So these Sonoff ZBMINIs, it seems you have to either open the in-wall box again to pair if needed, or leave the power off for 10 seconds and it will go into auto-repair mode. What if there’s a power outage? Does it go back to being paired after a while?

onyx briar
#

My sonoff devices have been pretty good about picking back up the network, I haven't tried any of the in wall versions

#

I'm using ZHA and it's been pretty good at recognizing devices that have already been paired

#

Based on the wiring diagram I found it looks like it's always powered and handles the switches

grim igloo
#

The FP1 actually does react fast if you use the right event. The YouTubers that reviewed it all missed this but robc pointed it out a while back

#

I changed my automations to use them and now I’d say it’s probably as fast as my hue motion sensors

tropic depot
#

Yup I mentioned to them too 🤷🏻‍♂️

I know this might have already been discussed, but has anyone else had issues with the IKEA scene or on/off buttons? Mine will work maybe 25% of the time

#

The IKEA remotes I have work fine but the smaller button devices don't seem to send information after they're added to the network

peak vapor
#

remove and readd maybe. dunno but I've seen weird behavior with the ones I've paired until it's "all good" too but after that no issues

#

Z2M or ZHA?

onyx briar
#

ZHA with the Sky connect, I've tried re-adding but I still get the non responsiveness

rare night
#

Seeing many issues with ZHA on some of the latest versions 2023.4 101 issues open. Wondering if this is just coincidental or if the issues I'm seeing are part of ZHA and I should just quit and double down with Z-Wave.

  • Brand new Aqara sensors losing 25% battery in 1-2 days
  • Hue bulbs initially paired, but now unavailable & won't re-join after deleting
  • Powered devices also go unresponsive
  • Reconfigure doesn't complete successfully, even for devices that appear responsive
    Rather frustrating for such simple devices; my HUE bridge is 6 years old and I was hoping to ditch it completely after wiping all bulbs and disconnecting it in favor of my Nortek HUSBZB-1 stick, but now connections seem so unstable I'm re-considering Zigbee entirely. Any guidance appreciated.
onyx briar
#

I've noticed some hiccups with the latest update, but overall I'm happy with the ZHA performance

#

There does seem to be pretty frequent updates. I find I need to do a full system reboot to clear any weirdness

#

I was having issues that I couldn't track down until the first April update, then I got a repair warning that my thread channel wasn't the same as my ZigBee network channel. My ZigBee was on 20, and the thread default's to 15. I had to remove the thread network and readd it

#

This might just be a skyconnect problem

#

I had been having issues of scenes not fully starting or transitioning properly

limpid light
#

the hue bridge is way better than that

#

even with my sonoff 3.0 stick the hue bridge just performs better with hue bulbs

tulip patrol
#

@forest saddle you can turn the switch off and on 10 times and it will put the zbmini into pairing mode, this works for zbmini-l not sure about zbmini as that has never gone offline for me

The Sonoff 3.0 stick seems fairly popular

@grim igloo I almost gave up on zwave entirely because of that stupid nortek

#

hey everyone, I'm trying to debug my new Aeotec (formerly SmartThings, also Samjin) multipurpose sensor, the door sensor using the magnet works fine, but it does not properly update temperature or acceleration (I can force update temperature by looking up the TemperatureMeasurement measured_value attribute, but it won't do it on its own)

grim igloo
#

In my head Aeotec are zwave only. Didn’t realize they had zigbee stuff

austere patio
#

Click the "Reconfigure" button

late berry
#

was hoping to use it to detect when my dishwasher is running, I'm not sure the vibrations will be enough to trigger it but it hasn't updated the temp either and it rose by over 10C over an hour

late berry
late berry
austere patio
#

Make sure the sensor is awake

#

Click buttons on it, move it around, trigger the door sensor's reed switch with a magnet, etc.

late berry
#

I'll retry once I can manipulate it, hopefully simple as that

late berry
#

even with opening/closing the door repeatedly half the bindings fail in the reconfig but in spite of that it looks like it's actually updating both acceleration and temperature now, so I'll see if it lasts

I'm trying to get my Hue bulbs connected. I have reset them with the remote. They were previously paired with a Nortek stick with no issues. Trying to get them working with an HA Yellow. Even practically next to the HAY the bulb doesn't show up.

austere patio
#

Where is your Yellow positioned? Near any SSDs, USB 3.0 devices, WiFi routers, etc.?

silent dew
#

Not near wifi... SSD? No, I don't think so unless m.2 NVMe counts.

#

USB 3.0 devices is pretty vague. 🙂

austere patio
#

Any active USB 3.0 ports

silent dew
#

I was able to pair an old Iris motion sensor.

#

But I can try moving the yellow away from any other equipment. 🤷

austere patio
#

If the bulbs aren't trying to join the Yellow's network, it usually means one of three things: they haven't actually been reset, the Yellow isn't permitting joins, or there is too much interference.

grim igloo
#

No auto scan for zigbee yet for zha right?

austere patio
#

What do you mean by "auto scan"?

grim igloo
#

Automatic energy scan

#

Thought the other day you mentioned it in beta

austere patio
#

It's been in stable since 2023.4.0

grim igloo
#

So he should already be on the best channel if he set it up after that?

silent dew
#

@austere patio So let's address those one at a time. I'm fairly certain they are being reset. I have the hue remote (literally got it today, so not paired with anything). Turn on light, hold remote near bulb, hold down power. Bulb turns off, on, and eventually shows green color, then steady white. That should be reset, correct?

#

What would be an indication of the second thing of Yellow not permitting joins? (I joined the motion sensor just an hour ago)

austere patio
#

If you can join stuff, that part works

silent dew
#

And as far as interference... It's now practically sitting in the middle of a room by itself. No change.

austere patio
#

Leaving just interference or the Hue bulbs not resetting properly. I don't have a Hue remote to test, unfortunately, so someone else that has used it to reset the bulbs may need to chime in.

grim igloo
#

I believe that’s accurate but a couple of my bulbs I had to reset twice with the remote

silent dew
#

This particular bulb has probably been reset 10 times.

#

It's good and reset lol

grim igloo
#

If you still have a hub you can join to the hue hub then delete the device in the hue app. That 100% makes it automatically start trying to join a network

silent dew
#

That I don't have.

grim igloo
#

Shouldn’t need to just an option

#

Btw you’re trying to join bulbs closest to the coordinator first right?

silent dew
#

I have one about 2 feet from it.

austere patio
#

Try moving it further away

silent dew
#

Looking for that sweet spot....

#

One sec.

austere patio
#

I can join mine rooms away, through multiple walls, so it's not really a distance thing. But it could be if you're way too close.

silent dew
#

About 10 feet away now.

austere patio
#

And is it a PoE Yellow, or a non-PoE Yellow? If the latter, are you using the included PSU or a generic one?

silent dew
#

Non-PoE, included PSU

#

Moved to 10 feet, no dice. Also tried another bulb in another room. Nada.

