just regular ZHA and the skyconnect

austere patio
#

Is your SkyConnect on the USB extension cable?

uncut pelican
#

oh it's not 😅

austere patio
#

And away from USB 3.0 devices, SSDs, 2.4GHz WiFi APs, etc.?

uncut pelican
#

ha hard to avoid since its such a small apartment 😅
its about 4m away from my router but around it theres the TV / console / pc that all have wifi access

austere patio
#

4m is plenty far but I would keep it away from anything else, Zigbee is very "quiet" compared to WiFi and they share frequencies

uncut pelican
#

ah yeah, i already tried setting it to channel 25

austere patio
#

Is that when your devices started dropping off?

uncut pelican
#

no it started this morning after HA Core updated and a reboot was triggered

austere patio
#

I would start by downloading diagnostics for the ZHA integration, it'll list channel utilization for all of the channels

uncut pelican
#

hmm ok, lemme see

austere patio
uncut pelican
#

the plot thickens, i was in a reboot when you just mentioned the diagnostics, now after finishing the startup i get
Failed to set up: Network settings do not match most recent backup

austere patio
#

Can you screenshot the repair?

uncut pelican
#

ok a reconfigure from a backup earlier today made it work again, nowjust looking at if all devices find the network again

#

diagnostics

austere patio
#

Why is your network on channel 22?

#

I would change the channel again but leave the dialog on "auto". It will probably pick 20. 22 isn't a "safe" channel because it overlaps heavily with common WiFi channels.

uncut pelican
#

yeah i picked 25 initially but the backup i just wrote into it has put it back into auto i think? 🤔

#

in energy scan is higher number better signal or "more interference" ?

austere patio
#

Zigbee can't really automatically change channels, auto tells ZHA to scan your environment and pick the best channel from the scan

#

Higher means that a stronger signal (or noise) was detected on the channel. That's usually worse.

uncut pelican
#

ok so i should go for the channel with the lowest number right?

austere patio
#

Leave it on auto 😄

rapid dawnBOT
#

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

📎 message.txt
austere patio
#

Any Zigbee channels other than 15, 20, and 25 directly overlap with the three common WiFi channels. That's why ZHA will pick the best channel from the list, with a bit more logic to avoid channels next to really noisy ones. From your scan, auto would probably decide on channel 20.

uncut pelican
#

ok just switched so far 6 are connected, 9 more are unknown so far

austere patio
#

It'll take about half an hour. Mains-powered devices like bulbs should switch within a minute, sensors may take a while

#

If they're older Aqara, they may not switch

uncut pelican
#

all the stuff i have is new
mostly aqara H1 / contact/vibration/PIR sensors

#

the P1 for the PIR

austere patio
#

The contact and vibration may be old

uncut pelican
#

model name of contact would be mccgq11lm

#

though i also have 2 that are of the T1 variety dw-s03d

austere patio
#

Yeah, that's an "old" one that doesn't really implement much of Zigbee and isn't advertised as being a Zigbee device. It works but it doesn't support features like this, unfortunately.

uncut pelican
#

wait wich one is the old one?

#

so the ones i have look like rounded squares,
but the latest gen would be the items with the blobby design?

#

thats currently my connection status...

Switched from ZHA to Z2M. Have a 4-button battery wall switch. In ZHA, the button presses came up right away as Triggers in an automation. Now on Z2M, I can see the button presses in the logbook in the device, but they aren't coming up as Triggers. How can I add?

#

the only trigger option exposed right now is "battery level changes"

mellow geode
#

Do you see any exposed entities on the device page?

heady sleet
#

Just an "Action" sensor, and the Battery under DIagnostic. I can see the action changes in the logbook on the device page as I go through the different button clicks

mellow geode
#

You should be able to automate based on the state of that action/event sensor, I think.

If I run HA on a raspberry pi, should I get a 4? 5? does it matter?

void patrol
#

Did you ever find a Zigbee siren that can do a standard door chime?

lilac wharf
#

@void patrol sadly not

graceful elm
#

I don't think anything standards compliant would support that, I was looking at adding Zigbee to the old alarm siren in the house and the ISA WD cluster only supports the Start Warning and Squawk commands

I'm very new to HA - I have the docker version of HA running on a pi, with currently around 6 sensors and basic automation. I'm trying to get a DIY rain gauge working using a zigbee acquara door sensor to send the signal (per https://community.home-assistant.io/t/diy-zigbee-rain-gauge/255379 ). I had paired the device before gutting it, and it was working okay, but after I'd soldered everything together I was having issues getting it to register and I deleted/readded the device (which is where I think I may have screwed things up). When I toggle the switch now I get a signal coming through, but it's showing up as an unknown device in the home-assistant.log:

2024-08-27 10:52:43.115 WARNING (MainThread) [zigpy.application] Unknown device AddrModeAddress(addr_mode=<AddrMode.NWK: 2>, address=0x319D)
2024-08-27 10:52:43.330 WARNING (MainThread) [zigpy.application] Unknown device AddrModeAddress(addr_mode=<AddrMode.NWK: 2>, address=0x319D)```

is it possible I've fried the sensor when I was soldering (definitely not my forte!). I'm assuming that this is unlilkely if it's sending a signal - would be odd to fry it to the point where it all worked, except the device id has changed.      

I'm thinking maybe there is a device file somewhere I can edit to add that address field? I can't see anything in the HA UI in that device

heya guys after relocating my HA Green to another part of the apartment (better reception/less EMF) i've been having the issue of the skyconnect just not doing anything

I tried with and without extension cable
I tried rebooting
I tried updating the Skyconnect to the latest firmware (via PC)
(it reports the new Firmware correctly as: 7.4.3.0 build 0)
I tried Hardware>Configure>Configure for Zigbee

When starting it shows the device, but then the "Last Seen" remains the timestamp of the start-up (or re-plug)

All zigbee devices report with battery status, the visualisation looks good
but any command send just ends in ZIGBEE DELIVERY FAILED 3074
Also while everything is reporting, the "Last Seen" timestamp has been from when i moved the device to a new location.

