I think the map draws live for that

#

Maybe it’s delayed too

#

I use z2m but haven’t checked the map right after adding a device sorry

jagged ivy
#

Hmm, it updated but looks like it's still going to the coordinator. Well, we'll see. The signal strength is still better than before so maybe that'll be good enough.

#

(I'm assuming I don't need to put the plug into any special mode for it to pick up the new signals?)

grim igloo
#

with z2m (or zha) you can choose which router a device pairs to

#

instead of clicking permit join all click the arrow to the right and choose a specific device you want to be the parent

#

that forces it to only join to that next hop as its parent

jagged ivy
#

Ooohhh, that's neat. Let me give that a go.

mellow geode
#

You can try to set the values lower/higher and see if setting the light to those values makes a difference (or if it even accepts it). The mapping (color temp in UI -> lamp) might not be accurate, but we can't really fix that (groups would still be wrong for example.)
Doesn't really matter though.

Z2M uses these values: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee-herdsman-converters/pull/5893/files
I'd probably also just leave them like that for now.

#

Maybe we can still get it into tomorrows HA beta release then

Having trouble getting zigbee2mqtt set up and running and I'm kind of at a loss as to where the disconnect is here.

I've created a mqtt user in Settings/People/Users
mqtt addon installed. Logins configuration has the mqtt user/pass
mqtt integration reconfigured with the mqtt user/pass
zigbee2mqtt addon's mqtt section I've added the mqtt user/pass

When I start the zigbee2mqtt its error log shows MQTT error: Connection refused: Not authorized and the mqtt addon's logs show Client mqttjs_b0926a47 disconnected, not authorised and error: received null username or password for unpwd check

grim igloo
#

It’s a good way to confirm that’s not your issue

#

Iiiinteresting. I'll give that a go tonight. 🤞🏾

#

Is there like a way to flash automations directly onto a ZigBee endpoint like... How do I explain it. So I want to ask if there's a way for ZigBee endpoints to continue with their automations even if the coordinator USB goes down

carmine hamlet
#

The only thing like that is a zigbee group. You can have some devices control others without going through the coordinator

grim igloo
#

That’s binding not a group

#

Group of just multicast

carmine hamlet
#

Oh, sorry. You're right. I knew it didn't sound right, but couldn't look up the right term

#

I use it for three-way switches to keep them synced

I have an IKEA switch and an IKEA zigbee signal repeater. They are both connected to z2m through a sonoff usb dongle. I found quite often (once a day?) the switch gets connected the repeater although its closer to the coordinator itself and then both freeze until I replug the repeater.

#

How can I know what is causing this? Is it because IKEA device knows another IKEA device somehow?

#

Out of curiosity, what are people using for Zigbee temperature/humidity sensors that are reliable? I have some Samsung SmartThings and Philies Hue Motion Sensors that detect temperature, but I can't seem to get an automation to trigger based on the entity in HA.

astral seal
#

Aqara temp and humidity sensors are good
Stay away from Sonoff's, they're not so good.

#

Ime anything from Sonoff that isn't mains powered is hit or miss.

#

I also like the accuracy of the Aqara TVOC, and it's got a nice little e-ink display on it, but it's got issues with falling off the network on some firmware versions and you have to have the Aqara hub to update the firmware, it won't update with ZHA, idk about z2m.
Unless that's changed since last time I checked.

quiet gazelle
astral seal
#

The little button or one of their in-wall devices?

quiet gazelle
#

The in-wall switch for lights

#

and I have an Innr plug acting as a Zigbee router in the room where it's in

heady kayak
#

the temp/humidity sensor in the ikea air quality sensor appears to be pretty reasonable. but it's more expensive, and usb c powered. (acts as a router)

#

(the expensive sensor, not the cheap one. the one with a screen)

#

also has tvoc and pm2.5

thorn kelp
heady kayak
#

The more expensive round one, rather than the rectangular one, right?

thorn kelp
#

got mine on sale for 160 or so. works very well

#

given the wildfires out here, kinda wish i bought more when it was on sale.

heady kayak
#

🙂

#

Understandable

#

Also the same sensor used in those $400USD PurpleAir sensors.

Hi I have various clues my conbee 2 is not working. Can not find zigbee devices. Used usb extender. Any way to test if conbee 2 is working?

sour shadow
#

What are you trying to use it with? ZHA? Zigbee2MQTT? Phoscon?

sweet saddle
#

ZHA

#

I get no logs when searching

sour shadow
#

If the stick isn't working it'll be very obvious in the logs

#

Not being able to pair devices will either produce log entries if there's a problem at the ConBee end, or nothing if the problem is the device can't reach the mesh

sweet saddle
#

Hmm so could there be something wrong with my conbee 2 settings or do you have any advise

sour shadow
#

Well, ZHA will complain if the stick isn't working at all

#

If there's issues with interference at the ConBee end then it'll log that too

sweet saddle
#

Wil it log something when searching at all? Or only when finding devices

sour shadow
#

ZHA's diagnostics may help here, since they tell you about the RF environment

#

It won't log when searching, because it doesn't search

#

The device when put into pairing mode is the one doing the searching

sweet saddle
#

Okay I understand.

sweet saddle
sour shadow
#

Find the ZHA integration in your HA install

#

Look for diagnostics

#

Like most things in in HA it's likely under dotsvertical

sweet saddle
#

Can I drop it here?

The energy scan shows that the ConBee is working

#

Are you trying to pair the new device in the same room as the ConBee?

sweet saddle
#

Yes laying next to it

#

Some bulbs and a smart plug

sour shadow
#

Next to it... hopefully not literally

#

There is such a thing as too close

sweet saddle
#

Ok i will try at some disctance now

#

You want it to be maybe 30cm (12 inches) or more away

heady phoenix
#

so I have an aqara "block", and using zha ... if the Visualization doesn't show it connected to anything it's probably somehow errored right? i have a sonoff outlet in the same room so was hoping it would pick that up since it should act as a router?

