Of course, every router device repeats it, so it can cause problems

#

You have to try it and see

wise cairn
#

Did I miss this somewhere? I couldn't see this in any guide 0.0

#

it's why I got the sensation that the dimming was laggy (like in a FPS shooter with a lot of ping)

#

can z2m group and helper group coexist ?

sour shadow
#

Yes

forest cobalt

#

I want to keep my 4 helper group separated but use this special unique 20 lights group to trigger the dim action

languid sky
forest cobalt
#

Yeah, with a network coordinator, sure. But, explaining that without knowing the level of experience gets... messy... sometimes. 🙂

fierce parcel
#

and are group z2m scene needed or can I keep the same logic of my remote but switch the helper group device by a z2m group device

How? Directly on Home Assistant?

The only reason I want to install zigbe2mqtt is to change the up and down time for the Moes MS-108ZR to control the curtain properly.

The curtains didnt fully open/closed so I need to change the timings on it

#

Is it possible to do in ZHA?

3 months of no issues 😅

ok I ve just tested and It's not really better, just a bit more unified ^^'
It's still laggy but every lamp dim in same time

#

and I got a NETWORK BUSY error

forest cobalt
#

lol well yeah... you're dimming 20 bulbs at the same time. Your poor mesh is probably like "STOP IT!" 🤣

fierce parcel
#

yes, I will cut it to just handle a part of the room them.It's still 10 lamps but it's will be better

#

maybing using percent will be better than using number

#

at least now I know the limit of zigbee network ^^
for single action on large quantity of lamp, no problem, but a lot of small action, dead

forest cobalt
#

It depends on the dimmer... some will report for every dial turn and some will only report after the dial turn has stopped.

fierce parcel
#

I did manage the dial step + dial slow + dial fast and it's instant

wise cairn
#

Is it possible to migrate from ZHA to Z2M without pairing manually every device?

forest cobalt
#

So, in a nutshell... IF I were to want to transition from ZHA to Z2M and NOT create a bunch of work for myself, I would get a second coordinator, setup Z2M with that second coordinator and then start slowly migrating devices over. Yes, it still requires repairing each device, but you can take your time with it and get everything moved over without having to do it all in one shot.

Hmmmm ok. This isn’t a Zigbee issue. It’s an installation issue.

Hi all... here I was thinking I was prepared by making backups... but I botched something.

Stepping back... I have a HUSBZB-1 USB stick and was struck by the "everything zigbee dies" issues (there were a few issues file on github, but here is one: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/107334) that came if I updated past 2023.12.1 (I run in a docker container). I held off and didn't upgrade and have been hesitant to try updating HASS or anything, but knowing the longer I waited the worse it'd be, yet everything worked for the last 5 months so it wasn't a huge priority. I figured that switching to the SkyConnect would probably help since that seemed to be the safest way to go. I ordered one a long time ago and finally tried to switch.

The migration failed with an unknown error and every attempt to use the SkyConnect would brick all USB devices in all containers (ex: the Zooz 800 ZWave stick connected to a different container would disconnect). I get the sense it has to be something with the Ubuntu host I'm running on or something because I don't see how it could brick USB in a different container otherwise. I tried the firmware flashing utility and nothing worked.

Long story short, I never got the SkyConnect to work and gave up on it. Unfortunately the ZHA migration wipes the old Zigbee stick. I have a fresh ZHA backup, plus the migration process does an auto backup for ZHA, plus I have a full HA backup from moments before the ZHA migration.... however, no matter what I restore from, all of the device names are lost. Best I've managed so far is having all 64 devices connected, but with completely generic and meaningless names. I have tried restoring the zigbee.db, but that doesn't seem to work because the timestamps don't line up so ZHA won't even load.

Any ideas on how I can get the zigbee device and entity names back? Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated!

could it be the wifi problem?

I am using ZHA w conbee II on a raspberry pi 4 with latest os and supervisor. This issue I am having is adding new zigbee devices. After giving up on the first new device I bought a new one and tried that which also failed. Then I took a different brand device that was already on the network and removed it and reset it and tried to rejoin it -- now I cannot add this device either. Any tips on where I should troubleshoot? I do have zha-tools installed but I'I'm not quite sure which service to invoke to help with this problem (if any).

daring holly

all the other exisitng zigbee devices operate fine.

#

In Z2M how do I pair a new device?

#

Z2M website just says to enter pairing mode on the device

#

there is not a lot of info about pairing

Hello! When turning on my ikea tradfiri lights to low brightness levels the transition takes 1-2 seconds even though transition time is set to zero in call to light.turn on

sour shadow
#

there is not a lot of info about pairing

clear ermine
#

I'm thinking about dipping my toes into the Zigbee world to get some sensors. Are there any good recommendations for a fool proof bridge/hub that talks nicely with HA. I assume I will need one of those. Preferably something that does not have a mandatory cloud component.

#

Or would something like "Home Assistant SkyConnect" replace a custom hub?

sour shadow
#

You want a stick, not a hub

#

And yes

clear ermine
#

It seems to be pretty ok based on reviews. Bad range though, but maybe that comes with Zigbee in general.

sour shadow
#

Range from the coordinator is always short ish, but Zigbee is a mesh, so that's not a problem

#

You can expect maybe 4 to 6 meters from a coordinator, but that's more than enough

clear ermine
#

That's not enough for out house, even when HA is in the middle of it. I have no experience with mesh stuff. I assume that some/all devices that are connected work as repeaters?

sour shadow
#

Yes

#

Check the links in the top pinned message

clear ermine
#

Which integration would a SkyConnect use?

sour shadow
#

ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT

clear ermine
#

Lots to learn here.

