All depends on spectrum usage, there is no 1 answer. I used an app to figure out which WiFi channels were in use around my house

#

Then chose a zigbee channel with least amount of overlap

#

They do now. Seems like after months of no communication they’ve released SM323v2 which has basic energy monitoring too. Z2M doesn’t have that but yet but I’m trying to figure out how.

Interesting. Out of curiosity, why is this?

ouch.

sour shadow
#

Many people don't have problems, but maybe you'll get the faulty NVRAM causing the stick to stop working, and maybe you'll get hit by the silent lockup bug

#

Maybe you'll get both 😄

leaden spear
#

sounds like a lottery! None of those two here. yet.

sour shadow
#

The lockup bug is more likely with more devices, and more commands being sent to devices

Be aware that Zigbee and WiFi channel numbers don't correspond (i.e. Zigbee 11 and WiFi 11 are completely different channels): https://img.community.ui.com/5f743aa0-9c43-44fb-8889-afd9eccba833/comments/d1ae2c9e-9162-47e2-abcc-12e54862b200/82ccb020-c270-45fc-995c-f837ada4f9c3

Move your WiFi networks onto channels 1, 6, or 11 and then pick the quietest Zigbee channel. It will be one of 15, 20, or 25. ZHA automatically does this when you form a new network, or if you manually change the channel and pick auto.

My experience is that the Sonoff 3.0 dongle is the most consistently reliable one so YMMV!

@finite mantle Looking for advice about a device to buy? Remember to provide guidance on:

  • Which country you're in
  • What your budget is
  • What protocols you prefer (eg Zigbee, WiFi, Z-Wave)
  • Any features you want (such as power monitoring, dimming, etc)

rapid dawnBOT
#

@coarse radish Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?

Hello guys, I have a quick question regarding the "lqi" entities on HA, I'm using Z2M at the moment but I still expose all the lqi entities to HA in order to monitor them with ease on my dashboard but I was thinking that maybe disabling them will somehow decrease the traffic on my network?

Am I wrong?

sour shadow
#

You're wrong 😉

#

All that info is still transferred over Zigbee, Z2M knows nothing about what you did do the HA entities

clever cedar
#

So even disabling entities the info will be transferred over zigbee, got it. Just thinking out loud as I'm cursed with concrete walls. Thanks!

#

for now just 6/58 Devices I have are below 50 lqi

#

5 of my 90 are below 50, one sits around 10 most of the time, sometimes low single digits

Hi all. Is it normal that end device isn't visible although it's 3 meters far from the router and only thing separating them is window? If I bring the ED inside (just move 15 cm closer) it is visible

#

Is it joined to your network already and you move it around, or do you mean that you cannot join it? If you're using ZHA, can you upload diagnostics JSON for the integration and post a link?

Hi. Having a zha issue here, would love any tips: a chunk of my zigbee network has diseappared for a few days now, surviving reboots, etc. It is a certain area of the house, so I assumed it was a path failure, but now I don't think so. I checked the visualization, and it still thinks those devices have multiple distinct paths, including directly from the coordinator, even though it sees them as offline. I also added in a new zigbee router right in the gap between the coordinator and the disconnected portion. It added fine and can be controlled, but the visualization (refreshed) shows that device with no links, even though it functions. It seems like something else is going on. Any suggestions? Happy to log things, etc. if it would help debug. Thanks!

mellow geode
#

Ignore visualization. It's not live and if parts of your network are offline, "lines" might not disappear for those.

#

With which devices do you have issues? End-devices or routers? Is your stick on an extension cable to reduce interference?

formal pasture
#

Having trouble with both; at least two routers (mains light switches, also the closest devices to the coordinator/rest of network), as well as some sensors, a lock, etc. that go through those. Probably a couple things I'm forgetting. And it's everything in that area.

#

And stick is on an extension. (Well, sort of; it's on an unpowered hub on a cable.) But it's been stable for years, and there are a good number of routers so the mesh is pretty robust.

#

I was thinking that if reception was the issue, the router I added should fix it. Is there anything I should do to make the missing nodes pick up the new, closer router? Though it would surprise me if after years of working the reception to both routers (very close to each other) would fail simultaneously.

#

Just did a quick check: there's a third router (outlet switch) and a few more sensors (temp/humidity, door open).

#

BTW, reconfiguring the new router I added (it's a plug-in outlet) fails. But it still appears to operate fine.

I encountered this error when installing Mqtt for zigbee

I guess technically I cut the plug-in outlet's power too.

Huh, what manufacturer/model are they?

#

Jasco 43090.

#

(aka Embrighten, etc.)

#

They've actually been solid until this; I had the equivalent z-wave switches in there previously and the reception was unreliable/borderline even with roughly the same distance to a node in the main area. A couple of years ago I dropped these in as replacements and this has been the first hiccup.

can anyone help me with the setup of the zigbee 3.0 usb dongle plus efr32mg21? Or link me a video or guide. thanks

For ZHA, or Zigbee2MQTT?

Mostly it's plug it in (to a USB extension cable) and follow the docs

So, you probably want to use ZHA

Plug the stick in, to a USB extension cable, and it should be auto-detected in the integrations menu

Is anywhere a good ressource to make quirks?

I have a Paulmann smart switch with zigbee. I paired it with ZHA and i see in the logs the button press, but there is no entity for any of the dimmer functions or on off functions.

So i figured i probably need something people call quirks, but i haven't found a good ressource to read up on it and how to make one for a zigbee device. Can someone link a ressource so i can read up on it and learn it?