#

is that assumption valid or am I missing something?

sour shadow
#

The lack of a connection doesn't mean anything if the device works

heady phoenix
#

well, i can't tell if it works or not, trying to Listen to events on "zha_event" and nothing seems to be firing when I shake the thing

sour shadow
#

Ah, the cube

heady phoenix
#

lol

#

a common pain?

sour shadow
#

It's called the cube, not the block 😉

heady phoenix
#

oh, technically it's both? 😛

#

but i take your point, the cube, teh cube

sour shadow
#

Did you:

  1. Pair it in place
  2. Pair it to a nearby router device
heady phoenix
#

Yes to both

sour shadow
#

Then assuming that you've not got interference problems.... no idea

heady phoenix
#

yeah. the darn thing is 10 feet from the outlet that i bound to it, i don't think there should be any interference but meh frustrating

lavish ridge
#

Has anyone migrated from the Sonoff Zigbee device to the HA Sky connect? Is it difficult?

austere patio
lavish ridge
#

@austere patio heck I think its ZHA. can't say I remember how to check though. Its the ZigBee intergration.

austere patio
#

Then probably ZHA. There's a migration button in the configuration page that walks you through it.

lavish ridge
#

@austere patio I have seen that. My concern is that I am running HA in a VM not bare metal. What I read is it tells you to remove it and then you install the Sky Connect. That could be an issue as I have that Sonoff USB device passed throught to the VM. When I remove it then it will close that connection. It might not be that smooth for me. Guess I will just have to make the plung and see what happens.

Is anyone familiar with adding an ethernet connected router to the network?

I'm using a ZBdongle-P with zigbee2mqtt in docker and it's working great. I bought a TubesZB Ethernet/USB Serial Coordinator to run as a router in my detached garage (I have ethernet buried out there) but I'm haven't figured out how to configure for it. I believe it came flashed for ethernet, and the jumpers are already set correctly. Do I just need to append something to my configuration.yaml file where I'm specifying ports (the below doesn't work)?

serial:
port: /dev/ttyACM0
port: 'tcp://device_ip:6638'

molten linden
#

It’s one coordinator per network.

molten linden
#

What you can do is run a second network. Easiest would be on zha, or run another instance of z2m, they have docs on using more than one instance I believe. If using addons you can use one stable and one edge

is it possible to send a raw zigbee command in an automation?

frigid quartz
#

I have a zigbee device that becomes unresponsive after every 8 hours or so. How can I debug this?

#

For now I know the problem most likely is not in HA but in z2m since when it becomes responsive it's also shown unresponsive on z2m

sour shadow
#

It's not Z2M, it's the device

#

If it's an end device, put in a new battery

#

If it's Xiaomi, pair it to a nearby router

#

If it's more than about 6 meters from the nearest router, add another router

frigid quartz
#

The battery is pretty new as I got the device recently, the battery level is at 100% as indicated by z2m. It's an IKEA switch. It's less then 6 meters to the coordinator.

#

This is the only device that's behaving like this. I have 2 more xiaomi buttons they have be constantly stable

I am trying to setup a zigbee IR remote transmitter, it works in the device Manage Zigbee Device section but I don't see a way to send a command anywhere else. This is ZHA and the model of the thing is TS1201

# trail sky Oh, good to know. IKEA is quite accessible here

IMO the Ikea zigbee stuff is VERY hit or miss. The buttons for example are trash (i have 2, one died before i even finished setting it up.). the 2032's they come with are dead OOTB. The sensor is big enough that it could be powered by AAA's yet it uses 2x cr2032.

#

idk overall it's cheap but it's kinda shit.

#

kinda shit enough that i'd prefer tuya over that, and tuya's some shit lol

heady kayak
#

The big zigbee remotes (styrbar) are now powered with AAAs.

#

The bulbs I've used are fine. had a couple of the GU10s start to act up a little (flickering on and off if at full power).

Only bad devices from IKEA are the motion sensor and symfonisk remote

#

Anyone used SkyConnect and then use the Sonoff as a router? As I can’t get my Sky connect to find it

astral seal

Iirc you have to flash specific firmware to the Sonoff stick for it to do that.

Looking at getting some smart switches for my new home assistant install and have settled on Zigbee. I should have neutral wires available (will verify before ordering, but the few I've seen have had them so far). Currently looking at Enbrighten switches as they are low profile and a good cost and I like that paddle style for switches. Wanted to see if anyone had any experience with these?

grim igloo
#

Inovelli blue or nothing imo

tight jungle
#

I looked at those, and was also wondering if it would be worth it to place the order and expect later delivery? Also work the additional cost?

#

GE hardware for IoT shit like switches, especially zwave, has been very poor

#

And embrighten is ge iirc

heady phoenix
#

so I've followed all the tutorial for espresense and my watch and phone both show up, but that's it, nobody else. i've got the irk of two other phones which i've seen in mqtt explorer show up and i've got the entry in the configuration.yaml same as mine with the device_id: "irk:..." but always "not_home" even though it shows in the explorer

#

embrighten is indeed GE

tight jungle
thorn kelp
#

generally speaking my whole kit is zwave for switches(/dimmers/fan switches) and zigbee for nearly everything else.

tight jungle
#

I'm not a fan of it being a closed platform, but I'll look into it some more

thorn kelp
#

all my Zooz switches have 100% uptime for like 3yrs

thorn kelp
#

but, 800-900mhz(depending on your region) is rock solid and nowadays nothing else is on that band

tight jungle
#

That is fair

grim igloo
thorn kelp
#

100%, YMMV. my opinions are my own based on my own setup.

#

that being said, in my anecdotal experience zwave is god tier

#

My Zigbee devices outnumber my ZW 2:1, so i'm not anti-zig

grim igloo
#

there's nothing wrong with zooz hardware on zwave if he wants dumb bulbs + smart switches /dimmers and that's what is often a good choice

#

but he can also do the same with the (more expensive) inovelli blues and those will add repeaters for his zigbee mesh and we're in #zigbee-archived lol

tight jungle
#

Yeah my plan is to just replace my switches with smart switches and use my existing dumb bulbs. That way, if something fails for some reason, my lights will still work with the switch actually controlling the power.

grim igloo
#

just depends on what you want to do, how much money you have, and then actually doing it

tight jungle
#

That's good to know! Definitely something I'll consider down the road

grim igloo
#

for example if you wanted rgbw bulbs or color changing temp bulbs

#

although i personally prefer rgb(w) light strips for bias/ambient lighting

thorn kelp
#

RGBW+wled is a game changer. I have so many ideas for what i want to do with that

#

the W is key though. nothing's worse than fake RGB white. Dedicated W channels are awesome.