#

Logs don't show anything useful that I can tell.

austere patio
#

Which points to the Hue bulbs, unfortunately. Scanning and joining is done by the device, not the coordinator, so if you see nothing in the logs, nothing has attempted to join. Are you resetting the bulbs within a minute of clicking the "Add devices" button?

silent dew
#

Yes.

#

I have only tried 2 bulbs so far. Let me try some of the others I have.

austere patio
#

I don't mean they're defective, it's just that they're likely not resetting properly. I think you can form ad-hoc networks between the bulbs and the remote, without a coordinator in the mix. If you can, find a video or something that shows your exact combination of devices. Even simple ones like bulbs that reset after an off/on pattern aren't easy to get right 😄

silent dew
#

I'll take a look.

grim igloo
#

I’m seriously wondering if there isn’t a hardware defect on certain skyconnect and yellow si chip devices given the amount of people who either have no issues or all the issues and nowhere in between

silent dew
#

I think you nailed it @austere patio....

#

I just hit the power button on the remote... All the bulbs turned off. 🤦‍♂️

#

So instead of resetting the bulbs it was pairing them with the remote!

#

I didn't even know that was a thing

grim igloo
#

Ya it’s useful for certain scenarios

silent dew
#

I'm sure... But not right now! lol

grim igloo
#

I followed the directions on the z2m site with resetting via remote

#

Maybe look there and see if those directions differ from what you’ve been doing

silent dew
#

I wonder if it's because I have the dimmer with the on/off on the same button?

#

hi everyone!

#

My problem is: after 2023.4 upgrade installation lost connect with devices connected router but not coordinator

#

not just my HA more than 3 home system too. i am using zigbee2mqtt

#

After upgrade any device can't join, an i can't see anything when i am trying it on th log window

sour shadow
#

HA upgrades don't have anything to do with Z2M - your problem is unrelated to the update of HA

#

Check the logs in Z2M

odd kestrel
#

How do I make my hue bulbs default to a normal white when they receive power, instead of turning blue?

shrewd pewter
#

I unplugged the zigbee stick and plugged it back, for some reason Zigbee2mqtt created new entities on HA, oldnames + "_2"
like Kitchen_1 became Kitchen_1_2
and I still have all the old entities, that are unavailable

Is there any way to solve this?

silent dew
#

It seems that resetting with this remote is not possible. I think I'm going to try the hue-thief with my nortek stick.

warm delta
#

I am having a problem with zigbee2mqtt, I installed it as docker container, it connects to my mosquitto server, but when I try to see the web panel I get this error ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

#

why could this be?

peak vapor
#

as an add-on inside HA or do you mean independent docker containers you're managing?

#

oh wait you said it connects together. are you trying to see the web panel for Z2M? how are you trying to connect to that?

Hey everybody, I have been trying to install my Tuya Smart Sockets. The guide says "add them to the smart life" app.
The Smart Socket just won't connect to the app, after many resets but INSTANTLY connects to my Zigbee2MQTT web interface the moment I allow it. What gives?

#

Do I not have to connect it to the app anymore?

fair mountain
#

How long should it take for a Zigbee network to 'work' again after a firmware updaet? im like 30 minutes in and the controller keeps dropping off.

# grim igloo No…

So many guides telling me to connect it to the app first and then to Zigbee

grim igloo
#

Well you can’t pair to two things at once

#

Once it’s on your zigbee mesh you control it with hass

neon orbit

Whether the hass app or webui or automations or whatever

#

The Tuya integration integrates all Powered by Tuya devices you have added to the Tuya Smart and Tuya Smart Life apps.
All Home Assistant platforms are supported by the Tuya integration, except the lock and remote platform.

#

well sounds good to me 👍 if I dont have to connect it to their app we good

grim igloo
#

Try to not buy tuya man

#

Better hardware exists

neon orbit
#

I gotcha, it just got recommended to me I guess in this discord 😅

#

but for now if it measures the power consumption I am happy

grim igloo
fair mountain
#

Gonna assume this means the network is trying to 'settle':

neon orbit
grim igloo
#

Lol

#

Some people suggest them without knowing better

neon orbit
#

So what Smart Socket that measures power consumption in the EU would you recommend? My goal is to map out ALL energy consumption per device.

#

if I ever find the guy that recommended me Tuya, I cant hold myself accountable

Just added 3 hue bulbs using zha. One of the three lights turn on when motion is detected in another room.

But for the first while Iw as seeing controller disconnects

It was doing this.

and yes im aware USB serial cant be sent RTS

so I either rebooted the machine or reconnected the USB device

#

If it’s a Bluetooth bulb, can you add it through the Hue app and then click the „factory reset“ button there? (Then, allow joins with ZHA)

austere patio
silent dew
#

No bt bulbs. V2 dimmer switch. These bulbs are at least 4 yrs old.

fair mountain
#

I've restarted HA like 30 times

mellow geode
fair mountain
#

So my process was:

  1. Upgrade the stick
  2. Plug the stick back in
  3. Restart HomeAssistant
austere patio
#

That should be enough

#

If it's not recovering routes, that's entirely handled by the firmware

fair mountain
#

the whole zigbee network is kinda screwy. even light switches i have directly bound to light switches are responding slowly

#

.. bulbs

austere patio
#

That definitely isn't controlled by the coordinator

fair mountain
#

only started since the upgrade of the firmware, so idk what to say

silent dew
mellow geode
#

Did you power cycle the light once before trying the reset process (holding both buttons)?

silent dew
#

Absolutely

mellow geode
#

It’s a security feature to not allow touch link resets after 30 minutes of being powered on

silent dew
#

Never more than 30 min for sure. Never more than 5. 😁

mellow geode
#

Hmm. Resetting on v1 and v2 dimmers is done with holding both the first and fourth button though

silent dew
#

So that is supposed to work?

mellow geode
#

Yes

silent dew
#

Did I mess up at some point trying to pair the dimmer? Which did work...

#

But it will try with doing the top and bottom buttons again.

mellow geode
#

Well, when you pair the dimmer directly without joining it to a real network first, it’s not reset

#

Holding the buttons 5–10cm near the socket should work

silent dew
#

Right now I think I have the dimmer reset and not joined anymore.

#

So yeah. I will try with the top and bottom buttons again. Thank you for the guidance.

mellow geode
silent dew
#

Ok. That's good to know.

mellow geode
#

If you have a v1 dimmer by chance, then also try that

silent dew
#

I do not.

#

What was happening before was that I was pairing the bulbs directly to the dimmer so they weren't even trying to pair with anything else. That's what holding down just the top on/off button on the V2 does.

grim igloo
#

so he has the new v2 dimmer and it doesnt reset them?

