@austere patio will be here tomorrow.... Although I did a fresh install, been meaning to move from a pi to a vm

#

worked...

#

My switches are giving me "failed to call turn_on" after the latest update, google isnt' giving me clues, reboot hasn't helped... anyone got a cluebat for me on what to search for?

#

Zigbee channel 15 utilization is 97.39%! ..... this seems odd too, not sure what might cause it

#

okkkaay, didn't change anything, and it's now working after 2 days of beating my head, reboots, googles... i don't get it. literally nothing changed other than me just looking at the config in studio code, no save no reboot no nothin.

Here are the diagnostics from ZHA: https://pastes.io/rdhz5ravdx
Here are the log output from zigpy: https://pastes.io/ahnexklkmk

I re-paired the Unavailable devices yesterday aroung 3 PM after changing the Wifi channel.

Following devices were dropped out today:

Aqara P1: IEEE: 00:15:8d:00:09:42:05:f4, Nwk: 0xb23c
Aqara P1: IEEE: 00:15:8d:00:07:e9:5f:a2, Nwk: 0xdb46

How common is false positives for motion sensors due to temperature changes? I have it a lot with some sensors... 😦

#

I would want it to react to movement, but it seems to be easily spooked...

ashen bluff
#

Well that's how they usually work

A passive infrared sensor (PIR sensor) is an electronic sensor that measures infrared (IR) light radiating from objects in its field of view.

solid inlet
#

Not that has the aggregated knowledge you guys have. Sorry if I assumed wrong

sour shadow
#

I mean... PIRs have been around for decades, their behaviour is well known and well documented

solid inlet
#

Ok. I was trying to boil down to if this particular model was more receptacle to this than others, but essentially the same then I suppose. I'll see if I can move it somewhat. Thanks

violet dagger
#

is the model some secret one that we're not allowed to know about?

sour shadow
#

Well, different units are built differently, and have different sensitivity... but if you want more sensitive you tend to get more FPs

solid inlet
violet dagger
#

those are the "sensitive" kind

#

which is also adjustable

solid inlet
#

Rats... Didn't know that. In "harsh" conditions, which one should I look at?

#

seems like temperature is changing a lot where I need it to be

sour shadow
#

mmWave

solid inlet
#

Oh. Well, probably not cheap, but sounds great... 🙂

violet dagger
#

depends on what you buy

solid inlet
#

True. I found mmWave on a TexasInstrument page, meant for builders. Are there consumer products too? Will google more then 🙂

sour shadow
#

There are a number of Zigbee options

violet dagger
#

try googling for "presence sensor"

sour shadow

Or just search the lists in the pins

Hi,
I discovered that my Sonoff button SNZB-01 stopped working. The only entity available when programming the automation is the battery level. I uninstalled it, but reinstalling didn't help. Battery level 100%. online. Where is my/hardware error?

most likely in sonoff's manufacturing standard

@austere patio issue was faulty inovelli blue switch

Don't buy inovelli from Amazon.... It wasn't part of known bad batch, and incase anyone else is curious. Of course I only realized this after nuking my entire network.

When you set up the coordinator, did you use the hostname, or the IP?

I've tried both, neither work.

And it's on the same IP as before?

glossy axle

Originally I was on hostname, after fighting with it for hours last night and a bit this morning, I deleted it from HA and it re-auto-detected that is was there and could be configured, but won't configure it now.
Yes the IP is static and has not changed.

@mossy olive Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.
When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

Hi all, I had to change my zigbee channel from 20 to 16 so that I can align my SkyConnect Thread Border routers as one system. As expected, most of my devices have not returned....what the best and fastest way to resolve this? try reconfigure? delete -repair? Most of myt devices battery one.

maybe switching back to ZHA is a better option?

Set the log level to debug and see if that tells you why it's stopping

molten linden

molten linden
#

No

#

You “add zigbee device” (ie enable pairing) then physically reset the devices one by one. I believe pairing in zha is active for 5 minutes

#

They are no longer on the network so reconfigure won’t work.

got it

#

I have change the configuration, how do I make it generate new log? I have tried restart container but now log is being created

limber tide
#

does the ZHA integration have to be aware of the zigbee device id before it will let it connect? I have this odd device called a 1313 Load controller is there some generic thing I could get it to detect under?

opaque helm
#

is there a zigbee devices tier list? I want reliable plug

sour shadow
#

Not really

#

Options depend on your country, and budget, and requirements

limber tide
#

How does install code work there doesn't seem to be an example for it?

#

I clicked services then searched zha.permit which brought up 5 fields Duration, IEEE, Source IEEE, Install Code, QR Code

#

On the device is a sticker that says zb evi64 and a 16 digit numeric number, then Installer code which is a 16 digit alphanumeric.

#

Am I supposed to have a mac address as well to use in the IEEE first box or one of those are the mac address

limber tide
#

I scanned the QRCode on the device and it shows both these numbers again but with the header

EUI64: 0000000000000000; ZBIC: 1A1A1A1A1A1A1A1A

#

When I try to put these numbers in that service screen it says the installer code is too short

#

I have this rainforest automation device that connects to it but wanted to remove that so it could just talk directly to the zigbee dongle

#

I'm guessing because there is no module for it in the zha code base that it can't detect it and just ignores it when I put it in pairing mode.

carmine hamlet
#

I don't think you can talk directly to your meter like that. It uses Zigbee, but it's a power version, not ZHA

limber tide
#

Oh it's not a meter it's a secondary device that came with it there was also plugs that worked directly but were a known brand

carmine hamlet
#

I also use a Rainforest Eagle box

#

Ok

limber tide
#

It's a 240V load controller that lets you turn stuff like pool pumps and air conditioners on and off

carmine hamlet
#

Nevermind 🙂

limber tide
#

the plugs were salus sx885zb so they were easy to flop over to the zigbee dongle.