#

TLDR: 100% of my zigbee devices are out-of-order

#

Also tried disconnecting a wired device completely
HA still claims its available (though with the last seen: timestamp still from the moment i first relocated the device)

uncut pelican
#

tried to migrate to a "new" radio, didnt got anything out of that
tried re-pairing a device, but the searching... page remains empty

Does anyone have experience with Ali express zigbee hubs? Trying to set up in ZHA and can't get it to connect to the hub. Working on my phone in the Tuya app.

sour shadow
#

What hub?

#

None of them will work with ZHA unless designed as network connected coordinators, which by definition a hub isn't

edgy moth
#

Brand new to zigbee so I'm not too sure if its a coordinator, but I don't see that mentioned on the page

orchid tundra
#

don't use that if you're planning on using it with HA. It technically is a coordinator, but it's intended to connect stuff to the Tuya platform and won't work with HA

You may be able to flash it with Tasmota or similar, but buy something listed in the pinned message

zha

heady sleet
# forest cobalt Z2M usually exposes the Action as a string in the sensor state, so triggers won’...

Trying to get a little more clarity on this. So when I do the Entity state change in the automation, I can fill in the Attribute (with no options in the dropdown), From (with just Any State, Unavailable and Unknown as the options) and To (same options as from).

This particular switch has 4 buttons, and each button has 3 different press actions (short, double, and long). All of those were recognized in the logs (eg, Action changed to 4_hold, Action changed to 3_single, etc).

So now just trying to figure out how to get these into the automation

# sour shadow Leave `attribute` alone

What I'm confused about is how to specify which button press action. The device has 12 potential actions (4 buttons with 3 types of button presses each) but I don't know how to make them appear as an option in the automation creation.

Hello, anyone know how to add link with z2m between an interrupter and a z2m group of lights ?

anyone know what I can do to resolve my issue ?

#

I m using a philips remote with philips light and the link is created but the remote doesn't respond

#

maybe because the remote use a endpoint 1 and the light an endpoint 11, but I can't configure it during the link creation

Alo all,

I have a question regarding RGB lightbulbs.
I want to configure scripts to dim the light from 100% to a lower amount and some scripts to change color of the lamps on particulair events. But how can i achieve this?

I have this sensor to turn on and off the light: light.Overloop_lamp_Lamp_1_licht
This sensor has got these attributes:
min_color_temp_kelvin: 2000
max_color_temp_kelvin: 7042
min_mireds: 142
max_mireds: 500

so, in short, I'm looking for 4 replacement units, to repalce these ZBMINI-L devices, no neutral wire, and most importantly, I want to find switches that can be binded to my basement button, (the ZBMINI-L didn't allow me to bind the button to them directly...too bad)

#

I've just set up a zigbee switch device thing, however it's showing up in HA as a light. Is it possible to change this? At the very least change it into a switch entity instead of a light? I'm using ZHA

I've reconfigured it and nowhere in the details does it say light, just an on_off attribute

#

I've checked the generic_device_class and generic_device_type attributes and they all say None

It's most likely 1, 2, or 11. You're already looking in the right place, so 1 it is.

If it's only 1 switch it's likely 1

heavy hornet
#

Ah perfect thank you! I'll give that a try

#

Is "fan" a valid device type? I assume so?

mellow geode
#

I'd recommend changing the ZHA device type to switch and then changing the switch to a fan using the UI. It'll create a new "Switch as X" entity and hide the original switch one.

#

which github repo would I submit new zigbee/zha issues to?

winged sleet
#

Hello all! I'm having a very frustrating issue with Zigbee and hope maybe someone can help me out. I have a modest 47 device Zigbee network (also have over 90 Z-Wave and a bunch of other stuff as well) running on a Sonoff Dongle 3.0 running the latest firmware (just flashed) of 20240710. In addition I have two additional Sonoff Dongle 3.0's flashed as routers on the furthest reaches of the house. In between the 13 battery devices are numerous mains devices, at least two within 10-12 feet of any battery device. I'll know you'll ask, yes I've not only followed Hedda's guide, but have even spoken with him.

All that being said, my issue is that I seem to have reached some kind of cap on my Zigbee network where every device works great but it won't add any new devices via ZHA and I'm well below the limit of 200 devices. I do run an Orbi mesh where the main sits on channel 6 and the satellites on 5-10 side channels and a secondary wifi network sitting on channel 11. Zigbee is set for channel 11 and the diags show that 11 and 12 are the best channels to be on (again, current Zigbee is working and is fast). For interference I seem to be in the butter zone, I've even made sure all my Shelly's and what-not misc AP's are turned off.

I'm not trying to add obscure Chinese devices, they are always main brand - and in this case Inovelli Blue switches (although I've tried others with no success) that always show up in ZHA in seconds, now (and through MANY factory resets) just will not connect.

Any ideas of what else I could try or may have overlooked?

might be a core issue? i dunno, clicking skip on firmware updates doesnt make them disappear forever, only a few days then they popup again

Zigbee Network Seems Capped

#

I have the Sonoff Zigbee stick, and I'm trying to update the firmware to see if it'll fix an error I'm getting. I've tried following along with a video, and they all say to put the target as CC2652P, but I don't seem to have the P version listed in the smartrf flash program. For 2652 I have R and RB, but I don't just want to choose something at random

winged sleet
# quasi knoll I have the Sonoff Zigbee stick, and I'm trying to update the firmware to see if ...

Ray, having just gone thorugh this myself I can say that the easiest method for me was using the ZigStar GW program. You do have to put your stick into booloader mode by taking it apart and then holding the BOOT button as you plug it in to your USB, then it's just a matter of uploading the proper firmware file for your stick from https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware (which also has links to the flashing software options)

How do I know which stick I have? I got it on Ebay over 2 years ago, the chip has "CP2652" and then "P1F" on the next line. The back just says "Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle PLUS 2021-10-20 v1.4"

winged sleet
#

What's broken on Sonoff? I'm having an issue I posted here about earlier, wondering if it's related

sour shadow
#

The P stick has hardware problems

#

Amongst other things it can crash and lock up

#

You need to power cycle it to clear that

#

The NVRAM may also corrupt itself

winged sleet
#

I hate the thought of re-pairing my network 😭

sour shadow
#

You can migrate to another CC2652 based stick on either ZHA or Z2M

winged sleet
#

Oh it's still 2652, cool

quasi knoll
# sour shadow That's the P

Ok, yea I've noticed my network has gotten extremely slow over the last few weeks despite no meaningful change to anything. I was hoping maybe a firmware upgrade would help it out, but should I change my stick instead?