# sour shadow <https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha#how-to-add-support-for-new-and-u...

i found this ticket/s which exactly have my problem and seem to have solved it.
https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/2662
But i do not really understand the ticket of what has been done or what i shall do from the ticket to solve it. I see that my zigbee device is also
"Paulmann Licht GmbH" and 501.34
Where as the integration that is linked has a different string "Paulmann LichtGmbH"
Does that cause the issue or is all of that just in implementation stage and future zha updates will receive it, or how do i read the situation correctly

sour shadow
#

Well... I don't use ZHA, but that was closed 47 minutes ago

#

47 minutes ago

#

There's not a snowballs chance in hell that's been merged into any version of HA yet 😉

#

Of course, if your device doesn't match that quirk then clearly the quirk won't apply to it

rapid reef
#

i mean i see that someone commented it in the ticket that the listed device name is ambigious, with the correct name that i see also with mine.

Stupido question from my part, how long does the merge back to release cycle usually take in HA?

sour shadow
#

Well, step #1 is a release of zigpy... however long that takes

#

Then it needs to be added to the next HA beta

#

So, if zigpy drop a release right now then the earliest it'd be included would be 2023.11

rapid reef
#

would that be part of a zha update or would that be os part or core part?

sour shadow
#

Core

#

ZHA is part of Core after all

rapid reef
#

ah understood

#

thanks for your explanation

sour shadow
#

You'll probably have to run with a local, modified version, of that quirk until it's part of HA

rapid reef
#

I mean i freshly bought my apartment and making smart, i can do other things in the evenings than do wiring of switches and what not at least for the coming weeks 😄 so i can sit it atleast a bit out. Other renovations need to be done as well

Seems that paulmann dimmer is a known working device, there's just a bug due to an extra space in the device name.

Well, that guide isn't official, it's built by a few other users, so while probably a device there that's said to work on ZHA will work, not being there tells you nothing (and it's been wrong before about devices being supported)

Z2M manages it 😛

(and yes, devices have turned up on that site based purely on somebody thinking it'll work, not having tested it)

OK .. then what do you suggest as source for known HA compatible devices? Ouija board?

sour shadow

For ZHA... ask here

#

That also means you don't buy supported but junk (Tuya, many Sonoff, etc)

Sonoff is junk? i mean the sonoff zigbee stick is literally listed as the suggested zigbee stick for HA under zigbee integrations D:

The Sonoff P stick has known hardware issues, the E is fine

Sadly no, blame the Discord devs

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

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

However, shift+click works

easier to just not reply to people imo. depending on the amount of people talking it's pretty easy to follow along without the reply arrows or w/e

Hey all, I'm having a few issues with my Zigbee devices where some seem to not respond, and I often have to push a button 4-5 times to get every device to, for example, turn off correctly. Some quick details

  • I'm using Z2MQTT, a deConz USB stick (connected via a USB extender, a little over a meter from my server/AP)
  • I have 21 Zigbee devices currently. Most are Hue light bulbs, as well as 2 hue wall switches, and a door sensor.
  • My entire apartment is only 650sqft, so it's a very small area

Problem I'm having is I'll push the "Off" button on the Hue Switch, which is set to turn off every light in my kitchen and living room. But almost every time 1-2 bulbs stay on, and I need to keep pushing the button over and over until they all turn off.

Any idea in what I can do to troubleshoot?

sour shadow
#

Did you pick the Zigbee channel when you set Z2M up?

#

Did you check for WiFi on the channel Z2M is using (see the pins)

winged coyote
#

So Zigbee is set to channel 11. I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to set the wifi channel though, I'll look through the pins

Channel 11 is almost always a bad choice

If you live in an apartment it's likely you're surrounded by a storm of Wi-Fi from neighbors, and may not be able to find a Zigbee channel that's not being interfered with. You should consider trying Z-Wave devices as they operate in the 800-900 MHz range where there is not as much RF traffic. You can get free download of a Wi-Fi scanner for your phone that will give you an idea of how many APs are near you and what the Wi-Fi channel load looks like.

# sour shadow Channel 11 is almost always a bad choice

Sigh. I recently rebuilt my whole zigbee network (~150 devices) to move away from channel 15 and switch to Z2M. I thought I had correctly set up the conf to use 25 but only realized later that it somehow picked 11 instead (and was yelling that the conf didn't match). So now I'm on 11. It's better than 15. But I know in my heart of hearts I gotta move to 25 to get things to great. I'm not looking forward to the migration though lol

# winged coyote Hey all, I'm having a few issues with my Zigbee devices where some seem to not r...

OK so an update on this. I just repaired everything to channel 25, and I'm still having the same issue 😦

I have an automation on this Hue switch to turn on the kitchen/lving room when I push the on button, and turn off everything when I push the off button.

  • The On button seems to pretty reliably turn on everything except for one Hue bloom
  • The off button turns off everything but 1 or 2 bulbs, though the exact bulbs it doesn't turn off varies

#

If you have many lights, you can also try to create a light group from within Z2M. It's different than from creating a light group inside HA, because a "Zigbee light group" only sends the on/off commands once to the network. All lights get it (which can cause issues on its own). Those which are part of the group it's addressed to then execute it, others ignore it. This might work better for you.

Oh nice, OK thanks! Maybe I'll just get a new coordinator then, might save me trouble in the long run

If i have a zigbee device, data is correct, but it says unk_model / unk_manufacturer, how do i supply this info?

It shouldn't say that. Pairing probably didn't complete. Can you remove the device and try again?

I’d try to re-pair that device. I’ve never seen a device that doesn’t support those attributes

That's what I thought so I paired it multiple times and it reported that the interview was complete. Its using an older cc2531 chip (I looked up the device info on the FCC site) but it has strong reliable signal it reports in about every 0.9 degree F delta. It has 1800 mAh rechargeable battery. It will be interesting to see how long the battery lasts. So far it looks like nice device. Too bad it isn't sold as Zigbee device for general use.