#

or it should and he's just having issues?

silent dew
#

@grim igloo that's what I'd like to know. 😁

mellow geode
mellow geode
#

Same as with the v1 dimmer

I'll try that again.

Hi I'm looking for some support/help

I posted in the #general-archived channel just before but...

Fairly recently I picked up a Skyconnect USB stick for Zigbee, and I've successfully connected a couple of devices to it (Both Hue Lightbulbs and Linkind leak sensors)

After everything was connected and vaguely working I couldn't leave well enough alone and saw the update to matter firmware button....

And now the leak sensors don't work

Am I SoL, and in need of downgrading the firmware, or is there a compatibility button I can press somewhere?

The errors are pretty obtuse and seem to be very protocol levelish

@mellow geode so ive setup my philips hue sensor

and it gives Occupancy: Detected when I move past it

but Motion remains as Clear

#

is this normal? what does this mean? sorry to bother you so much

#

Ah, that sensor is a bit weird. It uses the occupancy cluster for motion

Price is same... 25€ smart switch or 13€ module + 14€ manual switch + more work. I don't know, advise which solution is better for long-term use in HA. thanks

I have an IKEA light panel (irsta) which is connected to a light power supply that has zigbee connectivity

How would I approach pairing the (hard to move) power supply driver to my skyconnect controller

Hey! Slightly unrelated to Home Assistant, but if I buy a Zigbee dimmer, and a normal Zigbee hub, and use the Tuya app to make a schedule for the dimmer to turn on and off, where is that schedule stored? In the dimmer, in the hub, in my phone, or in the cloud somewhere? I'm just trying to understand how the base technology works before I add Home Assistant on top of it all 🙂

sour shadow
#

It would be in the Tuya cloud, or maybe in the Tuya Zigbee hub if you'd made the mistake of buying one

#

The solution is to not use the Tuya app, or anything Tuya WiFi

ember valve
sour shadow
#

Yes

#

Then everything is 100% local, you have no reliance on a cloud service

ember valve
#

Alright, and by port forwarding to the raspberry pi I can access everything in my home from my phone when I'm not at home I'm guessing?

sour shadow
#

Or by using a VPN, or a Cloudflare tunnel

#

All depends on what you want to do, and what you want to access

ember valve
#

A slightly unrelated question but I hope it's ok that I ask it here; When you install HA on a RBP, is that a linux OS running on it then running the HA app, or is it an OS by itself? I'm wondering if I'm able to run other services on the RBP other than HA at the same time on it. Like a Samba server sharing a harddrive over my LAN, and a script that changes my DynDNS's IP whenever my own public IP changes.

sour shadow
#

Then you'd want to use the Container install method, not HAOS

You will need a USB extension cable for the "gateway", and you'll want to use it with ZHA, not Zigbee2MQTT

#

The pinned messages here are worth a read

If I run my Pi with an ethernet cable rather than Wifi do I still need an USB extension?

Hello I am new to HA 🙂
I got this zigbee PGST door sensor:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000085456965.html
I am trying to connect it using Zigbee2MQTT but I can't find the device.
The device seems to work by a red light when the second part attached.
I also managed to connect a "smart plug" to the Zigbee2MQTT.
any ideas what to do?

#

I am using the sonoff USB dongle plus as a gateway

Is your dongle on a USB extension cable?

brave otter
#

What's the thought process behind the automatic naming of devices in ZHA? For example, adding a switch named "foo" get called switch.foo_switch, a light gets called light.foo_light. Why the redundancy after the underscore?

hybrid cloud
#

well what would happen then if you had 2 different sensor entities sensor.device_update and sensor.device_illuminance

#

so now do you want a standard naming scheme thats domain.device_devicetype or do you want to complicate it by doing domain.device_devicetype if devicetype != domain else domain.device

#

so whatever devicetype is actually called, it makes sense to not complicate the process and just create a standardized naming scheme

#

maybe theres probably a more technically accurate explanation but form a logic perspective, thats how i see it

New to Home Assistant - trying to setup Conbee II

shrewd pewter
#

yesterday all my zigbee2mqtt entities on HA (from MQTT integration) doubled with _2 at the end of each entity.
for example Kitchen_1 became Kitchen_1_2 and the original one became unavailable.

I spent about 1 hour to manually change all the new names to previous and delete the original entities.

Now after a restart, it has just happened again...
What should I do?

Hey guys, I have MOSZB-140 Motion Sensor from Frient/Develco connected to RaspBee II and controlled by **ZHA **using this quirk https://bit.ly/416kASI . I am wondering, how can I trigger or implement a function to be able to trigger manufacturer specific attributes (atts, not clusters) ? I can't see them being implemented in the quirk and am unable to fire command from ZHA on specific cluster. This device supports 3 Occupancy states based on setup of Manuf spec attributes for each. 1st Occupancy will change it's state if movement detected + temp below target, 2nd if movement detected + temp above and 3rd if movement detected + Lux below. But these temp above/below and lux atts are not simply there. For more info please see develco technical documentation https://bit.ly/3MysoZ3 , page 21

sour shadow
#

Why not just handle the logic in HA?

slate leaf
#

Of course I can handle it in nodered, but why not to move unnecessary logic to device itself if it's its feature, right?

sour shadow

Spreading out the logic makes it more likely you'll wonder why things are misbehaving when you forget what you did

Well agree and disagree. There are pros and cons of both approaches. But that's for another topic.

hello, I just blindly bought temperature and humidity sensor (TH01Z) but I didn't check if ZHA or zigbee2mqtt is supporting it or not. It has a temperature, humidity, and clock on the display. Sadly the whole thing doesn't work with my ZHA. It doesn't show any sensors, it's just an empty device in my Home Assistant. Is there any way to add it myself or at least help with implementing it in the ZHA? (Without any coding knowledge, maybe just sending some kind of info about the device to the right person...?) Would really love to see this device being added. Thanks a lot for answers and have a great day!

What's the "manufacturer id"?

I would also double check these sources, making sure you have the model listed exactly as it is in zha, on the off chance its different, or even spaced differently, you might find something on one of the two sites

Hi, is it possible to use Home assistant as a Zigbee hub?

slate leaf
# violet eagle That's exactly what I wanted!

Think where you wanna install that device before buy. Frient is nice device but motion sensors are being usually mounted on or near ceiling so the temp sensor might be useless unless you do some grouping with other temp sensors to get average temp. Also if you want that device only as informative element, you should be good. But if you start build a automations depending on that temp sensor you will most probably have to do that grouping as mentioned before or apply manual offset. However the difference might not be so drasticall in you flat/house, it depends also on your isolation and heating system you have. I live in old victorian house with high ceilings wich is not isolated at all and difference between floor and ceiling can be even 5°C . Other issue is TRV's are being mounted near floor so my automation is being driven by external sensor in more proper 1.7m height. In summary think first what you want to achieve and then buy device to build your project. Buying multisensors now might be fun now, but can be expensive later.