#

I've troublehshooted and it's definitely not the mqtt, that's doing great

sour shadow
#

It probably won't help, but it won't hurt either

winged sleet
#

@quasi knoll read my thread earlier, you might be having interference issues...

quasi knoll
#

I was reading about interference, but the strange thing is nothing has changed in my network, it just suddenly started taking forever to react, sometimes not reacting. I did go through and put my wifi on Channel 6 and zigbee on 25, but that only seemed to help slightly

winged sleet
#

It may have changed elsewhere, like a neighbor

#

And Zigbee on 25 isn't ideal, a lot of devices don't support it

quasi knoll
#

Hmmm, that's no good

winged sleet
#

Maybe they got a mesh and it hosed your network - that happened to me twice in the past couple of years and I had to change channels on my own WiFi and Zigbee

sour shadow
#

25 is fine

#

You're thinking of 26

winged sleet
#

Yes, sorry

#

I know mine on 25 was really flakey

sour shadow
#

26 is lower power in North America, but devices either support it or they don't - devices being "flakey" isn't because they don't support that channel

quasi knoll
#

Well, before I do any of that other troubleshooting, I do still want to update my stick, but I still have the issue of it not showing CC2652P in the list to select, so how should I go about updating that?

winged sleet
#

Try the software I suggested, it worked quite nicely for me, there was no guesswork

#

It's multi-OS

sour shadow
#

Keep in mind that newer firmware may be worse than what you have

#

The whole CC2652 firmware version thing is a minefield

winged sleet
#

I stepped mine up and tested, the latest one seems stable (or at least no worse than my 3 year old firmware was)

#

But Hedda recommended starting 1-2 versions back first, but said the user response on the latest was positive

sour shadow
quasi knoll
#

Well, that's not working. This is getting to daunting levels of "not sure I can repair this without starting over"

winged sleet
#

What isn't working?

quasi knoll
#

Getting a "Timeout waiting for CAK/NACK after 'Synch (0x55 0x55)'

winged sleet
#

You aren't in boot loader mode

#

Take the stick apart, there are two buttons near the USB plug, the one nearest the plug itself is the BOOT button, press and hold this as you plug in then keep holding it for 5-8 second to be safe, now it's in boot loader and will stay that way until unplugged or flashed

quasi knoll
#

I've been doing that so far, but doesn't seem to be working

#

Any chance the bootloader is borked?

winged sleet
#

There's a chance of it being made by a little dude on Mars - anything is possible with tech 🙂

#

Are you able to read the NVRAM? I assume your error is when you try to ERASE + WRITE + VERIFY using the software I mentioned

quasi knoll
#

yes, I can

winged sleet
#

That error is exactly what I saw when not in boot loader. Are you sure the button was pressed? It's stiff

#

And you never once "oops"'d it, letting go for even an instant will prevent boot loader

#

Use a USB extension, it's way easier to make sure

quasi knoll
#

I've tried it half a dozen times now, probably couldn't mess it up that many times. I unfortunately can't find my extension

winged sleet
#

And you are pressing BOOT and not RESET? I don't know, if you do that and hit reload on the software to find the USB port/board and then open the FW .hex file it should work

quasi knoll
#

Yea I'm not sure, doesn't seem to be working for me. There's always the chance when I bought this and installed the coordinator firmware that I didn't know what I was doing and checked "Disable Bootloader" and screwed myself

winged sleet
#

A new stick is $30 and you can restore your entire Zigbee network, you aren't totally borked

Hey guys. I hate to ask a newbe question, because I can typically figure this stuff out, and I know this is going to be something really stupid that I'm doing wrong, but here goes. I am using zigbee2mqtt and have a Moes 4 button switch. (99.9% sure it's a rebranded TUA) Anyway, it pairs fine and I can see it in z2m, but all the blueprints I find to make use of it require an entity ID, which doesn't seem to be generated. Do I need to use a helper or something first? I've been reading community and reddit posts for like two days and just can't seem to get it figure out.

sour shadow
#

There absolutely should be entities associated with it

rapid dawnBOT
#
Devices

Open your Home Assistant instance and show your devices

sour shadow
#

Have you looked there for the device?

wild forge
#

There is 100% a device, but not an entity for the buttons.

sour shadow
#

It'll be a sensor

wild forge
#

nope... only the battery status.

sour shadow
#

for example

sour shadow
wild forge
#

alright... I will give that a shot. I've read on some of the posts that only the battery sensors show up, which is why people use the blueprint. I can see the button press in the z2m logs.

#

z2m:mqtt: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/0x90395efffe35e460', payload '{"action":"4_single","battery":100,"linkquality":200,"voltage":3000}'

waxen nimbus
#

which device entities are exposed?

wild forge
#

So, that's interesting as well. It shows whichever button I've just pressed in "exposes"

waxen nimbus
#

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS004F.html mentions that it has two operation modes. maybe it's in the wrong one which would cause it to fire the events but not register/configure the action entity? To debug, the device page has a 'Device Info' section with a 'MQTT INFO' button, which shows you exactly how the device and its entities are configured. For my Hue remote as a reference, it sends the whole event data to zigbee2mqtt/remote_living and each entity filters data from it. You can do the same if necessary by manually configuring a topic like homeassistant/sensor/<device_id>/action/config

wild forge
#

(can't seem to paste a screenshot here)

#

Seems to be in the correct mode, since when I double press the #1 button I see 1_double1 for action in the exposes page.

waxen nimbus
#

the MQTT page, you mean?

wild forge
#

yes

#

So it exposes Battery, Action, and Link Quality - Insistingly the blueprint i came across for the same switch using ZHA asks for the device name vs. the entity id.

waxen nimbus
#

yeah, Action is the entity you want right?

wild forge
#

Yes

waxen nimbus
#

so what's the problem? 😀

wild forge
#

lol - well... as I said at the start, I'm sure I'm looking past something simple, but I have a blueprint for it that wants an entity id. It doesn't seem to have an entity id.