#

Thanks for the help, I think I'll just order a SkyConnect and a couple base sensors to set up something small next to our HA for testing.

sour shadow
#

Innr plugs are great routers

#

Avoid anything Sonoff or Tuya

#

Xiaomi E1/T1/P1 are great, the original range are mostly fine

Hey, i have a aquara vibration sensor via zigbee2mqtt. Now i would do an automation with a trigger based on the current orientation of the angle but dont know how to do that... i searched a lot but didnt find anything that helped me.

You can use the attribute in a trigger

Hello, I have a Zigbee network in my apartment, and I own another apartment that is two floors above my main one, and I have ethernet cables running in the walls going from my main all the way to the second one above, could I use something like the Smlight SLZB-06 to function as a zigbee router over ethernet? will it work?

If you're going to run just Z2M on it, you could go with a rPi3b+ or even a 4. 5 would would overkill (imho) unless you want to run other stuff on it as well.

bold nymph
#

and the rPi would be connected via the ethernet which is going all the way down to the main apartment, correct?

#

Yup

@forest cobalt hey, any idea for my problem?👉👈

daring holly
sour shadow
#

Did you put the ConBee on an extension cable?

daring holly
#

yes

sour shadow
#

The ConBee is very sensitive to interference, so if you haven't moved it away from other noise that's going to be a problem

#

The Core logs for ZHA should help too

forest cobalt

😀

#

Or you're on a known Broken version of Debian/Ubuntu

If that's what you run there then it's not Debian/Ubuntu 😉

#

i am using a virtual machine from virtual box on a mac mini

#

would sending the logs of HA start up help?

#

if i go on VM settings, my mac does see it, because i can add it or remove the stick from the list

forest cobalt
#

tbf, most of the problems I see with VMs usually come from VirtualBox.

midnight mist
#

so you are telling me to switch booting process/installation?

#

whats the easiest and best for a mac?

#

i went with virtualbox because it was the first on the list on the installation page on HA website

forest cobalt
#

Are you running MacOS on it? If not, I'd setup a proxmox server. MUCH more robust and less error prone.

midnight mist
#

i am using a normal macos

forest cobalt
#

🤔 Ok, so for your immediate problem, I'd take a backup of HA, blow away the current VM and recreate it. Longer term, I'd recommend getting a mini pc and installing proxmox on it and move HA over to that. First, lots more stability both because it would be on another machine and off your Mac and secondly because proxmox has way less issues.

midnight mist
#

because i was having problems with start up

forest cobalt
#

Yeah, but take a recent backup of HA itself. When you recreate the VM, you'll use it to restore your HA instance.

forest cobalt
midnight mist
#

because thats what happened the other time i tried to recreate a vm with a backup

pine eagle
#

Maybe i found the problem. do you know how i can fix it ?

Question about pairing devices in z2m

#

Best practice to force pair routing devices directly to other nearby routing devices?

#

Or leave z2m on pair (all)?

forest cobalt
limber eagle
#

I understand that's the case for end devices just trying to build the strongest mesh possible

forest cobalt
limber eagle
#

Ok

forest cobalt
#

In my experience, end devices (especially troublesome ones) do better when initially paired with the nearest router. They may not stay on that router, but the initial pairing and stability seems to be much better doing it that way.

limber eagle
#

Yeah I figured that for end devices

#

Just wasn't sure if it made sense to add routing devices using the same principle

#

Also I have 2 bulbs I wish I could force z2m to treat as end devices as occasionally they do get powered off and that always seems to confuse everything lol

forest cobalt
#

The same principal applies to both end devices and routers.

forest cobalt
languid sky
limber eagle
#

Might switch to Bluetooth bulbs or something for these 2 as that won't jack everything up when they get shut off

I actually went with Wiz bulbs in places where they could be turned off... then I bought more Wiz bulbs... and more... and more... and... lol

limber eagle
#

The wiz do look nice. I am trying to cut down on wifi devices a bit though. Definitely something to think about.

forest cobalt
#

lol I've had this discussion before... my "cutting down" wifi devices hasn't gone well. (101 devices right now).

limber eagle
#

I may go with switchbot color bulbs as they can be controlled with Bluetooth and I know HA can pick them up. Or...just let these two be dumb 😬

#

Yeah I think you and I talked about wifi stuff a couple weeks back lol

forest cobalt
#

Probably... lol

limber eagle
#

It's a nice idea to cut down in theory haha

forest cobalt
#

Yeah, and then some new, shiny sensor comes out and I have to bulk buy. lmao

#

I'm not against having wifi stuff, I'm just trying to limit it to items with no other available options

now its detecting the manufacturer id and product id again, and seems to be working fine.. 😐

#

my understanding is you're supposed to use a usb extension and people have better experience with that.. which gives you a better signal and moves the device away from RF noise from the pc its plugged into

#

this will probaly sound weird, but future-wise, I've been wondering, can I couple proprietary zigbee hubs with the skuconnect coordinator? Like so it works as an extender for my network + its specific functions, for example add an aquara hub to my existing network, so it extends my signal + lets me use aquara-specific functions if ZHA doesn't support them

sour shadow
#

No

#

Each mesh can have one, and only one, coordinator. Each coordinator creates its own mesh.

distant wasp
#

and I guess I can't connect devices to a few meshes at the same time

#

so if I want to connect stuff via aquara hub, it'll use cloud (or homekit) and my skyconnect dongle will also be pointless, I see

sour shadow
#

Correct - devices belong to one mesh

#

And multiple meshes will be a nightmare

distant wasp
#

yeah, I'm better off keeping my skyconnect with these aqara wll switches with hubs

