devices/ since does not go up ..
to summarize what is the best to put for the future
Zigbee home automation seems good to me
thank you for your answer

Hi All, do you need to place Zigbee devices in their final spot before adding to installation? Or do they re-learn best router comm paths after moving later? Can you trigger this somehow, I have one smart plug with all red lines in visualisation, guess to far away? I'm new to Zigbee as you can see 😉 And what do Zigbee Groups do? (using HA Yellow BTW)

violet dagger
#

it is recommended to pair in the place they will reside

sour shadow
#

If you don't pair in place the device may not work

#

As for Zigbee groups, they're basically a way of controlling multiple devices with a single message

lethal coral
#

Thanks guys! 👍

lucid pumice
#

Is the list of recommended hardware in the pins still accurate? it's over a year old.

sour shadow
#

That the pinned message is over a year old doesn't mean the lists at the links haven't been updated in a year

#

Also depends on what you're looking at, if you mean the coordinators then that's different from Zigbee devices

#

The basic coordinator recommendations haven't really changed - CC2652 for Z2M and that or EZSP for ZHA

#

The lists of working hardware aren't recommendations, and there's devices on there that many would recommend you avoid

lucid pumice
#

Fair enough. I've got an existing supervised install based on debian 10 which is no longer supported. So i'm going to rebuild on 11 but i'm aware that hardware has moved on and that the usb adapter i'm using is outdated. So i'm looking to see what would be a good well bahaved up to date device. currently using ZHA but i'm i can use anything as long as it will work.

sour shadow
#

For ZHA anything CC2652 or modern EZSP based will work

#

The SkyConnect is one option, as is either of the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 dongles, and many other things

lucid pumice
#

ok, i'll read through the pinned page with that in mind, thanks.

jagged sun
#

After much troubleshooting (different / new MicroSD's etc. & restoring backups) I've determined HA will reliably boot / update or reboot if I have the dongle unplugged. If I boot with it plugged in, it will start to boot and give HA UI until it says its Starting the Zigbee Home Assistant stuff and then it disappears offline, I think it may be going into a reboot loop.

I am running z2mqtt and trying to figure out how binding is supposed to work. I have a trådfri motion sensor and a trådfri light that I have added successfully. Now I want the motion sensor to turn on the light without using a trigger and instead have it turn it on in the same way it works when using the IKEA gateway. I have successfully created a bind from the motion sensor, end-point 1 to the light bulb end point 1 and the cluster onOff. However the light is not turned on when motion is detected. What am I missing here?

Greetings,

I have about 40 Tradfri bulbs connected to ZHA. Worked fine till a few days ago. Then the bulbs in one room lost connection to ZHA. I set them back to pairing mode and they were found immediately with their old names. But i had a Zigbee Group with them. Actually i can't add those bulb to the group again as they don't appear in the list. Any ideas on that?

It has just this second finished flashing a new firmware to the dongle, so I'll desolder and give this a go with my HA shortly.

I have another new one ordered and coming in a couple of days to aid troubleshooting

hey, I've migrated from deconz to sky connect (because it lost connection permanently to devices hundreds of times, i had to re-pair, that was exhausting because some devices where not accessible easily)
now it seems to be fine, but I got an Opple 6way-Switch (lumi.remote.b686opcn01).
The pairing worked fine, but then i found, that the opple switch only gets the key-presses of the two middle buttons. I pressed the reconfigure-button in the device screen in HA (got some Errors, see screenshot, but nothing in the logs)

Well I can't believe it @lilac wharf - re-flashing it actually worked. That was a long-shot I didn't know was going to work.

Hey guys! I'll get an FP1 for Christmas, and I have a few doubts I'd love to clear out before.

  1. is it already compatible with ZHA?
  2. Are regions already available in Home Assistant?
  3. Do you need the aqara hub to be able to set regions?

I've seen contradicting comments regarding FP1 + ZHA, so I wanted to clear that up here. I've also seen very little info about regions with HA

mellow geode
#
  1. yes
  2. no
  3. i guess -- but you won't be able to use ZHA/Z2M then (and I don't think the Aqara hub will expose regions in HA but idk)

@nova fjord the FP1 does work with ZHA. You get a presence sensor, and config entities for approach distance, monitoring mode and motion sensitivity. And events for approach/away.

No regions (yet)

I feel like I've tried every possibility here. Can anyone give me an idea why I might be getting the Not Authorized message from Z2M/MQTT?

jade cargo
#

can you connect to the broker with mqtt explorer

obtuse tapir
#

Never even heard of it. Let's see

#

Connection refused: Not Authorized

#

I am seeing this in the logs which I hadn't noticed before:

#

2022-12-18 14:55:49: Loading plugin: /usr/share/mosquitto/go-auth.so
2022-12-18 14:55:49: ├── Username/password checking enabled.
2022-12-18 14:55:49: ├── TLS-PSK checking enabled.
2022-12-18 14:55:49: └── Extended authentication not enabled.

#

Not sure what creds it's actually CHECKING

#

As far as using explorer, I tried using blank creds, and tried using my homeassistant:password creds. Both not authorized.

#

HOWEVER, I just tried a mqtt-user account that I created as a test and that one CAN get in via MQTT explorer

#

So in theory, if I tell Z2M to use that creds maybe I'll get somewhere?

jade cargo
#

hopefully

#

I don't know how the mosquitto add on works

#

I've never used it

#

but mqtt explorer is a handy tool

obtuse tapir
#

Well, still being rejected. O

#

I'm starting to suspect that the login fields aren't what I think they are

#

Thought maybe mqtt://mqtt-user:password@core-mosquitto would work. Nope.

jade cargo
#

where are you entering that?

#

this is the format for z2m

obtuse tapir
#

I was putting it in place of 'mqtt://localhost:1883' since it wasn't functioning the default way.

#

But the config file there is a way different from what's in the add-on by default.