#

thats the load controller from above if you can't see that twitter img

#

basically gives your 3 buttons to switch large load devices

limber tide
carmine hamlet
#

I only got it to talk to my meter

limber tide
#

Does it still work for you in HA?

#

I had it connected with the intergration but mine just says unavailable

#

worked for a while

#

You can manually poll stuff from it like this if you want to snoop
curl --anyauth -u "CLOUDID:INCODE" -XPOST "http://IP/cgi-bin/post_manager" -d '<Command><Name>device_list</Name></Command>'

limber tide
#

Wonder what would have to happen to get that to work

carmine hamlet
limber tide
#

Thanks for that sad nothing came about it or can't come because of that #4 statement as I've already had one of these rainforest devices die and it doesn't really seem like the company does much of anything for it.

#

Be sad to waste this neat load controller for nothing.

#

I wonder if newer meters support regular zigbee 3.0

carmine hamlet
#

I have one of the original Eagle boxes, which seem superior to all that have come later. I can use mine locally, while the newer ones are cloud only

Hello, I successfully connected to my home assistant (Docker 2023.6.3 - ZHA with a Sonoff ZBDongle-P) two SONOFF SNZB-02 temperature/humidity sensor.

After a couple of tries I was able to read temp/hum/bat/lqi, however after a few hours data reading stops and the home assistant gets stuck reporting the same values. The issue happens at different times but with both sensors.

For troubleshooting I restarted the HA, installed new batteries, removed the batteries and re-installed them, and reset and re-paired the devices, the issues comes back after a few hours.

I also removed the batteries for a couple of hours and HA stills reports the same data, it never reports the sensors as unavailable.

I tried to find on the web solutions to not avail. The ZBDongle-P has installed the latest coordinator firmware from here (https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/tree/master/coordinator/Z-Stack_3.x.0/bin)

Any hints on how can I correct/solve the issue? Thaks in advance

#

Is about 25 feet direct line of sight (through a window), and yes the dongle is connected with an USB extension cable.

I have several devices connected to it, 6x thirdreality contact sensors, 3x ikea motion sensors, and they all work without issues

#

The devices are scattered all around the house, across three stories.

#

To clarify, one of the sensors is on direct line of sight at about 25 feet (throughout a window) and the other about 30 feet with three dry-walls between the coordinator and the device

astral seal
#

No mains powered devices?

worthy holly
#

However the data stalls even in the same room at less than 15 feet. Both sensors has new batteries. I replaced the ones that came with the sensors for troubleshooting.

The sensor that is connected to the Amazon Echo, has not had any issue for 8 days now

astral seal
#

I have a couple of those sensors and they're a little goofy honestly. Ime they need to be paired through a nearby router device (plug, bulb, some mains powered switches) or they'll have problems like that.

worthy holly
#

So instead of pairing it to the ZBDongle-P acting as a coordinator, should I use a separated router?

#

No mains powered devices

#

@astral seal The ZBDongle-P is usb powered by a raspberry Pi 4

After some research I figured out that new glass (HR++ insulated stuff) is very bad for Wifi recepton. Hence also for zigbee reception.

Does the SkyConnect dongle work via USB when Home Assistant OS is hosted in Hyper-V on Windows, please?

#

As in: Can I buy a SkyConnect dongle, plug it into an available USB port on the host machine, [make sure the USB port can be accessed by the Hyper-V container], add SkyConnect to the running Home Assistant OS, and then start plugging in Zigbee lights around my house?

sour shadow
#

Well, the question is ... does Hyper-V support USB passthrough

#

And ISTR that the answer is no

hasty lake
#

hmmm google search confirms - Attach USB device to Hyper-V guest machine - Microsoft Q&A
Jan 24, 2022 — The answer is a big NO. Hyper-V CANNOT have pass-trough USB device other then storage. I.e. No ZigBee dongle,

drat

#

so how can i use a SkyConnect dongle? i have to put Home Assistant OS on a dedicated machine?

sour shadow
#

What's your goal?

#

To have Zigbee support, or to specifically buy that one stick?

hasty lake
#

to begin using Zigbee and then Matter devices, mainly lights, around my house

sour shadow
#

Don't confuse Matter and Thread 😉

hasty lake
#

i already have HAOS running and interfacing with my existing cloud-based lights but i want home-based ones

sour shadow
#

For Zigbee you've got network connected Zigbee coordinators

hasty lake
#

the SkyConnect caught my eye because it promises Zigbee compatibility now and Matter/Thread support when needed (i.e. when products start coming out)

#

i don't want to have to buy something now just to be obsolete in a few months

sour shadow
#

Personally I'd buy a Zigbee coordinator for today, and worry about Thread if you get to it

#

Matter doesn't have to use Thread, and HA can use other Thread gateways

hasty lake
#

so a zigbee coordinator is a standalone hub (physical device?) that HA can communicate with and command all the household's zigbee products?

sour shadow
#

Kinda, yes

#

The coordinator is the radio device that bridges HA (or Zigbee2MQTT, or deCONZ) to the Zigbee radio protocol

hasty lake
#

thanks for explaining, first time i've seen the word 'coordinator'

#

ok so it is a physical device

sour shadow
#

Yes

#

Check the pins for an explanation on Zigbee

hasty lake
#

much like the skyconnect... only it isn't USB, i presume?

sour shadow
#

Yes

#

You need a radio, same as with Z-Wave and Thread

hasty lake
#

which integration should i go with if starting today?

sour shadow
#

That's entirely personal preference

#

Both ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT are good choices, depending on what you prefer

rapid dawnBOT
#

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

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

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

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

hasty lake
#

looks like ZHA is the winner for my use

sour shadow
#

The link I posted ... those all work with ZHA too

limber tide
#

Doesn't VirtualBox by Oracle allow USB Passthrough in Windows?