I've added several Aqara WXKG11LM Mini Switches to my Z2M based network in the past and am trying to add one to my newly created ZHA network. The configurator is a SiLabs based SLZB-06M in Zigbee-to-Ethernet mode. I put the end device into pairing mode and click on Add Device in the ZHA integration but it does not seem to pick it up. There are several log entries that say Feeding watchdog

(There is a TI-based USB Zigbee dongle in the system that is being used by Z2M)

Is the Aqara not a supported device in ZHA? I couldn't find a supported device list similar to the one that exists for Z2M

Having a tough time getting these OTA updates to work. I found that the ThirdReality plugs will only do an update when they have no load. TR motion sensors are iffy, somewhat better luck pulling and replacing the batteries before attempting the update. TR vibration sensor just never responds to the OTA request. It never works to try to update 2 devices at the same time (I'm using z2m). Sometimes nothing works and I have to restart the z2m addon. Hue lights took many attempts. Who's got the magic procedure which always works for all devices?

@surreal gorge ok, I put all 3 in a row (without declarations) and still "failed to probe USB device". my Z wave device connected just fine and its a USB device.

Did you restart as well? Ok next step is- get the terminal add-on, and use the "lsusb" command in the terminal to make sure the device is actually being recognized by the Pi. You use the command once to get a baseline, then plug in conbee and use it again to see if the devices have changed

@surreal gorge I did not restart. let me try that.

@surreal gorge ive downloaded and used lsusb. definitely recognized. i can also adjust setting in deconz phoscon UI (also showing latest firmware and such of the conbee ii)

same issue with same error after rpi4 restart

i guess zha cannot be used with conbee ii with its current firmware, right?

surreal gorge

It can I think

Like it uses a deconz radio protocol inside ZHA (as I understand it)

ZHA picked up my radio fairly easily

I may have manually tracked down the USB device shown by lsusb to configure it, such as "ls /dev/serial/by-id/* ”

But I can't remember now haha

Also, another piece of information. I manually set the Zigbee channel to 15, and my Wifi to channel 11 to reduce interferance. I have other Zigbee devices in my home and they seem to be working fine. I just can't reset an IKEA TRADFRI 1100 lumen bulb.

#

So I have Philips Hue stuff through ZHA set up

#

Does anyone know what can be done to check for firmware updates?

#

Zigbee device info for all the switches/lights/etc. shows the 8 digit hex code for firmware, but under "configuration" shows the firmware sensor entity as "unknown"

#

Is there a way to manually specify firmware perhaps?

weak totem
#

so my ikea remote control is getting a ota update, apparently will take 1hr and30min.. it wont run out of batteries doing this? any way to speed it up? i tried spamming the buttons but didnt do much difference it seemed

sour shadow
#

No, and no

#

Zigbee is low bandwidth, and quite reasonably OTAs don't try to take over all of that bandwidth

weak totem
#

Ok

weak totem
#

so i updated my ikea strybar remote control and it seems all the buttons are messed up now.. the left and right buttons arent working the same way they were before just the top and bottom work properly

#

is it maybe the blueprint for it thats not compatiebl with the updated firmware?

#

do blueprints receive updates too?

forest cobalt
forest cobalt
weak totem
#

so i came to realize that what isnt working is the things i put into my configuration.yaml i put a switch for my ac and i set up a fan as well and those for some reason are what isnt working anymore.. atleast not with the buttons

#

can i do a switch in a script? because when i set this up i was recommended to do this in the configuration.yaml but this was a couple years ago

#

i can post my code

forest cobalt
#

Most likely the actions that are passed from the remote in the latest firmware changed.

rapid dawnBOT

@weak totem 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.

weak totem
#

this is what i got for my fan switch:

#

ok

#

lemme repaste it

#

and it my blueprint i call a service for activating those things

forest cobalt
#

That all looks correct. So, I'm guessing you have the blueprint that defines what? Does it look at the remote actions? Are you using Z2M or ZHA?

weak totem
#

z2m

#

i got 2 buttons that are not working that are linked to the code i posted above and 2 buttosn that are linked to just scripts that are working

forest cobalt
#

Can you post the blueprint?

weak totem
forest cobalt
#

Yeah, that blueprint is OLD OLD OLD... Last updated in 2022.

weak totem
#

so that site doesnt have updated blueprints huh

forest cobalt
#

You can update it yourself or try to see if you can contact the author(s) through github. I do see there are a couple of issues created for the Strybar however.

weak totem
#

i am not sure how to find recent ones when i look on exchange its stuff from 22 and 21

#

i dont mind switching to another blueprint, just tdont know how to find one

forest cobalt
#

In the automation, you'd just trigger on sensor.[your entity name]_action == [action name]. That's really all the blueprint does anyhow.

weak totem
#

i never written a blueprint, is there a template to start from?

#

all i am trying to do is bind a few buttons to a few actions 😄

forest cobalt
#

You don't need a blueprint. Just create an automation.

weak totem
#

the thing i dont get is that from the blueprint, if i click RUN on the service i set for the left button for example and do run , it works fine.. it just doesnt happen whene i click the actual left button on the remote

forest cobalt
#

Because the remote actions probably changed. If you go to Developer States > States and watch the remote entity, you'll see the _action entity state change to one of the strings I listed in the link up there.

#

So, the blueprint is trying to match on "x" but the remote now sends "y".

weak totem
#

ah ok

#

if i am trying to make an automation for this, i need to disable the other automation before right?

forest cobalt
#

Yeah, you should.

weak totem
#

ok

forest cobalt
#

All you have to do is add more triggers for the other remote commands and then add them to the choose block and add your actions for each option.

weak totem
forest cobalt
#

It will be something like sensor.[whatever you named the entity]_action.

