Is there a trick to get ZHA issue zigbee command to work? I get an error that it needs 2 parametes
Ok. So you've paired it and now you want to use the events for automations, Baba?
sander, try to get it going in dev tools first if you aren't already. It should have a button for example data.
I went integrations -> zha -> manage clustet
oh, nvm. ignore me, I don't know anything about ZHA
aarrgg i don't get color information back on my device
no x/y?
no ๐ฆ
wait it does....
i copied some code where they used uint8 instead of uint16... and the code for color control is 0x0300......
wellll
i never saw because i got 00 all the time
just curious, what are you writing for?
custom light controller (want to use it first for my nanoleaf clone)
I am using Zigbee2MQTT stick
but i also got sensors to work so maybe building some zigbee sensors (plant soil sensor)
And use VirtualBox on a NUC
I notice that if I receive a lot of data the stick stops working and is not recognised anymore as hardware in Home Assistant
Just made a flow in NodeRed to DIM when holdinbg the button
And then it just stops working
I'm using the nRF zigbee stack, no arduino bullshit ๐
are the leafs all independent devices or is it globally controlling the rest of things
one controller controls the other leafs
gotcha
so i need some color loops and such
so if you know how i can create zigbee commands i would like to know;)
yeah, I would have tried to implement wled or something so I could reuse effects but scratch zigbee sounds fun too
not sure how involved writing a wrapper for wled is
I can use some code from wled
There's many sticks that Z2M supports FYI ๐
Two of them are known to fail under load
I just need to transmit the stuff in zigbee and than its just code and formulas
I use the CC2531
The CC2531 and CC2530 sticks are cheap for a reason. They're fine for testing, but do yourself a favour and buy something better.
Well, you got the known broken one ๐
yep. I wrote a bunch of effects for esphome before being guided towards WLED a week or so ago. wled is awesome
๐ฆ
Just by a ZZH or even a Slaesh stick ๐
And I just ordered a nerw one because I thought it was hardware relatred
They're cheap for a reason ๐
I am not longer interested in writing light effects, haha
ah cool! I don't mind making stuff open source though
as long as i get it to work ๐
for now I only see color loop... But I want more xd
What is the best solution? Price is least of my worries
If only I'd already mentioned those... or you could find it in the pinned messages ๐ค
Nope ๐
are you on your pc? I'll stream my dashboard really quickly in #hangout with my audio disabbled
okay, for my nanoleafs its maybe easier to use wled, but for sensors zigbee is more prectical
But what is best ZZH or Slaesh
@boreal path Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.
When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.
Either
for sure. I think you would love wled for your nanoleafs
I will soon go to bed
I mentioned both because they're largely the same
you would just have to write the wrapper
he is talking about implementing stuff with zigbee
Bigzee
If you assist me with the HA side ๐
HA is easy, I just go I'm no dev and walk away laughing
haha ๐ sander, yeah. implementing sensors with zigbee would be super ideal
but buying premade solutions is ideal too ๐
not as fun

Maybe it helps if I say that I'm professionally an embedded software/HW designer ๐
yeah, I like to make my own stuff but it just doesn't look as good ๐
I'm pretty sure that makes you totally unsuited to any of this, there's no professionals here ๐
yeah, I typed a sentence about that a few times and erased it. ๐
I mean at work I'm getting paid for programming ๐
If I didn't have a job or life in general I might have time to catch up ๐ค this server is so fast
Only 12 updates a year? But I paid good money for this!
I have your refund here
I've made some custom components but it was hard to catch up with the development
Yeah, it's a double edged sword
Anyone have any recommendations on a Smoke/Fire detector compatible with Z2M? there seems to be many but im not familiar with any of the brand names so not sure whats good or bad here.
@sour shadow Do you know where to buy these sticks?
@boreal path Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.

@boreal path Generally, don't tag people to ask for help - it comes across as bad manners, youโre demanding somebody answers you. Itโs different if youโre thanking somebody, obviously. If you do tag somebody keep it polite and respectful. Remember that everybody is a volunteer, and nobody has to help you, and people may block you.
Similarly, please donโt DM (direct message) people asking for help. It also comes across as demanding, and means that others canโt learn from what you do.
Finally, please keep tagging people in replies to a minimum. That too can become annoying very quickly and should be used only when it's necessary (such as if it's been a long time, or there's multiple conversations going on).
The links in the Z2M docs go to the pages you can buy them on
great thanks
FYI, i got my ZZH stick just before Christmas and its been absolutely great. I had the conbee II stick before and it was nothing but issues.
I ordered mine on December 15th and got it just before christmas, and thats during the chrismas delivery rush.
Yes I live in the Netherlands and there is a brexit with long jams at the border
Well its worth the wait. up to you.
buy a cheap shitty stick until your good stick comes
Just ordered
I already have the CC2530
But every day It needs a reboot
Thought it was the NUC or Virtualbox
a usb extension cable and only using usb 2 ports will help until then
I already did
But I have only USB 3.0 poorts
So bought a USB 2.0 HUB
But with that it only holds a few hours
Now in VirtualBox I selected USB 2.0
And it hold a day, if I dont press a button to long ๐
Changing the port settings in VirtualBox won't achieve anything. It's the physical USB 3 port that gives off EM interference.
I heard, but strangely. A USB 2.0 hub does not work
I assume it's NUC specific thought, or possibly x86 specific?
It might not be ideal for you Pascal, but you can put mqtt on any machine
Might that be why I occasionally get no z2m after I reboot my host?
Doesn't seem to affect ARM
Don't start the Zigbee war again!
I've had no issues with the ZZH on my laptop 
Got a linky to the issue Walt? Can't find anything
Given the issues I've had with the CC2531, if there's a significant problem I've have expected to hit it by now
I like the NUC setup, because had problems with the raspberry eating my SD cards
It's on z2m issues. Look for c26xx / cc1352 thread. It's long
Seems to affect some users every day, some last week, some it only hits once every month or so๏ฟผ
This works really stable, but when my networks became bigger problems started. Especially with Ikea bulbs and node red flows
I will update NUC bios, reinstall the NUC and hope the ZZH stick will do the trick
Is there a need for USB 2.0 there 2?
Use USB 2.0 for Zigbee
ok, so USB 2.0 HUB on the USB 3.0 port will do the trick?
Still have the one I bought with the 1.5m cable
What's the x86 bug? I'm using zzh for months and nada
@mighty river I have the latest bios and using the USB 2.0 portd and the bug still happens
Zstack dies after awhile. Most of the reported users are on NUC. but not all
I only have USB 3.0 ports
Yeah, I used the internal ports
NUC as a class of computers or intel NUC line if devices?