#

So I recently set up a conbee 2 (on a USB extender) and 4 sengled ZigBee bulbs, and they generally work pretty well, but some of the lights don't respond super consistently to color changes (though they seem to reliably turn on and off, Which is odd). They'll work after I try a couple times, so I don't think they're disconnecting from the network, but I don't know what's going on. Would a ZigBee repeater near the conbee help?

austere patio
#

Sengled bulbs don't mesh the way other bulbs do, they instead act as normal end devices. If they are physically far away from your Conbee, you may want to install other non-Sengled bulbs (or other devices) nearby to extend your mesh.

#

looks like one of my XIAOMI Mi illumuniance sensors has died. Over the last month, it would just drop off the network every 2 to 3 days. I have to delete, and repair. Replaced the battery already, and shows as 100% all the time. Interesting never had a sensor go on me. Being replaced with the 2023 Aqara Light Sensor T1 Brightness sensor

#

other 2 sensors are working well

jaunty heart
#

As a workaround, is there a way to have ha retry a color change a certain number of times or something?

austere patio
#

I would also try a channel migration if you only have a few devices, there's a pencil icon next to the current channel in the ZHA configuration page. Pick auto and it will hopefully migrate most of your bulbs to a better channel.

Hi, I just bought a mood-light from Lidl (TS0505B). I've paired it with HA (running in a container) using the sonoff zigbee stick (using ZHA, I think). This was succesful, however, I can only turn the light on and off, and have no color control, even though it should be an RGB light. I'm a bit stuck on how to fix this, does anyone have any tips?

#

Should I just try to pair it again then?

#

It works after repairing! Thanks a bunch!

grim igloo
#

it's not necessarily cheaper devices it could easily be his mesh sucks / interference issues

#

but ya the dance with cheap devices can happen for sure

#

following exactly what is in the manual / on the product page of z2m has been helpful for me tho

#

i've had one aqara door/window sensor that made me dance

#

at the end i was a good dancer tho

#

you're talking about aqara old 1.2 devices not 3.0 right?

#

and paired directly to the nearest router and at the location they live not moved?

#

not a lot of sensors

#

specifically aqara zigbee 1.2 ones or others not following the spec iirc

#

and they technically can get new routes they just need the stars to align

#

i thought most folks liked those

#

you cant count out chinese quality control and bad luck too

oh wow that's expensive

i figured it would be like $20

Hi, currently having issues with a switch at the moment, a Hue RWL021 dimmer. I've recently moved to a skyconnect, and running ZHA. Basically, when looking at the device details, all I have as a switch is a Binaryinput set to 'off'. Pressing the on button on the physical devices triggers a logbook entry of "<devicename> On event was fired". I have had it working earlier, but I had to reboot my machine (intel nuc running HA OS) as I had an update message saying I had to reboot as the "default settings had changed for the following addons." . Putting the device in pairing mode and attaching again doesn't seem to fix the problem.

#

@austere patio if you remember a discussion we had about When I updated the firmware of my skyconnect/zha to 7.3.3.0 And I was getting a bunch of startup errors such as channel 12 is not compatible and switching to 11 and one channel had high utilization etc I'm in beta1 now And there was a Zed HA dependency update and the errors seems to have been fixed.

#

Anyone had situation where config from main branch did not work on edge?

I have a blind that is controlled by the aqara E1 motor. The physical blind is able to tilt the blades by opening/closing just by a little bit, how can I implement it in Home Assistant?

#

example:
making the blind go down will tilt the blades to 90 degree
making the blind go up will tilt the blades to 0 degrees

#

assuming 0 degrees is horizontal

clever nest
#

on the edge (beta) branch everything works fine but new entities are not created

sour shadow
#

You need to tell people that ... and what the problem is ... or they can't help 😉

clever nest
#

that's a good advice ;D

#

but it looks like a problem on the edge of mqtt integration/z2m

#

i can see the mqtt topic under homeassistant/sensor

trail aspen
#

and it takes 2% movement to close/open the tilt

clever nest
#

ok i got further - looks like it's configuration url error

#

strange becasue configuration url from the mqtt message works fine

no changelog on firmware ?

euhm router is just a relay right

coordinator the main unit right

see what i did here , might have accidentaly flashed a router firmware onto my coordinator

still working though

be it a bit unstable at times

If your device uses a generic USB-serial chip (without manufacturer or model info, like the one you posted above), you may run into collision issues if you plug in a second one

Sounds like your stick isn't in its bootloader. What stick is it?

zigstar cc2652P

RF-Star

ah hold FLASH button when inserting and keep holding

but how do i know its in bootloader ?

You can let go a second after it is inserted. Make sure nothing else is trying to access the serial port.

nope think i bricked it , what is the best replacement stick ? sonof better or equal ?

austere patio
#

You probably didn't brick it unless you managed to flash the wrong firmware to it

lime locust

CC2652RB_coordinator_20230507.hex

but multitool was not clear if it was ready ,

#

it said restarting zigbee

You'll have better luck directly running the CLI script, it's not difficult

ah il start putty

molten linden
#

If you flashed the RF-Star cc2652p2 with the CC2652RB firmware, it's the wrong FW

#

the RF-Star uses the launchpad variant.

#

you'll likely need to hold DIO_13 low on the module to get it into bootloader

#

then flash the right FW

Can anyone help me get Zigbee2MQTT for my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle working? I thought it was my old/slow Raspberry Pi 3, so I upgraded to a NUC. Started a completely fresh install of Home Assistant on it. But I cant seem to get it to communicate with the dongle. I flashed new firmware using the python method (since flashing with SmartRF Flash Programmer 2 kept failing). But still no luck.

@ashen bluff leave what empty? Yes using the addon

Pretty much anything mqtt related

versed sluice

let me try

frigid quartz
#

I'm confused. He's using z2m and that should already have the broker why would you want to install another broker?

versed sluice
#

You gotta be kidding me!