#

Using the config file from that page eventually lands me on: MQTT error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:1883

#

So at this point I guess I need to figure out what creds MQTT is demanding at the broker end.

jade cargo
#

I don't think localhost is what you want to use

#

because that would be the container

#

unless the container is running in host network mode

#

ok looks like localhost is correct

carmine hamlet
#

I just started playing with my SkyConnect, Zigbee2MQTT, and some cheap Zigbee smartplugs and getting it all set up was super easy, and operation is super fast. Setting up a group for the two plugs and toggling that switch is instantaneous

#

the inclusion process was much easier and faster than it typically is for ZWave devices

obtuse tapir
#

Not using a container, unless add-ons on the box are containerized? There's so many names I can never remember which version of HA is which, but I'm running installed on an Odriod

jade cargo
#

add ons are containers

#

did you enter the username and password like how the guide says

obtuse tapir
#

Looks like that did it. I was using a logins section.

#

Now to kill it all and do it again so I know what was where.

lilac wharf
carmine hamlet
#

yeah, I saw that. working just fine for me so far, but will keep that in mind

#

did I mention super-duper fast without needing to mess with multicast?

lilac wharf
#

Zigbee does have a higher max throughput than zwave (250 Kbps vs 100 Kbps), so it would make sense that it's faster

carmine hamlet
#

it's pretty much Insteon speed, and it was fine with just two smart plugs

shadow orchid
#

whats messed up is my Vont bulbs turn off faster than my zigbee ones

#

when turning them off through alexa

remote patio
#

would it be viable to install a 2nd zigbee adapter with zha integration and pair devices currently with z2m to it and then try updating them and then go back to z2m if they manage to update?

lilac wharf
#

Sure, but you can do OTA upgrades in z2m too

remote patio
#

no I can't.. I've tried 64 times (8 devices 8 times each and it takes weeks for it to not update). I think the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result and I'm well past that now

#

after a few years I think it's time to give up on z2m for updating when it has never succeeded.

#

zha didn't even exist when I started trying

#

also having issues with zwave-js spontaneously stopping working in the last few days so that's on my mind

lilac wharf
#

What version are you on? I've never had issues with OTA upgrades in z2m

remote patio
#

whatever the current addon is

lilac wharf
#

That's not a number

remote patio
#

don't remember where to find it.. takes time

lilac wharf
#

Also what device(s) are you trying to upgrade?

remote patio
#

1.28.4

#

IKEA E1746, E1524/E1810, LED1732G11, LED1836G9, E1743 and Xiaomi ZNCZ02LM

lilac wharf
#

And what happens when you try to upgrade them? What do you mean it takes weeks to not update?

remote patio
#

I see something like this until the death of the universe

#

give or take a few weeks

lilac wharf
#

Are you trying to upgrade them all at once?

remote patio
#

no.. one at a time..

#

so this has literally been taking years

#

it's like SETI at this stage.. I just go through the motions not expecting it to work

I'm just finishing a migration from ZHA HUBZ to Z2M Sonoff and I have 2 lights that say supported, but interview isn't finished, and they're showing red ! marks.

#

Anything I should be doing to fix that?

#

....and if I try to add them to a Zigbee group I get an error message which I'm guessing comes from it not finishing the interview...?

tulip patrol
#

Try deleting the devices, then restart home assistant, then retry the pairing procedure

tepid gorge
#

I am running z2mqtt and trying to figure out how binding is supposed to work. I have a trådfri motion sensor and a trådfri light that I have added successfully. Now I want the motion sensor to turn on the light without using a trigger and instead have it turn it on in the same way it works when using the IKEA gateway. I have successfully created a bind from the motion sensor, end-point 1 to the light bulb end point 1 and the cluster onOff. However the light is not turned on when motion is detected. What am I missing here? (I've tried putting the light into a group and binding the motion sensor to the group, the issue remains)

Hey, i have a question about zigbee2mqtt. I bought a few popp 701721 (similar to danfoss ally) thermostat valves and integrated them to home assistant. They allow ota updates which i did. They all had initial the firmware "01.12.0008 01.12". Now a few trv´s have version "01.18.0008 01.18" with firmware-date "20220928" which is the latest, some other have an unknown version "AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD" with firmware-date "20220928". I already tried to change the state.json file, change the firmware-version "AAAABBBBCCCCDDDD" to the initial 1.12 one and update egain, but that did not work. Is there any way, to force the updates for the devices with the strange firmware-version again?

obtuse tapir
#

@tulip patrol - That did it. I had deleted them out, but never tried the reboot while they were.

#

...well, maybe. Now it says that interview is complete (it wasn't before) but I still can't add it to a group. I get a red popup with "Failed to add from group (Cannot read properties of undefiled (reading '0'))

Hi, I'm looking for a zigbee alarm keypad that I can order in Europe (France) at a reasonable price. I know that Frient/Develco are good but the price is high (~90€). I'm now using a Z-wave ring that does the job but I'd prefer a zigbee one. If you have any to recommand, i'd be grateful.

Hello, I am banging my head against the wall to try and figure this out. I am moving from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT and when I removed ZHA and installed Mosquitto and Zigbee2MQTT I am getting an error when starting the latter that it can't lock the port. I went and read the Zigbee2MQTT website and ran the command that it says to run and nothing showed up as locking/using that port.... what is even stranger is even though I removed the ZHA integration when I was in the integrations area I was still able to add a device via ZHA which doesn't seem like it should work once the integration is removed. I am thinking that ZHA isn't fully being removed but I can't find anything on how to fully remove it from the system. Do y'all have any ideas?

obtuse tapir
#

Guessing after deleting the integration you've done a reboot?

tawny badger
#

Correct

#

I even used zha.remove to remove the coordinator

#

before deleting ZHA

obtuse tapir
#

I more or less did the same thing yesterday, but I had a new stick so I was just migrating to that.