Intel NUC
Doesn't help one way or another - internal / external
I'd guess it's specific to the chipset
Mine isn't one, although its using J3455 cpu
But mine is like 5 years ols
old
Will check if it has a internal USB 2.0 port
Did not think so
ALso interesting to know if it's setup specific
DId not have any problems in the beginning
But seemed afterI tried "slimmemeter"to read the Dutch electrioc meter and connected USB the problem started
Or maybe the Ikea
bulbs
ikea 5 button remotes... not bad for the price for that many buttons.
more of a statement than anything else
Maybe it is getting borked by certain devices
how i can add this to HA?
https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/dev/zhaquirks/tuya/ts0042.py
upgrade HA
Weird things happening with ZHA (or ezsp).
I have a Xiaomi motion sensor that is sending reports (I've sniffed them with whsniff), but latelly ZHA seems to miss it (it does update the lux). On ZHA logs, I see nothing except the lux! ๐ฎ
the Core as bump to 0.0.30 2 days ago
but the zha is already into 0.0.51
๐ฆ
is not the same thing? (developer)
0.51 quirks are 2 days old so you'd need the ha dev branch
yes that
logs: https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/X9kBtpHDnn/
wireshark: https://imgur.com/a/dw0Xewj
the device is 0xa5e9
I'm puzzled! Why the heck isn't zha getting the ocuppancy message, but gets the lux?
soo, how I can manage myself to update to 0.51?
Aparently, it jumped to an OSRAM Smart+ Socket
How do I know if it is a SiLabs? Also, is that the same bug with the official elelabs FW kicking out sensors?
you can do a vendor look up on the first six characters of ieee
zigpy and zha-device-handlers are two separate packages. You're likely using 0.51.0 or 0.49.0 with the latest HA
I get it once a month (or two) with an ARM ODROID XU4
It's a different bug. Device essentially crashes it will no longer route all messages. But it does route lux reports๏ฟผ
https://maclookup.app/macaddress/7CB03E
OSRAM GmbH ๐คทโโ๏ธ
There is an option to override the IEEE
wtf? why lux still goes? LOL
Most don't but maybe they did
okay now i actually manage d to move everything to deconz, without any real problem ๐
i still don't know what the bug is exactly but mine is running without issues with z2m
You can just probably power cycle parent. If everything starts working it's probably the same bug
Is there a common troubleshooting step for getting devices to connect properly to zigbee2mqtt after physically moving the zigbee hub? My lamp bulbs, and two powered light switches are just connecting and going through pairing / unpairing isn't resolving either.
Hum I've just steered it to the coordinator. If it happens again, I'll try that
@amber gull do you have any pointers to that bug? any discussion or something?
No, it's the same bug as the IKEA bug. Fixed after 6.7.7
There is code in zha_custom to recreate it
hi anybody that know how reset the xiaomi smoke dector?
Look on the Z2M page for the Osram Smart+ plug, itโs reported to cripple messages
Coordinator just stops responding to serial communications
Doesn't ever send a byte back
You can open and close the port all day with random settings but it never responds
When it happens again I'll have to try Z2M with it but I think periodic resets may be the only solution if it's some problem with Z-Stack
given the same reports on z2m, I don't think there is any magic sequence of bytes to rescue or reset the stack
so I came home from work with the plan to unpair my zigbee bulbs and lutrons... just to start fresh with them
deleted all four devices from zha, and reset my auroras to factory by this guide: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBm8vD8D3CxSPfyZZIIEqqS0W7VAY-XQ/view?usp=drivesdk
now I can't get them to bind to the lights properly ๐ซ
if I do click "bind" in the device page for zha, they sometimes want to turn on or off the light, but dimming isn't working, and they often give the mentioned "2x slow blink" that means they're apparently not connected
any ideas?
for the time being I've just removed them again
ah nice! it is even documented!
how does binding... work? should I have any indication in zha that they were bound successfully? can I check for that anywhere?
Hey I wonder if anyone else has any Sengled A60 bulbs? They seem to integrate fine with ZHA but then they become laggy and unresponsive. They're well within signal as when they first registered I could spam on/off fine. No errors produced either Anyone have these bulbs working, or any ideas? I can't see anything when listening to zha_event now either ๐ฉ
i've got what looks like an orphan end device (battery powered Fyrtur roller blind) on my network. no parent or child lines going to it, and I can't reach it (timeout, ??? LQI)
the device 10 feet from it DOES have a parent though
how do i "jog" its memory? make it join a new nearby parent?
you can try to repair it where it will be. delete it and then repair
oof, ok
is that a thing? getting "stuck" without a parent?
i did this and it joined a new parent - yay!
but.. it didn't join the repeat that's in the room with it
guess it prefers a "stronger" parent outside the rooom ๐คทโโ๏ธ
anybody else here use lutron auroras?
have some questions... but not sure if anyone knows the answers.
Tube does
do you know about this one?
like as a general zigbee concept
I'd like to change out my ZHA controller. I realize I'll need to admit all the devices back into the new controller but I'm wondering if i will need to rename all the devices & entities again, or will it remember the custom names like it does when a device leaves and rejoins the same controller? I've customized the names of pretty much all of them and that would be a pain
@wintry peak what stick do you have now and which one are you moving to?
@gloomy pivot binding lets two Zigbee devices talk to each other without going through the coordinator. It basically allows simple actions (like a button turning a light on/off) that will continue to work even if the Zigbee coordinator is down
Not all devices support binding
is there any way to see which devices are bound together?
The ZHA log will likely show a successful/unsuccessful binding
Not sure about that one, I don't use ZHA
what do you use?
Zigbee2mqtt
is there any way to see that in zigbee2mqtt?
devices aren't bound together until you bind them
yeah I get that lol I don't think mine are binding correctly anymore
ahh, okay. 'just wanted to make sure since you weren't seeing it
z2m's new UI has a binding page but I have yet to use bindings
@lilac wharf could you speak on how come you've chosen zigbee2mqtt over other options? is it more reliable/easier/etc?
Zigbee2mqtt isn't dependent on HA
ahhh gotcha
So zigbee2mqtt updates aren't dependent on HA updates, and when HA restarts there's no issue of an end device sending an update during the restart and HA missing it as a result
z2m seems to have the least people asking for help compared to the others ๐
(like can happen with ZHA)
that's pretty much good enough for me to switch lol
Hard to tell tbh without knowing the number of users of each Zigbee integration BuSheeZy
more reliable seems like what I'm hearing
Not necessarily
yeah, I know. I shouldn't have said help, more like "My shit aint working"
lolol
but still the same applies
me
They're both good, I just like decoupling things from HA
I like HA to be a state machine and automation center, not necessarily the source of everything
Yeah
like my bulbs have the light entity and a power sensor
It supports home assistant autodiscovery
Can be
I'll look into it
I run it as a container, but there are other options
I have the nortek husbzb-1 and thinking of switching to sonoff zigbee bridge with tasmota installed on it
Ah
Not at all heh. Docker is the software
yeah I get you
Just a friendly nudge before someone gives you actual shit for saying that
but no?