#

Just filter thhe list on _action.

weak totem
#

i am trying to look at sensor.remote_control_action but i dont see anything

forest cobalt
#

What about in Z2M on the Exposes screen?

weak totem
#

i see this: action: null
battery: 100
linkquality: 108
update:
installed_version: 33816593
latest_version: 33816593
state: idle
update_available: false
icon: mdi:gesture-double-tap
friendly_name: Remote Control Action

#

but nothing happens when i click anything lemme try in z2m

forest cobalt
#

action: will change VERY quickly. Like, you'll basically see it blink from the action back to null again.

weak totem
#

it doesnt

forest cobalt
#

And in Z2M?

#

Same thing?

weak totem
#

lemme check

#

ya same thing,, i did disable the automation though, should i turn that back on?

forest cobalt
#

Well, wait... so, the action does or doesn't change in Z2M.

weak totem
#

so with the automation on, it shows nothing at all in the state page but under the expose in z2m it changes to empty string"" when i push my down button

forest cobalt
#

But does it blink when you press it?

#

(the Action, I mean).

#

Bascially, I want to make sure that the remote is actually working.

weak totem
#

i honestly cant tell after i did one time.. but since my down button does work (as i mentioned its the left and right not working properly) i do see my light coming on and off as it is suppose to do with the down action

forest cobalt
#

Ahhhhhh, ok. Then it is working... I missed that, sorry 😦

#

Ok, so first write your new automation... THEN disable the old one.

weak totem
#

also this might be useful info.. when i log press the left or right button, its doing my up and down button actions

forest cobalt
#

Yup, because the action definitions have changed. They have to match what is in that list I sent you from the Z2M site.

#

You can go in and just edit the blueprint yourself or create a new automation... but in either case, the action strings have to match what the remote is sending.

weak totem
#

ya so when i was trying to make my own automation, for example i see "arrow_left_click" action i assumed that meant the left button right? so i set that as a trigger and did fan "toggle" on but nothing happens

#

so it appears it doesnt like my trigger

forest cobalt
#

What does the trigger look like?

#

Also, you said the firmware updated on it, right?

weak totem
#

ya the firmware updated earlier today and thats why eeverything started breaking

forest cobalt
#

In Z2M's About (on the device), what firmware version is it showing? Also, what version of Z2M are you running? 1.37.0 had issues with the strybar.

weak totem
#

firmware version is
2.4.11 and build date is 20240408

forest cobalt
#

It seems that firmware version 2.4.11 broke the left/right actions.

#

What about Z2M version?

weak totem
#

Zigbee2MQTT version
1.37.1

forest cobalt
#

Ugh, that thread is a hot mess... lol

weak totem
#

ya lol

forest cobalt
#

So, one guy said reconfiguring it helped... might as well try that.

#

(and my hatred for Ikea gear continues lol)

weak totem
#

i trieed that at the very beginning i believe but lemme try again

#

oh yeah i remember the error message now:

forest cobalt
#

I'm kinda running out of solutions here... I don't have the Strybar remote, but I've been testing with the older 5 button remote and that one works fine. Might be worth posting over in the Z2M discord as well and see if they have any solutions that I'm not thinking of.

ah lemme do it

lmao seriously?

yes

forest cobalt
#

So, all it needed was a reconfigure... hahaha

weak totem
#

i must not of waken it up before reconfigure

forest cobalt
#

Ok, well, thanks for using Ikea support today 🙂 🤣

weak totem
#

i forget about "wake before" you do anything 😄

#

so in the future if i wanted to do an automation, what would i use as a trigger for left click? it wasan the one i listred above?

forest cobalt
#

Yup

#

Honestly, I tend to avoid blueprints unless I write them and typically just use a combo of automations and scripts, but that's just my personal preference.

weak totem
#

i can understand the preference, this is the only blueprint i use

forest cobalt
#

But, you can also open the logbook in HA, select your device and then click all the buttons. Then you know exactly what is being sent from the remote to the _action entity.

weak totem
#

so i just made a test automation real quick and the trgger for left arrow action actually works, while prior to reconfigure it didnt

forest cobalt
#

Ok, then just write yourself a simplified automation to handle the buttons you actually use. 🙂

weak totem
#

i wasnt ablve to see that state thing you mentioned

forest cobalt
#

In Developer Tools?

#

Or the logbook?

weak totem
#

in the logbook, it just shows like this : Fan Medium turned off triggered by automation Controller - IKEA E2001/E2002 STYRBAR Remote control triggered by event 'state_changed'

#

that is the blueprint listed there

#

Question: is the network visualization completely useless? Because right now I have two devices that refuse to reconnect, and the visualization claims that they’re meshed to about a dozen other repeaters, including ones that are online and about ten unobstructed feet away from them… It’s quite frustrating…

forest cobalt

#

They’re all plugs. So they’re all getting mains power and all online all the time. I really don’t understand how the mesh can get so messed up and then simply quit. I know my place has a lot of interference, but right now everything is turned off and these devices still refuse to come back online.

ah thanks forgot about that link, i had 30 links opened lol

forest cobalt
#

lmao no worries 🙂

weak totem
#

so if i make my own automation for this, then i can get rid of that helper entity that the blueprint needed?

#

maybe i just leave this as is since its working again i guess

forest cobalt
#

Yup

#

Either or, like I said, I'm not a huge fan of blueprints unless I write my own. Typically I can accomplish most stuff via automations and scripts and for more complicated stuff I'll drop to raw Python.

yup i will convert it eventually sooner or later for sure since what u got is relatively straightforward

#

But that really seems limited to ZHA though. I've seen much more consistency in Z2M labelling of versions.

shell frigate
#

I’ll just wait until we’re closed, turn everything off, and then just update them one at a time. There’ll be less interference then anyway.