In lieu of immediate h,elp I've done some more digging on my own

https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Linkind_LS21001.html My device is listed as working... but there's a quirk under ZHA device handlers (https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/dev/zhaquirks/linkind/a001082.py)

Is it possible that after the firmware upgrade the quirk isn't being "applied"? I have seen my device listed as "unk" manufacture/device, though that seemed to fix itself with time?

Why the crap is deconz so incredibly unreliable. Keeps dropping devices, and then when I try to re-add them, deconz refuses to actually send the deletion update to home assistant, so the device is just locked in

You can use the same tool to change the channel

You’ll have to re pair every device

You’d just need to update the channel to match in your z2m config and in the backup

Zigpy-cli starts the network and sends out channel change broadcasts

You can do it a few times to make sure everything hears it

Then you start up z2m after changing the config and backup so it doesn’t revert the channel

Question, I think I forgot or messed up a step in my MQTT config/installation.
I am using docker-compose for the installation of my containers.

What I got running:

  • Zigbee2MQTT dashboard where I connected my first device (Tuya Smart socket) and I can see that it is working in the dashboard.
  • On the MAP in the Z2M dashboard I see my coordinator and my SmartSocket connected with a 128/139 link quality (decent)
  • In my home assistant I have made a new user and added a integration 'MQTT' and connected that to my HA ip, that connected smooth. (I did not adjust anything in there like the Qos)
  • on my host server I have mosquitto-data with data and log dir in there.
  • on my host server I have zigbee2mqtt-data with configuration.yaml coordinator_backup.json database.db log state.json in there. In the configuration.yaml file I have the newly added device in there.

The problem is.. the device does not show up in HA.

#

Feels like im so close

#

I might've found the problem in my Z2M config file.

permit_join: true
mqtt:
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
server: mqtt://mqtt
serial:
port: /dev/ttyUSB0
frontend:
port: 8080

The server probably needs to be mqtt:// and then my ip address:1883 but im not sure

grim igloo
#

uhh

#

permit_join: true....

#

what is you doin

#

also i doubt ttyUSB0 is the right thing there

neon orbit
#

its the right one

#

also I am I guess learning but the official documents say put permit_join:true the first time and then just change it to false to stop accidental connections

grim igloo
#

that's not what the docs say at all

# 

By setting permit_join: true in your configuration.yaml the joining will automatically be enabled when starting Zigbee2MQTT. Joining is not automatically disabled.```
# 

Enabling joining via the frontend ensures that joining is disabled automatically after 255 seconds. The joining button can be found in the right top.```
#

someone convinced you to switch from haos to docker didnt they?

#

and now you're fumbling forward instead of just enjoying shit working lol

how long a delay?

#

#

although my primary use case is having them set by time of day, don't often hit the switch on them

old setup is a couple seconds as you flip the switch an the 12v power supply has to come up.

#

want to keep 12v applied and let the controller handle turning them on/off.

Hello there!

after quite some years I moved form Home assistant "os" to Home assistant "core" in a docker (Intel NUC with Ubuntu server with CasaOS). I got everything to work as it was before (except the add-ons of course) but I have problems with ZHA, it does not find my ConBee II.

Form my search I can tell that I need to reconfigure the device path both in the docker container settings and in ZHA but I don't know how and where to start. Could someone help me find out how to do it?

20221226 crashes the coordinator until it gets power cycled if I have a power blip or flip a breaker and a number of Zigbee devices go offline/online at the same time. I can also crash the coordinator if I pull the air gap on an Inovelli switch to like 4 or so lights. Which is a real problem if I am trying to pair an Inovelli switch (I'm installing >30 of them) because I end up in this loop of having to power cycle everything like ten times to get something to pair.

Is there any primer on Zigbee, focused on interoperability and tradeoffs? I see that both Hue and Tradfri are Zigbee based, but I'd like to use just the bulbs with my HA Yellow - it looks straightforward, but I bet there's a sea of caveats there... :D

What about ... other people's WiFi?

limpid finch
#

The scanner only found 4 neighbours wifi. 1 on channel 1, 1 on channel 5, 1 on channel 6 and one on channel 11. Im on channel 1

#

How do I know if these can interfere with my zigbee on channel 25?

sour shadow
#

There's a pinned message with an image that explains it

limpid finch
#

Well, the image that I looked at, says that wifi 1, 6 and 11 doesnt overlap with zigbee channels 11-22

sour shadow
#

No...

#

Zigbee channel 11 pretty clearly overlaps with WiFi channel one

limpid finch
#

*sorry I meant, only overlaps with these ones

sour shadow
#

The "safe" Zigbee channels are usually 15, 20, 25, and 26

limpid finch
#

And maybed you can overlap other channels due to sidebands

#

So if Im already using a safe channel, what should I do? I think the only thing that can possibly be interfering is the sideband from the neighbor wifi that is on channel 11. But Im not sure

sour shadow
#

Check Zigbee2MQTT's log file when it happens again

limpid finch
#

Cool, what are things to look for? If Im not wrong when I was having the issue. Everytime that I pressed any switch, it slowly published 5 messages MQTT. But now that I just restarted those 5 messages are published straight away

sour shadow
#

I've no idea shrug

#

You also want to check the system health - CPU and RAM use

limpid finch
#

If there were some sort of interference would I ever be running that smoth everytime that I restarted?

limpid finch
sour shadow
#

Well, you check it on the computer running Zigbee2MQTT

limpid finch
#

No worries, I use a virtual box, but I believe you are talking about the Task Manager outside of it. If so, I will keep an eye on it. Thanks so much for the help

You want to see if Zigbee2MQTT is starting to use lots of CPU/RAM

Guys quick question, what if I want to delete and re-install HA from scratch, what happens with my zigbee devices, do I need to re-pair them? or are thay saved into my cordinator?

If that so, when I install ZHA again will all my devices appear again automatically?

sour shadow
#

ZHA has a separate backup (and restore) option

austere patio
#

Coordinator state is spread between /config/zigbee.db and the stick itself. If you delete everything in /config/ and set up ZHA from scratch, it will ask you what you want to do: either keep the settings on the stick (and slowly re-discover some devices on your network on its own), or form a new network and start completely from scratch.

grim igloo
#

I’m not trying to be pedantic but if the entire config is in the zigbee.db then that’s a lot different than specific required data also being split to the coordinator

austere patio
#

Well ZHA assumes the stick state is accurate (will change in the next release) and will prefer to use it over what's in zigbee.db. But the database contains a copy of everything the stick does in the form of a backup.

grim igloo
#

I see

clever cedar
austere patio
#

No

#

If you do have zigbee.db, that is what will happen. If you delete everything and just keep the stick, then ZHA will have no idea what is on your network and just treat existing devices that contact it as new joins, so over time some old devices will be re-discovered (i.e. routers, but likely not all sensors).