#

It does

So they could use that instead of Hyper-V.

I got two IKEA shortcut buttons, and they are controlling two different entities. Did a OTA on them some hours ago and after the update one of the switches started to turn on both entities. I have removed them and added them again, and before adding them I also deleted the automations. Made new automations and everything worked fine for a couple of hours, but now one of them keeps turning on both entities again. Anyone experienced this?

Was wondering if anybody has had this. I swapped from HUSBZB-1 to skyconnect (zigbee) all went smooth. I left the HUSBZB-1 pluged in for my z-wave radio the next day i rebooted all my zigbee devices went back to the HUSBZB-1 but it wasnt working correctly. can i turn off the zigbee radio in the HUSBZB-1.

Hi. I'm looking to get another smart plug, and have checked the pinned messages, but it just says what works, not what works well... So for use in EU, 16 amps, are there any that stands out as a better choice? I need it to measure Watts, but that's it

# near echo Check the trace in your automatio.n for those buttons. It should reval details. ...

Removed the button and the automation and did a reinstall. Works fine now. I do know that I can control different entities from the buttons and indeed I do so. But in this case its two different lights different places in the room. One is a IKEA Lågtryck lamp with three Trådfri E14 Bulbs, the other light is a ordinary lamp with a Aquara switch mounted to it. Thanks for taking the time to answer and thanks for the tip about trace, I did actually not know that.

near echo
void sandal
#

Yes I think most of IKEA products is good value for money. This was just a test, were at IKEA on our vacation and when wifey wanted a new lamp I just grabbed a couple of shortcut buttons and the Trådfri bulbs just to test it. For now I am running most of my heating and lights on Eatons xComfort as I have been running it for more than ten years. I have z-wave door lock, lots of Aquara sensors, and some Aquara switces and now some IKEA. Everything running smooth now on HA. I have migrated from my old system to this in just a short time and have had to learn a lot fast. But it is fun to learn and as I also is a teacher at vocational school and are supposed to learn future electricians about smart home automation, then it is nice to have some knowledge.

Did you disable legacy_triggers in Z2M's HA config?

old perch
#

All "legacy" options in Z2M are disabled

#

Try enabling it, see if that changes it

That does fix it. I guess I'll have to read up on what that switch does... Since this is a new set-up, I disabled anything "legacy" related, but ehh..

Does anyone know how to configure the value read by MQTT? I have a zigbee Tuya TS0201 temperature and humidity sensor. The humidity shown on the device's display is right, but the way MQTT interprets it, the decimal point is moved one digit to the left. ie, the device shows 45% humidity but HA shows 4.5%.
It's integrated with Z2M. Thanks.

sour shadow
#

That'd be a problem with the converter in Zigbee2MQTT

#

Open an issue against it

(or provide a fix)

hey is there a way to test if the zigbee stick is working? it was noticed and configured with ZHA but when i search for devices it’s just continually searching and not finding anything.. it’s a philips hue bulb and i’ve deleted it from my philips hue app (and the pairing process works in the philips app with the hub, but i don’t want the hue hub anymore)

Well, it's not HA

it's Zigbee2MQTT

is there a way to test to see if the zigbee sticks actually working? it’s all configured on HA but can’t find anything

carmine hamlet
#

Can't find...other zigbee devices?

#

How did you arrive at that conclusion?

nocturne vigil
#

well when i search for devices when i have one sat next to the zigbee stick it doesn’t find it?

#

even though that device is visible from a philips hue hub (but not connected)

carmine hamlet
#

Device is in pairing mode? Using a USB extension cable with the dongle?

nocturne vigil
#

i’m reinstalling the container right now just incase that was the issue

carmine hamlet
#

are you using ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT?

nocturne vigil
#

ZHA, it detects my stick and the configures itself

#

so then in the integration it has my zigbee stick. i then go to add devices using it and it just gets stuck ‘searching for zigbee devices’, never finding my device

#

I can’t send screenshots, is there any way i can send screenshots to demonstrate?

heady kayak
#

do you have a phillips dimmer?

#

if you do, you could try using that to reset the bulb

#

(hold the 1 and 0 button on it while holding it close to the bulb, until the bulb flashes. if you have the zha searching at the time, it should find it)

nocturne vigil
#

i’ve got two bulbs and a sensor. I just tried adding a volume that others recommended when people had this issue on the forums but that doesn’t seem to work either

😦

nocturne vigil
#

i’m really stuck on what to do at this point :/

the stick is in the zigbee integration entries, it doesn’t show any issues when setting up, it just will not find anything

oohhh okay i enabled debug logging on it and have got some errors:

I keep running into this issue with Z2M that I see all the sensors correctly in Z2M, they report data, can control them, but homeasistant reports them as unavailable. Is there a quick way to a) fix this b) avoid this? (I'm using the HA addons for both, not externalized etc)

sour shadow
#

Do they show as available in Z2M?

