Is is possible to disable whether or not a mains device is a router?

grim igloo
#

altho iirc that's a maybe eventually with efr32-based coordinators? like i think puddly said in the past you could force a device to have zero children in theory down the line on efr32 chipsets

molten linden
#

as far as i know no way to do this with a router, with efr32 coordinator you could tell it to not have any direct end device children, I believe Mattwestb on github has done this.

grim igloo
#

ooh just the coordinator 😦

oak birch
#

Looks like updating the firmware did the trick, thanks for the suggestion!

void patrol
#

I go my tubeszb cc2652p7 yesterday it was discovered as a ESPHome do I need to add it as to ESPHome? I think I have it setup as Zigbee2MQTT but can't seem to get it to find a device.

grim igloo
#

the esphome part you can use in the future to upgrade the fw

void patrol
#

Yes, it doesn't mention adding it to ESPHome or not and the online instructions talk about flashing

grim igloo
#

z2m config required for an ethernet-based coordinator

#

you have to already have mosquitto broker addon configured assuming you are using haos

void patrol
#

I delete a Hue device off of the Zigbee Home Automation and tried to add it to zigbee2mqtt but doesn't seem to find it

grim igloo
#

wait what

void patrol
#

mosquitto broker is already installed so I skipped that part

#

It starts so I am told that it's working

grim igloo
#

i see

#

well z2m seems to be working then?

void patrol
#

I deleted a Hue device off of the Zigbee Home Automation and the Hue app can find the device but Z2m doesn't

grim igloo
#

you arent actually pairing them to the hue hub are you?

void patrol
#

No, I was just trying to see if deleting the device unpaired it

#

I went in to Z2M setting and selected Permit Join

#

Am I missing something for adding a device to Z2M

grim igloo
#

@molten linden he's having issues pairing devices after successfully setting up z2m with a p7 based PoE coordinator of yours

grim igloo
molten linden
#

Not sure how long has passed since removing the hue bulb maybe power cycle it if not if it’s BT too use hue app to reset

void patrol
#

What is the difference between the settings/main/permint join and the pull down in the top menu with the countdown?

molten linden
#

Also if using default z2m channel maybe 11 is congested

void patrol
#

It's a light strip with no reset button, I deleted lights out of the Zigbee Home Automation(SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2) does that unpair them for Z2M to discover?

grim igloo
void patrol
grim igloo
#

like say you are adding an old aqara door/window sensor, ideally you'd pair it directly to the closest bulb or other repeater because those devices dont always migrate to other/better routes

void patrol
#

Like a hub and spoke setup?

grim igloo
#

for most devices you just add them and let z2m/the coordinator do the rest

#

(like with all hue stuff)

#

you do want to pair all mains stuff starting closest to coordinator and move outwards tho

#

and before you do start joining devices, i would suggest a zigbee energy scan

void patrol
#

If you pair it directly to the closest bulb, and that bulb is down does it have any link back to the coordinator?

grim igloo
#

are you saying you have zha and hue bridge both running currently?

#

and also are trying to join devices to z2m a third zigbee device?

void patrol
#

I have about 40 mostly outside devices paired to Hue and wanted to play with a few on HA and had them connected to Zigbee Home Automation(SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB) but don't want the USB pass through to my VM/Cluster for maint. reasons

grim igloo
#

i see

void patrol
#

zha, hue bridge, and z2m

grim igloo
#

well ideally you would just have z2m running to limit interference

void patrol
#

I will likely do away with zha

grim igloo
#

you should 100% do an energy scan with zha turned off

#

and figure out what channel has the least interference

#

or download the zha diagnostics file

#

it will do a channel scan then let you download

void patrol
#

I believe I need to keep Hue for the Hue Sync to work

grim igloo
#

if you want music stuff you dont want to move off the hue bridge

#

there are workarounds but not ideal

#

but a lot of us prefer to use all our hue bulbs as repeaters + only have one mesh

#

right now every device you add to zha or z2m cant use the hue bulbs as a mesh

#

and vice versa

#

pretty not ideal

void patrol
#

Makes sense

grim igloo
#

anyways it's definitely sounding like an interference issue at this point

#

especially if zha and z2m are on the same channels (and hue hub lol)

void patrol
#

Hue is on 15, zha 20, and don't see where z2m is

grim igloo
#

what about wifi overlap?

void patrol
#

Without going to unifi and looking at each AP is there a way to scan?

grim igloo
#

bonus points if you are using a mesh wifi system from your ISP

#

you scan for wifi with a wifi AP and for zigbee with a zigbee coordinator

#

and you plan out what goes where

void patrol
#

No mesh wifi 🤮

grim igloo
#

i.e. my channel 11 2.4ghz unifi AP is furthest from my zigbee coordinator running zigbee channel 25

grim igloo
void patrol
#

wifi is 11, 153, 37 and 11, 149, and 1, 48, 37 and 6, 40, 37

grim igloo
#

well i'd download a diagnostic from zha so it actually shows you a zigbee scan (with z2m turned off)

void patrol
#

I shutdown zha, can z2m do the scan?

grim igloo
#

No

void patrol
#

let me fire zha back up. And i want to turn off z2m, but powering it off or stopping the z2m service?

grim igloo
void patrol
#

Once z2m is off do I need to run a scan?

grim igloo
#

Zha runs a scan after you turn on diagnostics iirc

#

I use z2m you might have to look it up

void patrol
#

Does turn on diagnostics mean enable debugging?