What exactly are you trying to do?

fair mountain
#

hey @austere patio:

With ser2net you originally recommended NONE 1STOPBIT -XONXOFF NOBREAK, but the z2m serial page recommends 8DATABITS NONE 1STOPBIT. Which means they allow software flow control. Thoughts?

austere patio
#

Whatever works works 😄

fair mountain
#

Trying to track down my crashes and @tropic depot recommends I get rid of ser2net to rule it out as the problem

clever cedar
austere patio
#

I'm not sure I follow

#

If you want to reset the Zigbee network, re-configure ZHA via the migration button, select re-configure the current serial port, and then erase network settings. All of your entity and device customizations will remain but the network will be gone, allowing you to re-join devices. Why do this, though?

fair mountain
#

I suspect I should add -RTSCTS because the SONOFF stick does not support hardware flow control ..

austere patio
#

You'll know if your settings are correct as long as you don't see communication errors with the application

fair mountain
#

It was set at 1DATABIT before which I feel may be contributing to some of my issues

austere patio
#

If the serial port settings are in any way incorrect, things just will not work. If you're referring to the USB crash you were seeing before, that's definitely not caused by incorrect settings. Are you running ser2net on another computer or another pi?

clever cedar
austere patio
#

If you plan on keeping the Zigbee network exactly the way it was before, why delete your entity customizations and the rest of HA's config though?

fair mountain
austere patio
#

Switch to another device to rule out the pi. The error you're seeing is specific to it.

fair mountain
#

the error went away when i switched firmware versions

#

20211217 = original firmware, no crashing. radio issues, NWK_TABLE_FULL
20220219 = mostly stable, had some radio issues where zigbee wouldnt erspond. would not crash
20221226 = network fully stable, but able to crash if I flipped a breaker or air gapped a Inovelli switch
20230410 = massive issues,after upgrade the network took like 2 hours to be stable, had to restart USB/rpi many times because it kept dropping. NWK_TABLE_FULL errors again, light commands wouldnt work properly even after a day. No more crashing when flipping a breaker. But then the controller itself randomly crashed.
20221102 ( what I'm on now) = Network immediately came back up after a downgrade, netwokr is stable, all lights are working, everything is responsive. No crash yet, but I haven't tried to flip a breaker again.
This is why I don't think it's ser2net or the RPi itself.

Hello! I'm new to home assistant, and I'm having an issue with z2mqtt/mosquitto... any help would be appreciated!

I'm trying to point the zigbeemqtt to the mosquitto broker, but I'm not getting anything coming through in the logs...
When I press a button I have, it emits in the z2mqtt logs just fine, but not in the mosquitto logs.
Any tips on how to diagnose/fix this?

I have a feeling it might be an issue with the server IP I'm using?

setup/details:
I'm running home assistant in vmware on an extra pc I have using the bridged network adapter mode.
I have a zigbee usb adapter plugged into that machine
have an aqara button that I have connected to z2mqtt

sour shadow
#

Zigbee2MQTT won't even start if it can't reach the broker

trim elk
#

hmm... so should I not expect any output in the mosquitto logs when I press the button?

sour shadow
#

Mosquitto won't write about messages in its logs

#

At most you can expect messages about client connection/disconnection

#

If you want to see published messages use a tool like MQTT Explorer or MQTT fx and subscribe to #

trim elk
#

ok, that's great to know. Thank you!

#

quick one for y'all - anyone have a good outdoor zigbee repeater? building a connected/automated zigbee sprinkler system and i just want to strengthen the signal out there

peak vapor
#

maybe you could look into some directional antennas?

#

or maybe there's a way to backhaul it via wifi/ethernet/etc

#

I guess it's the same with wifi since it's 2.4ghz just easier to find directional stuff I imagine

Oh yeah nuts to that then. Back to the drawing board for path lighting

@slim ravine I had 2 fail at 1 year 2 Month march.. lol

#

33% failure rate

#

yeesh. yeah forget that. i mean the el-cheapo stick in the ground solar ones i have are fine, but if fine was enough i wouldn't be on this discord lol :p

fair mountain
#

they do look very nice ..

#

@austere patio i spoke too soon, the new firmware crapped out again. im starting to wonder if there's something wrong with the hardware so I pulled out a spare sonoff stick and i migrated the network to it ..

#

same deal with the other stick, except back to the reboot/freeze on the newer firmware. going to try without ser2net

fair mountain
#

@austere patio i just tried with USB.. directly to my HA machine.. it works. -_-

austere patio
#

Is this still with a pi?

fair mountain
#

The problem with it is that it's in an area with 5 motor loads, and an access point. So not great to have my zigbee coordinator there, which is why I have it on an old RPi 3.

#

Wondering if it's my PoE to Ethernet/USB splitter causing power issues (I don't see any low voltage alerts from the RPi, and the SONOFF only uses 100 mA), a problem with the RPi 3 itself, or an issue with the USB driver (I have tried both the dwc2 and the dwc_otg mode for the USB controller.)

#

Or if it's ser2net ...

fair mountain
#

nevermind @austere patio. stick dropped again.

#

Downgrading from 20230410 and immediately no more issues with 'max concurrency'

#

And it's doing 5 firmware updates.

#

Something is seriously wrong with 20230410 Z-Stac

fair mountain
#

Is there a way to tell if the coordinator is still connected within HA?

#

Would be nice to add a notification if the coordinator stops responding.

limpid finch
fair mountain
#

I know the logs show " Coordinator is disconnected, cannot send request"

limpid finch
#

Can someone help me how I can make this stop? This is the message that repeats over and over non stopping

"MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/Interruptor Escritorio', payload '{"action":null,"battery":74,"last_seen":"2023-04-14T12:27:13+08:00","linkquality":138,"update":{"installed_version":587699761,"latest_version":587699761,"state":"idle"},"update_available":null}'"

What coordinator are you using?

uncut sorrel
#

I have a weird issue with my Aqara P1 PIR sensors. I have two of them. The other has always been dropped from the zigbee network after couple of hours. Re-pairing fixes it until it happens again.

I removed the dropping one using zha.remove service, added it again, and now it is working but the other is dropping out.

Any ideas how to investigate this?