#

...so the only issue I didn't have was conflicts over stikcs

tawny badger
#

It is so weird because even after removing ZHA, HomeAssistant is auto finding the Zigbee stick and recommending ZHA

obtuse tapir
#

I don't think it's THAT removed. It's still part of the system, just not active.

tawny badger
#

Got it, but then I would imagine that it is still locking the port if it is auto discovering which seems to be what the issues is based on my Zigbee2MQTT logs

sour shadow
#

Nah, unless you configure ZHA it remains available

austere patio
#

It's just giving you a Configure button you can click to begin configuration

#

And if you see a Configure button, that specifically means that it isn't configured

tawny badger
#

Got it, good to know that the discovery doesn't lock the port. Which falls in line with what I am a seeing on the terminal when I look to see what is accessing that port it shows nothing. So this must be a Zigbee2Mqtt issue...

idle iris
carmine hamlet
#

I really didn't do anything special

#

it's the first time I've used any of this and I just create a Z2M container that pointed to the device

austere patio
#

SRSP - SYS - ping means that Z2M is trying to talk to it as a ZNP coordinator. You need to specify adapter: ezsp somewhere in the config to tell it the type of adapter.

carmine hamlet
#

I did do that as well, but it wasn't clear whether the default was causing problems (I didn't have any devices at that point)

idle iris
carmine hamlet
#

just try that

austere patio
#

Well, not "somewhere" 😆. It's in the Z2M documentation, I think under advanced: or something.

I have a bunch of Aqara climate sensors around my house and they've been great. Yesterday, I noticed the one in my basement became unavailable. I tried refreshing the connection but nothing was working so I ended up swapping the battery and then it reconnected to HA. This morning, the sensor has become unavailable again but this time when I press the button on it, the red LED on it lights up. I can't seem to connect to back to HA. I'm probably doing something wrong. thoughts? I have the latest version of HA running on an RPi4 with a GoControl HUSBZB-1 USB Hub plugged into it

Is the stick on a USB extension cable?

#

Did you check that your chosen Zigbee channel (11 by default on Z2M, 15 by default on ZHA) is clear of WiFi interference?

worn lance
# sour shadow Is the stick on a USB extension cable?

it's not. I've read about that being a good practice. I've had these sensors for over a year now and they've been great up until now with only this 1. I recently updated HA and that's the only real change I have made

Try an extension cable, make sure you're clear of WiFi interference

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

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

sour shadow

@worn lance ☝️

#

The answer to your question depends on whether you're using Z2M or ZHA

worn lance
#

sorry, I don't use discord much

sour shadow
#

I already said what the defaults are, if you didn't pick a different one then it's using the default

#

ok. Also, just remembered the other change I recently made was I added a 2.4ghz wifi guest SSID because I had a tesla wall charger installed in my garage but it wouldn't connect to my regular 2.4ghz wifi ssid. After digging in, it was suggested to create a guest one with WPA/WPA2. Apparently WPA3 on my regular one was blocking the connection

Check the channel

worn lance

newly created wifi 2.4 guest is channel 8

#

my 2.4 wifi that I've had broadcasting for a long time is also channel 8

Channel 8?

And ... did you check for other WiFi?

#

Are you using ZHA, or are you using Zigbee2MQTT, or ... something else?

worn lance
#

my 5ghz is channel 161

sour shadow
#

That's irrelevant

#

Did you open any app on a phone or laptop to check for other WiFi?

worn lance
#

just checked on my macbook by holding down option while clicking the wifi icon in the top right menu bar. there are other SSID's around me from neighbors

Excellent... now use an app that tells you what channels they're on

Hey @sour shadow and @mystic copper I moved one of the Hue switches to another location, zigbee seems to be working as it should be, no more drop offs or devices becoming unavailable

#

I moved it about a further 10m away from the cordinator, I am thinking them being so close to each other was causing issues.

#

I TS it by literally unplugging the hue for 24 hours, and everything just meshed properly, and the ability to sync through routers started working as expected

plugged the hue back in, and they all started dropping again

so moved the hue and no issues

Hi guys! So happy to see that the Philips Hue Tap Switch now is supported by Z2MQTT!! But... I can't figure out how to use it and have found no docs. Any one please help?

If you don't have legacy triggers enabled then you'll need to use device triggers in your #automations-archived

If you do then the entities should update when you push it

I'm looking for a zigbee temperature sensor that is supported by zigbee2mqtt but without using batteries? I'm surprised there isn't a lot of options for wired or USB powered ones

sour shadow
#

Yeah, that sounds pretty niche

austere patio
#

Some devices have built-in temperature sensors, though the heat produced by any powered device that does something may skew the measurements

Since I have outlets nearby I figured why use batteries when you can just plug a cable

I get one to two years on my Xiaomi temperature sensors shrug

austere patio

You can buy sensors that take AA and AAA batteries and just use rechargeable. They run for years.

The Develco/Freint "mini" sensor takes a couple of AAs and does temperature, motion, and light

Most Zigbee sensors have multi-year lifespan. Some brands chew batteries, and some locations are a bad choice

austere patio
#

I think the Aqara sensor I keep outside year-round lasts for about a year on a coin cell and it spends more than a few months in temperatures well below freezing. It's specifically joined through a bulb right next to it though, you may have worse results if the sensor has to re-send its updates a few times to a distant router.

#

Guess I was unlucky with that sensor then. Battery died on me.

weak python

I've had a poor experience with those sonoff SNZB-02, kept disconnecting and I had to pair them again. Not sure if that's the sensor fault or my sonoff ZBDongle-E acting up with zigbee2mqtt. My other zigbee smartplugs aren't disconnecting

sudden crest
#

Question I was here for. Is renaming ZHA devices to something human readable going to hurt me later on? I see just nmeric IDs in automations so I guess I'm fine.

#

Back then I named them aqara.temp_<room> and such. aqara.motion_<room>

sour shadow

#

But that doesnt help listing/searching them when creating something in the GUI.

I'm trying with some devices so I will figure out eventually.

Oh yes, I have that too. But the overall/grouping device name.

Use standard triggers/service calls and you can replace devices

Hey. I have an IKEA remote switch (the one with I/O), and it has been eating batteries like crazy lately. Is this a know issue? Any way to fix or work around it?
I'm using an Elelabs stick with 6.7.8.0, with ZHA.

Is there some upper limit to the number of devices that zha can handle? It seems like once I broke 75-100 devices it became sluggish

they are brand new bateries (and from different brands too). Do you mean lqi entities, for example? it does and I think they were high, but since it has been dead for some days now, I can't see how it was :/ I'll keep an eye on it after changing batteries again

onyx cove

it might be also doing some stupid indirect routing, re-pairing might solve it as well

Ah, yea. That would make routing issue plausible. I think you can check it in Visualization tab

#

by the way, are the EZSP versions on the zha-ng repo still the recomended ones?

mellow geode
#

6.10 should be good. I think it’s the last support version for the ELU013 stick(?) Should also be on that repo

golden vessel
#

or does the ele_update command from the update scripts better now?