Unfortunately not
bummer
ZZHs are in stock!
I think support is being worked on though
well were a few hours ago
tbf I got that stick thinking one day I'd have zwave stuff but haven't ever gotten any lol
Only 78 left in stock, order now!
I have that stick too. I started off with ZHA and moved to zigbee2mqtt (I bought a ZZH)
Currently only using it for zwave with...three devices lol
Thankfully I bought the ZZH back in September when everything wasn't backed up, so it arrived in a week
only $30?? a steal if it really does all that stuff
whoa either way
that's still good
how's shipping time from them?
it does zwave as well?
Took a week to get to me (US) back in Sept
I think I paid $30 for shipping last time to get DHL and it was super fast
Who knows now
It can't do it all at once
If you haven't bought zwave yet, I would just stick to zigbee ๐
biased zigbee user here
never used zwave once in my life
yeah
I have both. Definitely prefer zigbee
originally I had been looking at the innoveli reds
37 Zigbee devices, 3 zwave lol
hot
I'm happy to stick with zigbee for now though
the more routers you have, the stronger your network should be
kinda
I wouldn't split it between zigbee/zwave
all on one
I don't really know if any of mine route
Most mains-powered Zigbee devices are routers
ah like bulbs
pretty much everything except sengled bulbs, from what I have seen
ah fantastic, the ones I have lol
Exceptions include Sengled bulbs and most no-neutral switches

I use sengled bulbs because I don't like routers in my ceilings inside of cages
I bought a ton of ikea repeaters/smart plugs
Yeah, sometimes I wish there were a way to selectively disable routing capability
Not sure if that's implemented in the Zigbee stacks at all
ok so, zigbee2mqtt no worky with my stick atm... need to figure out these auroras still though lol
you can get a temporary stick for like $4 on amazon for z2m
just so you know before you wait on the zzh
what stick would that be?
the shitty one everyone has issues with
let me search "problems" in this channel, sec
lol that's great
I just sprung for the zzh anyways
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07KW1N1MR/ oh, you probably want the stuff to flash it too. that helps.
yeah, fuck everything. just wait for zzh ๐
wait, need to flash zzh??
zzh flashes no problem with no flasher hardware
gotcha, but you do still have to flash it?
quick one about binding
do I bind the bulb to the knob or the knob to the bulb?
or is it bidirectional?
no damn clue.
ok no worries
I got the answer
knob doesn't show up as an option to bind the bulb to the knob
hey lookie there, one down and bound right
I did this a half dozen times this afternoon with no luck lol
I'd really prefer to NOT bind these, but they don't seem very friendly to use any other way lol
for network stability?
whats your favorite zigbee motion sensor?
I use aqara for indoor and Hue for outdoor
the new aqaras coming out over the new few months are much nicer though
T1 or something
I will definitely replace all of my indoor ones with the T1s when they come out and use the current ones for something else
What's the difference with the T1 versions?
I see zigbee 3.0 from a quick search. not sure what that provides though. Does it solve the issue with them being non standard zigbee and dropping off the network all the time?
settings like timeout
oh ya, nice. I've always wanted to change the occupancy duration on my motion sensors. spent a whole day at it one time till i figured out it's not supported!
yeah, just the mod people do
Are there any docs on migrating from one ZHA controller to another?
ohh awesome, like how long they stay triggered? one irritation I have with my wyze sense ones (along with eventual faulty mac) is that they stay triggered for 45sec no matter what
yeah, can't remember the specifics though
that sounds great though
Ahh nice Thx
Iโm looking for zig bee outdoor โfairy lightsโ to hang in a tree any recommendations? Is there out of box or perhaps better to buy a controller?
If I go controller route, could I just buy some rgbw lights and cut the cable and rewrite?
@sour shadow can you answer my question now?
See the pinned messages
As I said, there's a list of known working hardware there
And yes, you can use a controller and lights, and they'll all be the same colour
Yeah Iโm seeing a lot of the lights you can buy have a controller already, eg something with batteries or some IR based crap, typically is the wiring standard on these things so I could just cut and wire into a zigbee rgb controller
I can see there are rgb controller on supported devices so thatโs easy to obtain
Gledopto are at least one manufacturer of RGB/RGBW/RGB+CCT/CCT controllers
Just watch the voltages ๐คฃ
Right so the controller and lights would obviously need to match otherwise my tree will burn down๐ฅ
I have had good fortune with my aqara sensors so far. What's the timeline likely to be before I see some of the drop-offs people sometimes allude to?
Should my life already be a waking nightmare?
I've had one drop off in the last 2 years
That one had a very poor link to the mesh though, after reconnecting it I've had no problems, and the connection is a lot healthier
Nice. So, barring a faulty device, good mesh conditions make the difference
That's my experience
Well that's completely acceptable
Morning all (in least in my neck of the woods). Can anyone help me troubleshoot the follwoing errors. I migrated from a Nortek stick to a Conbee 2 and these keep appearing in my logs. Everything "appears" to be working fine.

hey ho, i have integrate zigbee and add xiaomi aqara devices.. f.e humidity and temperature but they dont update the status (temperature is on 27ยฐ hole the time)
i put the CC2534 in the usb port and activate the integrations in hassio
Hass.io was the old name for the appliance like install option, that uses Docker. It is now simply called Home Assistant OS (see #330990055533576204).
There's four or more possible integrations here
"Zigbee Home Automation"
That'll be zha
thats correct
If you're having problems with your updates to your configuration:
- Check the troubleshooting steps
- Check your log file - remembering you may need to set logger to
infoordebug - Explain what the problem you're having is - sharing configuration, errors, and logs
Is the zig-a-zig-ah! (Love the name!) a more powerfull option than the Nortek HUSBZB-1 (I believe it has a EM3581 so that would be against the CC2652 from (the zig-a-zig-ah).
@sour shadow ok let me check
How long have you waited since you added them? Xiaomi sensors don't send updates very quickly.
@austere patio 20-30 minutes
I think the answer would be probably yes
If the temperature didn't change much in the room, they won't havesent an update
yeah but a real temperature is ~21ยฐ and 27,7 is not less or?
same with the door sensors, arenยดt they realtime?
When the temperature doesn't change, they send an update every ~55 minutes
Blow on it and it should update
Unfortunately the Nortek have a Silabs chip, not a TI one. ๐ฆ altaugh, I love the comparison list there!
