Any issue with the bulbs being too close? I have a chandelier with 21 bulbs

sour shadow
#

If they work now they'll work the same with Z2M

#

The Zigbee part is the same, and 100% handled by the devices

vocal tree
#

They kinda work now... about 70% of the time one/two bulbs don't seem to get the message

#

I suspect maybe the better antenna/radio on the Sonoff may help that though?

sour shadow
#

Depends on the problem

vocal tree
#

Any feature lost with dumping the hue bridge?

sour shadow
#

You don't get all the fancy effects that are handled by the hub

#

You do move away from Philips harvesting all your data 😉

vocal tree
#

Ah... pi-hole handles that 😎 I have one old livingcolors lamp with the remote lost, can I migrate that?

sour shadow
#

Find it there and it works already

#

Don't find it there and you can add support yourself

vocal tree
#

It's a very early device, predates Hue

#

Any point to splitting into lighting/non-lighting zigbee networks with different channels?

sour shadow
#

Only if you hit problems

#

Even then, maybe split half the lights on one and half on the other

#

60 bulbs, dear lord

sour shadow
#

Seen more

vocal tree
#

60 in one room 🙂

#

134 so far total...

ivory shuttle
#

I was gonna say I don't think I've ever seen 60 bulbs in one room before, let alone smart ones

#

But then I just looked up

vocal tree
#

I'm trying to save on smart bulbs... most of the bulbs in the house are these IP rated 24V led spots... I'm trying to put those on Sonoff ZB mini 4

#

but I need to start by fixing the smart bulbs...

#

Have the issues with Hue motion sensors and zigbee2mqtt been fixed?

#

I have three

sour shadow
#

What issues?

vocal tree
sour shadow
#

Probablyl, that was years ago

austere patio
sour shadow
#

Epic

austere patio
#

Only way to "fix" it is to allow any device to join the network without a network key, which is what the sensor does

vocal tree
#

I have a stack of IKEA vallhorn PIRs i can use... though I've heard they have their own issues

sour shadow
#

Fine with rechargeable batteries apparently

#

Or if you want good motion+lux sensors the Develco/Frient MOSZB-140 is really very good

vocal tree
#

So I've started migrating some bulbs... I have two IKEA tradfri added and I want to add the Hue LTC001 in the same room... however it's unreachable in the hue app. Risky to delete?

sour shadow
#

Depends on whether your new mesh can be reached from it

vocal tree
#

It says unreachable... but power on/off and dim works

#

I originally had to adopt that one by serial number in hue

#

got it working... dead battery in the remote i was using to try reset...

#

🤦

#

hey tinkerer, so i switched the automation trigger device to my room fan for better testing, its the same brand plug from sengled. anyhow, the automation runs when the fan is off like its supposed to. I'll run the washer later today and see.

In order to have as little interference as possible from my wifi network, I understood it's good to have different channels for the zb network right? Basically try to get an "empty" channel?
Should I put all my APs of my wifi system on the same channel, and then my ZB network on another?

sour shadow
#

Well, look at the pinned image

#

With WiFi on one of the three "good" channels you've got 3 (or 4 in EU) clear channels for Zigbee

ember raven
#

Hmm still a bit confused. In your image the three "Wide" channels (1, 6, 11) are the good channels I take it? What do you mean with the second part, that I have 3 clear for zigbee?

sour shadow
#

There's numbers there for Zigbee too 😉

#

15, 20, 25, and 26

carmine hamlet
#

Those are really the only useful channels for wifi

sour shadow
#

The wide blue blob is labelled WiFi channel one

ember raven
#

Ahhh, the red one are zigbee channels, and those are good because they don't seem to interact with the wifi channels. Now I get it.

sour shadow
#

The narrow red-ish blobs are numbered Zigbee channels

ember raven
#

No legend on the graph 😄

sour shadow
#

Well, there are labels

carmine hamlet
#

In their infinite wisdom, the WiFi and Zigbee channel numbers are different and overlap in an unexpected way

ember raven
#

Yeah, I think it makes more sense if you have that background knowledge

sour shadow
#

But it's ok, Bluetooth overlaps and you've no way of finding out about that

ember raven
#

But I get it now

#

If you don't set it manually, zigbee just tries itself right? Can I see somewhere whether it's choosing a good one? I'm not quite ready to re-pair all my devices, so it's going into my "maybe optimise later" drawer

sour shadow
#

ZHA picks best, Z2M defaults to 11

earnest grail
#

I finally managed to fix the issue by disconnecting the load from the switch, pairing it, and reconnecting the load. Everything works perfectly now. Thank you very much for the support!

ember raven
#

Cool thanks. And a final question (for today)... I have a zigbee device outside, and it has a zb-router 40cm from it (inside). But there's HR++ glass inbetween, so the connection is iffy. Any clever way to solve this? (I have the same issue with wifi strength outside)

sour shadow
#

Not a lot you can do other than make sure the nearby router is really good - like a CC2652 with external antenna for maximum sensitivity

ember raven
#

I don't think my IKEA USB plug qualifies as "really good"

sour shadow
#

They're ... ok at least

#

Innr are better, but whether better enough I don't know

ember raven
#

I like your idea of a CC2652 though. Looks like I can get one from Ali for 15 euros. That's an ok price I think. Local ones seem to go for 35 euros

vocal tree
#

my own question answered... re-pairing of all devices.... won't be doing that then...

sage ibex
#

Apologies if this boils down to another ZHA vs Z2M question, as I know that that's been written about extensively, but if I just added a controller and ZHA but am intrigued by Z2M, based solely on your experience, would you go ahead and switch to Z2M before adding any devices or encountering any problems?

Is there any way to properly test if a ZigBee module can handle 16A as advertised?

#

Has anyone actually gotten a device firmware upgraded?

#

All of my Zigbee show:

#

Installed version : unknown

A ThirdReality plug: 3RSP019BZ

#

austere patio
#

Go to /config/updates and hit the "Check for updates" button

misty talon
#

Ahhhh bingo

#

Thanks a lot!

austere patio
#

They'll show up automatically for all devices probably in 2023.3.0

misty talon
#

Awesome

#

Much appreciated

#

Now to see how long this takes... heh

austere patio
#

Shouldn't take more than 10-15 minutes

ivory shuttle
#

And depending on the module and the usage, you might have to derate from what they claim anyway

#

Sometimes if you find the datasheet for the exact relay they use then that'll give some indication but still not guarantee of much

#

They could well use a 16A relay but only use pcb traces capable of 8A

Hello, when I group light switches in Z2M I can't control them at all for some reason, is there any way I could fix it?

#

I tried three different light switches models and non of them work

tall wyvern

#

Its usually more about the relays and spark gaps

tall wyvern
#

i'm assuming nothing we can do to test that?

grim igloo
main ruin
#

Well you can and see if it goes up in flames

#

But it may even depend on more things than just the current so you may not have a great time with them on different usecases

#

Can someone help I asked in another channel but this is where the Zigbee experts are. I bought some curtains open and closer. It works with the remote but it specifically says it's Zigbee and works with Tuya. When I put both sides into pairing mode 4 total but I get 2 things in ZHA so one for each set. There are no open or closed options though I'm thinking maybe I could put something into the code I'm not an expert like some.