#

Did you enable availability in Z2M and then later disable it?

gritty frigate
#

Hey T - yes they are

#

yep, simple availability is enabled

sour shadow
#

Weird, I've never seen the two disagree

gritty frigate
#

The majority comes back up, but there's a few to stays off for HA - but again, they are all OK in Z2M

#

e.g.: TS0601 (Giex irrigation stuff)
Z2M:
Last seen: just now
Availability: Online

HA:
All entities from this device are "Unavailable"

#

I have Cache state, Persist cache state, and Send cached state on startup enabled - doesn't help much on this

#

I have Home Assistant legacy triggers on, but Home Assistant legacy entity attributes off

#

discovery and status topics untouched

sour shadow
#

That sounds like a problem with the discovery payloads

gritty frigate
#

looking at mqtt explorer, I see zigbee2mqtt/path/to/device active, data there is correct, availability updates correctly when I touch the device (e.g. save default state or anything like that)

#

however, I cant see the 0x0blah id of the device in the homeassistant topic

#

I'd expect that /homeassistant/switch/0x0blah/switch/config something but can't see it

#

let's see what happens when I change homeassistant integration back to 'simple' 😄

#

I'm usually at fault overcomplicating things

#

That seems to have solved it for now, fingers crossed that was all it needed 🙂

Hi all, I have a Lutron Z3-1BRL. According to the Zigbee2MQTT documentation, there is a device specific option called legacy that I would like to disable. Problem is, I'm using ZHA and that option isn't showing up in the UI. Without having to create an entire quirk for the device, is there anyway to pass that legacy option to enable legacy mode? Thank you in advance if you are able to help

Hi, all - I searched the server, but no useful info. Any help would be much appreciated.

Latest version of HA, running as HAOS on a VM. This error began when I removed a Zigbee device from ZHA. If I restore the backup prior to removing the device, the error disappears. After deleting any ZHA device, it recurs on the next reboot.

I got a bunch of the sengled on sale on amazon, and they're good enough, except in the bedroom the flicker is annoying.

#

Does any Phillips Hue bulb work? Is there something in the description in the Hue I should look for?

violet dagger
#

the word Zigbee

grim igloo
#

if it says works with hue hub then you can pair it to zha/z2m

grim obsidian
#

Kk. And I guess a light bulb only works when it's turned on.

grim igloo
#

no, it works when it has power

violet dagger
#

if you plan on cutting power to the bulbs don't get smart bulbs, its not smart

grim obsidian
#

Yeah. That's what I'm thinking. Just planning

#

Oh. I have a aqara button. The description said it needs the aqara hub. If I get my own zigbee coordinator, I can still use the aqara button without the aqara hub, correct?

#

I think the requirement is it needs a mesh network not a aqara hub specifically

grim igloo
grim igloo
#

Technically no mesh needed, but if you want it to work reliably you want a zigbee mesh

violet dagger
#

manufacturer requires you to use the aqara hub but we don't care

grim igloo
#

Only so many devices can pair directly even if devices are close by

grim obsidian
#

My M2 hub is going back to Amazon as well as my 4 pack of govee smart plugs. I need mesh devices not wifi devices

grim igloo
#

Govee in general is just overpriced Chinese stuff with an American sounding name

#

Their led strips etc are very much not worth the money

grim obsidian
#

Yeah I picked up stuff on prime day. The idea was to grab the stuff and I could always return it. Just didn't want to miss some deals

grim igloo
#

Their aqara zigbee cat feeder is apparently pretty cool

grim obsidian
#

I think I'll go with the sonoff s40 smart plugs. 4 for $38

#

unless people had a experience with them

grim igloo
#

nah if you want zigbee ones get third reality

#

however the sonoff s31 wifi plugs flashed with esphome are great

grim obsidian
#

third reality, that a product name?

#

thanks...product

#

Third Reality, 4pack $38. I'll snag them. Only down side, don't arrive until Wed.

#

Thanks @grim igloo

grim igloo
#

Yep

#

They do energy monitoring too I don’t think those sonoff do

#

Either way better product

grim obsidian
#

I was planning on getting the sonoff zigbee cordinator. that ok? It's on the recommended list by HA

#

I would guess it was better than SkyConnect because of the antenna giving it a longer range

grim igloo
#

The p dongle is what a lot of us use. It’s not the Best but it’s been reliable for me

#

They sell a p or an e dongle with different chipsets

#

If your hass setup is centrally located that’s fine, if not you might prefer a PoE coordinator instead that you can more easily place in a central location

grim obsidian
#

I was thinking about that. My hass will be upstairs. not really a good place on my main floor. A poe option that I could put on my main floor would be great

grim igloo
#

Then I’d go with the tube cc2652p PoE dongle using z2m personally

#

If you want to use zha you can buy the efr32 version instead using the newer chipset

grim obsidian
#

I was just looking at that one.

grim igloo
#

That one works well with either zha or z2m

#

But usually people pick one and stick to it

grim obsidian
#

I think I get that one so it will be center of the house.

#

I'm looking a zha

#

seems like it's better integrated. I don't see moving off HA

grim igloo
#

Not quite a fair assessment but it’s ultimately user opinion

#

Bulbs aren’t gonna turn on faster with one or the other sans known firmware issues

grim obsidian
#

the take away I got was 'easier to install in HA' but both work just fine.

grim igloo
#

Yeah onboarding is definitely easier with zha and more sane

Hello everyone, I've been having a zigbee issue for a few weeks and I've finally pinpointed it to Home assistant restarts not getting contact sensor states at startup. I found somebody else with the same issue: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/contact-sensor-tuya-zemismart-ts0203-by-tz3000-6jeesvrt-started-showing-as-open-when-is-closed/591376
This happened a year ago with zigbee curtain states at startup and there was a wizard in this server that was able to help me identify the issue and issue a fix for the states reporting correctly at startup. I'm thinking we just need that same fix again. I have no idea who I talked to but I think I'm in the right place.

Hi everyone, I bought the NOUS L12Z and I got it to work with home assistant, however it's never closing or opening the blinds all the way. I've been googleing for the past 3 hours and I found out that apparently it's a white label of Tuya TS130f and there is some option to calibrate it? But I can't find out how I do that.
I found this website https://developer.smartthings.com/docs/edge-device-drivers/zigbee/generated/clusters/WindowCovering.html which shows calibration to be number 2 as window covering mode. I can actually see that in home assistant where I can read and write specific attributes (even with the correct he code 0x0017) but when I hit "read", it only gives back 4. No matter how often I try to write some different value into it.