#

the zha-ng only has 6.9.1.0

well, the HA zha integration docs now point to the official tool and not zha-ng one, so I'll go with that!

the stick shouldn't have lost its network settings during the upgrade, but maybe it did somewhat?

did you download a ZHA backup through the UI before upgrading?

#

if not, you should be able to restore from an automatic network backup

#

I have been a bit away from ZHA dev this last year, all of that is new to me now

mellow geode
#

pretty sure they're all in the zigbee.db (so maybe copy that file now).
You should restore using the UI with the "Migrate Radio" option

#

there should be an option to keep the current stick and restore from an automatic backup IIRC

#

Migrate Radio -> Re-configure the current radio -> select same radio -> Submit -> Restore an automatic backup -> select a somewhat recent network backup (but not one that was taken on the broken 6.10 firmware)

it seems to receive msgs from devices (I see them when I use the Add Device and open logs), but fails to send messages with that DELIVERY_FAILED error

mellow geode
#

you could try to power-cycle some routers and see if it comes back up again

golden vessel
#

yeah, already did

#

I also tried repairing one bulb, but it does not pair

mellow geode
#

can you download a backup from the ZHA UI and send me via DM (you can censor the network key part)?

#

hmm, and maybe also your zigbee.db? (although that'll include your network key)

golden vessel
#

It's fixed now!!

#

I powered off the rpi, removed and plugged the stick cable and it works

#

I guess the stick needed a decent power cycle to work 😑

mellow geode
#

huh, glad it's fixed!

#

heh, might as well try the 6.10 upgrade again in the next few days (with a backup, enough time, and a power-cycle) haha

#

or just stay on your current version

#

back to the IKEA remotes, are all remotes draining their battery or just some of the remotes? (if only some, try to re-pair the affected remotes)

#

if it's some remotes, is it possible that it's the remotes connected directly to the coordinator? if so, end-devices can be blocked from going through EZSP coordinators using a config option

golden vessel
#

While I was trying to troubleshoot (before the power cycle) I did went back to 6.10, so it's updated now! 😁

#

Thanks for the help!

golden vessel
mellow geode
#

is that remote near the coordinator?

golden vessel

#

When re-pairing, allow joins through that bulb only if possible

#

Doesn't tradfri buttons jump to better routers? I thought it was only an issue with the xiaomi stuff

unborn orbit
#

has anyone tried the 6.10 firmware just released on z stack?

Yeah, the 6.10 is an older SDK but shouldn’t have that issue

Getting a weird error and hoping someone can help. I deleted a bunch of old groups on my HUBSZB-1 but phantom ones kept coming back as unnamed. I then deleted them again, backed up the radio, and migrated to a Sonoff dongle, recreated groups. Now I am seeing this in the logs: Platform zha does not generate unique IDs. ID light_zha_group_0x0006 already exists - ignoring light.silicon_labs_ezsp_family_room_zha_group_0x0006

Anyway to really get rid of the original group_0x0006

Or purge the database and rebuild maybe?

I've got a Zooz Zen77 z-wave smart switch, and I want to use it to control a zigbee bulb. I've got the switch set to "smart bulb mode" i.e. the wall switch doesn't cut power off to the bulb anymore. But I still want "local" control at the switch.

Do I need to set up automations for this now, or is there a better/easier way?

#

Based on this, ZHA supports signal repeaters. However, I migrated to Sonoff USB Plus and and manages to loose the repeaters after several hours.: ) Even when they are around the corner. Perhaps I am doing smth wrong. https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Ikea_E1746.html

austere patio

#

Is there a way to see if a ZHA binding is setup or not?

south moth
austere patio
#

Did you try to re-join the repeaters? Or did they disconnect after the migration?

#

If you migrated from a Conbee with old firmware, the network backup was not complete. Go back to the ZHA configuration page and download a network backup. Edit the JSON and look at network_info.network_key.tx_counter. Change that value to 100000000, save the JSON, and click the Migrate Radio button. From there, select Re-configure current radio and upload this manual backup when you get to the page that asks for network settings.

Hey, a, currently running home assistant in a virtual box vm and I have a problem where my vm will lose connection with my sonoff stick after 1-2hr it is restarted. the only garunteed way to fix it is to restart the vm. I've gotten it working and stuff multiple time but it always kicks off. im running windows as my main os btw.

#

Assuming that moving to a more stable solution isn't an option, maybe buy a network connected coordinator?

can you give me an example that doesn't need connection to the outside net is preferred because my internet is flaky.

alright I got an aqara fp1 sensor, ZHA does detect it showing initialization complete; aqara lumi.motion.ac01 by aqara but when I go back to the devices screen it says unk_model by unk_manufacturer

Hey ya'll - I've got two Zigbee devices that say they have OTA updates available, but they will not update. It always fails. I've tried unplugging/replugging the device before starting the OTA update to ensure its communicating, etc. Not sure what to do. They are both the same type of device. They are both Gledopto GL-C-008P (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/GL-C-008P.html#gledopto-gl-c-008p). Any ideas? This has been going on for months..

mellow geode
#

Yeah, the Gledopto updates are really bad. They have multiple versions of each controller and sometimes they're completely indistinguishable

#

I guess the images in the zigbee-ota repo aren't the ones you need for your controller.