It’s possible they need a custom config called a quirk

Has anyone successfully ran Sonoff ZBDongle-E under Zigbee2MQTT Docker? If so, how?

ashen bluff

It probably makes more sense to explain why it doesn't seem to work for you. Just know that support for it is experimental. It works for some.

#

Have anyone had a switch that turns itself back to it's old state when being pressed in the UI. The physical switch only swiches ones so it doesn't turn itself back like the UI.
Here is how it looks like: https://imgur.com/LI7GZh1

frigid quartz
#

Hi, what's your experience with IKEA zigbee bulbs and Lidl zigbee bulbs? Are they comparible in color? Are they in general good?

ivory shuttle
#

Sonoff E can be used in z2mqtt too

#

You can use both add-ons but you'd need a separate coordinator for each and be maintaining 2 separate networks

mellow geode
#

Ideally, also provide logs and the diagnostic information for that device

gaunt dragon
#

Awesome news! Thanks a lot! Will create one right now!

I am updating the firmware of a bunch of my Zigbee devices to solve some specific issues. I also need to update the firmware of my Conbee II Zigbee gateway. Is it safe to shut down Home Assistant and perform the update of the Conbee gateway while some Zigbee devices are still updating their firmware? Or do they need to stay in communication with the Home Assistant server while they are updating?

I'm looking for a zigbee solution

#

Low voltage signals to control fireplace fans

#

The fan itself obviously grabs 120v supply from a nearby junction.

The fan "speed controller" knob is located across the room on it's own romex

#

3 conductors, ground, "hot", neutral

#

When the snap disc in the fireplace heats up bridging the contacts it completes the circuit to the speed controller

#

Allowing the user to adjust the fan speed, or turn it off completely

#

To my understanding this should be low voltage correct?

#

Thus I wouldn't be able to use a typical zigbe fan speed controller switch?

ivory shuttle
#

You would want a device known as a dry contact relay for that

#

I personally gave up on my search for a ZigBee dry contact relay that met my needs and got a Shelly 1 instead

regal pumice
ivory shuttle
#

Relay with no potential on its outputs at all

#

Most of the ZigBee relay modules out there only have a switched live output

#

You need a relay with both poles of the output exposed and no power on them so you can use it to bridge where the snapdisk would have

regal pumice
#

Ahh yea that's what I was worried about

ivory shuttle
#

at the time I was looking (roughly 12 months ago) the only zigbee dry contact modules were 12VDC powered and had no casing

regal pumice
#

That could potentially be preferable

You see I'm just interested in speed control and on/off like a traditional "speed controller" would do.

Except the junction where said traditional switch currently sits has no 120vac

#

So unless I patch a module of sorts at the fire place and then have control at the wall instead

#

I've gotta figure out a different route of power

#

I could potentially pull 120vac

#

But this wall also darts into the utility room so I could run 12vdc to this junction

#

Transformer or a switching psu on the other side

regal pumice
ivory shuttle
#

No

#

Theyre relays

regal pumice
#

Or do they just open/close the circuit

ivory shuttle
#

theyre on or off

regal pumice
#

Ah I see

ivory shuttle
#

Make electrical connection or break it

#

Replacing what sounds like your mechanical thermostat, something with speeds, you'll need something more complex

regal pumice
#

So for speed control, what should I be looking at?

regal pumice
ivory shuttle
#

you mentioned a snapdisk, which to me sounds like a mechanical thermostat

regal pumice
#

Oh well in that case yes

#

The snapdisc acts as a thermostat mechanically

#

And the speed control knob adjusts the speed or opens/closes the low voltage circuit

#

*I believe it's low voltage based on my understanding

ivory shuttle
#

Speed control knob could do 101 different things internally

regal pumice
#

They do have 120vac rated romex running between them however

ivory shuttle
#

Without knowing anything about the innards of the unit, cannot comment any further

regal pumice
#

It's just a variable control

#

I'll be confirming today, but should be heading to the snapdisc in my fireplace

#

Both the conductors and variable switch are rated for 120vac

#

But based on my knowledge these circuits typically are low voltage

I'm migrating from ZHA to Z2M. I've noticed Z2M does not see/make "Identify" entities, like ZHA does?

SInce the last update I have huge problems with my Zigbee network... All motion sensors going in "detected" state randamly, even though nobody is there... The ZHA integration is restarting every 10min. I already reinstalled everything, recreated the zigbee network and had to reinitialize all zigbee devices and still it is not working :/ Using the sky-connect Multi Pan

# sudden yarrow "Just works" after one day in operation is a bit euphoric, isn't it?

but I mean: the devices have paired, the values get updated, it works. and i cannot say that about ZHA… the "unavailable" status every time I wanted to check something was driving me crazy. and the tuya devices which would pair, but not work 5 minutes later. etc. etc.

right now only one device does not want to pair is Nous A1Z - it's supposed to be supported though, so I'll debug it later

Hi, I need to update manually the state of two hue lamps. I've connected them through z2m and they work great, except that they won't update their state, brightness etc automatically. To solve this issue, I want to use the mqtt.publish service, to request them to update their state. But I don't know how to formulate the payload.

#

Any suggestions?

`service: mqtt.publish

Hi, I'm curious what I can and cannot expect from a ZHA quirks.

For example:
I bought an Neo Siren NAS-AB02B2 (which doesn't seem to include the temp/hum sensors).
The quirks exposes a switch to toggle the "siren", but requires me to use the "manage Zigbee device" dialogue to change volume, melody and duration or read the battery level (TuyaMCUSiren cluster).

So now comes the question:
Is it possibly for a quirk to create UI elements (entities?) for the mentioned Zigbee attributes? Except for the battery level which might be mapped to the ZCL basic/battery attributes AFAIK all of them are (allowed) extensions of the Zigbee standard.

@nova sedge 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.

remote wyvern
# mellow geode Eventually, there is going to be an improvement where quirks can directly create...

For this device zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute is enough. Thank you.

You mean to implement support within https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/zha this code?
This would pollute ZHA with manufacturer specific code.
But as Zigbee explicitly allows for extension somewhere the code has to go. As a user with code development background (though not in Python) quirks or something else outside of the core is preferable. So I can tinker with not yet fully supported devices.

Besides the shorter list of supported devices (thanks to broken products) the missing mapping of manufacturer specific attributes to HA entities seem to me the major shortcoming of ZHA to MQTT.

I've tried to understand the how quirks work, but I only could figure out some basics. Reading the ZCL helped a lot, but I don't get what is possible.