(I'm using ZHA and not mqtt)

gilded kayak
# gilded kayak Hello everyone, I've been having a zigbee issue for a few weeks and I've finally...

I just realized this is happening with Zigbee motion sensors too. It's not grabbing the correct state on Home Assistant startup. I only noticed because I'm home alone, just rebooted and every motion sensor that HASN'T come into contact with me is saying there's motion. To recap, Zigbee contact sensors and motion sensors appear to be impacted by this HA reboot issue. I am on Home Assistant Yellow using built in Zigbee

rustic tapir
#

i need a little guidance:

i have set up a small test zigbee network using zigbee2mqtt and mosquitto (on guix). now, i have also installed HA. i have thought that i'll need zigbee2mqtt, and HA will talk to the devices through MQTT, but it looks like HA can directly handle the zigbee network.

what shall i do? should i recreate the network using HA, and forget about zigbee2mqtt and mosquitto?

grim igloo
#

It’s a personal choice

#

Both do the same thing but z2m has a gui dedicated to a lot of controls and uses mqtt. A lot of us here prefer z2m but zha simplifies onboarding and controls which some people prefer instead

#

If you're setting up Zigbee2MQTT then:

  1. Upgrade your CC2652 to the latest firmware
  2. Plug it into a USB extension cable
  3. Do not use the default network channel, key, and panID/extendedPanID
  4. Take the time now to find a good Zigbee channel (and where possible use a ZLL channel - one of 15, 20, or 25)
#

This is all done for you with zha but not z2m, so you should really change the options for #3 if you want to use z2m and have it setup securely

hardy crane
#

Well ZHA doesn't automagically materialise an extension cable 😛

rustic tapir
# grim igloo Both do the same thing but z2m has a gui dedicated to a lot of controls and uses...

thanks! it didn't help much to decide, though. z2m already works fine for me, and i'm using it to switch e.g. the watering system manually. i'm a programmer ready to patch stuff, write little scripts to do things for me, etc.

do you think i'll be better off long term if i use z2m, and connect HA to it for things like scheduling the watering? if yes, then am i right to assume that HA should leave alone anything zigbee, and only connect to mosquitto?

#

eventually, i'm considering replacing the control unit of my heating system, and adding zigbee based remote control to my alarm, i.e. i have a preferece for security, too.

grim igloo
#

There is no difference in how fast a light bulb turns on etc

#

The differences are more subtle like how you interact with the device (button presses on z2m vs events in zha)

#

And mqtt vs websocket

#

And it being separate from hass so if hass is down but machine running z2m isn’t, zigbee stuff still works

#

And device support usually coming to z2m first

#

But that line is blurred these days for most products

rustic tapir
#

but in z2m i cannot add smart stuff like scheduling the watering, or user scripts, right? and in HA (i think) i can, no?

grim igloo
#

Still you need to do the changes outlined in number 3 above before pairing all your devices

grim igloo
rustic tapir
#

#1 and #2 i have done. #3 i'm not sure about. i'm using a random key, but i'll need to read about the rest. same for #4.

grim igloo
#

It’s a known issue hopefully being resolved soon for new installs. Really needs to be addressed asap

rustic tapir
grim igloo
#

No you’re overthinking it

#

Hass automations, scripts, etc is all you need to interact with either devices on zha or z2m after setting up said integration in hass

#

Or use nodered alongside hass if you prefer that instead

#

hass interacts with z2m over mqtt or zha with websockets not you

rustic tapir
#

ok, that sounds like i'll be better off using z2m, and integrate that into hass.

rustic tapir
astral seal
#

the z2m devices will integrate with your Home Assistant device list via mqtt discovery, and you just do your automations in HA like normal, it's just the way that HA talks to the devices that's different.

grim igloo
#

And yes you need to generate them yourself it’s in the z2m docs

#

so anyone wanting to generate your own ext_pan_id for Zigbee2MQTT you can run this from your linux shell:

cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc '0-9A-D' | fold -w 16 | head -n 1 | sed -e 's/\(..\)/0x\1, /g'

just remove the trailing ,

#

They have a tool for pan id generation but not ext pan id so you can use that if you want

rustic tapir
#

ok, i'll read up on this then. thanks again for the guidance!

Direct, yeah... I didn't know that was a thing... I'll need to grab one, I think I have a few somewhere around here...

#

How long of an extension should it be?

#

GOT IT!! I found an old USB hub with maybe a 1 foot cord... moved it out, it just picked up the first sensor!

#

Now the question is... it added this first sensor as "lumi.weather"... how do I rename it so it makes more sense?

Good evening, I am new here and hope you can help me. I have connected the Sky Connect Stick in Home Assistant and then added several Sonoff relays via ZHA. This all works without any problems! Now my neighbor accidentally bought a bulb from Philips, which comes with Zigbee. However, he uses this normally with the light switch. The bulb is automatically in pairing mode as soon as the lamp is switched on, and my Home Assistant then automatically adds it to my Smart Home. Can I somehow turn off that ZHA does not automatically add new devices?

fair mountain
#

lol is there really no way to block IEEE's in ZHA?

#

I dont see one in device_config

molten linden
#

really no way to block a device from joining - all the block in z2m does is send a leave request. this happens to me with some sengleds at a neighbor.

fair mountain
#

at least he wouldnt have to continuely kick it from his network

#

right now it has his network keys i guess?

full sinew
#

I do not know what else I can do, just now the bulb was back in my Zigbee devices to find. I have now removed it again and so far it is gone. I suspect that if I restart the host a few times and some time passes, it will appear again.

fair mountain
full sinew
#

No, I could turn it on and off as well as change the color until I removed it.

fair mountain
#

Then it won't come back unless you have Permit Join set and its also powered on

#

If you remove it when it's online, then it should drop your network information

#

Is there any way to see what devices Are binded?