#

that was it

#

Every tutorial I have seen on youtube said download mosquito broker first. Then Zigbee2MQTT addon and do that server and username

ashen bluff
frigid quartz
#

yeah indeed

lime locust
#

@molten linden the link wasn't working , have to short some pins ? there is a RESET button ?

frigid quartz
#

So the official getting started of z2m mention about the broker as a prerequisite and I took it as a part of the thing

versed sluice
#

So how do I add a user/password? because when I fill anything out in the Zigbee2MQTT config (under mqtt) I get errors. Can I put a user in Mosquito Broker add on?

ashen bluff
heady kayak
#

the addon uses the home assistant users

#

so you can add one within home assistant for it

frigid quartz
#

And why would my code work? mqtt: base_topic: zigbee2mqtt server: mqtt://mqtt

Are you using the addon?

no I used the dockered version of z2m

the RB FW use DIO13 as BSL.

if you are usinging the zigbee2mqtt addon, you don't need to give a user either.

This whole thing is pretty complex. So mqtt opened 2 ports for different protocols

lime locust
molten linden
#

no

#

left side of module 6th up from bottom is 13

#

which you need to pull low to get to bootloader on the RB fw

#

the reset pin is next to it (1 down) you can hold 13 low, and then tap the reset low- that should get in to bootloader to flash the right fw

versed sluice
#

I give up on the user/login part. It works. ha ha ha

molten linden
#

on launchpad fw DIO13 is TX for the zigbee module. which is why fw build variant matters for example

lime locust
#

so do dio13 to grnd then dio13 to res

#

@molten linden have it in the pc and then short DIO13 --> GND , then DIO13 --> RES ?

#

and it should be in bootloader?

molten linden
#

DIO13 > Ground (you can use the shield) then tap RES to Ground that should put it into bootloader.

lime locust
#

nice , plug in , DIO13 tap shielding then RES tap shielding whilst in the usb port , and i can just use the zigstar multitool right

molten linden
#

you have to hold DIO13 to shielding while tapping RES to shielding. this in essence is holding the bsl botton when plugging in.

lime locust
#

ah

#

ok thnks

molten linden

yes should be able to follow up with zigstar tool

it's doable I have had to help a few customers do it.

Hi All, I have a push button Zigbee dimmer swtich by Schneider Electric (listed as CH/DIMMER/1 in HA). I have it paired and working correct for On/Off when short pressing the button. However it has a long press option as a dimmer. Is there any way i can tell HA to ignore the long press? This is what happens when i long press: Upstairs Light Switch Move event was fired with parameters: {'move_mode': 1, 'rate': 255, 'options_mask': 0, 'options_override': 0}, Upstairs Light Switch Stop event was fired with parameters: {'options_mask': <bitmap8: 0>, 'options_override': <bitmap8: 0>}

fallow lily
#

@molten linden I see it, am I just supposed to copy the entire folder to the new server? It sure would be neat to not have to redo my automations

molten linden
#

ZHA has a zigbee.db file there but you also really need the whole folder if moving servers and want to retain the network.

fallow lily
#

👍

molten linden
#

Or just for a ha backup and restore to new server

fallow lily
#

I can't do that, moving from HAOS to core.

grim igloo
#

Core?!

fallow lily
#

yes. I want to use usbip to have my coordinator on another system - couldn't make it go in HAOS

grim igloo

You probably want container instead

#

Core is for greybeards

I’m serious

fallow lily
#

I'm willing - could containers handle usbip?

#

I am a greybeard but open to abuse

grim igloo
#

Ain’t nobody got time for venv bullshit

#

My understanding is there’s no actual benefit to core over container except more legwork

#

Wait you’re a greybeard and not comfortable with usb passthru with docker?

#

ah usbip still

fallow lily
#

well I'm not an expert, but I have been twiddling with Linux for the past 30 years.

grim igloo
#

at least a little

fallow lily
#

ya I'll give it a go and see if I can't make usbip work in containers, always good to be on the right side of support.

grim igloo
#

i would suggest container and that's just a general consensus

#

not just my opinion

grim igloo
#

it would be an interesting case study

#

especially as the project moves towards gui-centric config only and moving away from strictly yaml

#

like guys with haos wanting to poke system files

fallow lily
#

usbip is the only reason I'm trying to move away from haos. They'll probably add it next year or something

grim igloo
#

what exactly do you mean by usbip?

fallow lily
#

I have my zigbee coordinator on a raspberry pi in the middle of the house

are you talking about not needing something like ser2net?

then use zigbee2mqtt and ser2net

let me scroll up and confirm i'm on the right track

@molten linden doesnt zha support remotely connecting to a coordinator via ser2net etc like z2m does?

#

yep.

#

grim igloo
#

i dont know enough to hand hold him

#

not with this setup

molten linden
#

cooking dinner and charging phone so not totally available lol

grim igloo
#

do you even free support bro?

molten linden
#

scroll up

#

😂

fallow lily
#

I'm not dyin here. you guys say it is possible with ser2net on HAOS I'll see what I can do

molten linden
#

you just need reconfigure your adapter in zha

#

and manually point it to socket://ip:port

grim igloo
#

or be one of the cool kids and re-pair everything and use z2m and relearn how to walk with a better gui

#

both are valid :x

molten linden
#

no need for ser2net except maybe on the other end where the usb is plugged in.