Say I want to add a IAS WD cluster to the Neo Siren. As I understand the spec only requests for a cluster command (though ZHA implements default values [?] as attributes). In theory the quirk could implement a command that stores the current Tuya attributes (melody, volume, duration), change it to the ones requested, trigger the sound and restore the attributes.
Or go the easier (?) route by syncing the Tyua attributes with the siren attributes of ZHA.

Is anything of that possible?

Hi all, what is the Right way to add a new Zigbee OTA provider firmware sever to HA?

fading briar
grim igloo
#

bulbs and other mains devices are repeaters unless a device breaks spec (like sengled bulbs are not repeaters, but every other zigbee bulb i know of is)

fading briar
#

Ah, that might be what threw me, then. I started with some Sengled bulbs and know they're not repeaters. Thanks! I've got a couple of these Innr bulbs to install and a couple of Sengled's that don't always respond - I think they're too far away. This should fix it (I hope...)

#

Also, odd, I just noticed that the link says nothing at all about "Innr", usually amazon links indicate brand info. Weird...

hello all. New to HA. Just got my green a few days ago, and just got my Zigbee Coordinator today. I plugged it in and set it up in HA (was immediately recognized). Next question...now how do i pair Zigbee devices? I also got an Aqara wireless mini switch (https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Aqara_WXKG11LM.html) but when i try the sync process via the mini switch, nothing shows up in HA

is there something i need to do in HA to initiate synchronization on the coordinator's side? I don't see a button on the coordinator to initialize syncing

Hi. Can a Texas Instruments Zigbee CC2531 be used to connect Sonoff ZBMINI? Or does it have to be ZB BRIDGE? At the moment I was not able to do it

sour shadow
#

Yes, it can, but...

  1. Range is less than 8 meters from the stick to the first router, a lot less without an external antenna
  2. That stick is the worst possible choice, you're going to regret it if you add more than half a dozen devices
haughty hinge
#

Is there a decent tutorial for that? I am trying to follow User Manual steps and also googling, but cannot connect it

sour shadow
#

Tutorial for what?

#

if you're using ZHA then the docs there cover the ZHA part, but you'll need the docs for your Sonoff to see how to pair it

haughty hinge
#

I plugged TI Zigbee into USB device on my computer, then added the integration on HA. It found Zigbee bridge very fast. Now I have Sonoff ZBMINI in pairing mode (green light flashing), and I try to add devices through Zigbee Bridge, but it doesn't find anything, but as you mentioned, maybe my router is a bit too far away

sour shadow
#
  1. Replace that stick with something that's not utterly shit - the Sonoff E works well for ZHA (which you use)
  2. Put the stick on a USB extension cable (see the pinned messages)
  3. Make sure you have Zigbee router devices to extend the range
haughty hinge
#

Thank you

sour shadow
#

To be clear, that stick you have is known to have many problems. The least of which is that it randomly stops working until you unplug and reconnect it.

Is there a way to change when a motion sensor reports occupancy clear?

Hi what’s your recommended zigbee motion sensors?

sour shadow
#

Aqara P1, Develco/Frient MOSZB-140, Linkind

frigid quartz
#

Just checked Aqara p1. It’s 4 times expensive as the IKEA one 😅

sour shadow
#

Well... buy cheap, buy twice

frigid quartz
#

My only two complaints for the ikea one is 1, battery life seems quite short. After eight months now it’s only at 34% and 2) seems I can’t change the minimum time the sensored can be triggered for a second time.

hi all. I am having a problem where ZHA "fails to setup" a few times a day, only way to resolve is to restart HA.

I enabled debug logs and here is the last few section (the log file is 280mb so could not upload it all)

https://dpaste.org/NfGeu

any help would be really appreciated. @austere patio this is the issue we spoke about yesterday.

austere patio
nova sedge
#

is there a way I can extract that info or should I just take screenshots?

nova sedge

#

Are any of them custom integrations? The error you're seeing is because you run out of file descriptors. Some integration somewhere is using them up.

nova sedge
#

well all the ones in HACS are custom i guess? any way for me to narrow down to the integration that is causing an issue?

austere patio
#

Disable half and see if it stops breaking. The filedescriptor out of range in select() warning you're seeing should stop showing up once you fix the issue.

carmine hamlet
#

Seems like it has to be something that talks to a dongle

#

What else would have any business using the serial package?

#

Narrows it considerably

#

to my knowledge the onlything that talks to a dongle is ZHA.. I have no nothing else connected to the pi

Hey folks, any tips on why my zigbee network is showing up with a lot of red and some gray connections? I'm done a few troubleshooting steps like removing devices and readding them to their closest router but they seem to default to a different connection point. Also using the HA Sky Connect dongle. https://imgur.com/a/NDRSocy

Trying to get my head round ZIgbee Node / repeater is it up to the device what to join aka .. got a Child device going through a repeater node (Presence sensor) instead of the main aceess point - both the sensor and the switch / child node are about 1M from the main access point

I just bought an ikea tradfri led zigbee bulb to try out (LED2201G8), but can't seem to pair it to my existing ZHA setup. anybody got any tips? This is the first ikea device I'm trying to pair.

#

Tried to put it into pairing mode by rapidly switching on and off, but no luck

#

And for each off it should be a bit longer than the on. So it's like below:
(in on) off on-off on-off on-off .... until the last on

I think IKEA got 1sec on, 0,5 sec off a few times

#

I got zigbee light switch in detached mode with smart bulb.
Do I need to bind each other (switch to bulb and bulb to switch) in order for blue/red switch led indicator to match every time?

frigid quartz
#

what indicator do you mean?

opaque helm
#

I got rocker switch and it has small load LED indicator

#

For turn on/off

frigid quartz
#

Do you have a photo showing the design?

opaque helm
#

There is light indicator on a button if it's on or off

frigid quartz
#

sorry never used it before

grim igloo
#

i think you just need to set an automation to make that light turn on when wanted

#

assuming there arent config options for it

opaque helm
#

I already made automation for whole bulb-switch in HA for this, but I wanna try if it's working without it since backlight on switch doesn't have settings

grim igloo
#

if the light only comes on with the relay and you have smart bulb mode on i think you are fucked

opaque helm
#

I combined live with switches bulb output, so switch only acts as a smart "button" with load indicator when pressed

Hi All, I'm using Z2MQTT for quite a while and I'm experiencing pairing problems with some ledvance Bulbs

grim igloo
#

also this is a channel, the channel "topic" 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 channel instead.

Looking for devices? See https://zigbee.blakadder.com/ and https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/supported_devices.html.

Wanting advice about what stick? Look in the pinned messages. Just don't buy anything CC2530 or CC2531 based.```

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.

So, I got these plugs (MOES TS0112) that surface entries for current, power, summation delivered, and voltage in HA, however nothing shows for these entries. What's going on?