#

Just don't push the update button and you're fine

iron mauve
#

@mellow geode Is there a way to ignore the update for them so I don't have notifications 100% of the time? Disable the entity?

mellow geode
#

hmm, not sure. (using ZHA myself and it doesn't provide update entities yet)

#

I guess disabling the update entity should work though

Hello! I just got started with HA and have installed it on a docker on my QNAP NAS. I've installed 2x Sonoff switches in my loft controlling extractor fans, and 2x aqara temperature/humidity sensors in the bathroom. I am using a Sonoff USB Zigbee device to add Zigbee to HA via ZHA. Initially I couldnt pair these devices but by bringing them into the same room I was able to do so. I then site them in each bathroom (One is in the room next door, the other is in the room next door to that, not a huge distance at all). If I restart HA however they do not connect until I re-bring them closer, but once they do connect they are fine. Any suggestions? I believe "LQI is the signal strength measure in HA? In which case the nearest sensor is 88 LQI and the more distant one (by 1m) is 96. Both switches report LQI of 100. we do have a hue hub with about 50 lights on it but its on channel 25, so would have thought this being on channel 15 would mean less interference and shouldn't struggle with these distances?

hey 🙂 How can i configure the default power-on state for my hue light bulbs? I saw that this is possible in the cluster (?) and/or it was added in the 2022-05 update, but i can't find the config via google :/

lofty junco
#

I found this information
https://community.hueessentials.com/t/how-to-set-up-power-on-behaviour-for-my-lights/720
which says You can configure the power-on behaviour for your lights. This setting is applied after a power cut. Power-on behaviour is only supported on Philips Hue lights on a Philips Hue bridge and requires the latest software update..
Can I do this with home-assistant too?
If not, would it work if i disconnect the lights from HA, use a original hue-bridge to let those lights connect to the bridge, configure the default state, disconnect the lamps from the hue bridge and connect them again to HA? :/

My Sonoff Zigbee ZBDongle-E is not detected automatically by HA. I'm running HAOS. Any guidance? Is there a way to see what USB port it is using? I can't see it under System -> Hardware -> All hardware

I would like to use zigbee2mqtt, but ZHA doesn't seem to regonize it either (just suggesting /dev/ttyAMA0 - ttyAMA0, s/n: n/a.

According to the docs, it does not need to be flashed/firmware updated to work - does it anyway?

mighty river

#

Hi,
Not sure if this is the correct channel. Just started with ZHA coming from Zigbee2MQTT. ZHA seems to pair Ikea and Philips devices automatically without me having to put those devices in pairing mode. Is there a way to stop ZHA doing this?
The reason that I'm asking is because I am testing with the SkyConnect and I only want to have some bulbs connected to the SkyConnect while the other ones should still be paired to the Sonoff stick using Zigbee2MQTT.

tropic depot
#

what do you mean?

#

is add devices running?

fiery cave
#

Not anymore

#

But I don't want ZHA to add devices even if the devices are not in pairing mode

tropic depot
#

it can't

#

no zigbee thing can

fiery cave
#

Well, it does over here

tropic depot
#

the spec literally doesn't allow it

#

so the devices had to be completely removed from their previous network

fiery cave
#

Yeah, I suspected that, so I don't understand why this is happening.

tropic depot
#

and searching for a new one

#

did you reset one with a remote?

fiery cave
#

I paired 4 lightbulbs this afternoon and this evening all of a sudden almost all of my lightbulbs were paired by ZHA.

#

I did not put them into pairing mode.

#

Can it be that ZHA picks up some settings from Zigbee2MQTT and imports them?

tropic depot
#

wait

#

did you migrate the network?

#

or start from scratch

fiery cave
#

No, I started with a fresh network. When I installed ZHA I have chosen to reset the network.

tropic depot
#

were these devices still active in z2m or did you remove them?

fiery cave
#

They were still active in Zigbee2mqtt

tropic depot
#

i got nothing

#

should be absolutely impossible

#

unless you somehow reset them

#

was anything touchlinked

#

maybe something weird there?

fiery cave
#

Yes, I think so too. That's why I am so surprised. I just reset 4 lightbulbs and now 35 are paired in ZHA.

tropic depot
#

how did you reset them?

#

and what was the proximity to the others

fiery cave
#

4 Ikea lightbulbs by turning them off and on 6 times

tropic depot
#

this is even weirder

#

@austere patio any ideas??

#

this shouldn't be possible

#

the integrations even use different default channels

#

which makes this more interesting

fiery cave
#

I don't get what is happening here. When ZHA was searching for new devices, it came up with devices that weren't even in pairing mode. All these devices were still paired to Zigbee2MQTT (with the dongle-E, so also silicon labs).

tropic depot
#

same

austere patio
#

Can you look at the ZHA configuration page? What channel and PAN ID are in use?

mighty river
fiery cave
#

Now Zigbee2MQTT doesn't work with these devices anymore. I rebooted the host, just now, to see if I will get them back.

fiery cave
austere patio
#

ZHA only discovers unknown devices on the network. If you were to choose "Erase network settings and form a new network" when setting up ZHA, it would form a network with completely random settings on channel 15.

fiery cave
#

ZHA settings show Channel 11 PANID 1A61

austere patio
#

You mention Z2M not starting up: are you using the same stick with both?

fiery cave
#

No, I have two different sticks. The Sonoff Dongle-E on Z2M and the SkyConnect on ZHA

austere patio
#

Yeah, those are Z2M's settings

tropic depot
#

when you set up ZHA?

austere patio
#

If you ever ran Z2M with the SkyConnect after using it with ZHA, Z2M would have overwritten ZHA's settings with its hard-coded defaults

fiery cave
#

I did not use Z2M with the SkyConnect

#

Z2M uses the Dongle-E

austere patio
#

What are these devices plugged in to?

fiery cave
#

In the Blue

austere patio
#

Are you running the OS or your own Docker install?

fiery cave
#

OS

#

Can I check somewhere to what stick ZHA is connected? I am pretty sure it is the SkyConnect, but just checking.

tropic depot
#

find the coordinator device

#

not sure if that will have enough though

austere patio
#

Hmm. I believe you can run the migration flow, click "re-configure current radio", and see what it says the current serial port is

fiery cave
#

ah okay. moment

#

It says Silicon Labs EZSP, which is used in the Dongle-E and the SkyConnect as well. So probably no joy here. I think I will just remove ZHA and set it up from scratch.

tropic depot
#

go to the integration card

#

hit configure

#

then migrate radio

#

or you can just read the config entry file

austere patio
#

You'll want to do the "re-configure" option, not "migrate", since "migrate" will reset the current radio 😆

fiery cave
#

(Just to let you know that I want to keep my Z2M intact as well)

#

Migrate radio sounds scary...

tropic depot
#

do you know how to get to the storage directory

fiery cave
#

yes

tropic depot
#

open config.entries

#

find ZHA

#

it will list the port in use

fiery cave
#

okay, moment

#

Ahhhh! I found three instances of ZHA. Two are connected to the dongle plus and one to the SkyConnect. I guess there's some old data in there from the past....