#

and pair something to only get "unsupported" when it's been out for 5 years already. lol

#

(and follows zigbee spec)

grim igloo
#

i've had limited experience with zha just helping others over video calls. my two main complaints are lack of sane zigbee grouping names from the entities created from zha and the events of zha instead of button presses that z2m has, plus in my opinion, a less intuitive and less feature-rich gui implementation plus a lack of product pages is a huge negative

#

which i think is objectively true and accurate not opinionated

#

but i could be wrong

#

i want to want to do the dishes, as it were

molten linden
#

Each is good in their own way. I started with zha and am old and don't like change 😉

grim igloo
#

Well based on my (ignored) open issue on z2m about the default onboarding providing insecure installations I’m tempted to say fuck koenkk

#

Especially with how I’ve seen the positive support provided by puddly and co here

#

especially the added things in the past year or so with ZHA such as automatically doing an env scan and picking the best channel etc

Hi everybody I suspect I might be in a world of pain. I just received my skyconnect. Started the process of migrating the radio and decommissoned my conbee II. Upon selecting the skkyconnect it asked "which radio type?" (Idk man it's your stick), went to google and couldn't find that info. accidentally refreshed the page and now I get an error when I try to migrate radio.

grim igloo
#

before going further can you confirm you are using a usb extension cable like the one provided in the skyconnect box?

vernal lotus
#

yes and it is detected

#

I'm hoping a restart will get me somewhere. I swear if I have to reconnect 73 devices...

grim igloo
#

kinda feels like you should've confirmed what the process was to migrate before you just did it

vernal lotus
#

I watched some YT videos and followed the official instructions. Where did I mess up?

grim igloo
#

i'm interested in their responses too

#

my understanding is zha just works and devices slowly migrate as they send info back to the coordinator but i have no first hand experience

#

and some end devices like battery powered sensors dont always jump over

#

and that's just to be expected

vernal lotus
#

I'm not even at that part

#

I literally can't configure the new radio. I took a snapshot before the change over luckily. I got through the process of removing the old radio and then it asked what radio type the new one was (that part wasn't covered anywhere and there is a forum post about it that remains unresolved from like feb 2023). Now when I start the process over it just fails before it even asks me for the radio type and just says "unknownm error"

molten linden
#

it should probe it and detect it.

#

if not you can manually select ezsp

vernal lotus
#

there it is thank you!

#

Ill try that

heady kayak

i dont see replies if you dont ping me dude

it's easier to learn the 4 people who dont want pings turned on (tinkerer+3) than to turn off replies for everyone else

I didn't think an actual ping was warrented 😉 if you saw, you saw. if you didn't, no loss 😄

feels like one was missed

however said handful of people think their logic applies to everyone

#

when it very much doesnt lol

vernal lotus

Thanks @molten linden! I ended up selecting "reconfigure existing radio" and that workflow got me through without making me wanna drown anything.

#

I probably only lost the dumb ikea buttons again but that's only 3 devices.

molten linden
#

nice.

#

puddly gets all the credit for the migration stuff, he did all the backend and most of the frontend work.

i feel like the community gets like 4% of the credit for bitching til they got that feature set tho

lol

grim igloo
#

nah if you have $ throw it at puddly/zha for sure

molten linden
#

well he is part of Nabu now

vernal lotus
#

yeah I mean it wasn't buttery smooth but big props to the backend work that made it so I didn't have to rebuild my whole zigbee network which is not small.

molten linden
#

you know they sell a stick so have to have a dev on staff lol

grim igloo
molten linden
#

I'm on my fourth or 5th coordinator, and I did it back before all the built in easy stuff

grim igloo

since when

#

i thought nabu casa just benefited from his free work on github

#

which is very common

#

he's a part of nabu casa proper now?

molten linden
vernal lotus
#

I mean my understanding was that ever since they got into the hardware game they started bringing people into the fold like with the year of the voice and all.

grim igloo
#

i see

molten linden
#

he's helped me for ages and made the while zigpy-znp lib long before being part of nabu

grim igloo
#

didnt realize Martin Hjelmare was a part of it either based on how they treat him in #beta and other channels

#

red headed stepchild style

#

i saw his approvals in core though

molten linden
#

I think that's a different persion

grim igloo
#

i know it is

#

just drawing parallels

molten linden
#

I mean the dev and the guy in beta

#

not sure the dev is on here much at all.

grim igloo
#

i see

#

whoa

#

ludeeus was hired too. TIL

#

did they get some round of funding recently

#

?

molten linden
#

no they are only supported through subsription and I guess any profit on hardware

#

they don't do outside funding

grim igloo
#

that doesnt really make sense from a how the fuck do they afford it perspective

#

especially without accepting donations and only nabu casa subs or hardware buys

#

i cant imagine the dev work is cheap right?

molten linden
#

🤷🏼‍♂️ that's what they say so..

grim igloo
#

240,054 Active Home Assistant Installations extrapolate that to small % of nabu casa subs and other hardware buys

#

that is literally not very much $ to pay people

#

like at all

molten linden
#

that number is only the ones that opt into analytics

#

likley at least double or more

#

but we are far outside zigbee.

grim igloo
#

same point still stands times 100

#

well i did send you a pm to continue the convo but here we are lol

molten linden
#

I don't think everyone is full time

vernal lotus
#

I mean $30 for skyconnect, $5 for nabu casa subs. That's at least like ... enough for lunches.

jolly hollow
vernal lotus
#

Not that exact one but similar

jolly hollow
#

How'd it go? Everything work as expected with all the options you need?

vernal lotus
#

for me the red flag is the association with the tuya or smartlife app.

#

but anyways besides that, mine just was discovered after holding the button on the side for 5 seconds

#

this is the one I used in several places. Rock solid no complaints.

jolly hollow
#

Which strips do you use with it?

vernal lotus
grim igloo
#

wait no

#

let's forget everything you learned

#

and instead buy individually addressable leds and use wled controllers instead of zigbee

#

is better

jolly hollow
#

That was the original plan but can't find RGBCCT. They seem to not exist

vernal lotus
#

I mean I would say the same thing if thats what you're trying to do, but we're in the zigbee channel so

grim igloo
#

well technically rgbcct doesnt exist because cct needs a white channel

#

so you mean rgbw-cct

#

and zigbee is great but if you want ambient lighting go wled and wifi dude

#

or ethernet hats depends on the application

jolly hollow
#

I've seen with and without the dash but that's irrelevant

grim igloo
#

no it's not irrelevant

#

you said rgb not rgbw

#

that's very much not the same

#

rgb takes 100red 100green 100blue to "make" white

#

not the same as a dedicated white channel

jolly hollow
grim igloo
#

again those are analog

jolly hollow
#

I know....

grim igloo
#

a lot of people want individually addressable rgbw

#

sk6812 or similar

#

there are 24v fcob ones that are nice now

vernal lotus
jolly hollow
#

You can still use WLED with analog but there's extra hardware involved.

grim igloo
grim igloo
jolly hollow
#

Anyway. This is for under cabinet so I'm not sure individually addressable is required

grim igloo
jolly hollow
#

Neat

grim igloo
#

they got lots of free support

heady kayak
#

individually addressable is nice for effects, but if you're just wanting to throw solid colours, over rated.

jolly hollow
#

I'm already there, thanks. I know what came here to ask.