I’m trying to add a second Aqara door and window sensor to HA. I’ve been able to perform the interview process and it says the device is ready to go, however the state never changes (eg. Never changes from closed) and if I select visualization, I see the sensor but there isn’t a line from the sensor to my coordinator. I’m using ZHA, my coordinator is a sonoff usb dongle connected via a usb hub with its own power. I previously added a door and window sensor a few months back with no issues

grim igloo
#

so you have no zigbee mesh?

#

no mains devices acting as repeaters?

turbid helm
#

Don’t think so. All of the devices are battery powered.

grim igloo
#

bummer

#

how many devices are you up to now?

#

the coordinator (the sonoff e? or p? dongle) + how many devices?

turbid helm
#

8 devices total including the coordinator and the sensor that is acting up

grim igloo
#

have you considered buying things that would act as routers for your mesh?

#

cuz that's kind of what zigbee is all about lol

turbid helm
#

I was able to add 2 motion sensors yesterday with no issues

#

I haven’t really considered mains powered devices up till now 😀

grim igloo
#

there is a maximum number of directly connected devices and which sonoff dongle you have changes that

#

also basically you diagnosing this is completely pointless

#

cuz once you get a few bulbs or something the issues will just disappear lol

#

when you do buy some devices to act as repeaters, make sure to join them starting closest to the coordinator first

#

it's just good practice even if devices get new routes afterwards later

outer flame
#

So i just got some xiaomi temp and humidity sensors and set them up. The LYWSD03MMC. and did the steps to make them zigbee compatible and integrated with my home assistant. But it seems like the temp stays at 78.6 and won't change in home assistant but the humity is working correctly.

turbid helm
#

Ok. I’ll look into adding a bulb or two. Thanks!

grim igloo
#

i use and suggest hue bulbs, but ikea seem to be decent for a cheaper option

#

also killing power to these bulbs or any mains device acting as a router is bad and will fuck up your mesh. so dont do that

grim igloo
turbid helm
#

lol. I’ll keep that in mind. Keeping them powered shouldn’t be too much of a problem, I’m fortunate that my utilities are pretty stable and only go off when I intentionally cut power to replace light switches 😀. Thanks again for the help!

Not strictly a HA question, but figured others may have seen the device...I got some Zigbee in-wall relay switches to use for some odds-and-ends lights (ie. closet). I got one wired up and paired with HA no problem, and control from HA works great.

The issue is that there are S1/S2 terminals on the device that I am supposed to be able to use to still use the physical switch, so it's a little bit like a 3-way switch using the relay + existing switch.

Once I wired the existing switch in, neither the switch nor the button on the relay (only accessible because I didn't close the box up yet) work, but it does still toggle via HA sending Zigbee events. I figured adding the switch in may have messed it up entirely, but somehow Zigbee still works, while the toggle on the relay doesn't?

hi everyone. running z2m, i often have the network going unresponsive. the error is "SRSP - AF - dataRequest after 6000ms". replugging in the coordinator works usually, but sometimes im not home. i currently have the failure and restarting the mqtt broker add-on and zigbee2mqtt add-on does not work either. is there something else to try?
i do notice in the hardware tab, the coordinator is still found on usb.

What coordinator?

ashen coral

I had issues with a lightbulb that was going bad and spamming the mesh with announcements until it crashed, which gave me the same error.
I could see in the debug logs that there were a lot of messages from the same device.

thanks for not blocking, i suppose 🙂

#

Check the Z2M log at the time and see what else is in there

is there still a way to see? i already replugged the coordinator and z2m restarted by doing that.

Anyone have experience with Clipsal/Schnider Wiser switch modules? How the heck do you get them to switch from Bluetooth to Zigbee mode? Tried factory reset, 3 short and one long press until the led flashes fast. Also tried 3 short and one long press until the led flashes slow. Also tried 12 short presses. No change. It is stuck in Bluetooth mode. Spent hours re-trying all three methods. It does have a zigbee part no. Of the 10 I tried pairing only one has this issue and it is my fault for putting it in bluetooth mode to see if there was an update available from the app (there wasn't).

I have a zigbee usb stick plugged into my pi in a usb 3.0 slot yet when I go to system > hardware > all hardware, search for "usb" my stick doesnt pop up? or should I not be searching usb

#

im using the SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle aswell*

#

you can only connect 32 devices?

austere patio
#

That's very incorrect and should be removed from the documentation

#

It's a hard limitation of the firmware running on your coordinator device. Some have no limit, some have a hard limit of 16, some 32. It's not something you usually ever hit though, since adding any routing device (e.g. a bulb) to your network will increase the limit.

#

It's unusual to have just 32 sensors

#

Ah, you have the unusual case! Buy an outlet or a bulb or something 😄

#

You can also buy a second coordinator and flash it with router firmware. They have a larger child limit than most bulbs and outlets. But for mesh stability, it's best to have more than a few routers.

deep plover
deep plover
austere patio
#

That's just an artificial Hue limitation. You can have 200+ devices no problem.

sour shadow
#

Those bulbs are routers, so no

deep plover
#

oh ok

sour shadow
#

Hue limits you to 50 per hub for performance reasons, and so they can cheap out on the hub

deep plover
#

whats the difference between routers and sensors?

See the pinned messages - routers route packets, sensors are usually end devices

are you trying to setup ZHA with a sonoff E dongle?

im using the zigbee 3.0 usb dongle from sonoff and I haven't done anything with zha ive followed a youtube tutorial did everything the same way they did yet when I go to hardware to find the serial of the usb stick to put it in zigbee2mqtt I cant find the usb

ive used this one and I tried with the skyconnect one

There's at least three different "3.0" dongles from Sonoff, maybe four

Two have the same base name, just to be helpful

it says the model is ZBDongle-P if thats it

As long as it has power all the time, yes

#

yes, you start closest to your coordinator and delete the bulb from hue app. then the bulb goes into pairing mode and you join it to z2m/zha whatever

#

rinse and repeat

#

If theyre the older non ble capable hue bulbs, I had issues with them not going into pairing mode when removed from the hue app

#

but that gen also supports being forced into pairing mode by a sequence of repeat power cycling them

if you bought the zigbee version of the switch, then yeah probably

set your dongle up with ZHA, add zigbee device as normal with the switch forced into pairing mode, done.

Anyone have any experience with Dansfoss Ally radiator thermostats. I recently bought 3 to test with and they are very difficult to get to register to HASS.
One out of the 3 have registered and stayed connected.

What they do is that they, as soon as they have registered go to an offline mode and won't take any commands from Hass.

frigid quartz
#

Is there a general rule of thumb of which channel the zigbee should run?

carmine hamlet
#

the one ZHA picks for you, or the one with the lowest level of noise in an energy scan from 15, 20, 25

frigid quartz
#

Do you know of an app to do that?