#

Might as well update them to the latest version.

forest cobalt
#

Yeah, given you have what, 49 of them to update?

shell frigate
#

I forgot that some of them are actually zigbee power strips

forest cobalt
#

But, personally, the latest firmware has been pretty solid for me so far, but it's only been baking for a couple of days now.

#

lol you expanded?!

#

Or did you consolidate?

No no, I think I had too many devices so I consolidated

forest cobalt
#

Gotcha... yeah... you were getting close to "omg too many routers!!!" lol

shell frigate
#

I feel like I’m still there!

#

I plan on adding more plugs….

forest cobalt
#

So, rather than adding zigbee plugs (and getting close to over 50 routing devices), I'd take a look at maybe splitting them up between wifi and maybe z-wave plugs. That way, you can kinda spread the load around and not have a super busy mesh. Just something to think about.

#

Either that or think about setting up a second mesh... Anything you can do to reduce the load would probably be a good thing especially considering the environment you have.

My wife picked up a wifi strip from Costco made by Feit Electric, which is Tuya on the backend. Been using Tuya Local to control it but now the light strip is repeatedly DCing from wifi and in general acting really screwy (after about a year).

I'm having a strange problem. ZHA thinks the one I just plugged in was added successfully but I don't see the CO2 reading entity, even though it seems to exist if I reconfigure:

Careful with those, my testing of a tuya voc box like that showed, it’s great for testing as it spams the network reporting every 1-2 seconds multiple attributes

I'll kepp an eye on it thanks. Right now, it doesn't seem to be reporting anything

#

TuyaAirQualityCO2
Attribute
min/max/change

#

That's what reconfigure says but the only entities listed in device info aer Firmware, LQI and RSSI

pine swan

#

Likely but with tuya there are literally maybe a 100 different TS0601 devices. It’s the random string after which really defines it.. plus a of the same looking device could have different random strings = tuya

Very low. My Sengled bulbs self-report 0.4W.

My kitchen Aqara leak detector has always had a hard time connecting to the coordinator. Now, I have six Zigbee can lights / routers down there that have a very solid signal.

I've tried re-pairing it to no avail. Do I need to forget the device to get it to connect to one of the lights as its parent?

sour shadow
#

Are you trying to pair it through one specific light, or letting it pick?

rotund night
#

I'd let it pick. They're all close enough that it wouldn't really matter.

I wish you could just draw a line in the connection graph. 🙂

sour shadow
#

Don't let them pick

#

The only Aqara's you let pick their own route are the E1/T1/P1 ranges

#

The original ones are dumb and pair to the first thing they hear - see the pinned messages

rotund night
#

Well, crap. That explains it. Ledvance RT RGBW recessed color light.

Looks like I'll just get a different model for the kitchen and use that one upstairs.

ZHA: Pick the light device, you'll see the option there

yay got it to work once

#

now wheres the button to add a device in z2m?

sour shadow

At the top of the window

rotund night

forest cobalt
silk vortex
#

it says coordinator and all

forest cobalt
#

Do you have any devices paired? I don’t see any devices.

silk vortex
#

no, i need this just for one device that isnt working/supported in zha

forest cobalt
#

Ah, ok. Then just pair to the coordinator.

silk vortex
#

isn't the coordinator the usb stick thats plugged in?

forest cobalt
#

Yup. But since you don’t have any routing devices paired up in Z2M, that’s the only choice you have. 🤷‍♂️

silk vortex
forest cobalt
#

Click on the button that says “Permit Join (Coordinator)”

#

Then pair your device.

silk vortex
#

okay, now a timer is counting down and the device blinks (pairing mode)

#

how long is it supposed to take? in zha the device pairs in a few seconds

forest cobalt
#

Give it a minute (usually less). You might need to get close to the coordinator for it to pair.

forest cobalt
silk vortex
silk vortex
forest cobalt
#

Just for the record, Zigbee doesn’t like a routerless mesh.

silk vortex
#

nope, pairing timed out (device stopped blinking) and nothing appeared on the z2m dashboard

forest cobalt
#

What kind of device is it?

silk vortex
forest cobalt
#

Ah, while it’s pairing, click a button every second or so to keep it awake.

silk vortex
#

will try

#

i did the full pairing cycle again (until it stopped blinking) next to the stick while constantly pressing buttons but the z2m dashboard is still empty

#

join timer is still at like 2 mins

forest cobalt
#

The only thing I can think of is that your coordinator just isn't liking the device. Not all devices will direct connect to a coordinator. Plus, some devices can take multiple attempts to pair (something weird that Z2M does sometimes). I've had some devices that I had to pair 5 or 6 times. 🤷‍♂️

silk vortex
#

hmm. seems like zha doesnt want to pair it anymore either

#

thats concerning

#

i had it pair fine there a few times already

forest cobalt
#

Are you sure it's in pairing mode? Like really, REALLY sure?

#

Fresh batteries in it too?

#

(or at least good batteries?)

silk vortex
forest cobalt
#

Hmmmm... I dunno then. it should pair up pretty quickly.

silk vortex
#

such a pain

#

why cant zha just get more device support so i wont need 2 zigbee sticks in the first place :c

austere patio

austere patio
#

What coordinator are you using?

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Without a packet capture or a debug log it's hard to say why you aren't getting events, that coordinator shouldn't have limitations with group messages (if that's what your device is using to communicate)

silk vortex
austere patio
#

The ZHA toolkit stuff isn't all that useful, a proper debug log is best

rapid dawnBOT
#

@silk vortex I converted your message into a file since it's above 15 lines :+1:

📎 message.txt
austere patio
#

That's the debug configuration. The log would be in your HA log. You can also just click "Enable debug logging" on the integration, click all the buttons on the remote, and then "disable debug logging" to download one.