#

Can I just delete the entries for the dongle plus from the config.entries?

tropic depot
#

wait what

austere patio
#

I would be wary about directly editing the file, especially since ZHA only supports a single instance

tropic depot
#

how on earth are there multiple

fiery cave
#

In the past I connected ZHA to the Dongle Plus for testing purposes, but that was months ago.

tropic depot
#

and removed it?

fiery cave
#

Yes, I removed it back then.

tropic depot
#

something aint right then

fiery cave
#

Indeed 😦

#

Do you think that I can delete them from the config.entries?

#

Just to test if they come back after a restart.

austere patio
#

If you do want to go that route, can you make a backup of the file for debugging? There should be no way to have more than one instance of ZHA installed.

tropic depot
#

can you share the file?

fiery cave
#

Ah, I see this: One enntry is the Dongle Plus, The other entry the the dongle Plus V2 and the third one is the SkyConnect

fiery cave
tropic depot
#

ty

fiery cave
#

I will create a backup of that file and remove the first two instances.

#

Okay, rebooted and now there's still only one entry left

tropic depot
#

yeah the others were ignored discoveries

#

are you absolutely positive you told it to form a completely new network

#

i don't mean to keep asking

molten linden
#

My guess is the sonoff-e was set up at some point in zha and a backup was made. So when skyconnect was set up it restore that backup, hence the dupe network info

tropic depot
#

but from what we see it restored a backup from z2m

fiery cave
#

No worries. I'm glad you are helping me

#

I am absolutely sure I created a new networrk

tropic depot
#

does the pan id in zha

#

match the pan id in z2m?

fiery cave
#

Letmecheck

austere patio
#

Do you happen to have any config for ZHA in your configuration.yaml file? You don't need it, but if it's there, forming a new network will use those settings.

tropic depot
#

ooh good thought

fiery cave
#

I don't think so, but I'll check it. The Zigbee channel for ZHA and Z2M is the same by the way... I cannot find the panID in Z2M

tropic depot
fiery cave
#

No ZHA config in configuration.yaml

#

I'd like to change the channel for ZHA. Does that make sense?

tropic depot
#

you need to form a new network

fiery cave
#

Oh joy

tropic depot
#

right now it appears you have 2 coords running the same way

fiery cave
#

Yeah, I think so too. I'm fine with removing ZHA and installing it again. I only use it for lab testing.

tropic depot
#

puddly... can we mod the backup, change the settings and restore it?

austere patio
#

Easier to just delete ZHA and start again, especially if it picked up 35 devices from Z2M's network 😆

fiery cave
#

Let me try that.

austere patio
#

Make sure to rename /config/zigbee.db as well, so the entities and cached device info doesn't show up when you re-add ZHA

fiery cave
#

And see what channel it will pick up when I set it up from scratch.

tropic depot
#

should be 15

fiery cave
#

Here we go...

#

I created a backup of Zigbee2MQTT before I started this with ZHA. I think it will be a good idea to restore that backup to Z2M first because I removed some devices from there as well. Can I restore the Zigbee2MQTT backup by just copying over all the files from the backup into the Zigbee2MQTT folder, or is there a way that makes more sense?

tropic depot
#

dunno

#

sorry not familiar w/ z2m

fiery cave
#

Okay. I will just try it and see what happens. The files seem the same. And I'll make an extra backup too.

#

Thank you so far for all your help. This is really helpful! 👍🏻

Hi gang, I'm new to all this home assistant lark. In the new year I'm planning on smart sockets and lights throughout my house. I keep seeing people taking about Zigbee sticks. Do I need one?

#

If so, What is the best one?

fiery cave
#

imho the best ones are still the Conbee 2 and the Sonoff Dongle-P

I wouldn't recommend the Conbee at this point. Other than price and availability on Amazon back in the day, it's worse in every way, especially with its firmware issues.

Anyway, I think Sonoff Dongle-P is the safest route atm.

HA doesn't seem to recognize my Sonoff Dongle-E. Do I need to flash it with new firmware? Says it should be plug and play, but apparently not...

#

I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting otherwise, other than that Windows seems to recognize it, thus I assume it's working (new device). Running haos on a rpi.

austere patio
#

What do you mean by "doesn't seem to recognize"? Is it being detected at all?

mighty river
#

Not as far as I can tell, I don't see it under System > Hardware > All hardware

#

But it's my first time running Zigbee in Home Assistant so I'm not too sure what to look for. It's not detected by z2m or ZHA either it seems

#

is there a cli command I can run to see the usb ports and whats connected? I only found one for docker installs

#

I'm running the OS on a SSD powered from the usb connection. I've got a theory that there is not enough power for both SSD and the zigbee stick... but it seems a bit far fetched?

sterile sleet
#

dmesgwill tell you about connects / disconnects

#

you get a hardware overview somewhere in haos settings, I have no idea where

after I disconnect the stick and connect it again, HA dies and I have to wait for it to reboot

Seems like a power issue, surley?

Well, after ripping half of my hair off, it was enough to connect it to a windows machine and do a driver update. Even though it said it had the latest drivers installed, it was instantly found by HA after this.

How would a driver update on windows fix anything? Strange indeed.

hi

#

I would appreciate some help. I just feel beaten at this point, DM me or @ me if you'd like to know more. Thanks everyone, happy holidays.

austere patio
#

Though to start, what integration and Zigbee adapter are you using?

violet kernel
#

Wasnt sure of the rules, didnt wanna dump my issue and then get shit on for not following artifact d.3 subset 4 under clause 59 of the Zigbee Act 2022

#

I am using Conbee2/RaspBee2 with zigbee2mqtt

austere patio
#

Which of the two? A Conbee?

violet kernel
#

I am using Conbee II

#

front end shows the coordinator as Conbee2/RaspBee2

#

The issue I am having is with the re-pairing of Xiaomi Temperature sensors. I at one point have successfully(and with minimal issue) setup and configured a network consisting of Xiaomi/Centralite sensors, and Philips lights. A few months ago, I bought a few more Xiaomi sensors and immediately started having pairing issues. Decided today to force remove all Xiaomi sensors and start fresh. Cant get a single one to pair. If you need more info please let me know, I know I am providing the bear minimum. Thank you

austere patio
#

Is your Conbee on a USB 2.0 extension cable and away from all USB 3.0 ports, SSDs, 2.4GHz routers/access points, etc.?