I'm using Sonoff USB stick as the coordinator

thick plover
#

Anyone got advice on a coordinator like the ZZA and how it stacks up agains the SkyConnect?

celest lance
#

Hey guys i have the aqara p1 sensors do you need the aqara hub to connect them? have a tuya zigbee hub and they just won't connect flash for a second but don't connect at all..

molten linden
#

Yes. Or get out of vendor locked hubs and use a zigbee coordinator with ZHA or zigbee2mqtt 🤷🏼‍♂️

fair mountain
#

I have them in my four bathrooms, kitchen, hallways and they're used to trigger lights ..

hearty night
#

anyone use zigbee window sensors? I'm using some sengleds right now but they are continually going offline and reading new batteries as being almost empty

sour shadow
#

I have Aqara (original and E1) that I've been very happy with

#

Terncy too, but they're unlikely to pair to a TI coordinator

hearty night
#

e1 is your hub?

sour shadow
#

Nah, a CC2652 stick is my "hub"

#

E1 is (one of) their Zigbee 3.0 range(s)

#

They also do T1 and P1

hearty night
#

interesting, I'll give this a shot, thanks

fair mountain
sour shadow
#

Of all the ones I have (and I have a lot) only one has ever been a problem, and that just needed a new battery

grim igloo
#

All my $5 Chyna aqara window sensors have been great

sour shadow
#

My Terncy ones are awesome, but they don't like CC2652 coordinators

grim igloo
#

I paired them to the closest router and called it a day. If they migrate randomly I’ll put them back

#

Does that matter if their parent is a router not the coordinator?

sour shadow
#

It seems to, yes

#

I haven't fully tested since they pair directly with my Sonoff coordinator, but not to my ZZH or Slaesh

grim igloo
#

Weird

sour shadow
#

My Sonoff being one of the many ones with ... issues

#

The Aqara P1 door sensor will also only pair with a non-CC2652 based coordinator

grim igloo
#

E1 is the 3.0 one tho right?

sour shadow
#

So is the P1 (and T1)

#

The P1 is just the big one

grim igloo
#

Well that’s not confusing

#

I thought there was only one line of 3.0 aqara sensors

sour shadow
#

Yeah... it's a ... bit of a mess

grim igloo
#

And they just changed the letter randomly

sour shadow
#

Almost as bad as the naming convention for HA 😛

grim igloo
#

Like what

sour shadow
#

T1 is (in theory) the China only range, and E1 is international as is P1

grim igloo
#

Like how zha defaults to wild names?

sour shadow

I mean more that HA Core is a method and the software we all use

What is a reliable Zigbee, locally controlled multi-color LED bulb that works with ZHA?

sour shadow
#

Well, by definition any Zigbee device is locally controlled

#

Hue are generally the gold standard, Tradfri and Innr are good alternatives

quiet gazelle
#

Yeah Hue is just crazy expensive...guess you get what you pay for?

sour shadow
#

Yup

quiet gazelle
#

Been having issues with my Philips Hue motion sensors becoming unresponsive, but my Samsung SmartThings ones I got years ago work great with Zigbee

sour shadow
#

Good or cheap - pick one

#

As I said though, Tradfri and Innr are good alternatives

quiet gazelle
#

$45/bulb for Philips Hue, yikes. Thanks for the suggestions I'll poke around!

sour shadow
#

I've got some Tradfri CCT bulbs and those are great - ignoring the firmware issues that can cause them to stop routing for other devices

quiet gazelle
#

Gotcha. I have a few TP Link bulbs, but they're wifi and are hit or miss when they become unresponsive. I just want something to work well. Just installed an Aqara smart light switch to act as a Zigbee router near the bulbs

fair mountain
#

IKEA ambiance LEDs have garbage yellow/white reproduction.

quiet gazelle
#

but I've seen some articles where people have 100+ bulbs

fair mountain
#

I have like 140.

quiet gazelle
#

guess it's a build out over time kinda thing anyway

fair mountain
#

nah maybe a few less.

quiet gazelle
#

140 bulbs? damn lol

fair mountain
#

Bulbs, Blooms, and outdoor.. although their outdoor are garbage quality

austere patio
fair mountain
#

A lot of my bulbs are just ambiance, they are more reasonably priced.

fair mountain
#

I did have them in some enclosures and they did work at my previous house ,though.

#

But they say "not for used in enclosed fixtures" on them, and /r/hue has mentioned people having them cooked

#

Hue's warranty for their outdoor fixtures say they don't warranty them for more than 3 hours of power on a day .. lol

#

based on up to 3 hours average working time per day/7 days per week, when used as directed (the “Warranty Period”)

grim igloo
sour shadow
#

So.... 91 days of lifespan is what they warranty

austere patio
#

I wonder how much that boosts by if you soft cap their max brightness to 90%

sour shadow
#

I'd imagine by quite a bit

fair mountain
austere patio
#

9.1W -> 7.4W for a cheap Linkind bulb, I'll have to test a Hue one later. Not much of a drop in heat output it seems.

fair mountain
#

I have a thermal camera lol

#

I could check ..

austere patio
#

Max concurrency is a ZHA thing, I don't think he knows what you're referring to 😄

sour shadow
#

Koenkk isn't really expecting to be troubleshooting ZHA though shrug

fair mountain
#

His request is "adapter information", so I'm curious exactly what he'd like to know ..

#

I'm not familiar with the ZHA logging, is there any way to see responses from the adapter?

austere patio
#

That would be any line containing zigpy_znp.api (i.e. Sending request: and Received command:). In your debug log, you excluded everything but the max concurrency warning, which doesn't help much.

fair mountain
#

@austere patio TY. The log is massive so I wasn't sure what to include.

#

whoa

austere patio
#

But it's best to include the whole thing, as otherwise you're wasting the maintainer's time as they ask repeatedly for more of the filtered log 😄

fair mountain
#

@austere patio like, a 4GB log file? 😛

austere patio
#

I don't think you need to include the whole thing if the concurrency problems (likely stemming from devices not responding) happen in the first minute

fair mountain
austere patio
#

Well, from the log it looks like your adapter disconnected halfway through

#

Which probably explains the errors

#

But those lines from the log file are filtered out so it's not immediately obvious 🤷‍♂️

fair mountain
#

i dont think that's helpful, because it's just showing the stick falling over

#

okay. yes that is what I thought.

#

let me include a more complete copy.

#

Sonoff sticks are .... often problematic

fair mountain

My own one (on slightly older firmware) locks up under certain situations - and I know others who have the same problem

but I have a reproducabel crash on the 20221226 release, hence running a dev version

And somebody on the forum has one with faulty NVRAM

# fair mountain Hue's warranty for their outdoor fixtures say they don't warranty them for more ...

Although their theoretical warranty terms might not be great, 2 years of consumer rights still apply regardless of that warranty (at least here).
In my experience, "their warranty" has been great and they’ve ignored multiple things which probably weren’t covered.
I even ended up with extra Hue lights now.
Compared to the "warranty" that OSRAM/LEDVANCE has (literally refused to warranty a DoA), Hue support has been great (for me).
Also never had any issues with lights in enclosed fixtures both indoors and outdoors.

Only issue I ever had was with water (condensation?) inside my Hue Callas light.
They replaced 7 lights now lol
I do hope that it’s somehow fixed in newer revisions, but I guess I’ll find out

fair mountain
#

I had 2 fail on the blue LED at 1 year 2 weeks, the warranty in Canada is 2 years. They sent me new lights brand new in packaging. They are the same design as the previous ones.