Anecdotally I feel like the CC2652R can handle more concurrency than the HUSBZB-1
But that may be because the SiLabs firmware is higher-level and does more retrying and such
While the TI firmware doesn't care
And is buggier
Oh the TI is buggier? ๐ฐ
It has some minor bugs, just like everything
If you're using ZHA then upgrading to a more recent SiLabs coordinator may be a more pleasant experience
My smartthings buttons seem to be eating batteries...I don't get more than like 6 months out of them and I press them once maybe twice a day
Yeah I am looking at what is best with ZHA at the moment.
Maybe it's the cheap-ass batteries I bought 
@lilac wharf yea that't about what I get
My Smartthings stuff eats batteries too
Ah really?
I think it's because they also report temp
@austere patio is it possible to send a signal from aqara to the stick by doing anything (manualy) to test it?
Press the button on it if it has one
Press the button on the device, not the stick
The CC2531 shouldn't have an LED flashing
Only the red one when it forms a network
Hm ok this works
LED||eez nuts||
If you're running a recent release of HA and haven't used the CC2531 with HA a long time ago, you can disable the green LED via a config option: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-znp#configuration
ive merge the ha code with this https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/blob/b12ebc37790af34253fce4a0c549d05a8ffb995c/zhaquirks/tuya/ts0042.py#L25
now I can receive the shortclick event ...finally...but....still missing the Long press and double click
What do you mean? They send an update when they are triggered.
They're about as realtime as you can get
Do you have the magnet oriented the correct way?
Yeah its the line on the side
You should hear a very faint "click" if you bring the magnet closer
A very ๐ค click
The Elelabs seemโs to have a recent EFR32MG13 compared to the older silicon in the Nortek one. Is it the best coordonator for ZHA? ๐
I believe Walt said that it was comparable performance-wise to the CC2652R boards
I'm hoping to sort out the last couple of glitches with the TI stuff in the next few months so I think at that point they'll be comparable in terms of stability, but for now the SiLabs stuff is much more thoroughly tested with ZHA
Though the one benefit of TI over Silabs software-wise is being able to switch to Z2M, since at the moment only ZHA can talk to SiLabs radios
@quick hare Yes, the Elelabs is the best SiLabs coordinator for ZHA today
Oh I was sure I saw your name on GitHub now I know from where! ๐ Thatโs a good argument indeed!
The EM3581 inside the Nortek was finally dropped from the upcoming Emberzet 6.8 or 6.9 release -- so it's effectively end of life
It's still a great piece of kit, built like a tank, great filtering -- but probably won't last as long as the EFR32 in the Elelabs
thanks @austere patio
Hey puds, how many "Watchdog check failed" logs should I expect to see if zstack dies?
Infinitely many
fails, tries to re-initiate the stack, watchdog fails again, repeat?
One every 30s for as long as Z-Stack doesn't reply to pings
No retries unfortunately, there's no way to fix it as far as I can tell from software
But it runs independently of the reconnect stuff so that will still kick in if you reset the port
Thanks, just setting up my error handling -- guess I will catch it for now, and trigger a uhubctl cycle on the docker host
So it'll just tell you independently of a request failing due to a timeout that Z-Stack is locked up
Although it triggering a reconnect may be a smarter idea
Well, works great -- thank you! This will be a nice band aid to let it auto repair itself
Guys, what's the best solution for a zigbee coordinator in HA? I've tried Smartthings: stable but delays were high at some moments. Now I use a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge with ZHA and it's not that stable.
USB stick with one of the Zigbee integrations (see topic)
6 ZZHs in stock
Heh
ValiEne, if you want to trust some random person on the internet, buy https://www.tindie.com/products/electrolama/zzh-cc2652r-multiprotocol-rf-stick/ before it is out of stock
also, I use this for z2m so if you don't, Idk ๐
They should choose a Zigbee integration first and choose a stick from there
discord, stop dying on me
Though, that one works with ZHA too ๐
my discord is dying and I can't type
We noticed
ahh, good to know tinkerer
Tru
Anything supported by z* is a good choice, as then you can chose from the good option, or the better one ๐
Heh
The HUSBZB-1 sucked me in with its dual-protocol goodness
And I hardly use the zwave part lol
those 3 devices are solid as fuck though
And now I'm only using it for zwave
Yeah it served me well when I used it as my Zigbee coordinator
So this is a bit of an embarrassing question
I'm on Vodafone broadband and my WIFI is 5/2.4GHz The channel for 5 auto (36, 40, 44, 48)
And for 2.4 its auto Channel
am i right to believe Conbee/ZHA is meant to be a set channel?
for better connection
wifi channels are not the same as zigbee channels
Centrlite. You could get a pack of 10 for $5/sensor on ebay at one point. Konke are not bad too. And xiaomis are xiaomis, if you don't find a good parent they will keep dropping
ooh i like motion sensor gonna look at Centrlite
@gentle flint Konke motion sensor > Aqara motion sensor?
Hello all, I am using zigbee2mqtt and force removed one device over web ui. Now I want to add again. permit_join: true but nothing in log when i hold or press button on sensor (aqara temperature sensor)
I'd prefer anything over xiaomis, cause only Tinkerer have xiamis which don't drop :) but Konke on the other hand only work on channels 15, 20 and 25 which is not a problem, cause those are the channel you probably should be using anyway
i also have no droppy xiaomis
Sounds like you need a factory reset
I've got both and most of the time, I like the Konke ones better. However, they do seem to have a long blind time (they'll react 1-2 seconds later in my experience). The Xiaomi ones seem really fast (and are also not dropping for me). I really hope we get the T1 Xiaomis soon
Avoid the IKEA one too. It deep sleep forever and gets unavailable when left without motion for too long.
I tried to google about factory reset, but no results. Any tip how to do it?
I have been thus far satisfied with their temp/humidity sensors and switches, and they seem pretty solid ๐
somebody mentioned that the next version may have a handful of nice features related to zigbee 3.0, so I may wait on them a bit
It's however many seconds of a paper clip used to press into the little reset hole
I had one wyze motion sensor go bad this weekend (at least I think so)
It's been two years at this point though, waiting on TI stuff ๐
@simple sentinel that's it? I was hoping to be able to change how long they stay triggered
oh lolol
didn't read your thing
no worries
@simple sentinel Ok, then it's for me ๐ Are you mean reset button on sensor? I tried to hold until fast blue blinking.. but nothing come in log from zigbee2mqtt.
That should be it for 5 secs
@quick hare tbf the one in particular I need to replace is my most triggered sensor by far ๐ probably why the wyze one went bad so soon (had it only a few months)
Iโve warned you. ๐
I'm with you lol
I don't really like the look of the ikea ones... seems pretty but just another con lol
Yeah, I sold all my Wyze sense stuff. I got pulled in by the low price. Should have just gone Zigbee since I already had a Zigbee network set up...