If you know if individually addressable tunable white with RGB as well as I'm all ears.

grim igloo
#

that is what sk6812 is but 5v so you need lots of power injection

#

not ideal for long runs

#

although actually the white channel is either ww/cw/nw not fully cct

jolly hollow
#

Are those tunable white? All the ones I saw you have to choose warm or cool

grim igloo
#

you can still technically tune the white channel that's just the initial hue or w/e

#

these are apparently the new cool thing

#

but rgb not w

#

they're packed so densely that you end up with a pretty nice end result

#

and pre-diffused basically since fcob

#

a common solution is actually running rgb alongside white led strips and letting wled turn whatever on the controller is told to

#

feels like overkill for under cabinets but still useful to know

#

using ws2812b. if i redid it i would use sk6812 or the fcob 24v

jolly hollow
#

Yea I saw Reed's video with FCOBs. Nice to not have to go out and get diffusers as well.

grim igloo
#

reed isnt a bad dude but not the guy you go to for leds man

#

he doesnt really know much just surface level

#

quindor is the dude

#

reed is a video editor that just happens to use home assistant

#

i'm sure he's enjoying the multiple thousands of dollars per month in affiliate links tho

#

you'd still want aluminum channels to dissipate heat assuming he covered the basics in his video

jolly hollow
#

Idk. Didn't watch it for that.

grim igloo
#

ah you literally just joined wled discord today

#

lots to learn then

#

bonus points for not buying stuff on a whim from a random youtuber trying to make $ of you tho (reed)

half cradle
#

was cheaper then just a controller,

grim igloo
#

ah the $7 tuya suggestion

#

yeah ignore that too

half cradle
#

Yea, tuya sucks, but its for under my five year olds bed

grim igloo
#

if you want high CRI analog strips then absolutely you need to avoid invididually addressable

#

there's lots of use cases

jolly hollow
#

I feel like this is a "Don't hate the player, hate the game" moment.

I always do my research with all my smart home purchases. I went there because I finally found real tunable white (2 colour temperatures) but it was analog and wanted to see if it could still work with WLED, I found out it would but extra hardware would be involved then found the link I posted with my original question here.

Now you know my life story

grim igloo
#

the problem is there is a lot of shit advice from "reputable" peopel in the industry aka youtubers because they dont fucking know any better

heady kayak
#

LEDs are heat sensitive. Mounting them in an aluminium channel helps prolong their lifespan by wicking away heat.

grim igloo
#

and or dont care

jolly hollow
#

I'd rather high CRI than individually addressable I think.
I'm not trying to put on a light show in my kitchen

grim igloo
#

and there is nothing wrong with that

#

in that case i would probably buy premade athom analog controllers

#

depends on the amount of leds needed tho

#

and power injection

#

etc

#

if a controller cant provide the power needed you can combine with a secondary psu or split off the psu and marry the ground wires of each psu with strips (but not positive) to add additional power

#

just ask more questions before you combine multiple psus to confirm you arent doing it wrong

#

this shouldnt scare you away it's all pretty straightforward

#

that's why 24v is nice

#

less worry with voltage drop and needing to add more power to end of strip or w/e

jolly hollow
#

I'm going to have several 1m sections that I figure I could even use 5v and just inject on each section but one power supply.
Like 1 5m roll should be fine but I know with 5v I'd need injection if I was lighting up the entire 5m length.

grim igloo
#

5v is a pain dude

#

you pretty much only use 5v if you want individually addressable

#

because you want rgb(w) or because you want to use cheap rgb(ws2812b)

#

you dont buy 5v analog strips for funziez

#

anyways you'll get better support in the wled discord

#

i still wouldnt suggest a zigbee controller over a wled wifi one

#

they just dont have feature parity

jolly hollow
#

Just saying I'm not worried about injection because it'll be broken up into sections anyway

grim igloo
#

but for basic on off w/e that works

jolly hollow
#

So technically it already will have injection

grim igloo
#

well assuming you actually add new power rails

#

anyways sounds like you have the right idea

#

i'd personally suggest the quindor discord server over wled

jolly hollow
grim igloo
#

yes his server

#

he hangs out in wled server too but the guys in his server are pretty helpful

#

also between his docs and his videos you really dont need to talk to anyone

#

if you are a docs and go type of person

#

i am also a fan of his hardware but not needed or really the best option for analog unless you solder the boards together yourself

#

altho i think he's working on releasing some new ones premade? idk i dont keep up

#

that's a full time job

jolly hollow
#

Ok, thanks for the info.

I tried digging around a bit and couldn't find anything conclusive- is there a device maximum on the HA Skyconnect RE: Zigbee devices?

I suddenly began to encounter "failed to set up" the ZHA integration. It has been working fine for years. Anyone that can help me on this?

heyhey

i just bought a new zigbee coordinator (CC2652RB) to replace my half functioning conbeeII

but now i'm unable to get zigbee2mqtt working again
below is a pastebin of the logs

Does ZHA work with the Sonoff usb stick?

lime locust
#

@molten linden euhm still trying to get my wrongfully flashed 2652P2 into bootloader, does d13 need to be on gnd before plugging in ?

molten linden
#

If you tap the RES to low while dio13 is low it should work. Otherwise yes you can plug in while holding dio13 low

#

@lime locust ^

lime locust
#

shield is always low(gnd) ?

#

should there be an indication that it is in BSL mode ?

#

led ?

#

do i have to hold d13--> gnd then try flash ?

#

suspecting it's empty

#

first time trying gives ACK/NACK 2nd time access denied

molten linden
#

You can check with continuity to the ground pin, it’s the bottom most pin on the same side as dio13 and res

#

I’m not familiar with the stick you have - only the module

#

So am not aware of any indicator for bsl mode. I don’t think there is one as there are not any that I am aware of.