#

Wait I was talking to you about this in PM :p

mellow geode
#

I mean internal changes. But yes, their Callas seem to be somewhat of a failure

#

Yep, right 😄

fair mountain
#

too many Canadian plants for me

#

So the reason I'm even trying 20230410 is because with 20221226 I can crash the USB coordinator if I power cycle a bunch of lights at the same time.

mellow geode
#

Ah, that’s still the SimpleLink 6.20 (and later) issue

#

Oh nvm

#

With 20221226?

fair mountain
#

it's a TI stick

#

yes

mellow geode
#

So toggling a breaker with a bunch of Zigbee lights should crash the stick?

fair mountain
#

This is unfortunate because I'm installing a bunch of Inovelli switches, so every time I power off a breaker.. coordinator goes boom, and then it's a royal pain to get the switch to pair, and if I air gap the switch .. crash again

#

yes sir

mellow geode
#

Hmm. I think ZHA re-initializes everything (attribute reporting set up, attributes read, …) when a light is rejoining. Z2M only does this for IKEA lights due to some bug they have

fair mountain
#

So @tropic depot mentioned I should try with the coordinator plugged in directly via USB, instead of ser2net. I haven't had a chance to try that with 20221226. But I can confirm that the coordinator no longer crashes with 20230410 under THAT specific scenario.

Current state: 20221226 firmware, I can use all my lights properly again, mostly stable. This evening I will see if it still crashes when I flip a breaker.

mellow geode
#

So it doesn’t recover after a crash ever?

fair mountain
#

nope

#

I have to unplug the USB stick and plug it back in

#

Or reboot the machine

#

Initially I thought maybe it was a RPi issue with their USB controller, that hacky dwc_otg driver, so I switched to dwc2 ... since I don't need OTG.

austere patio
#

Open up the stick and poke the reset button

fair mountain
#

and see if it comes back?

austere patio
#

If that doesn't cause it to start working again, it's a problem with your computer. If it works after that, it's a hard firmware lockup.

sour shadow
#

I know somebody who had to split their mesh into two meshes, and somebody else who found that disabling circadian lighting was all it took

fair mountain
austere patio
#

What do you mean?

sour shadow
#

The commonality was the use of a Sonoff stick - switching to any other stick had no problems

fair mountain
#

Sorry. Let me clarify

#

is there access to the SoC to see what it's doing?

fair mountain

#

wish work wasn't so busy. currently rebuilding our packer junk at work to generate AWS AMIs. "boss: we need AMIs yesterday plz"

mellow geode
mellow geode
austere patio
fair mountain
#

That is what I am doing now

#

It's connected directly to the HA machine

#

But then I have to deal with interference ..

mellow geode
#

Likely unrelated, but are you running custom integrations?

fair mountain
#

many

#

a fork of DaikinAC I did, adaptive lighting, reolink, a samsung soundbar integration i wrote

#

why?

fair mountain
mellow geode
# fair mountain why?

In simple terms: if "async stuff" isn’t implemented properly, it might cause ZHA to slow down and that could cause issues with coordinators

fair mountain
#

oh

#

yeah i ran into issues with that before.

#

but I fixed all teh async issues that I was aware of, and HA complains heavily about them now so

mellow geode
#

Even if, the coordinator shouldn’t really crash completely, but only slow down

sour shadow
#

You've clearly not used the CC253x based TI coordinators 😛

#

Those are easy enough to crash to the point of needing power cycled to recover

fair mountain
#

I wish there was a sensor in HomeAssistant that I could use to see if the coordinator is connected

#

I'm almost to the point where Iw ant to feed these logs to elasticsearch

#

and the alert using sensu for particular conditions

austere patio
#

It's all in the debug log. If it's a firmware crash, you would see a watchdog failure

fair mountain
#

I even checked zha-toolkit to see if I could read the state of the coordinator

fair mountain
austere patio
#

99.999% of people don't have this problem so it's just not a feature that exists 😄

fair mountain
#

I can always check for "Watchdog check failed"

fair mountain
#

and even though HA knows the coordinator is offline, and light.light_on or something will fail, it doesnt set the status of any entity to unknown

#

would be neat if there was an exposed sensor for the coordinator

#

dreams

molten linden
#

But this does disconnect on watchdog restarts as the serial connection is dropped and re-established.

gusty patio
#

Hey! Do any of you know of a battery powered zigbee dry contact sensor? Something I could use with a microswitch? I guess I could get a button or door/window sensor and hack it, but is there anything purpose designed?

#

I’m envisioning a little box with an led, pairing button, and a few screw terminal 🙂

molten linden
#

Most of the leak detectors have screw terminals

gusty patio
#

Ahhh! That would work

#

I want to add a float switch to a drain pan so I can get alert if it fills up

#

ie condensate drain blocked/backflow

grim igloo
#

If it’s overflowing into the emergency drain pan you kinda want to know before it fills up

carmine hamlet
#

water will necessarily collect in the drain pan, which I think the OP was referring to

gusty patio
#

Yes the drain pan is normally wet

#

But if the water level hits a couple cm, something is wrong

carmine hamlet
#

the leak sensor idea is a good one, though

gusty patio
#

the evaporator drip drip drip into it so I can’t just leave a leak sensor in it. The leak sensor connected to a clip-on float switch is perfect

grim igloo
#

Mine has an emergency drain pan under the unit itself

gusty patio
#

I will do

grim igloo
#

That’s what I was referring to…

#

Not the literal evap pan

gusty patio
#

Mine doesn’t have such a thing 😧

carmine hamlet
grim igloo
gusty patio
#

This is perfect, thank you

molten linden
#

the aqara ones do too, as do the round tuya one.

grim igloo
#

Ya the aqara one is what’s featured in the link above

molten linden
#

third reality has a siren nice and loud alert too. and they at least contribute firmware

grim igloo
#

Along with mqtt config to take the guess work out of what options he has

gusty patio
#

Yep this is all ideal, I might even have an extra tuya sensor around somewhere

grim igloo
#

Tuya screw ya

gusty patio
#

Haha

gusty patio
#

I’m in a condo with a vertical fan coil unit…. It’s modern enough and it already has a float switch that cuts power if the pan fills. But I had an overflow last time due to the drain backing up… shutting off my unit was not enough. An extra alert would be nice, so this is a nice little project

fair mountain
grim igloo
#

mini split would be harder i'd think

fair mountain
#

yeah not much room to do anything

grim igloo
#

maybe you can splice into the wires it uses for a float sensor

fair mountain
#

cant even fit a leak detector into the condenste pan

grim igloo
#

i assume they still use a float sensor to turn off in case of backups

fair mountain
#

dont think it has a float sensor

#

i dont see it on the engineering schematics

grim igloo
#

well it does something

fair mountain
#

its daikin. they suck.

grim igloo
#

stops itself from spitting out water somehow

#

everything sucks these days lol

gusty patio
#

We had a mini split at work with an external condensate pump, and it had a sensor to kill the mini split if its bowl filled up

#

Well semi-external, it was bolted to the side of the head. Sort of ugly but it was in our server room

grim igloo
#

ya so figure out what it does and then splice into it maybe?