#

How many sensors? Lights?

violet kernel
#

2.0 extension
Up high on the way, still relatively close to router; 4-5ft. However, it used to be 1-2 ft. I just made the move about a month ago.

austere patio
#

Some Aqara sensors are notoriously difficult to join. How are you resetting them? Holding down the button until after the blue LED blinks three times (~five seconds), then just leaving them alone?

violet kernel
#

35 total devices. 25 Philips bulbs.
Xiaomi: 6/6 motion online, 2/2 contact online, 1/1 vibration, 2/7 temperature, 1/1 PRS, 1/1 Water leak. I think thats it.

#

This is my process:
Enable Join on frontend
Click once/wait. once/wait few times.
click hold 5 sec/wait.
3-4 slow clicks/wait
click hold 5 sec/wait. wait for blink. 3-4 slow clicks/wait
10 sec hold/wait. then loopback^

then my ult move. take out battery, wait few sec, battery back in. rinse repeat^
then full battery swap, wait few sec, battery back in. rinse repeat^

#

At this point I am willing to throw money at it(waas planning to upgrade anyways)
What's my golden ticket to get me out of this mess right now. I saw @fiery cave on Conbee being a spoiled little brat sometimes.
Upgrade coordinator? any gateway settings?(recently ditched my ISP provided shitbox up to a proper AX3000, should have mentioned that my bad).
unpair everything, reinstall mqtta? Move from channel 11 to another?

austere patio
#

For every single temp sensor I've tried, holding down the reset button until after the third blue LED blink was always enough

Is there anyone who has experience with the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus ZBDongle-E . I read on the zigbee2mqtt site it is experimental... Is it working (stable) for anyone?

sour shadow
#

It works, mostly, but if you search the Z2M issues list and the post history here and on the Z2M Discord you'll see there's a lot of people with issues

#

I'd not recommend it

radiant lichen
#

Would you recommend another dongle that has an external antenna?

sour shadow
#

Yes

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.

radiant lichen
#

Would you be able to recommend one, which in time would also support thread or matter?

sour shadow
#

When you get to the point of wanting Thread support, buy a stick for that

radiant lichen
#

ok! Thanks for the help (again) 😄

sour shadow
#

The SkyConnect's multi-radio support has been pulled as it turns out to be hard to do right

radiant lichen
#

Ok

#

I did read that the ZBDongle-P had issues with only supporting a limited number of devices (around 10) .. would you know that experience is common?

sour shadow
#

Wherever you read that... they don't know what they're talking about

radiant lichen
#

Random reddit 🙂

#

That post put me on the E-version.. but the P version is just fine, in your humble opinion?

sour shadow
#

If you're using Z2M it's the only sane choice

#

Or any other CC2652 based stick

radiant lichen
#

Is there an alternative to Z2M?

#

ZHA?

sour shadow
#

Yes

radiant lichen
#

Thanks for taking the time to answering my questions! I appreciate it

#

I just came across the sonoff dongle-p on aliexpress... do you think it is the original or some knock-off?

I got the sonoff plus version and didnt get any issues so far

Is there a best practice for turning on a lot of lights at once? Should you add a delay in the automation, or just let it fire away. At sunset the house lights up and a lot of lights turn on with various dimming levels.

#

Zigbee groups help reduce the load on the network

dry shadow
#

Does HA groups do the same thing?

lilac wharf
#

Zigbee groups create more traffic on the network than unicasts unless the software uses multicast instead of a broadcast (I think ZHA implemented multicast for groups but I could be wrong)

#

HA groups are just unicasts to each device. Nothing special there

dry shadow
#

I'm using ZHA.... I will look into using some groups within Zigbee

#

Thanks!!

im currently passing through /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0,
since it showed up in HA i thought it worked. How would i go about passing it properly?

EDIT: was properly passed already, restarted my pi with the dongle plugged in and now it was automaticly detected

hey guys can someone help me configure zigbee2mqtt with Sonoff ZBDongle-E i cannot start the addon after i configure it the log tells me Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)

i ran out of ideas what to do to it

Probably a mistake

tulip patrol
#

Hi @austere patio, just used your universal-silabs-flasher utility and it worked well to flash over an older build. I did have some issues with attempting to reflash different new builds to a dongle which had existing latest version firmware already installed on it. I don't think it could probe ApplicationType.CPC.

#

And I didn't have to put the dongle in bootloader mode for the firmware to flash successfully. It's when it fails that I had to use a different method which involved manually entering the bootloader and then uploading xmodem (firmware)

austere patio
tulip patrol
#

it is EZSP

austere patio
#

Hmm, that should work then (unless the firmware uses a different baudrate)

tulip patrol
#

that's probably it, I was testing a higher baudrate build at the time

austere patio
#

Ah. In that case, you can specify --baudrate 230400 and --bootloader-baudrate 115200, to use different baudrates for the application and the bootloader.

tulip patrol
#

this is curious, I've just joined my openthread border router to a google nest hub and it has joined but is now running on channel 21 instead of 15, zigbee still working on channel 15 (multiprotocol)

#

thanks, though I suspect I won't need to use increased baudrates for a little while

austere patio
#

If the Zigbee network is still working, the Thread channel is being read/cached incorrectly. From what I understand, the radio can only use a single channel for both networks.

tulip patrol
#

yeah that's what I thought

#

maybe it's joined over network instead of over the radio and is just relaying the channel

mellow geode
#

the PR you referenced is very old and outdated.