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Yep

#

They won't be visible in hass because they're sent as events, they're not entities

silk vortex
#

will do after the esphome updates finished, thanks

austere patio
#

Which coordinator are you actually using? The v2 and the other one are completely different

silk vortex
#

zha says it's using /dev/serial/by-id/usb-ITEAD_SONOFF_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus_V2_20230221140743-if00 so z2m is using the other one https://i.vgy.me/Bw3tCC.png

austere patio
#

If you're using the v2, there may be a relatively simple solution

silk vortex
#

huh what

#

but i removed it, and when i tried to re-pair it never even came up with interview

#

anyway, imma reboot my hass now with the debugging back on and try to get a log for ya, which makes it convinient that its still paired

austere patio
#

I would double check the "last seen" time after you click a remote button

#

If it doesn't update, the remote isn't sending anything (or is communicating in a way your coordinator can't understand)

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Yes

silk vortex
#

will test that when hass has restarted, usually takes 5-7mins

austere patio
#

You can also just click "enable debug logging" in the ZHA integration page, it doesn't require restarting HA 😄

silk vortex
#

will that also enable debug logging for the other related zigbee stuff? or is that unnecessary anyway? :o

austere patio
#

It enables that exact config

silk vortex
#

ohh lol

#

now im smarter for the next time :D

Hello! Anyone got an idea why suddenly after updating to the lastest HA core, 1 out of 2 Aqara FP1 had their "occupancy" sensor unavailable?

So one of the FP1 is working on both illuminance and motion, but the other only has illuminance working and motion is "unavailable"

I'm using Z2M with ConBee II

soft mirage
#

Maybe stupid question, but I don't find a clear answer.
I am using an conbee 2 stick with ZHA integration on my hassos.
I have one device that is missing a quirk for zha, but there is a quirk for Z2M.
I know I can't use my coordinator with both integration simultaneously, but will my ZB network be recognized by Z2M if I disable zha and use it in Z2M instead?
Or do I need to reconnect all my devices again?

fathom ginkgo
#

You need to reconfigure the network, yeah

#

I tried both ZHA and Z2M and I prefer Z2M over ZHA

#

with conbee II

soft mirage
fathom ginkgo
#

I am currently debating wheter or not I should try the sonoff ZBDongle-P which I have laying around. I am not too happy with my ConBee II

#

But the need to reconfigure is putting me off

soft mirage
#

I having my hassos on a VM, and the USB port forward is sometimes a little messy after HA reboots. Because of this I am interested in a LAN coordinator.
Any tips on what to buy that works out of the box with both zha and z2m?

gentle owl
#

I just got my ZBDongle-P yesterday and it was a breeze to set up, I've only set up 4x hygrometers atm though

austere patio
silk vortex
austere patio
#

I assume you have ZHA configured to use the v2, right?

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Well both sticks are passed through, only one is being used by ZHA

#

So if it's the v2, give the above firmware a try

silk vortex
#

will do

#

can i just unplug it without anything else? or will i loose pairing when it tries to use the v3 stick in the meantime?

austere patio
#

You can just unplug it. ZHA will reload when you plug it back in (after like 20-30s)

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Click "Change firmware" and manually specify the file I attached above

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Yep

silk vortex
#

okay lets see

#

i hope i dont loose any other zigbee devices/entities from that since im technically downgrading if i read correctly

#

can i just unplug the stick after it finished? windows doesnt offer any safe removal option

austere patio
#

You're upgrading from 6.10.x. The web flasher offers you 7.3.x because that's the latest version that it has around, the firmware I linked to above is 7.4.2

silk vortex
#

ill try plugging it back into hass

soft mirage
grim igloo
#

but lately i'm seeing people suggest end users be beta testers with efr32 and z2m :x

austere patio
#

Can't turn beta into stable by steering everyone away 😄

grim igloo
#

SLZB-06 is what i would buy if i was using z2m

#

or the p7 variant (more ram for bigger routing table i believe?)

#

i guess the p10 is an even newer version havent seen that before

grim igloo
soft mirage
#

SMLIGHT SLZB-06 would be my second coordinator to use with Z2M, to get my device that needs a zha quirk up and running.
Maybe I keep my conbee 2 to use with ZHA.
Thinking there will always be some device that only works with only one of them 🙄

soft mirage
austere patio
#

Every single chip has completely different firmware and to communicate with the coordinator firmware, the software needs a lot of code

soft mirage
#

So I need/should research what ZB chip of the four above that works best with both zha and z2m 😵

austere patio
#

Any of the CC2652/newer ones or newer EFR32MG2x chips. Conbee works as well as it can with both but it's not amazing.

grim igloo
#

pick PoE or not, pick efr32 or cc2652p, pick p2 or p7 or p10 if cc2652p, buy

soft mirage
#

So confused. Stupid questions to come.

Efr32 and cc2652p are different ZB chips?