#

or see what kind of existing esphome projects are out there

#

probably dont need to recreate the wheel

gusty patio
#

This was a commercial LG unit and I think it had integration for it

grim igloo
gusty patio
#

ooh that is cute

#

i was looking for an arduino that was a usb stick the other day, never found one

peak vapor
#

but yeah the only mini splits I've seen with a float switch are ones with a condensate pump

#

but you don't want those

molten linden
#

If you can just fit 2 wires and keep them separate where the water would be you can connect them to the leak detector

#

I do this and run wires into a floor drain to detect when the water rises to run critical alerts for possible sewer line issues… just caught one the other night.

#

Hopefully won’t need soon as getting lateral replaced soon 🤦‍♂️ roots and a belly not a good combo.

hearty night
#

so I got one of these aqara window sensors, it doesn't say unavailable like my sengleds do, but it seems to get stuck either open or closed

#

it will work for a bit and then I get no change if I open/close the window, if I remove and readd the device it starts working again but gets stuck after a bit

hybrid cloud
#

not sure itd work tho

grim igloo
#

as in after dishwasher is finished?

#

if you do a heated dry cycle you can put a temp/humidity sensor outside the vent and automate off that

hybrid cloud
#

interesting

#

i set it up the other day with a vibration sensor

#

thought the aqara one turned off automatically after a minute but turns out it sents a vibration zha event when vibrations been on for a while, so its e ven possible to monitor more granual changes

fair mountain
#

and the unit excessively heats/cools the integrated thermistor, so it always has the wrong temperature.

peak vapor
#

ah I think the problem with the air handlers is that they read the temp ... well at the air handler

fair mountain
#

and theres no option for an external thermistor

peak vapor
#

I've seen mitsubishi have support for reading the temp at a "remote" one

fair mountain
#

also they ru nthe fan all the time, so they just blow all the humidity back into the room :/

#

I cut a jumper to turn the fan off, and then the temp readings are even worse.

peak vapor
#

my fan runs all the time too, that's normal to circulate the air isn't it

fair mountain
#

what happens is all the humidity collects on the coils and then when it stops cooling it just blows back out. smells bad 😦

#

so I ran tstat wire to each room for an ecobee, and then i control the daikin via homeassistant with some cheap wifi adapters i got for the daikins.

#

not perfect though.

peak vapor
#

hmm I haven't had mine long enough but if it smells bad you probably need to clean it? XD

fair mountain
#

its the smell of the humidity

peak vapor
#

ohh

#

I see

fair mountain
#

it started smelling when i got them

peak vapor
#

not like mold growing inside it or something

fair mountain
#

and i clean the coils every six months

peak vapor
#

I've seen some really dirty coil videos

#

ah yeah

fair mountain
#

correct

#

I actually got a discount when they came to service because of how clean the units were ..

I have a few Aqara switches that are being flakey. When I try and change the state in z2mqtt the command times out. Any idea how to troubleshoot this?

I have about 14 switches deployed and a few of them are being unresponsive at times. Not sure what the issue could be.

#

The physical switch works fine, but the state is not updated in HA and it doesn't respond to commands sent through HA.

Restarting HA or z2mqtt didn't help. Removing the switch and rejoining it did. Troublesome though.

Asked this in #integrations-archived but got pointed in this direction.

Can someone point me in a direction on what “hub” (usb) I would need to buy for Aqara sensors? I have read so many posts about this depending on what kind of integration you are doing, supported devices for zigbee2mqtt etc. I just want the most straightforward way 🙂

I forgot to add that even if I have read about the ZHA and Z2M options and each have their recommended hardware, I also got the impression that all of those is maybe not compatible with aqara sensors? Which of the recommended zigbee devices should I buy?

@silent shore I have several Aqara sensors connected to a Sonoff ZBDongle-P with Z2M, it's rock solid.

#

It looks more complicated than it is.

Really, the only hard decision is to pick between Z2M and ZHA. Once you've done that pretty much any (current) supported coordinator will do. Don't buy something old or known to be a problem (so, don't buy a ConBee, don't buy anything CC253x based, and don't buy Sonoff's CC2652 based coordinator)

Wait why aren’t we doing sonoff p dongle now? The tiny percentage of them that corrupt nvram?

Correct

See the pins about why you'd pick one or the other

Easier setup is zha, community favorite is z2m at least historically that’s true

And others

#

I have the same problem - the stick hangs when the mesh is busy enough

silent shore
#

Might misunderstand, you don’t recommend sonoff because corrupt nvram issues?

grim igloo
#

I thought he’s been using tube cc2652 coordinator

sour shadow
#

I've found plenty of others with the same problem

#

The Sonoff P stick is a roll of the dice - maybe you'll get a good one, maybe you won't

#

I guess I won’t be a good candidate to test that.. I don’t have a busy mesh

silent shore
#

Is there a more solid option that would work with aqara devices? I got the impression that not all zigbee sticks works.

That’s the wrong impression

#

Yea

silent shore
#

Ok, read a lot of posts from people having a hard time getting it to work

sour shadow
#

With CC2652 sticks though Tube, ZZH, and Slaesh are all great choices

#

Dont overthink it.

#

Aqara devices aren’t forced to only work on some coordinators

sour shadow
#

Aqara devices are generally not the problem, except the P1 door/window sensors which won't work with a CC2652 coordinator

It seems ZHA is the one I would like to try, any advice on stick based on that 😁

grim igloo
#

Skyconnect?

sour shadow
#

Or any current generation EZSP based stick

#

Tinkerer can we get a bot command for that since it help supports nabu casa and is recommended for zha?

sour shadow
#

See the pinned message in #botspam

grim igloo
#

I don’t see what you’re alluding to

sour shadow
#

There's two messages there

#

One of them is a link to the list of bot messages/commands

grim igloo
#

To say that’s unintuitive would be an understatement

#

I scrolled for 2minutes on mobile and didn’t see skyconnect

#

I also tried auto fill in discord to see if it existed

#

So submit a PR 😉

At what point does it make more sense for puddly and him to have a chat instead of you getting bounced around like a beach ball on spring break? smile

or my Embernet stick has arrived on the 20th

There’s a good 4/20 joke in there somewhere with an ember stick coming on that day

#

ever since we legalised it, i haven't really heard any 4/20 jokes. weird.

#

No it’s not

#

Where did you get that from

sour shadow

It is technically supported by Z2M, but use ZHA instead