#

I guess I can create a template sensor and watch for the state changes there.

waxen nimbus
#

I meant which entities are showing up on HA on the device page

wild forge
#

oh, sorry... Only the battery sensor and link quality.

waxen nimbus
#

monitor your mqtt to see whether it publishes the action config via homeassistant/sensor/0x90395efffe35e460/*. see whether you can see the battery/config but not the action/config, I guess.

#

frankly I'm not sure what that would tell, but I guess it's something.

wild forge
#

Yeah, I feel like I'm being a bit thick and just missing something very stupid myself. You guys have been great as always. Thanks for the help. I'm going to tinker some more and perhaps learn something. lol

anybody know how to fix the gledopo bulbs coming on after a power outage but not being controllable via HA? (GL-B-008P)?

#

Bulb came back on and while recognized in HA, not responsive (just says off) , and won't turn off.

waxen nimbus
#

could be a mesh/network issue, possibly just waiting is a solution? I don't have gledopo bulbs but mine do take a wildly varying time to properly come back online after a power outage (anything more significant that a quick off/on, anyhow), even for bulbs that it lists as not-missing

#

reddit in its infinite wisdom suggests to put a smarter switch between your power and your smart lights without a brightness-on-startup setting 😂

It's the only bulb like that I have. And it is by far the worst.

mmWave are best done on WiFi - the Apollo or EP1/EPLite

hey there! i have a huge problem. I need to migrate from a sonoff-E Stick to the slzb06. I am using z2m, running external in a docker conatainer. I already know thats not possible to migrate the databse to the new stick. I tried to install the z2m add on, my target was to use both sticks pralel and migrate the device step by step. But in this case the states of the entitys are also moving and all of my automations dont work anymore, and its not possible to read out wich entity i used in a automation because, all entitys are empty.
Isnt is possible to configure the "old" docker bases z2m instance to the new slzb06 stick and pair all devies new? Then the states shouldnt be change, or am i wrong?

I can't comment much on the most sensible way to migrate coordinators, so I won't. But besides that, the (states of the) entities are only bound to a name, so if you remove the old device/entities, you should be able to remove the old name from homeassistant and pair the device/entities to a new coordinator and give it the same (virtual) name (i.e. 'friendly name' in z2m or override in HA). If you have a backup which includes the automations.yaml you can restore that once you have all your entities renamed properly, for all of the automations where entities were removed.
as to your last question, that depends very much on your setup and what assumptions your automations make.

@austere patio I have been pondering my issue with the Namron devices which the controller can talk to, but for which the controller does not appear to hear any feedback when devices are switched on/off. You hinted at RF being the issue. But these devices act as routers for some battery operated devices in the same kitchen. And those HA talks to without issue. So I don't think RF is the problem here. Not criticizing your support at all, I did not provide the full picture.

#

but

#

What else is worth looking at?

#

Been trying to see if there are any reporting-related attributes to set or clear, but I find none that are obvious to me.

#

Bringing the controller closer to the devices in question solved nothing, by the way,

#

I see that I have two 'groups'. for some reason. And also that my Nabu Casa dongle appears as two endpoints.

#

On of which has no attached devices

What link do you mean?

  • setting up the remote so that you get a sensor entity that you can read out in HomeAssistant is impossible, such an item is not automatically exposed. However, triggers are exposed, and can be used as Automation triggers. (or even MQTT topics can be used, if for whatever reason your Dimmer doesn't set up correctly or you need even more control)
  • binding works perfectly easily for me. I can bind the Hue Dimmer remote to a group of Hue lights using Source endpoint=1, LevelCtrl and OnOff clusters, and Node-Red is still able to receive from the remote and override the lights for all (including long press) actions.
waxen nimbus
#

@wild forge sorry for the ping if you already figured something out, but that ^ first point is probably true for you as well, in retrospect. So it's somewhat likely that you don't need the blueprint at all because the actions are already exposed as triggers. looks like you should be able to get the actions via the legacy toggles, however: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/guide/configuration/homeassistant.html

I m trying to do exactly that but for some reasons the inding is successful but the remote is not sending any command to the light

I had to press the power (on) button a couple times before the light started to respond perfectly, probably to synchronize the OnOff state between them.

did you need to put the remote at 15cm from the light ?

waxen nimbus
#

no, not at all, but I do press a button before binding to make sure the dimmer is awake

the 15cm thing is to reset the light and bind it without a coordinator, by pressing the on/off buttons for a 5 or 10 seconds or so

Not that it is very relevant to your problem but I remember being able to send and log the actual zigbee traffic on the network via a relatively fancy developer tool. Could at least verify that the individual items send and respond to /11 requests OK

in between the two devices? I think you need a radio for that.

#

I'm not sure whether the traffic of this binding even shows up on the mesh for z2m to theoretically pick up, but I'm far from an expert on that.

#

however, the other binding that is present on both devices are to/from the coordinator, which mean that a log being present in z2m almost certainly means that a message was sent

#

woah, in the ~20 minutes since I bound the remote and the light group, it unbound itself without me pressing any buttons.