#

I’m currently using channel 11 and I see it’s definitely not very free

carmine hamlet
#

it's the worst one

buoyant osprey
#

youtube told me 🙂 that best practice would be to have your wifi channel low and zigbee high or visa versa.

carmine hamlet
#

the guideline is not to have them overlap

#

but Wifi isn't the only thing that lives on the 2.4GHz band

frigid quartz
carmine hamlet
#

the one I pointed to above

frigid quartz
#

Another question is if I have a WiFi AP very close to the zigbee device but I’m sure they run at very different channels. Would this still be a problem?

mellow geode
#

So, it depends.

#

What is your Z2M (Zigbee) channel right now? 11?

undone swan
#

ZHA has partial support for the Philips Hue Tap Dial switch (RDM002). This means that, for example, long press/release of the four buttons can't be automated. There's a partially complete PR to address this but it's been stalled for months. Can someone help me understand if it's just abandoned at this point? (https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/pull/2340). Thanks!

carmine hamlet
#

I’m currently using channel 11 and I see it’s definitely not very free

mellow geode
# mellow geode What is your Z2M (Zigbee) channel right now? 11?

Zigbee channel 11 collides with 2.4 GHz WiFi channel 1 mostly. (assuming only WiFi channels 1, 6, and 11 are ever used, because those are the only ones you should use).
So, you can set your WiFi APs to channel 6 and/or 11 (at 20 MHz) and that would prevent your WiFi APs interfering.

frigid quartz
mellow geode
#

It's the default used by Z2M.

frigid quartz
#

If I set it to 25 would I see some problems? Is it commonly supported by zigbee devices?

carmine hamlet
#

you should really run an energy scan and see

#

20 is better than 25 for me

#

This means 24, 25 are good?

#

And why does it only start from 11 till 26? I thought there's more?

mellow geode
#

Yep, 25 is generally a bit better. 11, 15, 20, and 25 are ZLL channels and compatible with a few more devices.

frigid quartz
#

So if I go for 25 for zigbee, I shouldn't be looing for compatibility issues right?

mellow geode
#

You should be fine, yeah.

frigid quartz
#

Then for 11 in this case does it look good?

mellow geode
#

It's not completely bad, but does have more interference.

#

Is your Zigbee network running on that channel as you did the scan?

frigid quartz
#

yes the one with the bracket so 11

mellow geode
#

So you stopped Z2M and did the scan with the same dongle?

frigid quartz
#

yeah

#

I tried without stopping z2m but it gave me an error

#

According to you, if I switch from 11 to 24 or 25, how much can I gain in terms of stability?

mellow geode
#

What issues do you currently have?

frigid quartz
#

sometimes some lags for the control if they are not bound together

#

I have some buttons that doesn't support binding. And sometimes the first click will not work.

#

But it doesn't happen all the time

mellow geode
#

What "button models" are affected? Not first-gen Hue dimmers, right?

frigid quartz
#

No some xiaomi buttons. on z2m it's mentioned that it does not support binding and I also don't see the option of binding

mellow geode
#

Not sure those issues necessarily come from using channel 11. It doesn't seem to be that "full" (but 25 would be better ofc).
You might want to re-run the scan in different parts of your house to see if you get other results then.

frigid quartz
#

Then I need to move my raspberry pi with my dongle around...

carmine hamlet
#

the problem is that many Wifi routers default to channel 1, which is in the same region as Zigbee channel 11

frigid quartz
#

My router is using automatic for both 2.4 g and 5g. Not sure how it decides it

carmine hamlet
#

so depending on what's around you, you could see significantly different results in different locations

#

you should pick it yourself

mellow geode
frigid quartz
#

I will take a leap of faith here. So I will first do a back up of z2m. then change the channel to 24 and repair everything and see how it goes

#

this might take 1-2 hours

#

Wish me good luck!

mellow geode
#

I'd use channel 25 and not 24. Also, set your WiFi APs to 1 and/or 6 then.

#

Before moving the Zigbee channel though, check what your WiFi AP is set to now.

#

You might have the same issue after moving Zigbee channel otherwise if the AP keeps switching its channel.

frigid quartz
#

Should it be just the APs or also the router?

frigid quartz

# 
ZLL devices are able to operate on all channels available at 2.4 GHz, numbered from 11-26. The primary ZLL channels are defined to
be 11, 15, 20, and 25. All other channels constitute the secondary ZLL channels. Additionally, ZLL supports a channel change mecha-
nism in an application-defined way. When the channel change mechanism is instigated, the device broadcasts a network update with
the scan channels field set to indicate the ZLL channel on which to begin operating. Routers receiving the update request update their
NIB and execute their channel change procedure. Routers that miss the request can be brought back into the network through a tou-
chlink procedure. If a touchlink initiator wants to bring a router back into the network, it sends a unicast inter-PAN network update re-
quest command frame. If the touch-link initiator is an end device, it executes a re-join procedure``` taken from https://www.silabs.com/documents/public/user-guides/ug103-09-fundamentals-zll.pdf
mellow geode
#

For example, Konke devices only seem to work on Zigbee channels 15, 20, and 25.
(not that you should use Konke devices, but some devices have issues with channels other than those or the default ZLL ones)

frigid quartz
#

I see thanks

#

Then I will switch it to 25

mellow geode
#

Did you check your router/WiFi AP first now?

#

It might cause some of the interference you're seeing on Zigbee channel 11.

frigid quartz
#

Yes the 2.4 ghz is now on 9 and 5ghz is on 44

carmine hamlet
#

channel 9??

frigid quartz
#

I don't want to change it there for the moment since it might lead to wifi issues for me due to wifi interference itself

carmine hamlet
#

get off of that immediately

frigid quartz
carmine hamlet
#

your neighbors probably already hate you

#

it overlaps both 6 and 11

mellow geode
#

Yeah, you should only ever use WiFi channels: 1, 6, and 11

carmine hamlet
#

1, 6, and 11 are the non-overlappijng channels

frigid quartz
#

Then they should blame tplink...

carmine hamlet
#

any commercial Wifi AP that chooses somethign other than 1, 6, or 11 is definitely to blame

#

my Arlo base station creates its own Wifi network and tries to overlay it on your existing Wifi network (because supposedly it's better to let them cooperate than to just create noise?), but my multiple APs are distributed between 1, 6, and 11, so it splits the difference and chooses something in between 🤷

frigid quartz
#

After checking I think 11 is the most free of the three. I will switch it to 11

#

But I seldomly use 2.4 ghz anyways

#

And for the channel of 5ghz it should be fine? 44

carmine hamlet
#

doesn't matter

mellow geode
# frigid quartz After checking I think 11 is the most free of the three. I will switch it to 11

I will link this again: https://www.metageek.com/training/resources/zigbee-wifi-coexistence/
See the second image with the red Zigbee channels? The big three channels in the background (blue, green, yellow) are WiFi channels 1, 6, and 11.
You do not want those to overlap with the red/Zigbee channel you choose.