#

all current Hue image links are in that repo at this point

fair mountain
mellow geode
#

Are you using ZHA or Z2M?

fair mountain
#

ZHA

#

and I do:

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Koenkk/zigbee-OTA/master/index.json | jq -r '.[] | .url' | xargs -P16 -i sh -c "wget --no-clobber {} || true"

mellow geode
#

Can you send me the log message where it said the image doesn't exist?

fair mountain
#

anyway it updated with that OTA, but hmm. ill kick HA ..

mellow geode
#

That is a really old image that was never in the repo AFAIK

fair mountain
#

when you restart ZHA does it load all the firmwares from the otau directory that you have configured?

mellow geode
#

yeah

fair mountain
#

okay then it was there at some point in the repo

mellow geode
#

Hmm, I'd delete all current images and re-download the latest ones

fair mountain
#

i did

#

that's why the msg above.

#

But I had assumed that ZHA reloads the directory periodically ..

#

which it does not do

mellow geode
fair mountain
#

yes.

mellow geode
fair mountain
#

ah

#

lol then I ended up downgrading the firmware on that light

mellow geode
#

Nah, ZHA won't downgrade firmware

fair mountain
#

it def. did an update with the image when I ran int ..

#

the cluster command

mellow geode
#

Perhaps it just did the older update

fair mountain
#

and that light has been up for motnhs, and my otau folder had been ther efor ~1 year

#

Firmware 0x43005801 -> 0x43005b01

#

and when I run the cluster command and grep the logs for the nwk id I dont see any results now

#

is it possible the firmware was just missed? or it ahs a new filename now?

#

sadly restarting HA now just kicked off a ton of firmware updates (eek). probably not what I wanted to have happen right now ...

#

(mostly because we're in the middle of a storm.)

mellow geode
#

0x43005801: 67.88.1
0x43005b01: 67.91.1 (this is the version you updated to)

#

but 67.93.11 is the latest one (for that Hue device)

#

So you installed an older firmware

#

But yeah, if you put all new firmware files into the zha_ota directory, then restart (Z)HA, some devices will ask if updates are available and ZHA will provide them.

#

Older Hue devices (like the one you have there) need the image_notify command to start updating though

fair mountain
#

it is ancient

#

Is there a script to send a image_notify to everything to udpate? I don't relish going through 130 bulbs and pasting IEEE MACs.

mellow geode
#

heh, did that just yesterday lol

fair mountain
#

I only even updated this one because it stopped responding to Zigbee commands until I reset it and paired it to my coordinator

mellow geode
#

Is it a Hue Bloom light?

fair mountain
#

afteryes

#

One of the originals, I bought it in like 2013 ..

mellow geode
#

Yeah, I have one of those too and it stops responding randomly sometimes

fair mountain
#

oh okay.

#

weird it was oaky for like 2 years

#

with Hue hub

mellow geode
#

What coordinator/Zigbee stick are you using?

fair mountain
#

Sonoff 3.0 USB TI CC2652P, Z-Stack 3.30+ (build 20220219)

mellow geode
#

Also, zha_toolkit (custom component) has an alternative OTA service where you can specify a entity ID and it'll send it to the correct device: https://github.com/mdeweerd/zha-toolkit#ota_notify
Don't think they support sending it to multiple devices though

fair mountain
#

on a Raspberry Pi over ser2net

#

i have ZHA toolkit

#

wow this is updating a buttload of devices.. i pray to the power gods that we keep power

#

Not one of my smartest decisions.

mellow geode
#

you can unplug the devices (don't try it though) and they won't/shouldn't brick themselves

#

it should even resume the update at the correct place when re-gaining power IIRC

fair mountain
#

TIL

#

I always assume EEPROM updates are rife with errors

#

i wnder if they have dual image slots or something

mellow geode
#

not sure how it's implemented exactly, but yeah I think so

fair mountain
#

ill take your word for it even if you're just lying to me to make me feel better 😉

old kernel
#

Heya this is probably asked often, but is zha network heal the same as it used to be ... Just unplug for 30 mins and then wait?

odd mango
#

I have weird issues with zha and some devices.... Devices won't send their status. Like door sensor, wall switch (I can control the switch via HA, but HA status is not updated when I switch it physically), also I can control my dimmer from HA, but HA will not see the status of that dimmer (if it's on or off).

#

wall switch started working properly when I re-powered it, but dimmer is still having issues.

#

any way to debug this?

Hey there. zigbee2mqtt showing me avail firmware updates for a bunch of devices. Hitting the install button I eventually get a "failed, no new image avail" message. How can I debug that?

#

Hey there,
this question might be really dumb, so please be lenient with me:
What is the difference between the router and the coordinator-firmware for zigbee2mqtt-compatible usb sticks (mine is the CC2652RB-based one from slaesh) and which do I need to flash on it to update mine? (I have problems with my zigbee-devices so I'm trying to follow the "before submitting" steps on the zigbee2mqtt Github page.)

Coordinator Is what you’d want. Router makes the stick just a dedicate member of the network for repeating/routing.

Is there a way to change a setting on a device and not have it logged? I have a script to fade some lights through holiday colors, and my log is filled with all the changes every 15 seconds.

#

Also, can I not have the script traced? My trace log is really large

carmine hamlet
#

Yes, you can control what gets recorded at all in the recorder integration, as well as what gets included in the history and logbook

#

And you can filter the logs

Hi all. M2Q/OTA question. I'm getting nags that I've got 13 things that need updates. But when I tell it to go and do the update I'm getting messages saying "Update of 'Light_Hallway_Front' failed (No new image available)".

#

Does it matter? Should I care? I'm not concerned about there being an update I'm missing so much as the system thinking that there is.

#

OOps. Or, now that I look back, what @mighty river had to say.

does zigbee have an equivilant event, like zwave central scene, it throws for switches in "smart bulb mode"?

I reflashed my RPi-Header-Zigbee Module and now get "Error: network commissioning timed out - most likely network with the same panId or extendedPanId already exists nearby" during zigbee2mqtt startup. I reflashed it several times with "docker run --rm --device /dev/ttyAMA0:/dev/ttyAMA0 -e FIRMWARE_URL=https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/raw/master/coordinator/Z-Stack_3.x.0/bin/CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20220219.zip ckware/ti-cc-tool -ewv -p /dev/ttyAMA0".

because I do have a header zigbee stick (cod.m Zigbee CC2652P RPi Module) I can't just use a windows to reflash. Does anyone has an idea?