I respect the vision but I also hate the default control scheme

fierce parcel
#

default control scheme ?

waxen nimbus
#

I mean how the buttons control the light. even though there's 4 buttons and I only ever want 3 light settings, with the direct binding I usually need to press a couple buttons at least to get where I wanted to go. First button is dedicated on/off, second and third button are increments in intensity in 12.5 steps, and 4th button walks through 5 preset themes if you also bind that.

fierce parcel
#

you can remove the preset theme binding and add you own scene using HA

waxen nimbus
#

true but that would probably still mean walking through two modes + off. Otherwise I can just have three dedicated buttons and need to use the mains breaker to toggle the lights if for some reason my NAS is down, which is a tradeoff I can live with. I have NR + Z2M on a separate container to HA, so they keep chugging along even if HA borked or is updating or whatever :p

fierce parcel
#

So light can be manageable using nore red even if HA is down ?

waxen nimbus

if you do your entire control via NR, yes. HA only records history and some non-critical items for me that don't use zigbee, like the solar meters etc. (and the dashboard, obv)

I wanted to get back to a conversation I had about the centralite thermostat. it exposes through z2m a heat setpoint and cool setpoint. but it does not have a heat_cool mode, only heat and cool. But when I look at the thermostat card it the heat (orange) and cool (blue) "bars" that control the temp. But my thermostat only has an up/down control on the device itself. Additionally, when I set the thermostat up or down through alexa, it changes the heat AND cool setpoint values moving them BOTH up and/or down. Certainly this is not the expected behaviour for this thermostat. Additionally, under actions there is no way to change the thermostat temperature but one has to change the heat and/or cool setpoints in the action, which is not the same. Has anyone solved this?

waxen nimbus
#

Certainly this is not the expected behaviour for this thermostat
I'm not sure Alexa is necessarily the authoritative source of perfect behavior, but ok. I'm not sure how this thermostat works, but from a brief glance in the manual it seems it's possible to set up in such a way that the cool/heat temperate setpoint cannot be set to the same value, for one thing. More important than what may be expected imo is whether it actually works to some degree. The manual also seems to suggest there's two separate mode systems. the button on the device cycles between HEAT/COOL/E-H/OFF, which is as you describe, but menu option 10 (Sequence of Operation) lists 6 options, Cool only (00), Heat only (02), Full Auto (04), and each of these with reheat (0#+1), of with Full Auto with reheat (05) is listed as default. Maybe it's smarter than its interface suggests? 😅

sand hearth
# waxen nimbus > Certainly this is not the expected behaviour for this thermostat I'm not sure ...

yes, I read that in the manual as well but I do not have full auto enabled. Just the out of the box options (heat/cool/e-h/off) and the mode button on the faceplate just cycles between them. I would like to build actions and use alexa to change the current setpoint, either heat or cool, without this whole dual mode thing that does not really work. If I try the action to change the cool setpoint, I need to somehow know or determine that it is set to cool to not touch the heat setpoint. But that is really just a manifestation of a, let's just say it, broken integration being forwarded to HA from Z2M. There is even discussion on the Z2M issues board about this but it has not been addressed. So, I figured someone would have one of these and know how to "make it work properly"...

waxen nimbus
#

I need to somehow know or determine that it is set to cool
it exposes a running_state system_mode for this purpose, no?

to not touch the heat setpoint
is it an issue if you do?

sand hearth
# waxen nimbus > I need to somehow know or determine that it is set to cool it exposes a ~~`run...

Good point on running state.

Now so much an issue with changing heat setpoint, I suppose.

UNTIL heat mode is requested and then it is way wrong and does or does not do what is expected. with a single temperature set point, switching from cool with the temp set to 74 means that the heat will try to maintain 74. if the heat setpoint is set to something like 50 and you switch from cool to heat, the heat will just constantly run if you are not careful.

I suppose I could work around it on the HA interface with the hvac_action check, which right now says cooling. But I don't know what I would do with Alexa ...

waxen nimbus
#

I'm still not sure I understand the actual problem though. If you control it via HA, you should have all the tools to update both values at the same time, either via an automation or a script. Alexa as you say updates both values at the same time so that won't ever desync them. In what case would you not have the control you need?

#

hell if you really wanted, you could even make an automation that will set the heat to the cool temperature when it switches to heating, and vice versa. then you don't need to do the syncing when you set either value at all, it'll fix itself as long as it was on the correct temperature before.

sand hearth
# waxen nimbus hell if you really wanted, you could even make an automation that will set the h...

All good points. Just feels wrong to have it setting this dual-mode thing when it is really not dual mode capable. I could certainly just ignore the heat setting unless it is heating and vice versa and could even automate the other one as well. True indeed. I guess I just wanted a simple single mode slider or value setting since it is only a single-mode thermostat. I can certainly handle it manually.

waxen nimbus
#

On a purely technical note,

it seems it's possible to set up in such a way that the cool/heat temperate setpoint cannot be set to the same value
I'm not sure how the thermostat deals with this in reality, but I'm sure it's a consideration for the integration. However, it would be cool if it had a temp_sync device specific option like (some?) lights have a color_sync (xy == hs == mired)

When you add the device to Z2M, MQTT should automatically pick it up and add it to the integration. But, you might need to re-pair the devices to force them to be recreated in MQTT.

Hello, I have a small question. I have Home Assistant as a VM in a Synology NAS, and I use zigbee2MQTT.

Z2M is connecting to the dongle without problems, but when trying to switch on a light I get the error "Data request failed with error: 'No network route' (205)"
I would like to know if there is any way to confirm that the problem is the dongle not sending/receiving signals to the devices... (to know if it makes sense to buy a new one or not...)

Hi! I have a question regarding the ZHA integration. Would it be possible to use a Silicon Labs devboard flashed with an RCP firmware with the SiliconLabs multiprotocol add-on? So far I have tried flashing the rcp-uart-802154 that supports EmberZNet 8.0.1.0 and I keep getting a failure on connection when using ZHA through the SiliconLabs add-on.

Am I attempting something impossible or is there something that I am missing?