Right now, you're using Zigbee channel 11, so don't use WiFi channel 1. Only 6 and 11 are fine.
If you want to use Zigbee channel 25, don't use WiFi channel 11. Only 1 and 6 are fine then.

carmine hamlet
#

Right now, you're using Zigbee channel 11, so don't use WiFi channel 11. Only 6 and 11 are fine.
don't use Wifi channel 1

frigid quartz
#

I see thanks

#

For now I will first switch to zigbee 25 since in terms of energy scan it's one of the best

#

And then I will see what will happen. the worst case would be I need to do some additonal tweaks on the wifi which is fine

#

I think unless there are zigbee device compatibility issues otherwise I can just stay with channel 25

#

But if I changed it to 25 and things got messed up can I just restore everything using the backup of z2m?

quaint tinsel
rigid wagon
#

im not noticing zigbee trouble.

mellow geode
#

There's probably not much activity on your 2.4 GHz WiFi then. For Zigbee, it's better if you can move the channel 11 AP to 1 or 6 too.

rigid wagon
#

there is a DUCK ton of activity on my wifi, and i have around 60 zigbee devices haha.

#

i have 14 cameras, out of wich 10 are on 2.4ghz wifi.

mellow geode
#

Ok, that's not great then. If you don't notice any issues with Zigbee, it's fine. The performance is impacted though (especially by those WiFi cameras). It might not matter for you though.

You can always try to see what happens when you have two of the APs on the same channel. You should choose the furthest away APs then.

#

Like, having two WiFi APs (or more) on the same channel isn't that big of an issue (and unavoidable in big buildings with many APs), but it will decrease performance there.

rigid wagon
#

i had that already, i always had issues i halfly accepted until it drove me crazy

#

seeked some advice at openWRT, the router guys, and they helped me solve it by switching the channels into 1, 6 and 11. others overlap.

#

maybe the zigbee performance is a tiny bit less since i implemented it, i dont notice anything bad though. quite snappy.

yeah, i tried several combinations. everything except for 1, 6 and 11.

20221226 is the last one that works for "everyone". So, you might want to downgrade to that firmware.

#

Holy cows how is that a fact

#

How can it be that so many firmwares, especially later ones, crash?

#

And is that version even compatible? Anything im loosing with the downgrade?

tropic depot
#

Hopefully you lose crashes 🙂

rigid wagon
#

Haha, so no features etc. And the uzg-01 is compatible? Because it uses a newer chip

mellow geode
#

Is it the P2 or the P7? / Which "hardware revision" of the UZG-01 do you have?

rigid wagon
#

The p7.

#

I bought it because its claim it can handle many devices at the same time, i dont want to lose that if i downgrade. Want the 69 devices to stay as snappy as they re now.

mellow geode
#

I will provide a 6.10 fw (including p7) soon, currently doing some testing

#

So, I guess you still have to wait a bit

#

Thanks. Can it then be flashed inside home assistant?🤔

The product docs say it supports web flashing

So I added a Zigbee temperature and Humidity sensor to my HA and I see it in the devices... but I can't get it in my overview. What do I need to do to get it to show up there?

No, it’s about Z-Stack crashing completely.

#

The "individual devices being gone" issues are unrelated to the original issue

#

There’s already multiple other discussions and issues about that

#

The issue is rarely seen on the P7 though, but it can happen

#

(You might still have another issue though)

I found I needed to press it only 4 times, and over about 3 seconds, and then it connected. It hasn't been particularly reliable since, though.

I had an Aqara TVOC that stopped reporting to HA after some time (Z2M). It was really annoying so I never used it. Then one day I wanted to see if I could get it to work again but it was completely dead. Warranty invoked and I have a new one in the mail. But anyone here got them working stable? I'm considering just selling it instead when I get it.

Hi, does anyone know of cheap relay modules that support Zigbee (preferably 3.0) and can be equipped with a momentary/pulse switch and can be connected to HA?

#

I've found Tuya ZB3 Dimmer modules where the switchtype can be set to momentary (via the Tuya hub). But unfortunately I haven't found Relay modules that support momentary switches.

#

modules need to be installed in european installationboxes (behind the momentary switch)

Hey all - I've just asked the same question on reddit so apologies for the double drop. I've got a Yale Assure Smart Lock with a Zigbee module that I have integrated with ZHA. Weirdly, it's not automatically returning any values for any of its states/attributes. This was working some time ago, but I can't be sure when (at least 12 months ago). I can send lock/unlock commands successfully, and if I click "manage device" in the device options and read the state of the door_lock attribute, it then updates the state in HA but only if I do this read manually.
Any idea what might be going on, or how I can further troubleshoot? I've removed the device from HA, factory reset, etc

mellow geode
#

Did you try to reconfigure the device using the option on the device page (three dots -> "reconfigure this device")?
Otherwise, try to pair the device again by resetting it (whilst having the "Add Device" page open).
If all that doesn’t work: GitHub issue.

Hi, I have some zigbee magnet sensors that became unavailable. Is there an easy way to make them available in home assistant again? What is causing them to become unavailable and how can I prevent this from happening again? I'm using the zha integration.

sour shadow
#

They became unavailable because they've not reported in recently (hours to days). Try operating them, and then try replacing the battery if that doesn't work.

cobalt moth
#

they have a little activity LED when operated and that just flashed fine, they still don't show up. The rest of the zigbee network works fine though, I can operate my zigbee power sockets without a problem. But I'll check the battery to make sure that's not the problem. Do I have to pair the device again if I replace the battery? Or does that differ from device to device or vendor?

sour shadow
#

You shouldn't have to, no

#

But the blinking LED just means there's enough power to operate it, not that there's enough for the radio

cobalt moth
#

I replaced the battery but still nothing. I also checked the old battery and it still showed 2.98V so it seems like the cell was still full.

#

It's also that all of the magnet sensors in the house just show as unavailable which hints at a system problem to me rather than an individual problem

#

but the power sockets work just fine

#

same as the temperature and humidity sensors

#

or the presence/motion sensors

#

just the magnet sensors from sonoff are giving me that kind of trouble

Hi guys, I have a Sonoff ZB Dongle E that is connected to my miniPC where I have HA installed. Everything working fine. I want to test a zigbee device in a friend's house but he doesn't have any hub or dongle. My question is: I can simply unplug my dongle and use it in my friend's house right? When I connect again in my miniPC, I would have everything again?

sour shadow
#

Well... yes, but probably no

#

Depends on whether HA restores the last backup to the stick, if it does you'll likely be ok

bitter wharf
#

Under Zigbee Home Automation -> SkyConnect v1.0 devices -> does anyone know how to get the device name to display the entity name?

The device (in the GUID everywhere) seems to display the manufacturer name + model... This is almost useless at a glance anywhere in the GUID when using the UI editors.

tropic depot
#

Not sure I am following… devices and entities are different things. What are you asking?

finite jay

Yes, but no

#

The answer is complicated, but if you move it to a new HA then that'll wipe the stick and set it up fresh

The state of the lamp is wrong, if I manually switch the lamp on/off by pressing the button on top of the lamp.