I have remote and a light that are both showing in the device listing, and they are also working, eg. the remote controls the light, but I can’t find any place that would indicate they are binded or connected in any other meaningful way for that matter

You can't use the USB port directly. How did you enable multi-PAN?

Or did you just install the addon manually?

The silicon labs multiprotocol addon?

tall tusk

oh system>Hardware>home assistant skyconnect > configure

i was hoping there was more configuration then turning multi on

austere patio
#

Yes. Did you enable that? It installs special firmware to your SkyConnect that replaces the original ZigBee firmware

tall tusk
#

yeah i did it

austere patio
#

Right. So your SkyConnect can't run without the addon also running, since the addon is what talks to it from now on. ZHA will then talk to the addon.

Looks fine to me, it looks like the firmware flashing was interrupted in the past and the SkyConnect was in its recovery bootloader

Switching to multi-pan with my skyconnect to use thread/matter has been pretty painful for my ZHA network. In all fairness, I was warned and expected this. Any new updates coming to multi-pan users? 😩 I could switch back to ZHA but I'll Give my current set up some more time maybe some more tweaks.

Hello, Can I get a Sonoff ZBDongle-P, flash the router firmware and plug it directly to a USB power block (5V/2A) to use it as repeater?

If yes, once I flash and power it up, will enter pairing mode so I can add it to my existing HA/ZBDongle-P?

Thanks in advance for any feedback

dire owl
#

Mainly devices dropping from the network,especially ones that are far in my shed. Which was never an issue with pre multipan. The ones that are in my home also experience this issue where they randomly come off the network. And sometimes they're on the network but they don't update or respond. Very Interminantant. I cannot even readd the ones in my shed anymore. They simply do not add to the network. They used to add no problem.

austere patio
#

You also mention "I had to changed my ZHA channel from 20 to 16.": is this before you switched to multi-PAN? Or after?

dire owl
#

I also have to change my ZHA channel to channel 16 so that I can align all my thread border routers to make one big thread network with 5 nest hubs and the skyconnect

austere patio
#

That's probably why you're having issues. You may want to change the multi-PAN channel back to 20. You can do this through the Hardware > SkyConnect > Configure > Configure multiprotocol support > Reconfigure.

#

It will take five minutes to initiate the channel change (Thread requires this), then both Zigbee and Thread will migrate simultaneously

dire owl
#

OK, I will have to change it back to 20. Does it matter that I combined my skyconnect to my Google thread devices?

austere patio
#

I believe Thread should handle the channel change better than Zigbee

dire owl
#

OK thanks I will have to change back. I guess it's fine if I have 2 thread networks.

austere patio
#

The SkyConnect should be managing your main Thread network so it will migrate all of your Google border routers too

#

So once you perform the migration, in theory nothing will be any different other than ZHA showing Channel: 20 and things working reliably again

dire owl
#

Really it'll migrate the google routers too?

#

That's amazing that's exactly what I need

#

OK I give this try and repart back later.

#

Thank you 😁

I opted for sky connect since it’s “official”

#

They're both Zigbee. ZHA is HA's default native Zigbee integration, z2m is just another way to interface with Zigbee devices. The adapters in that list should work with either, that's just the list a lot of people seem to prefer over the one in the HA documentation.

trail sky
astral seal
#

3.0 is the current Zigbee standard. Any dongle you get needs to be Zigbee 3.0.
Some versions of the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 dongles have issues and apparently if you order one from Amazon it's a tossup as to whether you'll get one of the fucky ones or one with an outdated chipset or whatever. That's probably what people were on about.

trail sky
#

Oh. I’m sorry about all the questions, I’m just really ignorant with that ZigBee issue.

If I just buy one, can I just connect it to my HA server, which’s just an old laptop with HAOS? or it needs to be on installed on an OS?

#

I think he was referring to usb 3 interference

You’ll pick a usb coordinator then connect it to a usb extender then connect that to the laptop

Hey,
I migrated from Conbee 2 to Sky Connect (ZHA). After waiting for 2 hours not a single device come back (50 devices).
I remove the philips hue bulb (the one without bluethooth) and put it back (this is the first bulb next to the coordinator) but nothing come back regardless of what I'm doing.
Sky Connect is show under System/hardware. But I can not see the name as device (maybe other name?)
Does anybody have an idea what I can do now?

It seems that it is still searching for conbee 2

how can i tell if the lightbulb is back to factory reset? the light is currently off

ah nvm I see you can specify it as an array in the UI. I will just do that to be safe. Thanks

Maybe try resetting once again?

ok so i paired it back wth the light swittch i got to turn it on and was able to now pair it with z2m, now i got to hope the light switch is wiling to pair easily 😄

Has anyone with the Sonoff Zigbee dongle, E version, had 100% success using the multiprotocol addon to control their Zigbee network?

Just set mine up and while most of the house is fine, I've got three or four lights (out of over 20) that are CONSTANTLY dropping off. Like less than an hour after power cycling they're down again.

Wondering if I need to let the network settle, or if there's possibly something wrong with the setup.

I'd been using the dongle (P version) before with straight Zigbee with no issues for a few months.

Newest HA, newest Silicon Labs Multiprotocol addon, newest firmware on the dongle.

#

Also, as a side question - I've flashed the coordinator firmware on the E version, and the router firmware on my old P version - it doesn't seem to recognize in the way that I'd expect it to in ZHA, but when I set the router-flashed Sonoff dongle and my HA Zigbee to pairing, it "rediscovers* my main network coordinator - this only happens when I'm adding the router.