# winged coyote I actually recently swapped to Unifi (just trying to learn it all) so I can chec...

I live in neighborhood with lots that average 10,000 square feet and this below is what the 2.4Ghz looks like. So unless you live in an area with real large lots or your neighbors are technical Neanderthals, your low power Zigbee devices will always be fighting for 2.54 GHz breathing space. Note also that most modern Wi-Fi routers change channels automatically looking for the channel with the least traffic. So a less used channel and one point in time will be used at another time. Use Zigbee 25 for best results.

# azure sonnet which contains this line: https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/mast...

We‘re aware. There should also be an issue on the zha-device-handlers repo for this.
I think deCONZ (and Z2M?) just removed doubling completely regardless of firmware version, but that’s not ideal, as not everyone updates their devices.
We can’t yet match quirks per version though.

Since the batter voltage should be reported the same between versions, I thought about just mapping that to the percentage. We‘d have to find out how exactly the IKEA devices map that to percentage though.
Not sure if that’s the best approach.

azure sonnet
#

I don't know much about zigbee devices, but in most other systems batteries often report their own max values, but I guess zigbee is too lightweight to be able to do that

#

For what it's worth, I have a two button remote from ikea which behaves in a similar manner

I.e. Battery is shown as > 100%

Every time I try (via the panel and/or script) I get the following 'Failed to call service number/set_value. Failed to send request: Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.

Thanks for that - I've rechecked and there certainly doesn't seem to be an option for poll control/clustering (that I can find easily) on these sensors - I suspect as busywait said they've done everything they can to extend battery life (and based on that I've turned the sensor light off too now - which also required multiple presses of the button : )

zenith mist
#

Nope, I'm using the Sonoff Dongle-E

austere patio
#

Which coordinator did you migrate from? Or did you set your network up entirely with multi-PAN?

zenith mist
#

There was the option to enable Thread to if I remember correctly. I set it up like that, no migration.

austere patio
#

That would be available only for the SkyConnect, for the -E dongle you would need to manually install and configure the addons and firmware. I would migrate away from multi-PAN and first see if the issue is present with the normal Zigbee firmware.

zenith mist
#

Hmm, right now I remember. I flashed the E-dongle with the, I guess Multi-Pan. In case I use Thread in the future.

austere patio
#

After you do migrate back to Zigbee firmware, can you regenerate and upload the same diagnostics?

zenith mist
#

Sure, but that will be tomorrow. Kinda late for that here now. I guess I have to reconnect all devices after that?

Of all the 38 Zigbee devices I have, there is only one I regret buying (Aqara cube remote, too fiddly to use). Two ikea bulbs also frustrated me for a while, I had set them to transition on over a couple of seconds, but they don’t switch on until at 30% brightness, so it appeared there was a delay in them coming on.

Hi. I have the Candeo Smart dimmer (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/HK-DIM-A.html), and Z2M has informed me about firmware updates.

I updated one of my dimmers, which worked, but removed the device from the network afterwards. I just re-paired the device to my network and it's all good again. Nothing in the firmware version sections had changed afterwards, but it did get rid of the annoying update available message in HA.

I then proceeded to try the update on another. The same thing happened where the device was removed from the network at the end. This time though, I'm not able to re-pair the device back onto the network, even after factory resets of the dimmer. I am able to pair other devices however, so I think the update has broken the dimmer.

Is there anything else I can try to get it to work?

hey guys, i've heard about groups in HA and zigbee groups - is there much of a difference between them? i want to have a door sensor on the garage door and another one on the garage->house door, and an automation to turn on the garage light when either door is opened

i was thinking of making a group in HA for the garage door sensors but is making a zigbee group better? if so, why?

mellow geode
#

Zigbee groups are for controlling a group of Zigbee devices. Those two door sensors send messages to HA, so you can't really put them in a Zigbee group.
Just create a HA group for that purpose (or use multiple triggers in the automation).

ah perfect, that's easy enough then! thanks!

I was listening to the Self Hosted podcast, an episode from late 2022, and the host kept saying Zigbee was a part of Matter. Is there anything to that?

Kind of. The Matter standard is somewhat based on the Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL). So, which commands and attributes there are and so on

Can Anyone recommend a more consistent setup for ZIGBEE2MQTT - HA? I have a few AQARA sensors - motion / door-contact sensors and they seem to be more asleep - than working.

Hi, I think about moving all hue devices from philips hue bridge to zha since I already have a conbee stick installed and dont like to have another device (bridge). I already added a switch and a bulb from one room for testing. What makes me wondering: Do I really need to add an automation, for every button, every room and every switch ect.? For example hue dimming switch (4 buttons) I need to create an automation for:
-switch on
-switch off
-brightness up
-brightness down
-ect.
This would end up in tons of automations for a whole house. So I wanted to know, if there is an easier way to controll the lights?

mellow geode
#

You can use trigger ids, so put all four triggers in one automation and assign each of them a trigger. Then, use a choose for checking the trigger id in the automation part

#

Or just use a blueprint if you find one

Or write your own blueprint

Since I can't seem to troubleshoot why my TRV isn't receiving any messages, I want to remove and add it again. It's in z2m. If I rename it exactly the same as before after force removing it, all automations, etc. should work the same right? Or will HA give it a new (eg _02) name?

hey guys! Which zigbee modules do you recommend for light switch? Variably in Europe.
I'm checking out Aqara SSM-U01 as per @sour shadow recommendation, but would like to see other options. Also would these allow to dim the lights, or does that need to be a different module? Does it have mesh?

sour shadow
#

You want dimmers then, not switches

#

And what does have mesh mean?