#

Or just do a Download diagnostics and that scans

grim igloo
#

download diagnostics sounds right

#

it redacts any personal stuff

#

20 looks like the winner then

#

you only use 11/15/20/25 and usually not 11

#

so set z2m to 20 before trying to add any devices

#

z2m ui -> settings -> advanced -> zigbee channel

void patrol
#

got it, It was on 11

#

Won't start now, configuration-adapter mismatch

#

Configuration is not consistent with adapter state/backup!
Channel List: configured=20, adapter=11

Do I need to manually delete /config/zigbee2mqtt/coordinator_backup.json

#

deleting that seems to have worked

grim igloo
#

it's a failsafe to keep people from fucking up

void patrol
#

So now do I need to join the strips that were on zha to hue and then delete or should z2m read them after I permit join?

grim igloo
#

you can join to hue and delete if you want

#

cant hurt

void patrol
#

In z2m is there a search serial number like Hue or is that a Hue only thing?

grim igloo
#

it works for me

void patrol
#

So z2m is seein those lights or those are joined to z2m already?

grim igloo
#

they are joined

sour shadow
#

Z2M can only "see" things paired by Z2M to the coordinator

Did you get a startup repair about network settings? Reconfiguring the radio doesn't really do anything different from startup so it's hard to say what your original issue was.

Thanks. What coordinator are you using? Is it with a VM? Also, did the serial port path change from /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_0001-if00-port0 after you reconfigured?

i've looked in and can't find anythiing wrong ity why its weird, how i can post the logs here ?

fading ether
#

@austere patio Looking at the logs, I see a timeout error which makes sense. (I saw the integration load and it would sit there and then fail.)

rapid dawnBOT
#

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.

thorny crown
#

ty !

fading ether
#

The timeout error keeps repeating. It must be a path issue. Once I reconfigured it worked which probably forced it to reload the path. I wonder if there was something in the latest release that triggered this.....

i see that at the end line zigbee2mqtt try to connect to the broker but seems that it can't but i can't find anything in my config file that don't match what it should

is that the right address for the broker? Does Z2M have the right credentials?

Hello,
I'm quite new to Home Assistant. I recently bought a Aqara two gang Zigbee "Wireless Remote Switch H1 (Double Rocker)" switch which I would like to add to Home Assistant via the SONOFF ZigBee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus and the Zigbee Home Automation integration. I was able to add everything to Home Assistant really smoothly But when I wanted to configure the switch in the configuration menu, no button press events showed (only battery and identify , see picture). I did some research and found an amazing tip that told me I should use the event listener. This worked, but then I ran into another issue. In the event listener, there is no difference between a press on the first or second button (see picture, one is from first button, other is from second button). Would anyone know how I could solve this issue?
Thanks in advance!

carmine hamlet
#

it seems like HA can connect to it...

thorny crown
#

oh you think the adress have changed ?

carmine hamlet
#

🤷

thorny crown
#

but i can't find wich adress my broker is now

carmine hamlet
#

what I see is that is looks like HA can connect to it, but something else is continuously failing

#

so I would look at the credentials

thorny crown
#

the crédentials ?

carmine hamlet
#

yes

#

That Z2M is using to connect to the MQTT broker

thorny crown
#

i dont have anything when i go in application crédentials

carmine hamlet
#

That Z2M is using to connect to the MQTT broker

#

Z2M

thorny crown
#

ah you mean password and username ?

carmine hamlet
#

yes

#

those are credentials

#

if Z2M can't connect to your broker...

thorny crown
#

sorry i dont know all the terms

#

on the broker and on zigbee2mqtt, i have exactly the same username and password

#

i just dont know how to check the server adress to be sure its the one i use

#

the port is 1883 like its asked on the broker @carmine hamlet

#

ill try with core-mosquitto instead

#

aaah it worked !

#

thanks it helped me to find this @carmine hamlet but i dont know why the requiered adress has changed

carmine hamlet
#

It should have always been core-mosquitto

thorny crown
#

weird

#

it worked with that untill an update

#

but all my sensor have the name "mqtt sensor"

carmine hamlet
#

It opens that port externally by default, so it would have worked if that was the address of your HA instance. If you didn't reserve the IP and it got a different IP when it restarted, it would fail just like this

thorny crown
#

ah yes i see

#

but now all my sensor have a generic name

Has anyone managed to get group binding working on ZHA using the SkyConnect dongle via the Multiprotocol approach? I'm trying to finally get my Hue dimmer switches to work but it's a major pain in the ass - binding seemingly succeeds, the dimmer can issue one or two commands maybe, then it goes into the "orange blinking" mode and refuses to do anything until a reset - or just flashes the red LED without anything else happening....

After a HA restart my tubeszb-cc2652p7-poe-2023 which is setup through Z2M comes up as discovered for ZHA, should that be ignored?