I've got a small issue with a zigbee device, but I'm not sure if the root cause is Z2M, MQTT, or somewhere inside HA -- can anyone advise? I've added one of those new Tuya rain sensors via the new Z2M support (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/RB-SRAIN01.html)

Here's a log snippet from HA's MQTT server:

{"battery":83,"battery_low":false,"cleaning_reminder":null,"illuminance":5566,"illuminance_average_20min":5569,
"illuminance_maximum_today":5775,"last_seen":"2024-09-02T13:46:52.051Z","linkquality":141,"rain_intensity":3159,
"tamper":false,"water_leak":true}

Note that rain_intensity is a numeric field. But the HA entity is treating the values as discrete strings, not a number. Looking at the sensor history it is a stripy pattern instead of a line graph (can't post screenshot here). The other numeric entities work fine. Which bit of the stack is broken, so I can look for the bug?

sour shadow
#

The problem is that there's no unit_of_measurement

#

With that set (you can manually add that) then it'll graph it

#

Z2M should really be setting that

bright pelican
#

agreed -- I just found the code -- you're right

e.numeric('illuminance_maximum_today', ea.STATE).withUnit('lx').withDescription('Illuminance maximum for the last 24 hours'),
e.numeric('rain_intensity', ea.STATE).withDescription('Rainfall intensity'),
#

can i set the unit directly on the sensor in the UI? (can't see how)

or do I need to wrap it in a template sensor helper and make a "new" one?

sour shadow
#

You should be able to customise it, yes

rapid dawnBOT
#

By default, all of your devices will be visible and have a default icon determined by their domain. See customizing devices for how to change that.

bright pelican
#

ah, yeah, I am already in the Entity settings screen, but there's no option to add a unit; just Name, Icon, Entity ID, "Add Label", then the voice assistants / enabled / visible / area section

#

I'm guessing some other bit of metadata that would cause that field to show is missing...?

#

hmm and also, as a followup question -- inside Z2M, it looks like withUnit just adds a String to the value to capture the unit. I'm guessing this is mapped internally inside HA later, when it processes the MQTT messages.

What's the correct way to declare a unitless number here, so that HA will treat it as a number field, and plot it as a graph and not a discrete domain-syle entity?

I have an automatic blinds motor (MOES) setup and connected to zigbee. If I issue open/close commands it works, but only for a few minutes. After a couple minutes, the motor fails to respond. Issuing an open/close command results in an error: "Failed to perform the action cover/open_cover. Failed to send request: device did not respond" I've reset (via the physical button on the motor) and reconnected the motor to the zigbee network three times. Always after only a few minutes it stops responding. Showing the Network Graph shows that it's connected to the nearby repeater, but reading attributes and reconfiguring also fail. Any ideas on how to improve this situation?

Just had a few questions before I start re-pairing 100+ devices in Z2M. Is the last seen attribute in Z2M useful in seeing which devices are having connectivity issues? Would my old coordinators (SLZB-06M and Sonoff ZB+ v2) flashed as routers make better routers in key locations than Hue bulbs or IKEA Tretakt plugs?

You're likely running into a known firmware issue where the Aqara plugs react to any traffic destined for group 0. It's only an issue in newer firmware versions. See this thread for the two EU plug models: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/13903

If you have those, they can be downgraded to an older version that doesn't have these issues.

So yesterday I configured a 20A smart plug for my electric boiler, which is drawing 2700w when heating. I programmed a schedule from 05.00 am to 08.00 am to run every day.
Today after 10 minutes the smart plug shut off without any trace, what has caused it?

@placid raft are you sure its ACTUALLY rated for 20A? i'd swear the highest i've seen in US are the 15A ones that Samsung used to sell but don't anymore, only with lower ratings

#

Also, assuming 120V AC in the US, 2700W is 22.5A if my math is correct, which i would expect to trip that

#

not sure how much i trust a tuya rating from aliexpress either.

just noticed that its a UK plug style, which should but it more like 11.25A, but still

230v would actually put it closer to 12, 11.74 specifically

my 11.25 was figuring 240 vs 120

either way, i'd seriously question the plug, you have any way to monitor temp during use (thermal cam)? Maybe someone shut it off with a remote or button?

I think it's the internal protection which tripped it. At 5 am everyone is fast asleep here and it's only reachable in HASS

esp. not at $1/plug

placid raft
#

I'm thinking to add relay in my breaker box on a DIN rail

#

There are some wifi and zigbee options

16A should be enough on 230V if the device only draws 2700w

#

All good quality suggestions are also welcome

if its a dedicated circut, DIN rail isn't a bad option, you'd easily know it can do it

Hi, i have the following issue: I have a HA Green with a SkyConnect Dongle with ZHA. I have multiple HUE lights and all is working great. I wanted to add a motion sensor to my home so i bought a Tradfri motion sensor. After i added it to the network it triggers some (not all) lights even without a automation in place. It looks like the motion sensor is "talking" directly to the bulbs instead via HA. In HA i can see the state "motion detected" and the battery level of the sensor.

Anyone with an idea how to solve this?

Hey guys,

So im trying to move on to Zigbee2MQTT. Now i have a SLZB-06M controller connected with the ethernet. Im now at the step that i have to add a serial into home assistant.

Could anyone please help me in the right direction where and how to put the following lines into my configuration.yaml?

Pay attention, if you use the Z2M addon for HA, it is better to edit the yaml configuration file directly

@tired ocean To format your text as code, enter three backticks on the first line, press Enter for a new line, paste your code, press Enter again for another new line, and lastly three more backticks.

Ok, removed it. I disabled ZHA, would that be enough to run the coordinator on Z2M or does it need to be removed from HA?

Have a TS0004 being recognized as a TS011F and can't make it change. Tried to add this variant as a custom quirk based on the ts000x zha handler quirk, but it's not being picked up. I guess I'm missing something as it's being picked up as default device, which does make it a funky thing. Supposed to be a 4 gang switch, but switching any will result in random switching on the other gangs. So not exactly usable...

Can one get the firmware out of one into another Zigbee device by chance? The only difference besides the model seems to be the current file version number, which might indicate a different firmware got updated onto the device.

Not sure if this is the correct forum, but I thought I would give it a shot.

I just bought a Schneider Electric CCT5010-0003 https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/CCT5010-0003.html#schneider-electric-cct5010-0003.
This device has two inputs for physical buttons. I would like no 1 to operate the dimmer itself and no 2 to control a group of lights.

I'm using zigbee2mqtt and I managed to successfully bind the group to the same button that controls the dimmer itself but I'm not able to bind the secondary input to the group. In the z2m ui or in home assistant I can see no sign of the second button being pressed. I've checked that it's correctly wired.