Does that mean it's added properly, or is it just weird behavior?

austere patio
#

If so, your router has the same IEEE address as your coordinator: this will break things, IEEE addresses are expected to be 100% unique

warm fog
#

Yeah, the IEEE, do not know why I didn't connect those dots. Any way to change it on the old one?

austere patio
#

You'll have to re-join it to your network afterwards, since -e will wipe all network settings too

warm fog
#

Perfect, thanks so much. That 100% solves that problem. I was just kind of not sure where to start because some people were having issues getting it to bind in ZHA.

#

Sounds good, appreciate it.

austere patio
#

Also, did you migrate all devices one-by-one, or did you utilize the ZHA migration feature to copy network settings?

warm fog
#

One-by-one. I tried to copy network settings, realized it wasn't gonna work, then wiped the whole thing and started from scratch as I should've done to begin with.

#

Unfortunately I'd already copied the IEEE at that point.

austere patio
#

If you set ZHA up from scratch, multi-PAN will always pick channel 15 to form a network. If you set ZHA up in the past, it will have scanned for and picked an optimal channel

#

So your network issues could also be due to 15 being a bad channel

warm fog
#

Oh, I already messed with that - switched both to 25.

#

I might just let it settle in a few days. Maybe the network is still building and I'm being impatient.

austere patio
#

Things usually stabilize in an hour, much less time if you have no sensors

warm fog
#

I just wanted to make sure there was nothing inherently wrong with that multicast firmware/addon with the Sonoff-E dongle before I went further troubleshooting or waiting it out.

austere patio
#

There shouldn't be anything fundamentally wrong with it

#

It usually has better performance than the normal Zigbee firmware

warm fog
#

Yeah, that's what I'd heard. Hm. Well maybe I'll mess around with my network a bit. Once I get that extra dongle set up as a dedicated router maybe things will stabilize.

warm fog
weak totem
#

can you have zha and zigbee2mqtt both on at the same? because i thought i had to choose ignore zha when i did z2m but now i am not sure?

carmine hamlet
#

they can't both talk to the dongle - you need to pick one

astral seal
#

One or the other unless you're running two Zigbee networks with separate coordinators, and there's not usually a reason to be doing that.

weak totem
#

ok so when i clicked ignore integration when zha popped up, it was the correct action then

#

that popped up when my dongle got detected

hmmm, back when the quirk was being worked on, myself and other contacted them and they claimed they had a new module that would fix the inverted thing. they actually sent me 2 modules, but they are exactly the same as the one I had in my blinds. - so wonder if you got a newer version

#

the quirk inverts the commands, and fixes the battery (if my memory is correct). you could try temporarily removing the quirk to see if it makes them behave... that will create another issue if they do.... but worth a shot. feel free to dm me can walk you through removing the quirk (just renaming the .py file in the quirk folder inside you ha environment) - it's not super straight forward.

Hi

#

I've connected my cc2531 stick to zigbee2mqtt previously and now i cant connect it to zha what can i do?

burnt pecan
#

I'm trying to move from DeConz to ZHA. I believe I've nuked Deconz completely. Uninstalled the add-on and integration. Trying to set up ZHA but seems to be failing. I'm adding the Conbee2 USB stick via "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-..." - Logs don't appear to be showing me anything. Not really sure if ZHA is able to talk to the USB stick in the first place. I did do a firmware update and factory reset. I'm assuming that was successful.

i've got the aqara vibration sensor, and it's started being a bit finicky lately. ive it on my dishwasher and it used to work fine, but now it's not seeing it as vibrating

#

i've got the"vibration strength" zha event showing as 47ish

idk if that event is related to whether the sensor is considered "detected" or not

#

or right now i got a vibration strength of 73, but the sensor is still considered "off"

One big nuisance I run into when switching from ZHA to Zigbee2MQTT is that the power meter part of my Sengled smart plugs stops showing up on the default dashboard. ZHA registers the sensors as sensors, but Z2M registers them as diagnostic sensors, which don't appear on the dashboard. Is there any way to fix that, without having to fully manually customize the whole dang dashboard?

tardy zinc

They show up on the device page fine, but they don't appear on the dashboard, unlike with ZHA.

#

For some reason, Z2M seems to report the power usage as if it's a diagnostic sensor that can't be unhidden, instead of as a useful sensor that should be shown by default.

#

I think your issue is because you’re using the ‘stock’ dashboard setup where it auto populates shit

tardy zinc

It's been fine for everything so far. Except for Z2M which thinks it knows better.

Fully customizing a dashboard from scratch seems like it'll be tedious as heck.

Hi, this is my first message here so sorry if it is not properly formed. I am using ZHA with some battery powered devices and I am facing the problem that the communication from device to ZHA works as expected but communication from ZHA to device fails.

Usually this happen when I try to set some device options (motion sensor sensitivity etc.)

#

How can I do that? I have tried to activate the motion sensor by “waving” on it before sending. Do you mean this? To me it looks like there is to short timeout there.

#

I would expect the home assistant to try to send the command for 10mins not fail after 30s-1m

ashen bluff
#

Either that or short press one of its buttons. Every other second or so to keep it awake

buoyant nova
#

I can try it with button. But anyway this seams to be strange behavior is it possible that I have setup something in ZHA incorrectly?

Can send a link later if I don’t forget, but check out the zigbee-herdsman-converters repo and then devices/tuya

Find your mode of sensor and you’ll probably see some tz/fz functions. Those reference functions in toZigbee and fromZigbee.
The mappings for the attributes are probably found there

Every time I update HA (tend to do z2m at the same time) all my zigbee switches (more than one brand) need a button press before they spring in to action.
Is that a common thing? Misconfig? Anything I can do?

doesn't happen to me on zigbee2mqtt

meanwhile I tried to replace the battery of an aquara wireless switch but it doesn't do anything when I press the button, if I reset it by holding it for 10 seconds it toggles EVERY SINGLE toggleable zigbee device in the house...