5 seconds is long reset
or rather reset
5 second long press
@lilac wharf it's really a bummer because I like their look, price, and integration... they just appear to not be very long-lived ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
Bought 10 ecolink contact sensors for $40 on eBay and some Sonoff motion sensors
Huh. I think itโs actually their main argument. The design blend really well with the wall.
yeah ๐ idk what rubs me wrong on them lol
Although one of my Sonoff motion sensors has shown some false triggers 
Unless a bug walked across it maybe
wish I could nail down this thing with my auroras though ๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ
@simple sentinel Thank you for manual! I tried, nothing in log on zigbee2mqtt. Are I missing something or you mean to hold much more seconds then 5 for factory reset?
Gotta say, those Blitzwolf water leak detectors are damn good!
anybody know of some with a keyhole mount instead of double stick tape?
@honest spire Well, that should give you a "fresh" sensor to add.
Of course, if you didn't successfully remove it from z2m, then you may still have problems
I am unfamiliar with what "forced removal" from z2m entails
@simple sentinel Ok.. I tried to find if left somewhere old sensor.. but not.. not in device.yaml and database.db. Not exist.. but can't add ๐ฆ
I have no idea what to check or try more..
I use frontend, so I haven't been to any of those places
I also removed from frontend.. but when I got issue to add back.. I searched in files...
I guess you could check MQTT explorer; see if it's still there
good idea, will check now
The device should be something along the lines of 0x00158 etc etc
it's not there.. and no any reaction on press or hold reset button. I have other 8 devices and one router.. all working good-normal
well, sigh...
Try to permit join on the device closest to the sensor?
I am just throwing things at the wall here
Just to double check, in mqtt you were looking under sensor?
Also there wasn't an orphaned 0x00158 entity that was misplaced somewhere at the root of one of the main topics perhaps?
imgur ftw
Not ideal from a "real"perspective, but I'm looking at it from a dev/testing perspective.
Is it possible for a single HA to have both ZHA & mqtt installed?
Is it possible to have the same set of Zigbee devices "registered" under both?
I want to do some mqtt dev, but do not want to tear down my "real" HA system
You can run both side by side, but not have devices joined to both
It might work if you copy over the network settings from ZHA into the Z2M config file so that it doesn't break your network
But you won't be able to have both using the same network/stick at the same time
OK. My ZHA setup is using my Conbee II stick. I've a few others (I'm a dev geek!), which are either TICC25xx clone or a Nordic nRF52840.
If I stuck one of those in, I could run "some" of the Zigbee devices on the mqtt?
If they're on a separate network sure
And I imagine as they would all be on the same HA instance, I could still integrate them all?
Z2M would only be able to use the CC2531s
So I'd need to "detach" them from ZHA and "attach" them to mqtt?
Yeah, you'd need to reset them and re-join them to that second network
I think you should be able to just reset the device and join it to Z2M
And then click the "reconfigure" button once you re-join it to ZHA
Z2M doesnโt support the Nordic ?!
OK, so far Iโd just used one as a wireshark sniffer
Speaking of which ... if a USB is being used as a coordinator, can it also be used (via the same driver stack) as a sniffer?
And the firmware is not compatible with it being a coordinator?
No, it's completely separate
OK
I've been trying to compile the open source ZBOSS sniffer firmware to work the CC2531 bootloader so that you can flash it over serial but haven't gotten too far with that
So the only way to do it at the moment is via the debug connector and a microcontroller/raspberry pi
The energy level app youโve got
Whose name I cannot recall
Is that coordinator compatible?
Which one?
All of the tools in zigpy_znp, including the network scanner and the channel energy scanner, should work with all TI coordinators and all firmware versions
Is it TI specific or might it work with any device using a zig bee stack?
It's not using anything specific to TI, so in theory yes, but some coordinators don't respond well to requests sent to themselves so in practice I think only maybe the SiLabs coordinator will work
I don't have a Conbee to try with so that might work too
But the code right now isn't using zigpy and sends the TI-specific commands directly to the radio so it would have to be rewritten to test that out
OK
If only it was more like django
Thanks @austere patio ๐
???
Can't wait for beautiful classes like MultipleObjectTemplateResponseMixin and AdminCommaSeparatedIntegerFieldWidget to start showing up in the zigpy codebase
Are clients supposed to receive an acknowledgement from the coordinator when they send a change in a cluster (Zone Status Change Notification)? I can see on the ZigBee Application layer my lock sending an acknowledgement to the coordinator when it ask to unlock. But when it comes to clients, it goes only one way (with only ACKs on the physical layer) which only confirm that the next hop is working, so in my mind, the client canโt know if the message was sucessfully delivered or not thru the network. Is this normal? (ZHA)
It's optional
Yeah, I believe it's up to the sender to enable ACKs
Yes, they can request APS layer acks
I guess for battery operated devices, it's maybe "better" to just successfully relay a message and then shut off the receiver
Instead of waiting for a much longer period of time for the destination to reply and wasting more power
Oh I see. So (Blitzwolf) decided basically that their (water leak sensor) would just throw itโs message on the network and as long it got a physical ACK, it dosnโt care about the rest? ๐
Ah ok it is something common on battery powered devices?
I think there's some bit that's flipped in the packet header in Wireshark that asks for an ACK to be sent back
No clue, I'm just guessing. I haven't really looked closely at this stuff.
I can check that actually.
@simple sentinel tried near to cordinator, w/out router, near to router.. no chance ๐ฆ thank you for helping.. I have no idea where is problem.. ๐ฆ
I think itโs byte 8 indeed in the ZCL frame. Still checking. ๐ค
๐ฆ
Mhhh it seemโs it did ask for it : https://ibb.co/S5vfRLX but ZHA did not reply.
What does the ZHA+radio library debug log say?
What is the radio library? ๐ Sorry about that.
Oh you mean to put the radio library to debug in HA?
Yeah just enable all of em: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#debug-logging
Got it. @austere patio Iโll check that out a little bit later when I come back. ๐ Thank you so much for the help!
Hello. I have never used zigbee before, and I thought I'd pass by and ask for some advice before buying stuff
I want to update the sensors at home, mostly temperature, smoke, movement sensors, etc. I currently use a bunch of arduino pro mini with 433mhz modules what I programmed and soldered myself, that send information to a rasberry and ultimately transfers data via MQTT and is stored in a database. They have been working pretty well for the last 5 years or so, and the battery life is acceptable too (between 1 and two years for two AA batteries).
But i'm getting lazy, and I don't want to spend the afternoon soldering and programming if I want to add more devices. Also, the range is not great, so there are parts of my house where the sensors don't reach.
So I saw that there are multiple battery-operated devices using the zigbee technology, and they are pretty cheap.
And I saw that there's a zigbee2mqtt project that seems to be what I need.