I can see four different endpoints 3, 21, 22, 242 in the source endpoint dropdown on the bind page. 21 seems to be linked to the first button . If i bind 22 nothing happens.

Any suggestions on how to continue troubleshooting?

recently i've found an energy meter that'd be suitable for my needs (frient Electricity Meter Interface 2). the problem is that there's like 3 stories between my apartment and the electricity meter i'd need to put this on. i tried testing the range with an aqara temperature sensor but didn't get any data down there. is there anything i can do here to be able to receive data?

Ah interesting. HAOS in total has 4GB available. It is sending InfluxDB2 traffic to a different host and running extensions are z2m, mosquitto broker, node red, and Studio Code server. Less than 20 devices, less than ten automations & scripts. Is 4GB likely insufficient for that?

Hi all! I recently bought a new device: ADEO Lexman Smart Indoor Siren LDSENK06. This device is not supported by Zigbee2mqtt (which I'm using) but I wanted to try to support a new device!
I've read the official guides online but I'm still missing something and I cannot fully support it.

Does anyone have some experience with supporting new devices in z2m and have already did it with LDSENK06?

I bought a zbt-1 because I couldn’t get a conbee to work. Plugged it in to my rpi5, it was recognized and began configuration until I got “unsupported_firmware”

Hello. I've been frustrated by the topic of https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/97954 for a while and today stumbled on the github issue only to find it closed and locked. I would like to try getting it fixed, but being new to the code I am going to need some assistance.
The issue is that although many thermostat devices themselves can be configured to use either of the two standard temperature sensor attributes, HA only ever displays the first.
What would be the proper fix? Do we want to add both sensors to the climate state, and a configuration to define which of them should be shown? Or a configuration which of the sensors that is included as "current_temperature" in the state? Or something else entirely?

Oh, so it's not a Zigbee thing

The zigbee Thermostat cluster 0x0201 includes attribute 0x0000 (LocalTemperature) and attribute 0x0001 (OutdoorTemperature). The device publishes both. We only use one.

Hi all, Just asked this in the wrong place.

Afternoon all, I've been using ha for a few years, and i've always used wifi lights, (some with more sucess than others.) I've recently moved and the house (mostly) has gu10 lighting throughout with hte exception of a couple of fittings, but my experiance with gu10 wifi lights was appalling previously. I ended up fitting lights that worked using the iglo integration, and they were okbut they no longer sell these on amazon. I'm now considering zigbee bulbs, but i have no zigbee hardware or experiance.
Will these still need to be flashed with other firmware (i.e tasmota) to work locally?
I assume I will need some kind of zigbee hub?
I have a Sonoff RF bridge (with tasmota) to get rf to mqtt, so I assume there is something similar for zigbee?
Will i just need to flash the hub?
Sorry for all of the questions.

Yes, you need a coordinator - check the pins

The third pin has a bunch of useful explanations on what things are and how they work

That I can't answer, I'd start by supporting it in ZHA, then it moves to a more general HA issue, if the Climate entity doesn't support dual temp sources, then it would need to be added, and probably impact the front end also

Is there any zigbee dimmer remote device that is like the IKEA tradfri dimmer remote and has a similar price to the IKEA one? The ikea one is actually perfect but it has one major problem for me: when it loses the pairing, it just connects to the nearest zigbee device, which becomes annoying when it loses connection since I have to reset the remote and pair it again every time this happens.

I'm just starting out again and haven't touched Home Assistant in over a year, for somebody in UK is there a preference when it comes to ZHA or Zigbee2Mqtt?

#

I've got the SLZB06 and I seem to have set it up with ZHA which was pretty straight forward after setting the device up which was a nightmare 🙂

#

Mostly personal preference - do you want it all in one, or do you like separation?

#

Is a list of known working devices important to you, or are you happy to search around?

I assume the ZHA is all in one? I think I used that before with Conbee2

curious about something, you can add a device via the ZHA integration page simply but each router also has a button to add a device via said router.
If i were to use the first option, would it pick a router for you or always default to a certain router?

limpid chasm
#

Thanks @forest cobalt that clarifies a lot :)

#

The big "add device" button permits joins via any router, so when the device scans for potential parents, the device can pick which one it wants. Some devices aren't good at that and need to be given exactly one choice.

Hey everyone, reposting from general because I didn't see this channel

Sometime yesterday my entire Zigbee network went offline in Home Assistant (using a HUSBZB-1 for both Z-Wave and Zigbee).
I got alerted that my Zigbee network id changed from 0 to 1 (I wasn't even home). It want's me to revert the change, and I've confirmed from a May backup of the VM that 0 was the original. When I restore the settings nothing will reconnect.

I've tried restoring from a full backup of HA on Saturday, and it a) shows the ID changed again, and b) nothing connects whether i revert the network ID change or not.

I have a SkyConnect laying around as well, so I figured I'd give a radio migration a shot, and it's basically doing the exact same thing.

Nothing I do seems to get a zigbee dongle talking to any device that is in the mesh (they're almost all mains powered, so all routers).

Oddly, Z-Wave is still functioning fine on the HUSBZB-1, so this seems Zigbee specific.

Any thoughts?

austere patio
#

The network update ID will only change if you change the channel

compact ibex
#

yeah, that's whats odd, it's been the same channel for a LONG time (15)

#

and still is

#

PAN/Extended PAN/Channel/Coordinator IEEE/etc all the same as a backup from 4 months ago

austere patio
#

Did you recently migrate to a SSD, add any USB 3.0 devices, or add any 2.4GHz WiFi (e.g. mesh systems)?

compact ibex
#

nothing new at all 😦
Running HASS OS on a ProxMox qemu vm, the only hardware added was the SkyConnect during the radio migration test to see if that fixed this

#

I suppose turning off all my wifi devices and reloading ZHA might be worth a shot, but that'll have to be after everyone goes to bed. Never had an interference issue previously

austere patio
#

Can you download diagnostics information for the ZHA integration and host it somewhere (e.g. https://dpaste.org/)?

compact ibex
#

sure

#

dpaste timed out, but pastebin worked

austere patio
#

Can you also upload a copy of your /config/zigbee.db file?