It's just toggling the switch

I modified it to 5 seconds and it works, but the problem is that I have to change it every time I update Home Assistant"

I want to change another file cuz that line is moved to the other file

Thats what I know

Btw can you please ping me when you want to help

One of them did this during initial pairing from memory. Doing the zigbee pairing dance it eventually turned into a normal pair of buttons though. But yeah, one of them started doing the same with no changes a couple of days ago

I’m afraid I was just adding my same “interesting” anecdote, it’s a bit strange and worrying! My switch is in a room that’s rarely used and I haven’t got round to sorting it. I’m going to do exactly that.

This won't do anything useful unless you perform the hardware mod

mighty river
#

What is the hardware mod?

The thing you linked to

#

You have to open the sensor and solder a pad to ground

IMO it's simpler to buy the newer P1 model of sensor

mighty river

It will only work if the model is lumi.sensor_motion.aq2

Not sure if this is the right channel… I’d like to be able to make my own zigbee device…. I’d like to be able to integrate an arduino with HA and I’d like to be a battery powered device. Part control board, part sensor pack… are there any good tutorials out there that might help pick a good board, some code examples, etc…?

#

TI zigee stack is another with CC1352R modules

rapid thistle
#

Nice, thanks everyone... I'm going to start checking into as soon as I can!

#

So what I'm really trying to do here is design a control board. I have a great water distiller, but the analog controls on it are crap. No way to set temp, no way to sense when it's done other than a manual themostatic switch, that when it gets too hot, it shuts off the unit... and they keep breaking...

So my goal was to use an arduino, integrate some temp probes, a current and voltage sensor to compute wattage, an LCD screen and a single knob rotary encoder to push to start and stop the unit, also be able to scroll to set settings like a timer, power limits, etc... and also relay all its stats, temp, power, weight, runtime, etc... all over to HA to be cataloged and controlled, and also generate notifications when the unit is done.

# austere patio You may find ESPHome to be a much more developer-friendly experience

The only problem I had thought about with that was the power a lot of those devices take... being wifi, I was afraid making them battery powered would be a big hassle of the size of the device with a bunch of 18650s strapped on it would be huge. I was looking to make something much smaller... thin really to... maybe just 1"x3" or something... rotary encoder, small oled display screen (could swap for e-ink), and maybe a small button or two.

austere patio
#

Can you tap into the power input of the water distiller?

rapid thistle
#

Oh sure, for that one it would be easy... I found some 700mv 5v DC transformers that will take like 80 - 240v AC and that should be more than enough... I'm just also thinking about another projects as well, like low cost thermostats, control panels, remotes for accent lighting in a room to quickly customize it... all would be customer controllers...

#

I have a think... I love home automation, there's a intense amount here in a small condo, but I like to maintain physical controls for whem someone else is staying here and I don't want to give them access to HA or ask them to install something on their phone.

Hey guys and girls... got a question that the mighty lord google wasnt able to answer...
i got a zigbee switch from ali, (https://tinyurl.com/mrm7py98) where i hooked up my 3D Printer. The printer got a USB Port for power only, where i hooked up an LED strip. With the switch turned off, but printer main switch on, i get short light pulses from that LED Strip every 10-15 minutes. With the Zigbee switch on, but main switch of the printer off, i dont get these pulses...
So the question is: can switches pulse energy even when they are turned off?

violet dagger
#

No, they shouldn't since the relay breaks the circuit completely

red ermine
#

and it has to be some sort of power leakage from the switch, since it doesnt happen with the printer switched off. Cause that was another thought: maybe a capacitor gives off power after the printer is switched off... but even after an hour directly plugged to the wall nothing happened...

#

its weird...

#

i have lots of these switches, and never noticed something like that on any other device

violet dagger
#

Do you have anything else connected to the printer?

red ermine
violet dagger
#

Try flipping the plug, that will switch the live and neutral

red ermine
#

might be a dumb question, but shouldn't that play any role at all on AC Power?
but will give it a try

#

Considering your weird case it could

#

If neutral is the switched one the printer PSU can create a power leech similar to no neutral switches

Hi there Home assistant gods 😉
I have bought the skyconnect and it was auto detected if i remeber correctly. Well time pass by and i have no zigbee devices until today. However now i see it is failing. So i deleted the integration and i am trying agian to add it with zigbee home automation integration. It does not get detected or give me any options. I tried to select the correct dongle and i am asked for Device serial path. i tried some off the standards i found while searhing web. This is in docker. Do i need to do something sepcial if i have had it integrated once i think, and then deleted it ?
This is HA on docker
It is pathtorugh succesfully. Any suggestions are much appriciated

austere patio
#

If you didn't enable multi-PAN for Thread, don't do it now 😄. It won't help if communication with your SkyConnect doesn't work.

#

If your stick isn't being detected after you select the correct serial port, that means that the serial connection to the device isn't working

#

So I would triple check passthrough

Thank you for the suggestion i will fiddel alitle with the usb and see if something happens, both physically change usb port on the server and reintegrate in docker. Maby this is more a docker / usb issue then zigbee.

Hello Guys, i have a problem with my HA. I´m running it on a RaspberryPi4 4GB and I have a pretty detached place so there is no way to use other devices as mesh point. But I wanna install some ZigBee devices thereas well. But I´m thinking of how could I do that? So I know I need a Coordinator or Router or something, is it possible that I can share the same ZigBee Network there? I don´t mind if its an Bridge of any brand as long it is possible to control that thru my HA instance and offline. And it has to be with an LAN Device, cause I got no WiFi there only cables running