Check the Z2M docs for the device

So it says it Exposes Gradient, but reads like it's what Hue provides and not individual led control.

Does anyone here use Aqara H1 switches? I've managed to use zigbee2mqtt to set the switch to decoupled Mode butnnow the LED indicator on the switch is permanently switched on. The switch has an option called "flip indicator light", but toggling that option makes the LED go off permanently.

I want to use the switch in decoupled Mode because I have it hooked up to a Lifx bulb (Single click = toggle, double click = 25% brightness) and I want to set it so that the LED remains off when the bulb is off.

How does one do basic trouble shooting on a device that constantly disconnects?

#

I asked this morning but didn’t get a reply on how to proper “wipe” or in zigbee world “re-pair” a device

#

I switched radios last week and a new set of devices constantly dropping and they are like 15 feet from the damn skyconnect

#

So if I delete a device. And then re-add it back with the same name, it assumes the same role as before. Is that considered a full wipe of a device??

#

I just don’t understand how a device that’s 15 feet from the stupid radio can drop like this. Granted they are the ikea blinds and likely pieces of shit anyway

#

Is there a primer or guide on how to troubleshoot devices dropping off and going unavailable?

#

Everyone said “oh u need to upgrade the Nortek, get the sonoff” - I got the sonoff, did a complete redo changing channel and paying attention to wifi channels. Not better. Then it was “the sonoff has problems, get the Sky connect”. Did the migration. Not better.

Zigbee2MQTT is a Zigbee gateway that uses MQTT to communicate with HA and supports a range of TI chipset based controllers. Our #zigbee-archived channel is a good place to ask about using it with Home Assistant, but they also have their own Discord server.

i'd ask in their discord server^

They seem to actually progress and finish

grim igloo
#

oh

#

and it's literally only two devices?

i update 2-3 hue devices viz z2m OTA updates at a time and they take like 15-20min each with the 3 going at once i think? maybe up to 45min with multiple

at this point I only have 2 devices connected to Z2M and started one update was taking a long time so I added a 2nd a few feet from the tubeszb and it was the same

I’m not super familiar with the light strips but their bulbs haven’t given me issues with updates like this

#

There’s delays with ota for battery stuff tho

They wake up, grab a few packets, go back to sleep, rinse and repeat a bunch

Is the update coming from Hue or from Z2m?

if you enable debug logging on an integration (like zha), how do you download them?

cerulean flicker
#

@reef inlet you automaticly download it when you stop the debug

reef inlet
#

ah

#

thanks. i see now. it appears that enabling debug logging on a specific integration doesnt just enable it for that integration. the debug log seems to contain everything about the whole HA setup

open cliff
#

What are all the components I need to get ZHA integration working in HA core?

#

Also, I read somewhere that zigbee causes some interference with wifi. Since I live in an apartment complex this is a slight concern, so is it bad enough that I should consider zwave?

#

By my reckoning, it seems like the zigbee2mqtt container should be the first thing I install.

grim igloo
grim igloo
open cliff
#

oh so is zha its own container?

grim igloo
#

zha is built into home assistant by design and uses websockets

open cliff
#

Even HA core?

grim igloo
#

z2m is not built into home assistant and uses mqtt to communicate with home assistant to control the devices

open cliff
#

So I need an MQTT broker?

grim igloo
#

you also need mosquitto or similar for z2m yes

#

it comes in handy down the road

But do I need an MQTT broker for z2m?

grim igloo

mosquitto is an mqtt broker in case that wasnt clear

it's the preferred option

For Z2M yes. The M stands for MQTT

grim igloo

#

What are the pros and cons of using ZHA versus z2m?

grim igloo
#

cries

#

there's no easy answer and a lot of info online is outdated

#

z2m has a dedicated ui dashboard and exposes more things in a friendlier-way-to-use in my opinion

#

zha is easier for onboarding and has come a long way with a lot of creature comforts

#

like migrating coordinators, automatically scanning and choosing the best zigbee channel

open cliff
#

And z2m is able to be integrated into HA?

grim igloo
#

the supported devices pages are pretty nice as 3well

grim igloo
#

most people will not so nicely point you to the docs lol

#

there's no lack of use of devices by using one or the other

there might be support for a new device to hit z2m first but it just depends

Later, I can add things like smart lights and a thermostat.

#

What's the problem with that device?

grim igloo

wyze

#

if you go home assistant you buy products that integrate well with it

#

whether that be zigbee or zwave, or fully local wifi, those are your best options at this time.

i'll be honest no one ever talks about wyze stuff here so i didnt know it was a zigbee device

as far as locks go, zwave are popular but there are apparently quite a few good zigbee ones

If it allows me to use my same physical key so that maintenance still has access to my apartment, then I think this covers that.

#

Wyze might be a good way to go at least for my apartment. I won't be living here for much longer ideally.

#

And once I get my own house, I can probably go for any lock I want

that is a zwave lock

#

lol

open cliff
grim igloo
#

ya i think those work fine

open cliff
#

The cheap chinese one from wyze still sounds better. Plus it would match everything else in my apartment - except in this case it's cheap mexican construction.