So my idea would be to buy a zigbee usb receiver (there's a list here: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/supported_adapters.html), and a bunch of commercial temperature sensors (like those from Xiaomi / Aqara).
Does that make any sense?
YEs
But see #zigbee-archived message
A bunch of battery devices doesn't create a mesh, and you need a mesh
I have my whole house covered with a handful of router devices and a whole host of battery devices
Nice.
So... not only I need a coordinator (which I understand will be the usb "dongle" I will plug to a raspberry pi), but also at least one device that acts as a router, which can be itself another sensor that is plugged into the mains, no?
(like a smart rgb bulb or something like that?)
Pretty much
Most mains-powered Zigbee devices act as routers. Some exceptions include Sengled bulbs and most no-neutral switches
You'll likely need more than one router though
The Ikea Tradfri repeaters can run on any USB socket
aha
Since they are about the same price, I use the tradfi smart plugs where possible and the USB shits elsewhere
and isn't possible to just start by the coordinator, and three or four sensors?
You can do the same with some CC2531 sticks flashed with router firmware, but they have bright LEDs ๐คฃ
Sure, if the range is relatively low - same room or the one next door
What about those dongles which have an antenna?
the furthest I plan to receive is about 15 meters, with three walls in between.
Would something like this work?
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001808698978.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.44ff5005kbpR88&algo_pvid=9dc0777c-8c47-4743-896c-2e9d8c512cb2&algo_expid=9dc0777c-8c47-4743-896c-2e9d8c512cb2-1&btsid=2100bddf16110926135955487e973a&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
No
The CC2531 and CC2530 sticks are cheap for a reason. They're fine for testing, but do yourself a favour and buy something better.
Fits right in any decor
If you want to know which stick to buy, see https://electrolama.com/projects/zig-a-zig-ah/#aside-ti-part-numbers - it explains the differences between the chipsets
You want one of the newer generation chips, nothing else
technically you should first decide on what integration you want

wise person
what do people with little technicall skills use zigbee devices?
so you buy a hub and some devices from ikea or something
They buy a hub and suffer from a lack of choice
where do you plug them? where do you configure them?
What? The hub?
I suppose you have to stick to a single brand, due to incompatibilities, or some features that are not shared between brands
Mostly, yes, but it depends on the hub
Where with Zigbee2MQTT you can use almost anything
Well, that's my idea. If I get it working with mqtt, then I can do whatever I want with it
So, back to the "stick", a CC2652R* chip is recommended
they buy hue, then curse hue for being hue but its too late since they bought in at a high price ๐
Yeah, buy the Zig-A-Zig-Ah! or Slaesh stick
Less range? fewer features? unstable?
Yes, i read that, but it only mentions the specs.. and yes, higher numbers are better, but I don't know how that translates to real life
ok
Think of the difference between a car made 40 years ago, and one made today...
Ok, so if I get this, for instance, it should be fine: https://slae.sh/projects/cc2652/
Yup
Do I need pin headers?
Will I need to change the firmware or something using an external device or something?
Nope
(I see that you can chose it to be already flashed with mqtt)
It can be flashed without any other hardware
Ok
You'll also want a short (50cm to 2 meter) USB extension cable to move it away from the noise of the PC
That also likely means you want the Type 4 antenna
cables are not a problem
I think I also have a big antenna with a SMA connector, it might work, but yes, I'd get the largest they offer, just in case
Well, as long as that's a 2.4 GHz antenna it'd be fine
https://www.tindie.com/products/electrolama/zzh-cc2652r-multiprotocol-rf-stick/ is the other option, likely also not cheap
Ah, sold out again ๐
Let's see
haha
Ok, so I'll get the one from slae.sh.
About the "router" device. Can that stick work as a router as well, or do I need something separate?
You need other devices - the stick is the coordinator
I bought one of https://zigbee2mqtt.discourse.group/t/ad-buy-ready2use-zigbee2mqtt-stick-flashed-antenna-mod-and-printed-case/22/6 - not cheap, but it gave me a router I could slap into any USB power source
It actually provides coverage of my whole upstairs, and a good chunk of downstairs
Can't the stick also work as a router internally? I don't understand why the end devices cannot connect directly to it.
devices can connect, you would want a router to extend the range; if the big antenna doesn't cover your whole living space
Oh ok ok, so for starters, the coordinator and a sensor that is not too far away can talk to each other, and routers can extend the range
They will and do connect directly to the coordinator. If you only have a single coordinator and a bunch of end devices, that is not a mesh. You sort of need additional routers to help bounce 'er around to your end devices.
yes, Neuro
Ok ok. Yes, i see the benefits of a mesh, but I was trying to figure out the simplest case scenario
Add some zigbee lightbulbs around the house, and that will help the mesh as well
plus give you light
most of them are, afaik
ok
I tried to make one with arduino some time ago, to log when my cat ate, but the battery life wasn't great, like a month or so.
Anyway, thanks for the help! I think I understand better how these devices work now
zigbee is good fun, enjoy
Thanks!
Got my aoara mini button today. What an amazing little thing when paired with hass. I have it toggling lights in the living area and long press for movie mode
Are there any commercial zigbee devices with a temperature probe? I haven't found anything, but thought it was worth asking before I build something. Got a new deep freeze and want to monitor it.
Need to ask Tube to solder some wires to Xiaomi temp sensor ๐
Whoa look who is back
Dad?
You know, I figure I should stop by once a year or so
hey I haven't messed with temp sensors yet..
FrankenProbe? ๐
A few weeks ago someone mentioned using ewelink s003s as routers. Mine arrived - so far, signal strength/range seems pretty low compared to xiaomi (to the point that getting them on the network seems tough)
As a rookie, not sure does this belong here, but if not please advice. I'd like to config (enable_uart=1 +
dtoverlay=pi3-disable-bt) my Raspbee II on my system, but I'm unsure should I use USB stick method or something else for this config.txt method. Advice anyone?
That sounds like you're running #330990055533576204
They'd be able to tell you which, if either, is better - but I'd expect that the result is the same
Hi guys, I have a problem updating my Danfoss Ally eTRV through Deconz on my Raspberry Pi 3b+ with a Conbee II attached. The thermostat works just fine and all that, but I cannot figure out how to update it.
I need to put the .ota-file into the otau-folder in deCONZ, but it seems to be an entirely different system than HA on my Pi.
In short; I cannot figure out how or where to put the damn ota-file. Any ideas? Cheers!
Hello, I am trying to implement a quirk for Saswell SEA801-Z01 TRV (Radiator Thermostat), as per support request https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/727
However the tuya valve.py file never shows as been compared when accing the device. I think this is because the valve sets the 'Manufacturer=None', therefore where do I add the quirk so it can be accessed?