What is then p2 p7 p10??

grim igloo
#

i believe they're just increased ram and otherwise the same actual chip

#

i have a cc2652p7 PoE based coordinator

#

i think the majority of people would never notice a difference between the three in most cases

soft mirage
#

Ah, the p-number stuff is alternations of cc2652p?

grim igloo
#

yeah

soft mirage
#

Ok. Something learned. Thanks guys 🙏🏻

Any known pros/cons between cc2652p vs efr32?

grim igloo
#

depends who you ask 😛

soft mirage
#

For now, you 🙂

grim igloo
#

i'd personally consider cc2652p more stable than efr32 and my experience with end users (not the code) tells me efr32 is still beta at best, especially with z2m and especially with large networks

#

and that is a common sentiment not just my own opinion

#

with that being said, apparently efr32 based coordinators are actually better after a certain threshold of devices added to the mesh. I'm not sure if there's any concrete evidence other than "this works for me" "this broke my mesh" etc in a lot of scenarios

#

my understanding is that other than a few paid people, zigbee (z2m and zha) are basically dependent on the open source community to fix bugs and add features and there are certain "areas" of each project that feel a bit more empty compared to the other

soft mirage
#

Compatibility with both zha and z2m would be good.
I prefer zha because of less dependencies (mqtt) and quite easy to set up.
But I also of course need my devices to work, and if that requires z2m, so be it.🤷

Good explanation between the different chips, I am not ready to be a beta tester.
I barely handle the HA world as it is 😳

grim igloo
#

home assistant is easy what are you having issues with?

soft mirage
grim igloo
#

how are you running home assistant...

soft mirage
#

A virtualbox VM on my win10 server.

#

A bit of topic, but I got HA up and running with reasonable effort.
But soon you need to write some yaml code here and there to set stuff up, and that requires a lot of search and reading to get right when you have absolutely zero understanding of writing code.
How a misplaced space can broke something is just crazy in my world.

Anyhow, New thought...
A usb device can't use different drivers at the same time (zha/z2m)
But a network device is not "locked" in the same way.
Do you think it possible to set up both zha and z2m to use the same lan coordinator?

grim igloo
#

no man a zigbee coordinator is controlled by one thing

#

and you shouldnt need to write any yaml unless you do advanced automations or the rare integration that needs it but usually i'm yaml free out of choice

silk vortex
austere patio
#

Any change with the new firmware if you use an automation trigger?

silk vortex
#

the buttons also still dont show up as entities

austere patio
#

They won't, button presses will be events

silk vortex
#

why not tho? they could easily just be binary sensors and make it much easier to see whats going on

soft mirage
# grim igloo no man a zigbee coordinator is controlled by one thing

Oki.

In my opinion I don't have a very complicated setup, but still I need to write some code here and there.
Recently I was given a tip to edit some system file by ssh for zha to fix a problem that my coordinator loses connection with ZHA after a HA reboot.
Took an hour to figure out how to connect thru ssh to ha, but then I didn't figure out how to find the file I should edit.
My automations run outside HA in MSR (multi system reactor by togglebits)

Anyway, thank you for tips and explanations around the ZB chips.
Much appreciated

silk vortex

Hmm, looks like the coordinator is still filtering packets. I'll order one and see what isn't working. It should work with the CC2652 (the other Sonoff stick).

silk vortex
austere patio
#

No need. It also doesn't run the same firmware

#

They may have the same name but they're completely different products with completely different chips

silk vortex
#

ahh, so just do the "migrate radio" option in zha?

austere patio
#

Yeah. If you can, record a log after migrating and see if it works after that

silk vortex
#

I'll do a full HASS backup before doing that tho

#

just in case y'know

austere patio
#

Nothing will break (and also if it does, you can't restore by restoring a backup because the stick maintains state)

silk vortex
#

wdym can't restore? OHhh

#

what about the DOWNLOAD BACKUP button in the zha integration page?

austere patio
#

ZHA maintains all known network settings in your /config/zigbee.db file

#

When you change them or switch adapters, the old settings will still be there and will be used for migration

silk vortex
austere patio
#

It's in there too. The settings have to be explicitly written to the adapter though, which is what migration does. If you restore a HA backup, the settings on the stick won't change, they'll have to be written separately with the migration flow

silk vortex
#

ahhh. thanks for explaining. it won't hurt to have them as part of the backup then tho, even in the offchance they magically corrupt whích is unlikely but not impossible given how unreliable sdcards are in pis

sometime this week I'll be setting up ha on a asustor nas and was wondering if I should use zha or z2m for the following devices

Aqara Smart Wall Switch H1 EU (No Neutral, Single Rocker) WS-EUK01
Aqara Wireless Mini Switch WXKG11LM

I want to be able to do the following
turn off the light on the h1
turn off the light on the sp 242
set events for single, double and long clicks on the mini stitch

forest cobalt
#

Honestly, it's up to you. Z2M tends to add new devices faster and can be setup to run outside of HA (for redundancy). ZHA tends to be slower to add devices since quirks are usually shipped with each HA release, but you can add quirks yourself. Both have pros and cons. Plus, what coordinator are you going to be using?

sorry I forgot to say

SONOFF ZBdongle-P

You have two separate Sonoff sticks. The first one you flashed correctly. The second one needs to be re-flashed with firmware. You can look up online how to flash the Sonoff P dongle.

silk vortex

@austere patio this is the old stick (which i was using before with zha) not the one i bought new and also not the one i flashed https://i.vgy.me/KAEErd.png

#

the new stick (without V2) was the one i flashed and it's the one that doesnt get recognized by the flasher now

austere patio

Right. You can't migrate because the stick is throwing an NVRAM write error, which happens when the stick's firmware is corrupted and needs to be fixed by reflashing the firmware. Bad coincidence...

You flashed everything correctly. Your Sonoff P stick (the one you didn't flash) can't accept new network settings because its NVRAM is corrupted so to fix it you need to re-flash its firmware. Totally unrelated

Right. Because its NVRAM is corrupted. And the only way to fix it is to flash the firmware for that stack again. You probably didn't run into issues because it's only a problem you encounter when forming a network, not while running one.