compact ibex
#

let me see if I can grab it

#

that's the network ID change log

#

That will all be in the zigbee.db file, it contains a copy of all past network settings

compact ibex
#

OK cool, trying to grab it off the OS now

austere patio
#

Looks like your PAN ID randomly changed from 0A75 to 2BE6

#

On September 7th

compact ibex
#

I see a reference to 2BE6 as early as 2024-05-02 in network_backups_v12

#

I think 0A75 was the id that was auto generated for this new VM install back in March, and then I overwrite that zigbee network with my restore from my previous install

austere patio
#

All of the other network settings are the same though, ZHA securely generates every single bit of network information every time you set up a network so two different networks would not share keys like this

#

Do you have access to a Linux or macOS CLI environment?

compact ibex
#

what about nwk_update_id? I notice that's different on 9/7 and 9/9

#

I do have a CLI available

#

linux

Create a Python 3.10+ virtualenv and then in it run pip install zigpy-cli bellows. Plug your SkyConnect into that machine and run zigpy radio --baudrate 115200 ezsp /dev/serial/by-id/... form and then bellows --baudrate 115200 -d /dev/serial/by-id/... scan --duration 100

Thanks for doing this work @red niche. I'm on the github discussion with another alias - I've been testing your rdm002 changes. Everything is working well and, at least with respect to the rdm002, existing behaviors are maintained and I don't see breaking changes.

I hope the maintainers approve this work - the rdm002 is a fantastic controller but without your changes, it's only partially functional.

I'm glad you got it working! I think one device has a different PAN ID but it should re-join the right one once you power cycle it.

Backups are done automatically every startup and then every 24 hours. I'm really not sure how the PAN ID managed to change on you, though. I'll just blame it on the old firmware 😄

#hardware-archived message

Link to relevant video of the problem that I'm having. I just installed a no neutral zigbee switch in old house wiring to control a low power outside light. Low enough power that the phantom draw to keep the radio running is causing this flicker. I feel like there should be a way to put a part onto this to address the problem, especially without having to switch to a whole different switch since that would mean replacing all the smart switches in the house

wild mortar
#

Is it happening on all switches or just this one? You 100% don’t need matching switches throughout the house.

junior ridge
#

It's only happening on this one switch and I know it's the phantom power draw that's the problem. I really don't want to have to do a special switch just for this one because it's going to mess up the aesthetics and drive my OCD crazy

#

When the light is on everything works perfectly fine.

wild mortar
#

I think inovelli makes a non-neutral zigbee switch that people have had good luck with.

#

Actually I know they do

#

I haven’t heard of anyone modding a switch to solve for the issue you’re having.

junior ridge
#

Holy heck that's an expensive switch. Like $65 for each one

ornate vault
#

i actually just installed the non-neutral blue inovelli switch and having flickering while it's "off"

junior ridge
#

Oof

junior ridge
ornate vault
#

it comes with a neutral jumper cable, but i'm not 100% sure on what to do with it, or if i need it. the instructions didn't have much on it

#

it's plugged into a philips hue light

wild mortar
#

45-65 is pretty typical for quality switches for what it’s worth.

junior ridge
#

I do have another idea that of somebody that I can poke at to try to get their input. I just figured I would check here first in case there was an easy answer

#

Honestly my roommate and I aren't even really worried about what it's doing. I just don't want the maintenance people to come by see if flickering light and be like oh let's fix that for you and then break everything that I get

ornate vault
#

is this neutral jumper wire the fix to my problem with flickering when in off position?

junior ridge
#

If they would have just left the nice lights that we had a couple years ago where I actually had a smart bulb in it, this would have been an issue in the first place

wild mortar
ornate vault
#

yeah, i took a look at that

wild mortar
#

It tells you what do do with the jumper

ornate vault
#

this is the picture for the non-neutral wiring

junior ridge
#

I was about to say he's got the blue, but I guess he's already got the right wiring diagram.

ornate vault
junior ridge
#

I mean, my switch has all four wires, and my job box has a neutral line in it, so I just use the wire nuts to join the load wires together, the line wires together and the neutral wires together. What I see on your switch and your wiring is just use the two wires you have hooked up already

#

That's basically how a cheap knife switch works

wild mortar
junior ridge
#

You did mention that yours is plugged into a Hue bulb though, which is a smart bulb and its own right as well as low power, so I'm not sure why you would need a second Smart switch.

junior ridge
wild mortar
#

Ooooh got it.

ornate vault
#

which i don't want happening

ornate vault
#

i can't for the life of me see what i'm supposed to do with it

#

the non neutral diagram just shows two wires for me, a load and a line

junior ridge
ornate vault
#

so here we are with smart switches as well

#

the inovelli's seem to work fine aside from one of the two lights flickering when in the "off" position

#

i've reversed the wave of it, and it causes the other light to flicker

#

so i'm at a loss atm

junior ridge
# ornate vault yeah, unfortunately that won't work for the fiance'

Another possibility that's a little bit dirtier but one that I'm considering since my landlord just replaced my bathroom vent fan with one that doesn't actually need a switch, is just jumper the two wires together in the wall and cover that switch with a blank faceplate

#

That way the circuit is always energized when the breaker is on

ornate vault
#

yeah, not too wild on that

junior ridge
#

I'm thinking about doing that and then putting a scene selector button in my bathroom to control the smart lights for the shower and the sink

#

Totally fair. It's just stuff that I thought about and figured I could share the love

#

But yeah, otherwise what I'm seeing from what you shared would be don't mess with that neutral jumper because it doesn't have a use in your current setup. And then depending on the capabilities of that switch, it may also be part of your zigbee repeater network

wild mortar
junior ridge
#

Yeah, I have a CYNC Wi-Fi dimmer switch that I gave up trying to use it for dimming because of how touchy it is on a no-neutral system. Not to mention the Wi-Fi keeps disconnecting which annoys the heck out of me

ornate vault
#

no flickering issues when on

molten linden

I have one blue in a no neutral setup. I have had to add a beefier hue bulb and a bypass https://amzn.to/3B8CGv5to get it enough power to stay happy.