#

Although, the kwikset one might be more trustworthy

grim igloo
#

I use kwikset zwave locks

#

They come with kwikset smartkey where you can rekey them all at home to the same key

#

I’m sure they sell zigbee ones that do the same

You shouldn't use SkyConnect with Z2M, but you can use it with a 2652-based coordinator. And yes, you could run both in parallel

Did you do troubleshooting with your SkyConnect yet? Interference?

I guess I could. I'd need to check with my WiFi access points that are Poe to see if they pass through power to their 2nd ethernet port

So what is the proper way to reconnect a Zigbee switch for example when it is showing not connected in HA? I just held the button in to put it in pairing mode, then I went to add device in ZHA, it was found, had its original name, I had to tell it an area though, but then made a different entity id… so it is not linked to any of the dashboards or automations anymore. Did I do this wrong. I don’t want to hand to always remanded and delete entities and then lose history (i presume).

grim igloo
#

That re joined the device to the mesh and obviously the old one with the same name still exists so it can’t have the same entity names as it

oak zephyr
#

Yes I understand why it happened. Is there another way to get the disconnected device to reconnect without doing what I did? It seems as though this process is wrong. Since it is a wall switch I can’t just turn it off and on so to speak since it is mounted in the wall. I’ve tried using the “reconfigure” button and that never seems to do anything. How should I accomplish reconnecting a disconnected device without having to tenant everything and delete etc.?

grim igloo
#

you need to fix that, there is no "reconnecting" to the mesh either it can talk to it or it cant

#

if it can talk to it, it shows up in home assistant and is usable

#

you could of course delete the old device first then add a new device back and rename it the same and the entities would be the same

#

but that isnt solving your issue of why it's dropping off the mesh

oak zephyr
#

This is not an often recurring thing. They are only 7 feet apart through a single dry wall wall. So what is the point of the reconfigure button?

grim igloo
#

i dont use zha is it not mentioned in the documentation?

#

my guess is it tries to reconnect a device after changes to the mesh (like a channel change)

#

without having to remove it and re join it

oak zephyr
#

I can’t say I can find specific info on the reconfigure button thus far, no.

#

hey everyone.

#

i got 2 styrbar ikea remotes that have 4 buttons each. however in z2m it only shows 2 buttons.

#

in automations anyway.... i get the following action on the device: arrow_right_click, arrow_left_click, off and on.

#

So... sounds like the four buttons are represented as four states of that entity

#

ah, i see on and off are simply the buttons as well. not a state of the device.

The chip in there is "not recommended for new designs" according to SiLabs. It's pretty old and you can't use the latest firmware with it.

It's a fragile version of whatever you can make by plugging a USB stick into a Pi and connecting it over Ethernet via ser2net

reef inlet
#

ah ok, yeah i've just read its a tuya thing anyway. tbh i've not had any issues in the last couple of years with my tasmota flashed sonoff wifi/zigbee bridge, until latest version of HA74 seems to have broken zigbee for me 😦 was the only reason looking at alternatives. (usb ones arent an option unless i go down the convoluted route of using/buying another rpi)

sour shadow
#

Why isn't USB an option? You're using Hyper-V?

grim igloo
#

Interface on WLAN after already going across a zigbee mesh is crazytown

reef inlet
#

usb isnt an option because my server (running on docker) is in a location which is nowhere near any of my zigbee devices

#

hence me looking at ethernet ones rather than wifi

#

but at this point it seems to be more of a pipedream with the only people making them being enthusiasts themselves and seemingly finding it hard to get anything manufactured since covid

grim igloo
#

It’s not a pipe dream you just can’t justify the cost of the tube one plus shipping

reef inlet
#

true. that is seemingly the only option and yeah i'm struggling to justify £100+ for such thing when i'm merely trying to troubleshoot whatever this issue is with the latest version. Alternatively, I could switch from zha to z2m as from what i'm seeing, zha seems to be pretty flaky (despite it working fine for me til now)

grim igloo
#

Neither are flaky with a good coordinator and routers

I guess post some logs or start describing your issue

Hello Guys. I have some issus with Zigbee and Skyconect on my HomeAssistent installation. All my Zigbee devices constantly lose conection to Skyconect and woul't work inspite of beeing in the same room with the server. Simply every device has lost connection. What can I do?

What would be the expected device type for a valve control? I'm asking because I have this device TS0001 by _TZ3000_iedbgyxt that is a zigbee controlled motor to open and close a valve. This device presents in ZHA one control that when switched on successfully opens the valve, and when switched off closes the valve. The control is however of the type light, i.e. the entity for it is created in the light domain. Is there any type that makes the valve not show up as a light, but as a valve or if no type exists (yet) for a valve (I haven't found any such type yet) as a switch? I don't want my water mains to be closed when I turn off all my lights....

sour shadow
#

There's no valve domain

fathom ibex
# sour shadow There's no `valve` domain

Thanks, I was afraid of that. The deviec is now automatically detected as a light, would it be possible to change this into a switch? As we do have helpers to change a switch into some other types, but there are no helpers to change a light into anything else. Other than the complicated way in that topic you pointed to.

sour shadow
#

Read my second line there

#

That's the only way

fathom ibex
#

yes, I found that too and I will try it. My question was directed towards changing the ts000x quirk to create a switch control instead of a light control. As for less-savvy users (like me) it is possible to change the type of a switch control -using the "change device type of switch" helper- but there is no such equivalent for changing the type of a light control.

anyone know if i need to repair devices from the dongle P to SLZB-06 ? and i'll be running some devices far away from my home, well, 20-30m so i have 2 SLZB-06. the second, do i set it as Router?