#

I would keep trying.. if it doesn’t work then yeah I guess it’s bricked but have only seen 1-2 brick out of thousands I’ve dealt with

lime locust
#

keep d13 to low when trying to connect via multitool ?

molten linden
#

I would try holding it low when hitting res or plugging in, continue holding for 5-10 seconds then release and try flash

are ikea smart bulbs essentially tuya bulbs?

burnt idol
frigid quartz
#

Are they considered good ones?

sterile sleet
#

Zigbee wise? Or bulb wise?

trail aspen
frigid quartz
#

Both wise since I plan ti sue them with different and HA

sterile sleet
#

Both OK, not bad and cheap

frigid quartz
weary kettle
trail aspen
#

wait, you mean the usb stick or?

#

I am using the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2

sterile sleet
#

Yes they support effects

trail aspen
#

it depends on the zigbee device you are trying to use

#

i.e. the light itself

#

if the light support it and is using the correct standard, then it works

#

otherwise it requires some 'quirk' file to tell home assistant how to interact with the light

burnt idol
#

i'm at the point of completely wiping HA and starting over and i kinda dont want to do that

frigid quartz
burnt idol
#

they dont dim to 0%

#

but for most rooms they are more than adequate

#

in my livingroom i have HUE bulbs

#

rest of the rooms are all ikea

frigid quartz
#

I mean they are not really cheap though

trail aspen
burnt idol
#

tbh theyre not expensive

astral seal
#

$14 US for a 75W equivalent Zigbee bulb is pretty good. I'm just going off their website since I don't have an IKEA locally but yeah.

I am running mostly chinese lights except a ikea led bulb and a hue rgb

trail aspen
frigid quartz
#

No it’s IKEA.

frigid quartz
#

Which is no longer that cheap

trail aspen
#

I tested out the ikea in a physical shop and decided it is not good enough(colors are a bit off)

#

then went to the store next to idea and bought the hue lol

burnt idol
#

places where color accuracy does not matter -> ikea
places where you eat food -> hue

#

is how i do it

frigid quartz
burnt idol
#

i 100% agree

#

however

#

when you need decent CRI for places where you eat

#

then i spend a bit more

#

all of the cheap bulbs have horrible CRI ratings

#

or fake ones

Not without knowing what issues you're having

I thought you use the addon. Then check the journal logs or whatever

burnt idol
#

It runs as an addon inside HA

ashen bluff
#

An addon is a docker container

burnt idol
#

but they dont save the full file

#

and the log screen is not big enough for everything

ashen bluff
#

Use the community SSH addon to run docker logs

all logical names dont work

docker ps will give you the names. Also in the link I gave

Unfortunate I can't really see anything useful but I'm not an expert. Try the config from here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/zigbee-network.html#network-config
but change a few things like 0xDD to 0xDE and check here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/installation/20_zigbee2mqtt-fails-to-start.html#error-coordinator-failed-to-start-probably-the-panid-is-already-in-use-try-a-different-panid-or-channel
Also make sure there's no interference and use a usb extension on a USB 2 port

burnt idol
#

still doesnt work

#

ive already spent over 12 hours on it today

#

im done with it for now

You're experiencing interference, it's nothing to do with the PAN ID. Move your coordinator onto a USB extension cable and far away from USB 3.0 ports, SSDs, and 2.4GHz WiFi APs.

burnt idol
#

Its already on an extension

#

Ill try again tommorow

burnt idol
austere patio
#

As far away as you can

#

So I wouldn't keep it in a networking cabinet with other stuff

burnt idol
#

So i can see it and learn from the logs

austere patio
#

The PAN ID error message can mean one of two things: either an identical network already exists, or there is interference. It's just a quirk of the stack.

burnt idol
#

And since i already tried 100 different id's

#

It kinda has to be interference

Good morning all - I'm very new to Home automation, Home assistant and all that... I managed to get a HUSBZB-1 Zigbee adapter and a few Sonoff smart plugs working in home assistant, I'd like to add a few thermostats to different houses around the room but I notice on amazon most say require a specific hub... are there any generic ones I could get that works with the Adaptor I already have, an or/any someone could recommend?

ashen bluff
#

No. There can only be one coordinator/hub. Well you can have multiple networks but usually you only have one coordinator/hub.
If you tell us the device we might be able to tell you one

astral seal
#

With Zigbee devices, some manufacturers like to say "requires our hub" but they're lying. Usually .Most Zigbee devices will work with or at least connect to any coordinator.
By "thermostats" do you mean temperature/humidity sensors or?

I want to know what temp it is in other rooms in my house, to later automate some air conditioning etc

Hi All. I upgraded Zigbee2mqtt today to 1.32.0 and my Develco ZHEMI101 stopped providing any values, so I removed it and tried to readd but now I just keep getting interview failed messages with no more details.

I downgraded Z2M to 1.30.0 which is what I was running on previously but same thing keeps happening, Develco ZHEMI101 refuses to pair.

burnt idol
#

update to 32.2

#

30.0 has problems

#

update to 32.0.2*

stable dew
#

the dev branch?

burnt idol
#

shouldnt be?

#

i know the dev pushed a fix within an hour of noticing shit was broken

stable dew
#

ok let me try again then

burnt idol

im running 32.0.2 and im on the main branch

really strange

#

@clever nest are you also in this chat?

lime locust
#

can anyone point me to the CLI way to flash cc2652P ?

#

and the zigstar FW from the official zigstar site via web installer , will it work on z2m ?

trail aspen
#

is there any zigbee wall switch with metering? i.e. amp/watt/voltage/power factor

#

220/230V UK box

burnt idol
#

uk box is same as EU box right

trail aspen
#

hmm

#

maybe

#

looks similar to me but not sure

burnt idol
#

hm

trail aspen
#

you got any suggestion?

burnt idol
#

not really yet

trail aspen
#

has neutral in box

burnt idol
#

maybe

trail aspen
#

sorry, forgot to mention, I need a double pole one

burnt idol
#

why double pole

#

and with double pole do you mean switch line and neutral or switch 2 diffent lichts

#

or do you mean use 2 switches for 1 light

trail aspen
#

no its for a split air conditioner

burnt idol
#

wut

trail aspen
#

what?

burnt idol
#

so you need one that switchs both line and neutral

#

i think

trail aspen
#

yes

#

that is what I mean

burnt idol
#

hm

trail aspen
#

the DP switch

burnt idol
#

why do you want to switch power to the unit in that way?