wheat umbra
#

Do dimmers work with normal lightbubs?
I've read zigbee all work in a mesh network, but not all zigbee work as a "repeater" or support this

sour shadow
#

Well, if the bulbs can be dimmed, yes

#

Depends on what you mean by "normal"

#

Old school incandescent then yes, those can be dimmed. CFL mostly no. LEDs vary widely. Smart bulbs not at all (other than by using the smart features)

#

As for routers (what "repeaters" are called) then any mains powered device s a outer other than two-wire switches/dimmers, Sengled bulbs, and most things USB powered

# zenith mist Sure, but that will be tomorrow. Kinda late for that here now. I guess I have to...

So I reflashed the device but I cannot connect it to ZHA anymore, it always said "failed connection". Tried another firmware still the same error.
I flashed it with the pip universal-silabs-flasher since the webflasher never could connect to the dongle for some reason.
Also the window after migrating the radio just disappeared, so I guess I can't swap over my devices anymore if I ever get the stick working again.
Any ideas here?

austere patio
#

Did you also uninstall the multiprotocol addon? It will keep trying to communicate with the radio the moment you plug it back in, which will prevent ZHA from communicating with the stick

#

You can always re-run the migration by clicking the same migration button but instead clicking "re-configure current radio", since you have just one, even if the integration fails to load

Can you post the entire flashing debug log? If you/some other process interrupted the firmware update and your stick doesn't have valid firmware, you may need to manually enter the bootloader. Change flash to flash --sonoff-reset and see what happens.

That looks better, now it detects the bootloader version, which it didn't before.

Hi ! I'm trying to make some changes to monitor apparent Volt-Amps power (S=U*I) with a template to compare with my electrical provider meter values.
I use ZHA with a Sonoff Z Dongle (SoC EFR32MG21) and many plugs (TS011F by _TZ3000_ynmowqk2, Lidl Silvercrest HG08673-FR) which report datas: rms voltage (V), rms current (A), consumption (kWh), active power (W), but no power factor nor reactive power. All values are correct except for RMS current. The plugs have theses 3 ID's about it on 0x0b04 endpoint: 0x0508" for rms_current, 0x0603 for ac_current_divisor, 0x0602 for ac_current_multiplier.

I should have for this example value 20 on 0x0508, 1000 on 0x0603, 1 on 0x0602. So 20/1000 = 0.02 A. But the RMS current Entity shows 0.0 A. Changing the precision doesn't help (shows 0.00, 0.000, etc...). Seems to be rounded to 1 decimal.

How can i get the most accurate value with 2 decimals? Should I create a custom quirk (if so, how) ?
Other question for other needs, is there a way to set a custom value refresh rate (currently 30sec, i'd like to set critical devices to 5 or 10) ?
Which TRV valves with PID do you recommend ?

But it does this thing where it drops out of the network randomly until you press the button on it again

I thought I heard somewhere about changing the delay between reads to something higher than 60 seconds fixes that and causes it to not sleep like that

#

But I don't know how to do that

#

All docs I can find for the delay are for other things like zigbee2mqtt, which is a whole different thing

#

If I can change the delay and get it to not drop off the network like that, we'll be in business

#

Option 2 is: Does anyone have recommendations for a sensor I can hook up that does a better job than this?

This is a bit of a noobie question, but I couldn't figure it out by myself. I have some zigbee light switches and some zigbee buttons. Initially, I was planning to create scenes and automations in node red (using zigbee2mqtt) for them. However, it occurred to me that this would mean that the zigbee devices aren't actually talking to each other, but to HA. Is that kind of setup possible? Like, make a zigbee device remember that "x button press" -> "send x command to a specific zigbee device"?

#

I guess, I'm asking because I don't want to spend a few hours setting everything up in node-red and then figure out there's a better way of doing it 😅

austere patio
#

Only in a very rudimentary way. If the device sends an "on" command on button press, you can bind it to another device or to a group that will receive the "on" command. But you lose the ability to make the automations smart (e.g. time of day changes how things work) or work in instances where two devices can't directly communicate (e.g. button turns on heat).

burnt stratus
#

But you lose the ability to make the automations smart

Is it possible to have a combination of the two? Like for example, have the basic "light switch turns on light" stuff that way, and add more complex logic (like, "motion sensor + timer -> if I've been out of the room for more than 10 mins then turn off the lights") via node red?

#

Also, where would I even go about setting this "simple" zigbee to zigbee logic? (It's enough if you just tell me what to google to find it 😅 I've been poking around in HA but haven't really found such an option...for reference I'm using zigbee2mqtt to connect my devices)

hi. How do I migrate from zha to z2m, preserving all the entities?

#

and history

sour shadow
#

Carefully

#

(and mostly you can't)

#
  1. Make a note of every entity_id (you can't do this for devices)
  2. When you re-pair everything to Z2M rename the entities, where they exist, to match with the old one

I'm trying to determine a good way to get near real time positional tracking to help "smarten" a ceiling mounted tilt/rotate TV mount. The mount lifts the TV parallel with the ceiling and lowers it to around a 70 degree angle off the ceiling. It can rotate in a 180 degree arc. Ideally I'd like to know when it's raised, when it's not raised, and when down, what direction it is facing. (Knowing whether it is facing one of the two extremes is fine 0 degrees or 180 degrees)

#

I tried an aqara vibration sensor, but the tilt tracking seems to be pretty much crap

#

I also tried to get the facing direction using a couple of zigbee contact sensors, but they also weren't very reliable. I could replace those with 345mhz door sensors, which have been very reliable for me but was wondering what other options might be out there