Trying to remove everything

smoky anvil
#

Just add more switches lol

#

Can you stop z2m and try an energy scan? If you are on HAOS I have an addon that makes it fairly easy to do

smoky anvil
#

Sure, give me a min as I am in a ladder 10ft up

#

🤣

#

Trying to reset my patio lights

#

ok doing the scann

smoky anvil
molten linden
#

Just pick a random serial device

#

To make the form happy

smoky anvil
#

ok is running now

#

waiting for it to finish

molten linden
#

Check the log tab

smoky anvil

#

It will run continuously until addon is stopped

I am on channel 20

#

well Z2M

#

🙂

#

my hue used to run on channel 25

molten linden
#

Cool. I wanted you to run this just to prove coordinator was connecting and running okay

smoky anvil
#

but I no longer have that

molten linden
#

25 does look better but 20 is not awful

smoky anvil
#

so I am resetting everything atm, I guess start over?

#

LOL

molten linden
#

I’m kind of at a loss here.

#

You could remove a few devices and see if things start working. Hate to tell someone to start from scratch

smoky anvil
#

Its odd because I am trying to re add devices and its just budge

#

I tryed

tropic depot
#

you did try restarting z2m right?

smoky anvil
#

when it rescanns it it does not finish the interview and it fails

smoky anvil
molten linden
#

That sounds like interference to me.

#

The whole joining process is really dependent on the device

#

Coord just listens.

smoky anvil
#

I try any of my devices and even the hue lights same issue

#

I guess ill restart and do channel 25

#

shit load of devices

#

uffff

#

an all nighter

molten linden
#

Yeah. Not good.

#

Any errors on z2m startup?

smoky anvil
#

nope

#

except that deviices are unrechable

#

timing out etc...

molten linden
#

I’m not great with z2m logs, are you able to turn on debug logs and see if anything interesting happens on restart.

smoky anvil
#

nothjing really

spring olive
#

but i can't find any that don't use some obscure chinese wifi app

#

looking for something i can automate with using homeassistant

smoky anvil
#

Z2M is allowing devices in without permitting

#

Is this supposed to happen?

smoky anvil
#

rejoining all switches first

#

@analog perch changing channel and with the help of @grim igloo by removing the db file and json I am able to re add everything and no issues so far

smoky anvil
#

ALl online, Thanks @molten linden

# spring olive i'm looking for one that looks nice, preferably in oil rubbed bronze and squarei...

I have been looking for the same set of parameters as you. The U100 would be a nice option, but Aqara has encrypted the zigbee connection on this lock so it will only work with their hub (Matter compatible). The best option I’ve found so far is to purchase that lock and their hub and then use Matter with it OR purchase the Bluetooth version of the new Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch and then use an ESP32 as a BT Proxy. Neither option uses Zigbee unfortunately.

#

Let me know if you come up with another solution though.

minor hedge
#

Anyone here familiar with Aqara roller shade stuck on closing? Motor state is also stuck on declining.
I use Z2M, I read that it might have lost connection, but not sure how to diagnose that

In my living room I have a double switch. The left one is a combo switch to turn the light on (no dimmer) and control the fan with 4 speeds. The right switch is a dummy when the controls were separate.

I want to replace it with a combination that will let me dim the lights and control the fans. With a motion detector. Ideally it would be zigbee. I don't have a zwave controller yet. Though WiFi should be fine as I don't have many smart home devices on WiFi yet.
I have HA installed on a dedicated box in my home with a zigbee controller.
Just looking for suggestions

new zigbee mmwave product for less then 20 euro. icluding a pir sensor and a lumen sensor, this time on batteries

#

wonder about battery life and if this is another spammer. i kinda hope it doesn't spam as much as other tuya mmwave devices do, because its battery powered.

#

gonna order two of them and see how they are.

tropic depot
#

Tuya mmWave stuff causes mesh issues. Not sure which models but we have a bunch of logs with them hammering meshes

#

Also hadn’t read your 2nd paragraph

rigid wagon

#

So you seem to be aware 😃

rigid wagon
#

so i have hope the firmware is different and that they dont spam so much

#

if they last like a year its ok for me.

Does anyone know any UK ZigBee light switches that work without a neutral and have some kind of manual control for it HA goes offline?

#

That was worst case I can manually power cycle the bulb from the switch and it'll turn on

Have a question around Sonoff Zigbee buttons...
Have one button (SNZB-01) which I've had for ages, and use with HA no issues. Bought a second one yesterday, added it to HA this morning, but it's working differently.
Where the existing button has the correct events of "Short Press", "Double Press", and "Long Press", the new one has "Toggle", "On", and "Off" (and I can't link any automations to the button presses).
Looking at the diagnostics for the buttons, the existing one shows a quirk applied of "zhaquirks.sonoff.button.SonoffButton" which the new one doesn't (is just "zigpy.device.Device"). This isn't something I've manually done on the existing one, so I presume it should be automatic? But then what's the difference with the new one?
Or alternatively, how do I get HA to apply the correct quirk?
Edit: I have tried removing and readding the new button with the same result. Both buttons are a similar straight-line distance from the dongle.

Hey, does anyone had issues to connect mosquitto broker to Z2M after a somehow recent update ?

#

my Z2M seems to not connect to mosquitto broker after a recent update

ashen bluff
#

What do the logs say?

distant plaza
#

Zigbee2MQTT:error 2024-02-26 15:05:16: MQTT error: write ECONNRESET
Zigbee2MQTT:error 2024-02-26 15:05:16: Not connected to MQTT server!

#

and when i am reverting to old Z2M it works again ! (tried to upgrade / downgrade moquitto broker leads to the same issue on new Z2M)

#

---- Let me know if you need more detailled logs from Z2M or mosquitto

sour shadow
#

What old and new version numbers of Z2M?

ashen bluff
#

My 1.35.3 commit: fe0742a works fine.

distant plaza
#

new Z2M 1.35.3-1 and old 1.32.2-1

#

tried to reconfigure mqtt password for mqtt user/Z2M/mosquitto broker leads to the same issue

#

mqtt account works in ha when connecting locally

#

Z2M logs:

#

mosquitto logs: 2024-02-26 15:45:37: Client mqttjs_ede5b717 disconnected due to malformed packet. 2024-02-26 15:45:38: New connection from 172.30.33.1:57354 on port 1883. 2024-02-26 15:45:38: New client connected from 172.30.33.1:57354 as mqttjs_ede5b717 (p2, c1, k60, u'mqtt-user'). 2024-02-26 15:45:38: Client mqttjs_ede5b717 disconnected due to malformed packet. 2024-02-26 15:45:39: New connection from 172.30.33.1:57366 on port 1883. 2024-02-26 15:45:39: New client connected from 172.30.33.1:57366 as mqttjs_ede5b717 (p2, c1, k60, u'mqtt-user'). 2024-02-26 15:45:39: Client mqttjs_ede5b717 disconnected due to malformed packet.