The valve is basically a clone and has the output clusters reversed compared to the 'class MoesHY368(TuyaThermostat)' entry
@mellow geode the inegrations need to exists in zha
Integrations are for Home Assistant. ZHA is an integration for example. ZHA only uses the zha quirks library for devices which donโt follow zcl spec.
Many devices donโt need an extra quirk.
its a tuya device, soo, problably dont follow the zcl spec
The sensors need quirks must of the time but at least plugs and relays seem to be fine. The other day a couple of BlitzWolf branded Tuya plugs arrived and they worked just fine (with power measuring) out of the box.
did you pair it with zha?
only tonight i will do it ๐ฎ
so you're speculating that it won't work? ๐ค
Yeah, it doesn't say it's not compatible though.
Nobody confirmed it's working with ZHA, yet.
if is not there im assuming that dont work
Yeah, that's a wrong assumption then.
oh
keep on assuming then, not a good way to live imho
I have many devices which don't require any quirks and are also not listed "Confirmed working with ZHA". Hopefully I get around to PR-ing updates to the site ^^
ok, my mistake then.....but....i'm not the only one assuming this in some groups and foruns...most people are loking to this list to see what they should buy
lol
you should get to PRing because some people...
if its not confirmed working its a schrodingers zigbee device until it is confirmed ๐
Well, it's a good place to start. ZHA (unlike Z2M) doesn't require every device to be registered, as it assumes the device will follow spec and just work.
Z2M requires every device to be specifically registered with any "quirks" that it might have.
@mellow geode you can simply send me zigbee modelid's and i can do the update
i think there was some export function for that too but i don't know if its in the normal ZHA release
@violet dagger thanks.
I've seen many people assuming that too. Anda also some saying "z2m is better because that site says it supports more devices!", while the truth is exactly the opposite: ZHA should support pretty much any device that is spec-compliant
I've had better luck with ZHA apart from this TRV, everything else just worked for me!
Hi do anyone know how to acces the old webui in deCONZ, i click it and it just open the same interface in a new window
Old WebApp version
Open Wireless Light Control (2016)
In the log i see unknown cluster 61184, anyone have any ideas?
So I switch over from DeCONZ to ZHA and discovered all the temperature attributes reported from my Aqara motion sensors and vibration sensors no longer show up. Now granted knowing the temperature of my mail from one of the vibration sensors is more amusing than practical, the motion sensors scattered around the property did serve a purpose.
Is there some way I can get this back?
@violet dagger Can I recomment you to putit like NotTested Icon over integration Icon when Its not tested?
what do you mean by that?
because of that @violet dagger
you still didn't elaborate on what do you mean by that
Is there a "Zigbee Repeater/Extender" device?
And I don't mean a device which also is an AP but rather just like a WiFi repeater/Extender..
Most mains-powered Zigbee devices act as routers
Exceptions include Sengled bulbs and most no-neutral switches
I've never seen one, and I've looked. I just use a Zigbee type plug-in outlet for range extending and it works just dandy.
Ikea makes a dedicated Zigbee repeater
there's a couple "commercial", most are diy
Really? Can't find any
Will go with a socket plug I guess.. Will look for the cheapest in this case ๐
Hi all. Just trying to pair an ikea tradfri bulb with my sonoff zbbridge and ZHA. Bulb is pulsing (in pairing mode), ZHA is searching, nothing is showing up. Any tips on how to fix/debug?
turn the bulb off and then on again one more time
So get it in to pairing mode, start ZHA searching, then turn the bulb off and on again?
yeah, I've had to do that occassionally with all kinds of different bulbs.
but put ZHA in pairing mode before you turn the light back on.
The bulb's not even pulsing now
then I go back to the sequence of turning the bulb off/on a dozen times quickly and starting over.
sometimes I have to do this with a desk lamp right next the the zigbee transceiver
Yeah, I made sure the receiver is within about 4 inches of the bulb
I am out of ideas
Is it possible to use one of the controls to pair the bulbs, a-la the ikea app?
probably not. when I have moved stuff from one system to another, I've had to do the on/off many time shuffle to reset everything.
@gentle fern what bridge are you using?
Sonoff snzb-01
flashed with tasmota? I had the same issue with some of my ikea bulbs or other devices.
snzb-01 is the switch not the bridge
the only thing that helped me with the sonoff bridge : restart everything. Remove the bulb and delete the db. Restart again and keep trying
for some reason the sonoff devices (Bridge, switch, PIR) can be a little bit of pain to get working.
@primal ibex why not use a smart plug to extend the range?
Guess that what I will do.. got a recommended one? :)
The trรฅdfri ones are good but they're also huge
Prefer something from aliexpress..
๐
The BlitzWolf ones seem to be nice (BW-SHP13) (there are also WiFi models and you don't want those)
They are EU plugs
Yeah we'd need to know where you live
@chrome ocean The sonoff stuff has been spot on for me (and yeah, I meant the bridge not switch). It's flashed with tasmota then enabled for ZHA. All my sensors pair fine, sonoff or tradfri. But the one bulb I've tried refuses to be seen
I think the intent is to show your visitors that the device was not tested with ZHA/Z2M/Deconz, instead of not supported. So instead of people thinking "ZHA is not here, so this device does not work there", they think "ok, no one tested, but it may work"
I am using the Osram Smart Plug+. But pretty much any smart plug will extend you network and you can use the outlet
lucky you ๐ I had to switch away from the sonoff bridge since it had a lot of issues. The only thing that worked for me with devices that will not show up is to repeat the cycle a bunch of time. Up to 15 in the worst case
:/ That is not ideal
no at all. try that with 50 devices after you reset everything and tell you wife it will work again ๐
what do you see in the tasmota consol if you start the pairing process?
@golden vessel so i should put that it probably works with zha but there's a chance it might not?
other than I can no longer see the temperature of my mail... yes, ZHA works where others don't seem to.
@violet dagger not sure what would be the best way. Maybe add a "*May also work with ZHA", bellow the "Confirmed working with:", with a link explaining that devices that implement Zigbee correctly work out of the box with ZHA?
I'll be polite and just say no
why would you be impolite? lol
I mean it is misleading
Not wrong, since "Confirmed working with" is true, but most of the device database being based on Z2M and its requirement to explicitly support devices kinda gives the impression that ZHA doesn't support much
Do you pull in model/manufacturer info from https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/ ?
to be fair, the ZHA docs do state this: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#knowing-which-devices-are-supported
Since when do people exhaustively read all available documentation?
i'd assume almost never. perhaps that part needs to be moved up
yep. that is why I was suggesting making it more obvious in blakadder website. but apparently my suggestion was somehow offensive?
Is there some working way to reset phoscon password?