I was referred over here by #hardware-archived: I recently received my SkyConnect batch 7 from AmeriDroid and it seems to be identifying itself as a generic CP2102N serial device. Flashing updated firmware and setting up Zigbee works fine, but I'm missing out on the easy integrations and HA management features of it being a SkyConnect device. Any hints on how to get the device to correctly identify itself as a SkyConnect_v1.0?

hi everyone. what's the difference between the Z2M Configuration tab in the addon, and the /config/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml? As they are not the same. And I'm confused when to use one or the other.

sour shadow
#

Use the add-on UI to manage it

glass kite
#

that's the thing. I want to transform a switch to a light, and I was required to use /config/zigbee2mqtt/devices.yaml

#

my change in the addon UI did not do the transformation from switch to light.

sour shadow
#

Z2M has to restart for YAML changes to take effect

glass kite
#

I restarted Z2M, did not work. I even restarted the RPI4 as well.

sour shadow
#

(plus some files may be re-written on shutdown of Z2M)

glass kite
#

the thing is, what's in the UI config, it's not the same in the /config/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml

#

they look like 2 different files, and I've no idea where the UI config is even stored.

sour shadow
#

The add-on does odd stuff, it makes no sense to me

One question regarding zigpy and zha-device-handlers: Afaik you need the quirks if a device does not follow the official Zigbee specifaction, which is the case a lot of Tuya and Xiaomi devices obviously. I have a Bosch Thermostat 2 here though and many endpoints are not recognized by ZHA. There is the thermostat, but many more things are missing: Most importantly the local temperature calibration and the temperature unit (metric/imperial) settings. Bosch seems to follow the Zigbee specification though. I have looked it up.

So why are these endpoints not recognized by ZHA? They shouldn't require a quirk, should they?

#

I would write a quirk if that is necessary, but I first want to make sure that I am on the right track

i have hama thermostats connected via z2m to HA, in z2m i can set these thermostats to "auto" mode, is there a way to change the way these thermostats act in auto mode or even see what the automode does and when? or is that "hardcoded" into the thermostat or only accessable via the original app? guess some other thermostats have the same mode

Hi everyone, i have some doubts about the zigbee protocol.
I know that alexa can control local devices using zigbee such as philips hue, for this reason there exists an integration that emulates the hue in the network and lets alexa control entities locally. But how does this work? zigbee doesn't operate over wifi, and my x86 pc where i installed HAOS surelly doesn't have a zigbee module.
Is there some balck magic thing i don't know or did i misunderstood the setup?

sour shadow
#

Well, how did you connect those Zigbee devices? Hue hub?

#

Alexa talks to whatever it is that manages those Zigbee devices, it doesn't need to know anything about how they're connected, just that the Hub has X lights with features Y and Z, W switches, etc. Same goes for Home Assistant when it comes to the Hue hub

abstract spruce
#

well i don't acutally own any zigbee devices, i was talking about the home assistant integration emulated_hue.
So you are telling that emulated_hue doesn't emulate acual devices, but rather emulates the central hub and alexa communicates localy with the emulated hub?

#

i thought that alexa acted as a hub and communicated with the devices which were emulated by emulated_hue

#

yea now it makes sense if it's an emulated hub it talks to alexa via http locally sure

sour shadow
#

Emulated hue is just a bit of software lying to Alexa

abstract spruce
#

yea sure, i thought it lied to alexa acting as a zigbee device, not as a hub for zigbee devices

astral seal
#

Yeah it's the second thing. No Hue or Zigbee is necessarily involved. It's basically a way to link devices to Alexa or Google Assistant without having to make any other major configuration changes or set up https or whatever.

hello! I am in the proces of recreating a zigbee setup after migrating from deconz to ZHA. I have issues with two ikea trädfri on/off buttons. they were found by ZHA, but when I try to bind them with a bulb, the green check that confirms binding is active stays only for a few seconds and then disappear. I thought I might remove the buttons from the list of integrated devices before readding them, but could not figure out how to do it

The topic of this channel is:

Zigbee :bee: - please remember to mention whether you're using zha (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha), zigbee2mqtt (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io), or deCONZ (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/deconz). If you're using some hub, we probably can't help you though - try the #integrations-archived channel instead.

Well. Still fighting with my transfer from deconz to ZHA with raspbee II . I probably did not chose the best way. I simply diasbled deconz and then installed ZHA. Now I realized that the devices that were "transfered" were marked as attached to both. So I started to factory-reset them one by one and add them again to ZHA. Seems to work fine BUT, seems the raspbee is also Registered in both: when I select devices /raspbee II / device info , I see both deconz and ZHA. I am not super keen of removing the raspbee device the same way I removed the rest... but maybe I should do it ?

When adding my own external converter file its seems like it defaults to the one already exisiting in github..

How can i force it to use my own external file so that i can test the driver before committing the code to github??

I have added the external converter in z2m configuration tab

Is there any good way to turn traditional wall switches into "smart" ones, but in a way that they do not turn off the power for the bulbs (because the lamp itself has zigbee color bulbs)? It looks like zigbee relays will switch power to the lamp off… which would then make them offline.

I think the new Hue switches do exactly what you're looking for. It connects inline and handles the switching while keeping the line powered. Only drawback is if you ever put a less smart bulb in the lamp, it will always be on until you disable the switch.

You don't - you use an MQTT client like MQTT Explorer

I'm using a CC2531 I had since earlier, if it comes to this stick simply not being good enough I'll get a new one. I have factory reset the lights both using the dimmer and using the bluetooth feature in the app and the lights blink just like they're supposed to. At first the bulb connected, but I then accidentally reset it again while attempting to reset the other light. It's still listed in the z2m configuration.yaml, I don't know if this is something that would cause problems. Now I can't get either of them to connect, and I'd love to hear if anybody has any troubleshooting steps for hue lights not connecting after factory resetting and permitting joining in z2m.