Shed currently accesses same network via a wireless wire 60ghz link (microtik device) to the shed's POE switch. Basically just need to run probably 5-10 sensors n switches down there, eg, dust extractor with an automation so off = 10second delay to clear pipes.

Running also some garden sensors. Unsure if router is best or a seperate shed zigbee2mqtt instance is better with a second coordinator. Garden there is next to shed. Prefer to run all in one z2m instance.

Also quick question - downlights/240v devices, do they act as routers? increasing device limit?

you never have it, or at least it was a ilusion. This controler can control only RGB diode or W not both together. So if you read the whole closed issue on z2m you will find out they just don't bother to implement this ilusion but you technically can set the same colors with both. If you set clear white with z2m it will switch the controller to white only mode... Other white temp color of this device is just mix of RGB so you can set your desired value in the color ring.

Can someone recommend some good remotes? Ikea Styrbar ones drive me mad with Z2M.

When I used Tradfri hub it was working fine. Now, with sonoff dongle-e, z2m shows that every bulb/router at home is connected with each other, remotes are connected, worst LQI is 235/255 and still there are moments when I press TEN times on Styrbar to turn on light.

And then grab phone from pocket to use HA app.

I've recently started using HA with Z2M and just paired my new Ikea Tradfri Sensor, can I replicate the default behaviour (only turn on lights when light is below threshold)?
I'm seeing 2 values within the state of this sensor being illuminance_above_threshold and occupancy.
So my understanding would be that I need some sort of clause if illuminance_above_threshold is false and occupancy is true however I am not sure how I can make an automation using these values from the sensor.

Hi 👋 I have the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB dongle, HA running on a QNAP TS-251 via Container Station (Stable version). The Zigbee integration is not detected when I plug the USB. When I SSH into the NAS, I can see /dev/ttyACM0, but i don't see the device when I type ll /dev/ttyUSB*. I do have the TTY permission enabled in container settings and typed both commands ( insmod /usr/local/modules/cp210x.ko and insmod /usr/local/modules/usbserial.ko) in the terminal.

Any idea what else can I do to get my NAS to recognize the stick and pass it to the VM where I have HA installed?

I have some zigbee lights with dimming here integrated with z2m. The dimming somehow lags behind exactly one input. Turning the light on and off works fine. But setting the brightness to a value the light always gets set to the previous value it was set on. For example:
Turning the light on with 100%
setting brightness to 50% -> nothing happens
setting brightness to 10% -> the light gets dimmed to 50%
setting brightness to 100% -> the light gets dimmed to 10%
setting brightness to 10% -> the light gets dimmed to 100%
and so on
any idea why this is happening and how I could fix that?

I got some cheap Zigbee Fire Alarms from Aliexpress. Since it's Zigbee they should be fine right? I know to avoid cheap wifi shit from China and put it on my network. I'm thinking there's an exception for Zigbee am I right? I originally bought them to resell so I could do that.

It doesn't seem I can send a picture for some reason.

#

I was able to use my coins and got them for 4.30 each and I got 3 of them. Ratings are pretty good and I assumed I could not mess with their applications at all and put them into HA with no problems since their Zigbee.

#

I'm asking for confirmation lol I would never buy a wifi device on Ali it probably has terrible code and does all kinds of messed up stuff to a network. But if it's Zigbee it should just sync right up. I have Hue bulbs everywhere so my network is strong.

Id be less worried about this product being Tuya ZigBee and more about it working decently as smoke detector. In the end this is a critical safety device

Yeah, I was thinking about putting some incense under them and testing them. But I don't want crap that can mess up the network. I'm scared of China's wifi devices. Where they probably never update the code and patch vulnerabilities.

It's less of an issue for ZigBee. There is no guarantee any of those tuya device actually follows proper standards which can make it incompatible with zha/z2m

For smoke detectors I would look for devices with certifications (whatever certification applies for your country).

final aurora
#

I have an expensive Zwave one but its legit the only Zwave Device I have and I don't want to keep my smart things hub just for that.

#

What I want to know is if I need the hub to access Samsung's Washer and Dryer. Because I have them and would be great to sell the smart things hub and be fully local that's why I was looking for a Zigbee device. And I mean TBH we haven't had a fire alarm most of my life. If it hooks up to HA and I can test with some smoke that it works it's better than nothing. And I got 3 of these Zigbee ones so 3 is better than the one Zwave one which I think I spent 90 bucks for. It detects gas but I have baseboard electric and a Samsung smart Electric Stove so the gas part doesn't matter. I really hope I can hook the Samsung stuff right to HA though.