I cant access it with pass I was always using and password reset button doesn't work (tried right after restarting integration and after rebooting raspi)
Not mentioning it is as good as 'might work, might not'. What you have already isn't a problem ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Is there anybody there have any experiance with the IKEA fyrtur blinds, currently i can't get them working they worked last night but not now, i'm running conbee II and deCONZ
It's not on my site to explain how zha works. If someone cant the bothered to read a page or two about how ZHA works but seems very passionate about me doing that work for them he might be better served not even using my site
@half mountain is this the correct setup ```mqtt:

Or set it up at configuration > integrations @raven chasm

You might need the birth and last will part
It does by default
Try to send an mqtt message using the mqtt.publish service in the developer tools
And look at the mosquitto logs in your other instance to see if it shows up
I don't know what's happening, i have one that is responding and three that aren't
That way you can rule out an MQTT issue and start checking Z2M
I did some digging around and it seems a bit difficult to start color effects over zigbee using standard ZCL ๐
Tuya uses those custom commands such that you need quirks
And I most like won't get zha/Z2M that far to include quirks just for my project
what project?
I'm trying to build an own zigbee rgb led strip controller
For addressable leds
But I want to have effects for different colors on different leds
Does scenes buy you anything?
Hmm maybe I can misuse them
It's also not a good idea to create an endpoint for each led ๐
I have never dug on the color stuff so I don't have much helpful to add -- but I think that is how IKEA works, with ZLL scenes
Hmm I will look if I can find something
Okayokay I'm building a zigbee Nanoleaf version, so I need 30/50 leafs with funny effects
I hope someone can help, i had setup my conbee and deconz and it worked, i added four Fyrtur roller blinds last night, they where working this morning. and now at lost a lot of sensors on the net it dropped from 86 to 46 nodes on the network....
Could you expose each led individually? Like two gang switches expose two relays
And use scenes for effects over multiple leds
Having seen the wifi versions, it seems a like a super challenging use case
Wirelessly controlled lighting with animations seems like a job for WLED (or similar).
so i'm completely at a lost, here lost a lot of devices in my zgibee network, some are coming back, others seems to here "online" but are uncontrollable? anyone there can help?
@half mountain I was able to successfully publish from my mqtt broker, but I see a few issues. 1) I was only able to publish on port 1883. 2) I was only able to see what I had published by using MQTT explorer, not my other machine which mean I still need to some configuring.
I guess you tried restarting HA but did You also reboot the host system?
both yes ๐
@raven chasm should be as simple as
- Set up an MQTT broker
- Connect to the broker from HA with username/password if set
- ????
i got my blinds back by repairing them.... and it seems like my sensors are coming when they get updated...... Have no idea on what going on.
Since I saw you have been using conbee2 for a while I'm guessing you did not use a usb3 port...mhhh.
Nope, all new, just moved from the hue and xiaomi hub..... but as far as i know the respbarry pi 3b+ dont have usb 3..... but i'm gonna check up on that now...
nope the 3b+ don't usb3
I understand that it may seem so simple for some, but unfortunately I am struggling a bit. I have read the guides a few times and they are not helping. so how to I begin to publish the state of my device to my broker?
Zigbee2mqtt?

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/integration/home_assistant.html
@orchid mural I remember that I had a similar issue the first time. But I don't remember what I did. I did end up deleting deconz, resetting and starting new. Since then I had now issues. Do you see any errors in the logs when you increase the log level?
*no issues
as far as i could see there where no errors, but didn't check of curse before i had the issue only after i had tried restarting a couple of times....
The devices that are online but cannot be controlled : is that only from the HA ui? Can you controll them from phoscon or deconz?
nope it's seems to be everywhere....
Are those devices with good coverage?
okay now it happend again!!!!!! but this time i kinda know what happende..... by mistake i closed deconz, which would be the same as a restart i did. And now nothing is working again.....
down to 44 nodes from 86 again....
Very strange. Will test it on my system. How did you close it exactly?
are you also running conbee and deconz.
went into the addon chose open web ui, chose deconz and clicked file quit
Ok i never did that ;) let me backup first . One moment
and i think it fist the bill, as i did set the network port in order to access deconz directly which i think would be the same as quiting...
Ok so I tried what you just did and nothing bad happened ๐ so I cannot reproduce the issue. Why would you choose the file quit option? I always just change to different ui. I don't think restarting has the same effect since the containers are shut down in a right way.
yeah it was a mistake ๐
but it seems like the sensors are coming back, as soon as they have an update....
but all my rollerblinds are now dead, and last i had to repair then in order to get them back...
So Hue has this Hue Labs with all kind of funny effects, but is it the gateway that is continuously controlling the light bulbs?
The apps do the effects. The bulb does on/off with transitions and such. They only have "colorloop" and "random" built in
Ah okay
the apps just say, transition from this color to this color and Hue has the functionality to do the transition but not much else
so the app is continuously setting the color, brightness and move things and such?
yep
That will make it hard to transfer it to lets say ZHA/deConz/Z2M
Well, I'm afraid that I will have to use wifi after all for my application๐ข
if you expose each leaf as a light, you could use the above
yeah, you would need a better coordinator and even then not might not be great
There's nothing too horrible about manufacturer-specific commands. Just as long as you write the quirks ๐
better, not comparing what you have now. just a decent one
wifi in my opinion would be the coolest for leafs but I know you really wanted to prod around with zigbee :p
I guess its not that easy to add a quirk without recompiling and such
Gehehe, maybe It's after all better to reconsider my wish for zigbee and take my defeat
Do you know if you can "ping" a device in order to force an update, it seems like one rollerblind connects fine but the last three dont'
I go to sleep
okay so I got zigbee2mqtt added and setup, but i am getting this error https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/Ym4NFNfWnR/
cannot open /dev/ttyACM0'
Device path is wrong
I think zigbee2mqtt has an option but I never looked for it with deconz
Do you see the 3 devices in the deconz network map
would it be okay if i dm'd you dirrectly...
There you can click the read network address or something I think that should try to update
Sure
okay so I have addressed the device path error, but I am still getting an error message https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/q2tcHGHVSx/
hi
how to pair this
in zha???
um cncelho, nao usem os grupos do zigbee no zha
lixoume tudo
estou a fazer as reconecรงรตes todas outra vez
Anyone able to help e sort out what I am seeing in my error log?
Are you sure you are actually writing to your coordinator and not another device?
confirmed it in my config.yaml file ```zha:
usb_path: /dev/ttyUSB1
database_path: /config/zigbee.db ```
I shared that to show you that I have the correct device path. which was an issue you pointed out in my first set of error log.
You were talking about zigbee2mqtt and then I see zha config
why are you showing me a zha config to say it is the correct path?
what coordinator are you trying to use? I should have asked that before.
@violet dagger I can confirme that works fine in zha
Run ls -l /dev/serial/by-id/
what works fine in zha?