Hi, I just got the Digi XBee module S2 and I downloaded the XCTU software and am trying to flash the firmware on it that can run it as a Zigbee router so I can add it to home assistant via ZHA (Sonoff USB ZB-dongle plus) for some while but I couldn't do it. Does anyone know how to do this?

I did use my connector with Z2M instead of ZHA to get an update for my Bosch valve. Afterwards the network configuration was wrong. I did use the backup and afterwards set the channel to 11, since that was recommended to me once. After reloading I got a message that also the NWK (network I guess) has change from 0 -> 1. The problem is that my Tuya valves don't seem to be able to join anymore now. Is it possible that some device only support NWK 0?

rigid wagon
#

Does anyone come from smartthings? How is your zigbee network after migrating to HA and using what hardware?

austere patio
topaz seal
austere patio
#

I would first get your network to a state where it works by restoring the ZHA backup from before Z2M changed the adapter's network settings. If you want to migrate to channel 11, use the dedicated channel migration button within ZHA to do so.

topaz seal
#

I did all of this because I am having connectivity issues with my Bosch Thermostat 2. I know that a quirk is still missing for it (I want to write one actually), but that doesn't explain the connectivity issues.

#

Everything is already restored. Seems like the Tuya thermostats only support NWK 0

austere patio
#

The NWK update ID is usually ignored

topaz seal
#

Maybe the Bosch Thermostat works better on NWK 1? Does that make sense?

#

Okay, then I guess not

The Bosch Thermostat stops responding after a while and I have take out and insert the batteries again

austere patio
#

Can you download diagnostics for the ZHA integration and post a link to the JSON?

topaz seal
#

Sure

#

What does NWK stand for btw?

#

I can see that it is stepping through them when configuring

austere patio
#

What exactly did it say?

topaz seal
#

I just reset the thing and it is still configuring

austere patio
#

Let's start with the integration diagnostics for now. If you have interference issues that prevent new devices from joining, that would be the first thing to tackle.

topaz seal
#

No, that is solved

#

I did do a HA backup and aftewards a ZHA backup

#

Just the Bosch issue remains

#

The thing is: The conection was stable with Zigbee2MQTT. Wonder how that can be..

austere patio
#

Z2M uses channel 11. If the connection is stable on channel 11 but is not stable on channel 15, it sounds like you have interference problems.

topaz seal
#

All other devices work well though

#

Yeah, it is not looking good

austere patio
#

55% congestion on channel 15 vs 34% on 11 so it's not that big of a difference but I would try migrating to channel 20 (what ZHA would pick if you leave the channel selection dialog on auto). Some devices can disconnect from the network if a quirk doesn't replicate the manufacturer's initialization process. Some others also only join on specific channels, but since yours is already on the network that probably isn't it either.

topaz seal
#

Why did David then say to use channel 11? Is it the most compatible?

#

Do I have to reload ZHA after switching channels?

austere patio
#

You can reload the page, it'll show the new channel

#

Hmm, it looks like your device can only join with an install code present in the battery compartment

topaz seal
#

Yes, I already did that

#

It works, but afterwards the connection is not stable

#

I really want to write a quirk for it. Finally a Zigbee thermostat that can regulate the valve opening in %

Actually that endpoint is showing as not supported when downloading the diagnosis, but it works in Zigbee2MQTT

#

well well what do you know, in the last hour I learned what custom ZHA quirks are, how to add one, and why the one I added would not work. it was all because the name was a slightly different random string of characters, and the quirk only knew of two other such strings

#

when I added the one from my device to the quirk’s file and restarted HA, the device suddenly reported its readings

now, it hasn’t updated since that restart a few minutes ago, but I’ll see if it works after a good night’s sleep I guess

bright nebula
#

ugh, it’s stuck and not working

#

So fun problem

#

I have many lights

#

Philips Hue, from when I used their bridge for things

#

Migrating them to HA to remove the second Zigbee network

#

Varying wattage. Some are brighter. Some are white, some are white ambiance

#

None of them are color

#

Some of the lights properly work like white balance, and respond

#

Some of them, however, show as color bulbs in HA, and respond to power and brightness, but not color changes

#

Can't change the color temp, cause it's like it thinks they're color bulbs. A few in question, in one room, they're all the exact same bulb, but some of them show as color bulbs, so they don't all respond to color changes

#

I've tried reconfiguring them to no avail. Thoughts?

#

Firmware and model number is identical between two lights (one shows properly, one does not), so it's not a firmware thing or anything

wraith talon
#

Apparently rebooting Home Assistant fixed that

Hello!
I recently moved to a bigger place and noticed that my end devices started falling off the network a lot. Been looking for the problem a little while and I think I narrowed it down to aquara sensors and my routers being 90% Ikea tradfri bulbs.
Is there any way I can make this work or is there any good alternatives to the aquara sensors (contact/door sensor and temperature)

sour shadow
#

Could well be interference problems, but also did you pair your end-devices to a nearby router, (good) or just let them pick (not good)

tacit flare
#

I paired them to a bulb that is less than a meter away

#

But they fall off less than an hour later

#

I did change the channel to 25 yesterday to see if that would help

sour shadow
#

You've checked for WiFi interference?

#

You've tried fresh batteries?

#

25 is the least populated channel in my apartment, I will try some new batteries too

whats the basic worksflow of upgrading firmware of a z-stack stick?

  1. download backup
  2. Flash stick
  3. use the migrate button to push the backup the the newly flashed stick?