#

Would probably still have to use the Samsung Integration but I don't think you need the hub to use them. My HA isn't set up yet It's a soon-to-be project.

main ruin
#

A number of not properly working smoke detectors might as well be as good as not having a single one.
Personally I wouldn't cheap out on those at all, especially not as certified good ones last for a decade before a replacement is required. The only purpose they serve is to alert you reliably to leave the area. It being network connected of any sort is a pretty worthless feature if it doesn't automatically trigger an emergency call.

I don't want to have Zwave to my HA just for smoke detectors.

#

Also don't have any hard wired I would love if I could but batteries work good.

#

I don't even see any Zigbee Smoke Detectors.

#

Or matter

astral seal
#

A lot of the properly certified "smart" smoke detectors are using some kind of proprietary protocol, like they're specifically designed to work with a monitored security system that will call emergency services.

#

Since you already have one zwave detector you paid a lot for, just get a zwave dongle and a couple of the First Alert zwave units.

why does zigbee smart bulb go offline when I turn off the light, if it's connected via Sonoff ZBMini zigbee relay? Shouldn't be online?

austere patio
#

If the relay shuts off the power to the smart bulb, the bulb turns off completely. It's as if you unscrewed it from its socket.

#

yeah but isn't smart relay there to keep it powered via neutral wire connected to the relay?

You have to set it to work in that mode.

I have a Mocreo temperature sensor model ST4. It uses Zigbee but in a non-standard mode. It's designed to work only with a Mocreo hub but I've managed to get it recognized using ZHA by repeatedly trying to get it discovered. It reports temperature but not battery and is missing manufacturer info . These are nice devices: use DS1820b, have an 1800 mah rechargeable lithium battery, a long flat cable to the sensor that can be closed in the door to a freezer without damaging the door seal or creating a leak. Are there instructions somewhere on how to figure out the data being sent and configure a quirk?

There is one thing missing in ZHA compared to Zigbee2MQTT. Device model names.

"TRADFRI bulb E14 WS 470lm by IKEA of Sweden" is worthless as it is the same for b/w and colour bulb ;(

Is it possible to run ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT on the same HA system?

You would need a second coordinator

OK.. makes sense. Are there any Zigbee debugging tools that I can use to determine what is being sent by these Macreo devices if I use a USB Zigbee controller dongle plugged into a PC? Would this be helpful in figuring out how to create a quirk?

you can turn on debugging for zha, and it will log pretty much everything the coordinator sees. for more analysis, you'd need another adapter that has fw for sniffing, and run a sniff to see what the device is sending.

Z2M only uses the model attribute on the Basic cluster to match against a friendly name. If a color bulb really has "WS" (white spectrum) in the name, it's an issue on IKEA's side

I'm having a weird issue with two identical thermostats:
I use a Home Assistant SkyConnect on firmware 1.0, with ZHA, on channel 26 (which I've known to work fine with this model of thermostat before)

  • They're both "Centralite Systems 3156105" on Firmware 0x1418468c.
  • The first one, shows up properly in Home Assistant, and all HVAC modes (Off, Heat/Cool, Heat, Cool) are available.
  • The second one only shows Off, Heat, and Cool, and when I set the thermostat to Auto (Heat/Cool), Home Assistant throws up the following error in a message box (but doesn't add it to the logs) and the temperature gauge of the thermostat card turns yellow and becomes non-interactable.
Failed to call service climate/set_hvac_mode. expected HVACMode or one of 'off', 'heat', 'cool', 'heat_cool', 'auto', 'dry', 'fan_only' for dictionary value @ data['hvac_mode']

Hi everyone, does anyone have opinions on Gledopto relays? Do they have safety certifications?

vocal cypress
#

I, separately, tried factory resetting it, removing and re-adding it to the network, moving the SkyConnect closer during pairing, and restarting the home assistant vm, none of which worked. What eventually resolved the issue was

  1. removing it from the network,
  2. restarting my hass vm
  3. rebooting the thermostat
  4. re-adding it to the network
#

Wait

#

When I first paired it, I hadn't enabled Auto mode (disabled by default in the thermostat firmware, probably because the UI for it is unfinished). I enabled it after pairing. (I am a fool)
I'm surprised the Reconfigure button didn't detect the change?

No experience with the relays but I have a few RGB-WW GU10 bulbs and two RGB-WW LED strips with controllers from them. I'm happy with them, though my kids are a bit disappointed the 'colorloop' command is not supported. Build quality on the LED strip AC adapter looks decent but I haven't tried to open it to see how it is inside.

# rigid wagon any. to get a idea of it.

You can't get an idea about it unless you know which one it is. There can be huge differences between different manufs and models. Also, some controllers have builit-in AC/DC converters and some are powered by external DC sources, which may have different efficiencies. So if you want an answer: probably somewhere between 0.1 and 10 W. If you want an answer that is actually useful please provide more precise inputs.

My experience with IKEA devices on ZHA (the remotes, but not the light bulbs) is that for whatever reason they are very flaky to connect for the first time. They may connect and immediately disappear again. You can reset, start pairing again, and get the same thing again. And then after you retried ten or twenty times in the same way they will suddenly connect and then stay fine for ages with no problems ever. Can't say I understand why but I've experienced this with a number of Tradfri shortcut buttons and Styrbar 4 button remotes. This happened with two different controllers (though both based on SI labs EFR32MG1).