#

so my guess is that the Z2M update is causing the Z2M packets to change when interacting with the mosquitto broker

#

in the config of Z2M i am still having same MQTT version 4

sour shadow
#

Nah, if that was the case it'd be broken for everybody

distant plaza
#

i will try to compare the Z2M configuration.yaml before/after update

#

same config :/

sour shadow
#

You didn't enable SSL for Mosquitto?

distant plaza
#

no, everything is happening ier normal MQTT (no SSL)

Anybody in here with a Inovelli Blue Series Fan Switch and using Z2M with HAOS? I have an odd problem... I have 3 Switches and all 3 show the wrong FW version, I am sure thats a UI problem... Shows FW V.04, Supposed to be V1.04, with that said... I have another issue and is that my Switch options are not really all the same as the rest of the world blue fan series... IE: there is a mode called: OutputMode... this mode should have Fan Mode/Exhaust mode, BUT mine shows Dimmer/On/Off.

Z2M Version: Current version: 1.35.3-1

so heads up just incase anybody here comes across it again

#

so Dimmer = Fan. On/Off = Exhaust

#

this is specific to the blue series fan switches in conjuction with blues 2 1

Error: spawn udevadm ENOENT

That's the problem, the path isn't available in Z2M

ashen bluff
#

This is a model P, right?

sour shadow
#

How are you running Z2M? Add-on? Docker? Something else?

#

"adapter":"ezsp"
Hopefully E

drowsy quarry
#

it's an E

ashen bluff

#

Yea you’re going down a bad road

drowsy quarry
#

the Dongle Plus-E was the only one availible in Norway... But this worked last week. My ISP fucked around the the fiber connection, and when it was restored z2m didn't work anymore

drowsy quarry
ashen bluff
#

Maybe. They can at least not both use the adapter.

Hey guys, I recently successfully migrated from a CC2531 to a Sonoff ZBDongle-E using Z2M.
However I cant seem to connect any devices though existing devices in the network, only though the coordinator.
Here ( https://imgur.com/a/KQyYxsd Showing Child-Parent Relations and Disabled Sibling Relation ) you can see my network.
And as you can see, the coordinator (and some devices I added since the migration) is disconnected form my network.

I tried disconnecting my Dongle for little under an hour and reconnected it, the results did not change (See: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/rebuild-zigbee2mqtt-network/483108/2).

What I want to know is if this is even fixable and if I should at all.

tacit hill
#

How do people like sonoff vs third reality zigbee outlets. Both brands seem to be liked and are about the same price. But the third reality ones also seem to have energy monitoring

carmine hamlet
#

And are partners with HA

tacit hill
#

Is that in response to me or someone above?

carmine hamlet
#

you

#

to add to:

But the third reality ones also seem to have energy monitoring

tacit hill
#

Ah. I didn't know who h one you were referring to. I do have some of their motion sensors too

grim igloo
tacit hill
#

Why not their zigbee ones? See I had meant to buy those but realized today I got the wifi ones but couldn't get their app to pair. I got the s40 version though which I found was way harder to open up

#

I'm ok with wifi but I want to prefer zigbee to help prevent things from saturating wifi too much

#

Then again I do have a good wifi AP. TP link EAP610

grim igloo
#

well as a rule of thumb sonoff generally dont have the best devices / fw

#

then the s31 (zigbee) dont have energy monitoring

#

as far as why the wifi ones, i personally consider minimizing traffic on my zigbee and zwave meshes more important than losing a bit of airtime fairness % to some wifi plugs https://digiblur.com/wiki/devices/plugs/sonoff_s31/ flashed to esphome open source fw of course

#

the thirdreality zigbee ones are proven successful here with lots of happy customers fwiw

elder surge
#

is there a way to make the zigbee map force update?

tacit hill
#

Yea I don't have many devices yet so I ended up getting the zigbee ones.

ivory shuttle
#

I used develco/frient ZigBee smart plugs

#

3rd reality's website is just so sketch and non confidence inspiring that if I'd found them before, I'd have bought the frients still

Try to integrate Tuya Zigbee Motion Sensors into HA. I have integrated a SONOFF USB Dongle Plus-P and added some Tuya Smart Plugs and motion sensors. The smart plugs work fine, can control from HA. The motion sensors I can't get to work properly. The only thing I can see from them in HA is their Firmware status. Any pointers here pls?

sour shadow
#

You're using ZHA?

simple ore
#

Did anyone had a situation when working lightbulbs go offline and ZHA is unable to connect? Pairing back does not work.

sour shadow
#

That usually points to them being outside the reach of the mesh, or interference problems

simple ore
#

one of them is 1m from coordinator

sour shadow
#
  1. Coordinator is on a USB extension cable
  2. You picked/have a Zigbee channel clear of WiFi
simple ore
#
  1. yes, it is
  2. it did not had to be for quite a while (not that it makes sense in a block of flats where 2.4GHz wifi moves through all channels all the time)
frank robin
#

have problems with wrong battery state

#

why is the battery status wrong from one minute to the next from 100 % to 24 % from 3.0 volt to 2.8 how can i fix this manually i have already tried to overwrite the states but it is always reset again

#

Should I take the battery out and put it back in?

#

I was told to contact the zigbee channel here

main ruin
#

That entirely depends on the devices firmware

#

We can't do a whole lot about that

frank robin
#

Sonoff SNZB-04

#

are there better sensors ?

sour shadow
#

Try a fresh battery, if that doesn't change the behaviour then it's a hardware problem with the device (or a second bad battery)

#

And yes, almost anything is better than Sonoff 😛

#

Xiaomi Aqara work well (with known quirks for the original range)

frank robin
#

the off in sonoff certainly comes from being OFFline more often

#

🙂

sour shadow
#

The only Zigbee thing of theirs I'd recommend would be the E stick

main ruin
#

They ran out of development budget after making this

frank robin
#

with orginal firmware or multiprotocol

#

use E-Stick with orginal

main ruin
#

Not sure if multiprotocol would be recommended at all at the moment

sour shadow
#

it's not

#

The devs recommend against it

main ruin
#

👍

sour shadow

(This has been documented in various places, but mostly nobody found those 😛 )

looking for extreme small window sensors for a sloping roof window "Velux"

sour shadow
#

The Aqara are pretty small, and if you can find them the Terncy are even smaller

frank robin
#

stripes are good but battery cannot be changed

sour shadow
#

Yeah, but 10 years out of one shrug

frank robin
#

my question is also whether smart smoke detectors are reliable and what you can recommend

main ruin
#

They tend to not make a whole lot of sense

#

Unless you be happy about getting a notification to your phone when your house is burning down

sour shadow
#

Many smart ones make for terrible smoke detectors

#

UK consumer rights agency did a review a few years back and the only one that didn't suck was Nest

#

Things have hopefully improved

#

Wouldn't want to bet my house on that though

frank robin
#

the sensor query interval depends on the device / firmware or can you set something in the homeassitant sometimes the queries or updates are too slow