#

No need to worry about backups, just check that the firmware doesn't have known problems and then flash it

(at least, no need to worry for Z2M, I assume ZHA's the same)

Hello, is here anyone with _TZE200_hue3yfsn Tuya TRV? When I have heat mode and switch to off, the valve is not fully closed and I need to set_current_heatpoint to 5°C to fully turn off heating. I have added it to via zigbee2mqtt.

sour shadow
#

Turning it off means it's not doing anything, leave it in heat mode

candid burrow
sour shadow
#

But that also means it won't close the valve further

#

Off means do nothing at all, not opening or closing

candid burrow
#

That's not exactly true, when I click on off, it automatically turn on heating_stop

Heating stop
Battery life can be prolonged by switching the heating off. To achieve this, the valve is closed fully. To activate the heating stop, the device display "HS", press the pair button to cancel.

#

But it leaves the valve a little bit opened so it continues heating

sour shadow
#

Ah yes, consistency across devices ... who'd want that 😄

#

Either it's a design decision or you've got a faulty device

I have two of these and both are doing exactly same thing

#

Tuya are well known for being a bit shit

#

Tuya's WiFi stuff is the exception though, it's mostly ||a lot shit||

Well the problem is not in that it can't fully close the valve, when I set temp to the lowest point (5°C), than it closes the valve fully

they're good. I have some, their price increased by a lot so I thought I'd get the cheaper Tuya ones. after all it's all zigbee 3.0 right. well now I regret not spending the money on the Aqara, because those just work

  • I fully uninstalled and reinstalled Z2M
  • I confirmed that my config file is pointing to the stick correctly

Is there somewhere I can find a more detailed error log or something?

for temp/humidity prob best bet is aqara zigbee 3.0 but if you're trying to be cheap the xaiomi bluetooth ones around $5 arent bad. there was links shared recently to flash them to zigbee but i havent done that myself (yet)

i think the motion sensor is a bit overkill, as is the price on them

On the zha-device-handlers repo, but I've already created a PR that should fix your issue: https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/pull/2733

We still need a "Xiaomi attribute report" for this device to add proper tests though. Please do the following:
Enable debug logs for ZHA (on the integrations page), let the sensor idle for a time, and then trigger the sensor. Lastly, deactivate debug logs on the integrations page again. That should prompt you to download the entire HA log file. Please send me the whole file or the relevant snippet of the log file via Discord DM.

If you want to test the fix as a custom quirk, then download the modified (raw) file and install it as a custom quirk.

Hi guys,
I just deleted a zha climate device to factory reset it. Now, I reconnected it and gave it the same name as before.
Now, the device seems to be connected (I can see it's sensors and so on) but cannot really interact.
As I change the temperature on the device itself, the entity in zha gets updated with the new temperature, so it should be connected fine.
But when trying to change the temperature over HA, I get the message Failed to send request: Request failed after 5 attempts: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>
I enabled the zha debug logs, where I can find the following lines:
Cannot migrate history for entity_id 'climate.d5x84yu_et093wro_thermostat' to 'climate.heating_2_thermostat' because the new entity_id is already in use
So, it might work just resetting again and giving the device a new name. But as this is a little uncomfortable and I assume there should be another way gettings this fixed: Any ideas?

OK I'm at a total loss, so hopefully someone here will know the answer. I'm in the process of swapping from an old Conbee II controller to a Sonoff 3.0.

I've gotten it recognized, and Z2M boots up now without issue. Almost all of my light bulbs repaired without issue (struggling with Hue Blooms, but those were always finnicky for some reason, even on the old stick)

Big problem now is non bulb devices. In this case:

  • 2 Hue Switches
  • 1 Hue motion sensor
  • 1 Smartthings Button
  • 1 Aqara door sensor

The switches are what I'm trying to get now. I resett it/put it in pairing mode, and Z2M just has it join, start the interview, disconnect, reconnect, over and over until eventually the "Enable Join All" expires and it just says failed interview.

drifting flare

That will offer you a .json.txt file to download. At the bottom you'll see a block of energy_scan information including the amount of noise/traffic/radio energy for each zigbee channel; higher numbers indicate more radio chatter in that channel

#

Remember that although Zigbee and WiFi spectrum overlaps the channel numbers are unrelated - Zigbee channel 11 is impacted by WiFi channel 1, and Zigbee channel 25 is just above WiFi channel 11. There's a helpful picture linked in one of the pinned threads in this channel I thnk.

Hello everyone. I was wondering if anyone else has encountered the same issue I am currently trying to wrap my head around.
I have couple Aqara TRVs installed via ZHA and I noticed the current temperature reading is initialized (upon adding or HA restart) correctly with 0.1 precision, but then it only changes with increments of 1 degree. I tried to investigate in zha source yesterday, but it was already late so I didnt get very far.
In attached image you can see how the entity reading jumps by a degree except for the change at around 22:00 where I restarted HA.

Hey! I am (Soon) hoping to be HA user as i got annoyed by having 3+ apps for all the products.
I am able to get Home assistant Green in about 2 week time. Should i buy SkyConnect (The blue stick) or should i buy Sonoff Plus E stick instead, since most of my things are Zigbee?
(I'm sorry if this is not the correct place for questions like this)

And which one is more stable - ZHA or Zigbee2mqtt?

I am using the SkyConnect on a HA Yellow

ripe osprey
# cunning gorge If you plan to use IKEA Products, I recommend Zigbee2mqtt. I did not get ZHA to ...

as for now, i have 4 temperature sensors, radiator smart valves and smart plugs from aqara, Some philips hue devices and also some Google home devices. Ideally, everything would be in Home assistant in the end, so instead of telling people that live with me to use 3 different apps, they could use just 1
Aqara devices seem to have the same issues as Ikea devices in ZHA, so i suppose zigbee2mqtt is the best bet for my use case
I am up for any suggestions on what would be preferred in this instance

ripe osprey
sudden yarrow
#

I had no trouble with the SkyConnect yet myself. And at least some of the online rants are due to user error - like using all kinds of HAOS add-ons with it, thus installing other firmware which didn't work with the solution they tried to archieve.