Your two sticks use completely and utterly different firmwares, flashers, and so on. You can use https://zig-star.com/radio-docs/zigstar-multi-tool/ to flash it, the Z2M firmware repo has a page to show you what firmware to install to your stick.

Hi guys, I’m trying to enhance the zigbee signal in my house and bought a Sonoff router but that didn’t work/pair with Home Assistant. Do you recommend any other device for that? I’m looking for something that’s a strong signal repeater and can cover the other half of the house or at least 1000 sq ft. I don’t want to use “other devices” such as plugs as signal repeaters

ashen bluff
#

What does your setup and mesh look like? Which devices do you have? You might want to research zigbee range. Expecting a single router to do that range is more than optimistic.

There's exactly zero chance you'll get one router to cover 1000 sq ft of a house - of an open space with no obstructions sure, but once you add walls and stuff...

Well, it's a Z2M requirement of the new ember driver. Logs mention the required EZSP protocol version:

At some point, 7.4.x.x will probably be considered stable enough and pushed to the web installer without needing to use a manual file.
ZHA works with all EZSP protocols/firmware versions though, so it's not an issue there.

is there an IRC room somewhere or a discord server to talk about zigbee development? I'm building zigbee stuff and so far the siliconlabs forum is the only place I've found

Hello, I am looking to see if someone (a company ) sells just a keypad that I can buy so I can just like punch in numbers to set scenes and such. Is this the right channel for this topic or is there a better one. If so let me know and I can move it.

mbruce thank you for assisting. I did look at those prior and infact have one but those control just a few things what I am looking for something like looks like those ones for smart locks but I dont want the lock part. Or like a garage door keypad on the outside of garages.

Hi everyone! New member here but have been using HA for over two years now. Recently, I ran into something that I have never seen and have no idea how to fix. I haven't been able to find anything about this online anywhere, so hopping someone here can help. I have a zigbee2mqtt server with the mosquitto broker on HAOS running on its own mini pc. The issue I am having is when I press a specific wireless button to trigger my basement lights, my new aqara switch triggers in the pantry. This aqara switch is not in ANY automation, scene, script, etc. It won't turn off when the button is pressed, only on... Anyone have any idea what is causing that? Thanks

Nope, I have reset the button and switch twice and it still happens 🤷‍♂️

#

Also, for whatever reason, the pantry light does not show up in the logs...

grim igloo
#

yeah it's a direct zigbee connection somehow

#

i'll have to let someone else jump in to help you diagnose that

lunar heart
#

But does that make sense if it only turns the light on?

grim igloo
#

i know some random devices have stuff enabled by default (that shouldn't be) that will do weird things

#

sometimes it starts up, sometimes it doesn't

#

i am at the latest firmware for my skyconnect adapter,.. still no use

#

any other things i can try?

Join the Z2M Discord where you'll find the ember developer

#

Google suggests that that error can mean that you've got the wrong baudrate

Can you change radio strengths in ZHA?

forest cobalt
#

AFAIK, no (maybe with zha_toolkit and only if your adapter supports it). But, changing that doesn't really do much. You'd be adjusting the strength the coordinator sends out a signal. You can't do anything for the devices that need to send a signal back. It's like someone shouting at you while you can only reply with a whisper. You'll hear them for sure, but they won't hear your response.

#

But, that begs the question... why do you want to do it?

mellow geode
#

It’ll only change the transmit power for the coordinator of course

forest cobalt
#

Thanks @mellow geode I couldn't remember if that was a config setting or something with the toolkit.

If I have a smart bulb (that’s a router)… if I connect device to it and then I remove the bulb…will those devices automatically connect to other routers on the mesh?

grim igloo
#

in theory maybe in reality probably not and it's device dependent

#

some devices are better than others at trying to grab new routes but what you've described is something that isnt suggested (killing power to repeaters)

fallow remnant
#

What about a power outage?

grim igloo
#

still dependent on devices

#

i think hue devices get new routes on every power up?

#

but either way they still have some nvram to store routes and other info i believe

I was hoping to reduce the sensitivity of a mm wave sensor

Does anyone have advice on resetting an IKEA 1100 lumen bulb?

humble lodge
#

It's a Tuya sensor

fallow remnant
#

It's blinking on/off.... but I can't add it to my network.

#

it's blinking yellow on/off and once inawhile a white long blink will be there...

humble lodge

#

Sometimes it's a few bursts of long white.

#

toggle on/off 6 times. and then turn it ON?

#

just quickly on/off?

forest cobalt
# humble lodge It's a Tuya sensor

I know and I'll give you crap about that later... but, do you know the exact model number of it? I might be able to figure out how to tune the sensitivity down on it (if it supports it).

Ok, so not completely sure as I use Z2M, but I think you can adjust the motion detection sensitivity in ZHA in the device properties..

Do you have it in an app?

#

If you delete them from an app it usually puts them back in pairing mode

LOL. Thanks @forest cobalt I'm gonna bring it in.

Yeah, no clue what cluster it might be... It may not be able to be set from ZHA.

Hi, I have a quick question regarding Tradfri. I have the small tradfri switch and a tradfri light bulb. I connected them two directly, so currently none of them are connected to HA (zha). I would now like to add the switch in HA, but leave the light bulb outside of HA. Is it possible to add the switch to HA and still have it connected to the light bulb? I really like the slow turn on/off, which I couldn't get with another light bulb and automation. Thanks!

#

I'd basically then do an automation when I press some other button (or just turn on/off the Tradfri button in HA) and have it turn on/off the Tradfri button - which I then assume, if still connected to the light bulb, would make it turn on/off slowly with the fsde.

#

Or is there any way that I can to the fade in the HA itself?