Is there a good way for me to force my Home Assistant ZHA Zigbee network to re configure? I have a TuYa TS0601 presence sensor that itself seems to work fine, but it ends up as a hub of many other items.

This has seemed to coincide with some of my nearby battery powered centralite temp and motion sensors becoming unavailable. I've been able to fix that by resetting them but am annoyed to have to keep doing so at irregular intervals.

#

More in general I'm also looking for some help in setting up your network for reliability as I've had some of these issues with sensors becoming unavailable more frequently and only being fixed when I reset them physically. Annoying when it's stuff like basement or attic sensors or if I'm in the office.

  1. Are the lights dimmable?

If all these things are true then no matter what technology things use you can control them with the remote, or anything else connected to HA

# frail egret Thank you for your help, it was a serial communication problem that seems to be ...

Something similar drove me crazy today. Try to turn off your VM completely and reconfigure the USB passthrough before you turn it back on, that solved it for me.

I wanted to measure the power consumption of my server so I added my first matter devices (eve smart plugs) today, I shut down my proxmox node so I could plug it into one of the smart plugs but once I booted it up again, all of my matter / Zigbee devices were unavailable.

The "Silicon Labs Multiprotocol" add-on and the "Zigbee Home Automation" integration were unable to initialise but I was able to see and select the SkyConnect USB device within the configuration so I thought the problem is caused by one of the multiprotocol add-ons / integrations (it's still experimental after all).

Turns out all I had to do was to reconfigure the USB passthrough in proxmox because the VM was somehow not able to fully communicate with the USB device but yeah, that took me some time to find out...

Which is kinda strange because my proxmox node and all of its VMs automatically reboot every weekend to install the latest updates but shutting down the node completely apparently broke the USB passthrough...

So I remember before somehow HA found my Smart Things devices right away. Now it's not doing that and that was years ago.

#

Thankfully I wanted to go local with my Zigbee network anyway I bought a Sonoff from China a while ago should be here soon. Then I found out that HA has their own device and it's going to have matter support which is cool if it ends up really being great. Unfortunately, I can't buy the thing I have to wait a few months possibly. I would like to set up and configure all my Zigbee devices but I don't want to do it twice. My main question is if I set everything up on the device that should be here any day. When my new device comes is all the information for all the little Zigbee devices. Or are they stored on the device? What I'm really asking is when my new Zigbee made by HA with matter support will I have to set it all up again?

I'll be going between the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus-E Gateway and when it gets produced the Home Assistant official SkyConnect maybe sooner I'm canceling my order for one that's not even made the buying it on eBay Around the same price. Which app should I use to be able to plug in the SkyConnect the different stick and everything I did just keeps working. If it's a hard process now I'm getting the Sky Connect sooner. I don't m ok mind but if it's just like editing a Yamal file that's easy. Or something like that the devices and integrations are stored on the device the USB stick is just how it connects them right? I've never done this I used HA a few years ago and I just connected my ST integration and it pulled everything in.

I would like to go local with all my Zigbee lights too but that would mean I would lose access to everything in hue and all three scenes and lose access to hue sync. Think I'm going to keep them online. The pros outweigh the cons unless there is something I'm not thinking of.

I have a bunch of hue-light strips and even an overpriced TV sync box and the TV official Sync TV lights.

Does anyone here in the States have a Zigbee thermostat? I am trying to find one for my apartment. I live in the south, so it's got to support a heating/cooling heat pump and auxiliary electric (resistive) heating to be compatible with my system. I checked Lowes, but Lowes apparently doesn't know what Zigbee is.

#

Amazon's full of heat-only thermostats.

#

I am looking at the home depot.

I have one, yea. A Zen Thermostat

Comcast gives them out with their systems so you can probably find a new one cheaper on eBay than anywhere else

They're a couple hundred new, I paid like $50 on eBay for a NIB one

does it support auxiliary heating though?

I do not have to use auxiliary heat often, but when I do, I really need it. Right now I don't even have my heat turned on. I have barely used it this winter at all. My electricity bill broke a record last month at $36.

Also it does report the current state over zigbee, you could use it to control an automation to start whatever.

You can also take a look at some other devices you have that might already have a quirk (and then the relevant quirks code in the zha-quirks aka zha-device-handlers repo).

Hiusing the ZHA integration and after upgrade from 2013.12 to 2023.12.1 my Aqara C1 feeder is missing some off it's sensors and configuration options. I have triede adding it again but that dos not help. I can't find any errors in the log when it's configured. I'm thinkink if it has something to do with this:
Fix ZHA quirk ID custom entities matching all devices (@mellow geode - #105184)

mellow geode
#

So they were existing on 2023.12.0, but disappeared on 2023.12.1?

#

The Aqara C1 feeder custom entities don't match by quirk ID, so those matching fixes shouldn't affect that.

Can you send a screenshot of the device page? (need to upload to some image hoster like https://imgur.com)

bronze sand
mellow geode
#

Weird, I don't see how the PR would affect that. Restarting HA doesn't help?