#

An extender cable is always recommended

ripe osprey
sudden yarrow
#

If I remember correctly, the Sonoff Dongle Plus E has not been recommended here.

I see, so skyconnect is the way to go

I'd wait for some of the people, who are more into the coordinator stuff. They might have a good alternative for you.

You can use one coordinator with one Zigbee integration. If you need or want to use another integration too, you would need a second coordinator. But that might open another can of worms.

Hey all, I'm running ZHA on my Home Assitant VM running on VMWare Workstation w/ a USB passthrough Sonoff 3.0 dongle.

It worked great for months, but sometime over the last month it stopped showing up
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_...if00'

Something that complicates the "What changed" question is I have so few Zigbee devices, I'm not sure when it broke, so I'm having a tough time correlating changes to when it stopped working.

I validated that Workstation was passing the device through... and eventually got it working by going Configure -> Migrate Radio -> Reconfigure -> select /dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Single_Serial_#######-if00 -> Keep radio settings

Noting that it looks like it's being presented differently from Windows -> VMWare Workstation -> Home Assistant... I assume this may have been something on the Windows or VMWare Workstation level that changed this?

None the less, every time Home Assistant reboots I have to manually repoint this now. Any pointers on where to make a change permanently?

austere patio
rocky socket
# austere patio Are the two serial port paths identical?

They're not, sorry about the wall of text above. I'm thinking it was a VMWare Workstation upgrade that may have changed it.

'/dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_...if00'

vs

/dev/serial/by-id/usb-1a86_USB_Single_Serial_#######-if00

austere patio
#

The bottom one looks like what happens if the USB chip can't be queried properly, since it is what provides ITEAD and SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus V2

#

I think it's using a CH340 USB-serial chip. Perhaps there's an incompatibility somewhere? One workaround is to move the dongle to a Raspberry Pi or another computer and expose it over TCP with ser2net. That will let you connect to socket://ip.addr:port from ZHA, which bypasses USB passthrough.

rocky socket
#

That sounds likely, considering "what's changed" on my host and not knowing when it broke. Thanks

(Add/Remove programs shows I updated to VMW 17.5 build 22583795 on 2nd of Nov, so even more likely)

Differences in what sense? Hardware? Software? Firmware?

ripe osprey
#

Usecases for a new HA user, who would be getting HA Green

austere patio
#

SkyConnect has first-party support within Home Assistant Core and is directly supported for automatic firmware flashing with addons you can find in the Addon store, works directly with multiprotocol migration, and so on

#

Sonoff-E uses the same chip but you'd have to manually do the above things if you use it

ripe osprey
#

I see, so SkyConnect is the preferred choice for new users. Thank you!

grim igloo
#

Tube makes an efr32 based PoE coordinator that does all the same things as above and can be centrally located regardless of where home assistant lives in your house

#

And as much as we don’t have definitive evidence, I’ve seen enough people having issues with a skyconnect then moving back to old dongle and issues disappear that I can’t personally recommend them.

#

But with that being said I’m not convinced it’s the skyconnect vs every efr32 coordinator and bug(s) that haven’t been found yet

#

So in some eyes, a cc2652p based coordinator is actually a better option.

If you're getting started with a Green, I doubt you'll have issues with either one. You can always switch after the fact.

Has SkyConnect been tested at all on HA Core? I picked one up, plugged in it, confirmed my machine can see it via lsusb, etc. HA picks it up and offers the integration, but when I click it, it immediately fails with Failed to probe the usb device.

The System > Logs screen shows no logs whatsoever when this happens - is there another place that logs would be stored so I can find out what's happening?

I could also try this with ZHA, but I've read that it may not work on SkyConnect without flashing it to Zigbee-only first (which I'd rather not do).

How are you running Home Assistant?

mint flume
#

It's Home Assistant Core, just installed directly into the OS.

#

I realize that's the most pain in the ass way to do things, but I'm generally pretty comfortable with bare OS installs of things.

I've thought about moving to the container, but before this Zigbee stick snafu, everything's been working great.

#

Most likely a permission problem with accessing the serial port

mint flume
#

I thought so too - but the perms are the same with the Aeotec stick so I'm not sure why this would be different. Let me enable debug logging.

#

You are 100% correct @austere patio. 🙂

Since this is a tty device, I suspect the user running HA would need to be in the uucp group, but the SystemD file for HA Core uses Dynamic Users, so I'll have to figure out the right way to do that. Thanks! I'll report back if I can't figure it out.

#

Also found out why ZwaveJS works and not this - it's in docker, running as a user that IS in uucp.

@austere patio could you reformat that above and then pin it? might be useful for others in the future

austere patio

I doubt many people run HA Core directly 😄

ohh this is only core

./tenor tis a silly thing

Hi, I just got the Digi XBee module S2 and I downloaded the XCTU software and am trying to flash the firmware on it that can run it as a Zigbee router so I can add it to home assistant via ZHA (Sonoff USB ZB-dongle plus) for some while but I couldn't do it. Does anyone know how to do this?

austere patio
#

You probably have to manually program in the network settings for your ZHA network with XCTU

#

And switch it to router mode with XCTU

orchid trench
#

Yea I already did that

#

In the XCTU app :

NJ: 5A
EE: 1

5A6967426565416C6C69616E63653039 is the global link key, ZigBeeAlliance09. You want to use the network key. It's in your ZHA backup JSON.

#

Or no, that's right. XBee uses NK for the network key and KY for the TCLK.

#

Make sure the channel bitmask SC is set correctly as well