#

its not how we do it in the netherlands atleast

trail aspen
#

how you do it there then

#

I am more familiar with UK electrical

burnt idol
#

constant power to outdoor unit

#

outdoor unit powers indoor unit

#

and you control is via the thermostat or remote

#

or wifi or whatever

#

but outdoor unit stays powered

trail aspen
#

same but the owner wants to switch off the whole system when not in use

#

and there is a dumb DP switch already installed

#

so I need a double pole switch

burnt idol
#

idk then

#

sorry

if my cc2652p not showing up as /dev/ttyUSB is it dead ?

could anyone help reviving my cc2652P

carmine hamlet
#

What happened?

lime locust
#

tried the non launchpad firmware on this one

#

trying to reflash

#

but it seems , i cant get it into bootloader

#

trying to reflash using CLI python script , but /dev/ttyUSB0 doesnt show up

#

it stil makes a dingdong sound when connecting in windows

#

and zigstar multitool says ACK/NACK

#

then access denied

#

nvm gonna order new one , guess its dead damnit

#

recommendations ? cc2652p again or .....

sour shadow
#

ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT?

lime locust
#

z2m

sour shadow
#

Then CC2652 based is the only sane choice

lime locust
#

Right any difference in RB or P version

#

seen both on-site

sour shadow
lime locust
#

hmm ok P has a RF poweramplifier builtin seems the best

#

ty

#

for

#

link

#

RB crystal-less , dunno if thats a +

sour shadow
#

In normal use it makes no difference which chip is used

lime locust
#

should be good ... ?

#

is TI 2652P

#

or this one SONOFF ZigBee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus, TI CC2652P Coördinator

#

seems better suited with aluminium housing ...

#

dunno if its P or E variant

sour shadow
#

Sonoff ... nah

lime locust
#

what's wrong with the sonoff , has the most awesome housing ?¿

sour shadow
#

Search the channel history, but in short there's been some quality control/reliablity issues

lime locust
#

ah

#

ty

#

@molten linden the round cc2652P pucks are yours ?

sour shadow
#

The ones he sells are

#

Those made by others won't be 😛

#

lal was wondering about shipping to EU ?

sour shadow
#

He ships to the EU

lime locust

est time o delivery

astral seal
#

Yeah that's an inductive load

trail aspen
#

to be specific, requirements are:
handle at least 16A
double pole single throw (DPST)
Preferably zigbee, obviously, given the channel I am asking this in

#

UK wall box, voltage, frequency

astral seal
#

So what I would look into is a DPST relay and then use a smart switch to trigger the relay.

#

Then it doesn't really matter if the smart switch can handle all the amps, since all it's doing is telling the relay when to open/close.

Hello, I have just installed a zigbee dimmer and it works great. When I control the dimmer locally everything updates fine in Home Assistant, and I can control the light from Home Assistant when I use a slider to dim the lights. And when toggling I turn off the lights, but I cannot turn on the lights again via the same toggle. Then I have to locally turn on the lights again on the actual dimmer.

Also when I turn off the lights via toggle switch in HA it does not update the light value feedback, but it does update the value when using the dimmer locally. What can be the issue?

hi I have a an existing HA installation and am adding Zigbee to it with a skyconnect usb device. Or at least I'm trying to do that; HA doesn't seem to discover it. I'm running HA core-2023.5.4 in a docker container, on top of Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS. I've tried the suggestions in the installation instructions: different usb ports, am using the extension cable, have waited a while, have refreshed the browser page.

I am trying to add a SONOFF ZBDongle-p 3.0 dongle to HA on my PI 3.0 as my very first coordinator. I plan on starting my Zigbee network using ZHA. When I connect the dongle, it is discovered and presented for configuration. When I attempt to start congiuration, is is prompting me to upload a manual backup file:

Restore your network settings from an uploaded backup JSON file. You can download one from a different ZHA installation from Network Settings, or use a Zigbee2MQTT coordinator_backup.json file.

and will not allow me to proceed further

Anyone have any suggestions nightstand / tables lights that work well with zigbee bulbs? are there any options besides wiring a sonoff?

astral seal
#

I mean anything you like with a standard bulb socket should work right?

half cradle
#

welll yes, but with "smart bulb" mode.

#

I.e. inovelli, or shelley, sonoff

astral seal
#

I guess when you said nightstand/table lights I was thinking of lamps that plug into an outlet and have a knob or pull chain. With those you just pop a smart bulb in and don't touch the switch on the lamp, and use a button or something for control, or put them on a smart plug if you're rolling dumb bulbs.

half cradle
astral seal
#

I don't know if there's any way to do that given the limitations of a lamp socket

#

Not without some custom fabrication anyway.

half cradle
#

same,

#

figured I'd ask

astral seal
#

It's a neat concept and theoretically possible, but you'd basically have to build the whole lamp from scratch.
I can visualize the wiring, that bit's easy, it's building a lamp base that would accommodate it that's the obstacle.

agreed

#

lamp design is probably to personal otherwise

You want to use an extension cable with all of them

fathom ginkgo
#

How come other premade solutions like homey and other zigbee hubs work just fine?

sour shadow
#

"Fine" and "well" are different

#

Also some of those hubs likely have shielding in place

fathom ginkgo
#

I guess a shielded extension cable is a better solution then, but not sure if that exists for USB?

sour shadow
#

Doesn't need to be a shielded cable

#

Okay, got a cable installed. Should I reboot?

sour shadow

Shouldn't need to

Hope this works, the dongle is now a few meters away from the pi. But need to find a better solution to place the dongle, can't have it running all over the apartment

You don't have it "running all over"

You put it on a cable, away from WiFi, Bluetooth, and USB

you mean it must detect a motion first? Or what do you mean?