#

Can you read the attributes through the clusters UI? (device page -> three dots -> manage Zigbee device -> opple cluster -> select attriubte -> read attriubte)

#

Afterwards, restart HA and then check if the entities appear.

bronze sand
#

I can read the atributes , no problem. But most off them says "None" in value except feeder_attr "b'\x00\x02\t\x04\x15\x00U\x01\x01'"
After restart all enteties are missing. But i can still read the attributes.

#

So i removed the device totaly from ZHA and addede it again. Now everything seems OK.

mellow geode
#

Ah, right. I think the Aqara feeder maps "Aqara attributes" to (fake) ZCL attributes. So reading them won't do any good. If there's a button on the device, you might be able to refresh some attributes. Restarting HA later should re-provide those entities.

#

Or yeah, re-adding should work fine too.

I've been running ZHA on a RPi 4 8gig with a Sonoff Zigbee USB dongle to control 8 Thirdrealty smart plugs, one of their motion sensors, and a couple Sonoff temperature sensors. Everything's been running perfectly fine until around December 8th, at which point my entire ZHA service has now started to just... go offline randomly, causing all of my Zigbee related sensors to go "unavailable" for a few seconds (or longer, sometimes for multiple minutes) and seriously screwing with my automations.

The error in my logs is "NCP entered failed state. Requesting APP controller restart"; I keep seeing via Google that this can be caused by wifi bridges, but I'm just running off a USB dongle. Heck even my RPi itself is running off Ethernet, and yes the dongle is on a USB 2.0 extension cable, plugged into a USB2 port, and is routed far away from any interference including the Pi itself. Furthermore, all but three devices in my entire zigbee network are mains powered, and even then all of my devices are literally in the same room, with one of those smart switches not even 3 feet away from the dongle itself. Not to mention that I've had zero issues with this same identical setup up till now.

Is there anything that can be done to either figure out what's wrong? Should I just switch to zigbee2mqtt? Would switching even fix anything?

austere patio

# austere patio What version of HA are you running?

Always latest version, unless one was released, like, today. Only non-standard thing about my setup is that I run HA Supervised on Raspbian so that I can also have a VPN on the same Pi, but even then i've been running it that way since I started using Zigbee.

...and yes, I did a quick sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade on the Debian system and rebooted just before posting up here, just in case that may have caused something. No change.

re: debug log
sure. To be clear, should I just enable debug logging, wait for an "unavailable", stop logging and send? Just wanna make sure I get what you're looking for.
re: CPU
The only add-on that would be eating CPU is the google drive backup one, which runs on a schedule that doesn't match up at all with the Zigbee cutots. But aside from that, again, this is running in Docker on a full headless Debian system so there's countless things in the system that could be using CPU. With that said, I do track overall CPU usage in Home Assistant anyway and there aren't any unexpected huge usage spikes (only google drive backup); the maximum usage hovers around 5-10% normally, and averages at around 4%, according to the statistics graph card.

Is there any layer sitting between the Sonoff stick and your Pi? What OS setup are you running? Just Docker in Debian with the USB stick mapped through?

crisp stirrup
#

any layer between?
I'm not entirely sure, but what I do know is that when I first set up ZHA all I did was plug in the USB and Home Assistant immediately found it without any setup, so obviously despite it running within Docker HA was still able to automatically discover the new Sonoff stick. I think HAOS actually runs things in Docker too, but it's more obfuscated.

And yes, it's just Docker in Debian. Raspbian, more accurately, however Neofetch still sees it as Debian anyway.

austere patio
#

You seem to have a ThirdReality 3RSP02028BZ (NWK 0xE7FD) reporting various energy usage attributes multiple times a second. In fact, it seems to be reporting so fast that the firmware on the stick does not like that Home Assistant doesn't confirm in time. That's why it crashes and resets.

crisp stirrup
#

Well, i've got 8 of those lmao. I'll try and see which one

austere patio

The one whose NWK address is 0xE7FD is the one responsible for 50% of your traffic

crisp stirrup
#

...well then, that's my desktop PC. Makes sense that it's all over the place with power usage, I guess

austere patio
#

It sent 17 reports in 95ms, many of which are duplicates. The minimum reporting interval is 1s for these statistics so the device is being glitchy it seems

#

Did you re-configure the device multiple times after you set it up?

#

Or do anything with it other than join it to your network?

crisp stirrup
#

I don't think so, and it was one of the first things I set up, months ago. No issues till now.

austere patio
#

Actually, it seems like this flurry of reports is being triggered because the device is having a hard time transmitting and is retrying aggressively. How far away from your coordinator is this plug and is it near any USB 3.0 ports or other devices that generate 2.4GHz interference?

crisp stirrup
austere patio
#

Is the plug near the IO shield of a motherboard or itself near USB 3.0 devices?

crisp stirrup
#

Nope. Closest things would be my Nintendo Switch and a powered off laptop, both of which have been where they are since I started using Zigbee. I've just turned off my Switch, just in case, though.

Got it. And does the crashing go away if you downgrade to 2023.12.1?

I have not tried downgrading yet; while I do keep rolling backups and can restore to it if necessary, it is kinda annoying to lose the historical data

#

...oh wait you can downgrade without losing data, can't you.

I don't believe there were any DB schema changes so you should be able to just downgrade the tag for the image in your Docker config
