Really? I feel like I would need 4 automations to match just one part of my light flow

tender cosmos
#

I could still keep node and get rid of Mqtt tho

gentle fern
#

Totally

tender cosmos
#

Does mqtt offer anything above what I can do with zha?

gentle fern
#

Depends on whether you've got any node red mqtt listeners

tender cosmos
#

I do but I could replace those with the HA pallets

gentle fern
#

I've got the 4 of the snzb-04s and they're solid. Much better than the ikea ones. They actually check in and don't drop off the network!

gentle fern
tender cosmos
#

Tbh the service calls in HA have more functionality than z2m, I guess I’m trying to understand if there is any point in using z2m anymore since zha is maturing

gentle fern
#

That's fair. I just wish I could pair my ikea bulbs

tender cosmos
gentle fern
#

I've heard other people say that they have had to try pairing their ikea bulbs up to like 15 times before it took

tender cosmos
#

Right, I had a similar experience with my Aqara sensors on z2m though 🙂

#

Also my ikea ones weren’t fantastic for pairing either

gentle fern
#

It's really frustrating. I'm wondering whether the network channel has anything to do with it

tender cosmos
#

Is there any use for mqtt outside of this though

gentle fern
#

The advantage is that more things outside of HA talk it, I guess. But if all you're using is HA then maybe not

sour shadow
#

I use MQTT for many other things, and really like having HA and my Zigbee stacks decoupled

Hello, im seaching for an temperature/humidity sensor (perferably zigbee), currently i got the TuYa TS0201, but the update delay is way too long, to track everything, has anyone a recomendation for better ones (perferably with display)

#

I notice my zigbee2mqtt raspberry pi crashes like once a week, a poweroff fixes it. What log could I check? I noticed mosquitto log has no timestamps

sour shadow
#

Kernel log?

fallow warren
#

Seems to only contain the startup info

sour shadow
#

There should be older files in /var/log

fallow warren
#

yea i checked both from 28 jan when i booted it and 23. il try to find timestamp of when i loist it

sour shadow
#

Crashes on a Zero aren't unknown. On any Pi it's usually power or SD card

fallow warren
#

Hmm I find some in the syslog on the timestamp, I see alot of MQTT activity at 17:33 just when I lost connectivity. But nothing at this time in the recent kernel logs

sour shadow
#

Failing SD would be in the logs, so it's more likely to be power

fallow warren
#

Well it is always powered on, and works after a poweroff\poweron so it cant have been a power outage. But maybe something from with the voltages etc idk?

sour shadow
#

Pi's are fussy about getting reliable power

fallow warren
#

Anyway I could reboot it every second night as long as it doesnt turn all lighs to 100% when it wakes up

sour shadow
#

If you run them on anything other than a quality 2.5A power supply then it can fall over

fallow warren
#

Aha thats probably it then thansk

#

A proactive system reboot wouldnt help much with the power either i assume, since that hardware

#

it's also that the official supplies supply 5.1v to combat vdroop over the wires

Hello. I am looking for wall switch with ideally 3 small buttons, that would communicate using zigbee. Can be plugged to former 220V wall switch location to receive power (but not to open/close the main). From a design perspective: something of this type https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/4000540026254.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.6f3e4b023il9ma&algo_pvid=521a6fce-4d21-4a1b-96b9-aa0a929da219&algo_expid=521a6fce-4d21-4a1b-96b9-aa0a929da219-17&btsid=2100bddb16118396446456181e4464&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_

#

Would you have any recommendations ?

raw gale
#

So I recently have this Linkind keypad, to arm and disarm my HA manual alarm, but it only registers its battery level and IAS zone; any idea how I can use it as an actual keypad?

ivory hound
#

Just what happen to me: :))))
So I have a SmartThings Button connected to zigbee network via ZHA, powered by a Panasonic CR2450 (remember it it is important) and my battery show under 50% power. So I thought, lets change the battery, did just that and put in it a Varta CR2450. After this i notice single press of the button automation doesn't work anymore but long press still works. So at this point I am thinking, heh zigbee, let's re pair it, I do that and still nothing. With that Varta battery in I could not make that single press work (no events in zha_event at all). I rip off battery measure it, voltage over 3,2V unlike Panasonic one that had under 3V. I put back Panasonic battery, everything works just fine, change to Varta same story, single push button doesn't work at all.
Explain that? 🙂 Ofc I've put a new Panasonic battery in it now and works ok now. Zigbee conspiracy or Samsung just hate Varta? :))

#

@raw gale Zigbee fire events, is normal to see only battery of that keypad

molten linden
#

I do not believe keypads are fully supported in ZHA yet.

raw gale
#

will play a bit more with it today

ivory hound
#

@raw gale what zigbee integration do you use? see if it's supported

raw gale
#

it blinks its 'connection' led too, will try to re-pair it first

ivory hound
#

@raw gale i think there is a way to add it to zha, i am not sure how but you can find on internet what to do to add a device, what you need to provide for the guys to make a handlers (i think they are call) for that device

raw gale
#

hm, status says it saw the device 15 minutes ago, so it should be paired correctly still (did so last evening)

ivory hound
#

if is not according to zigbee spec then needs a handler

#

you have a link for this device

#

?

raw gale
#

product page?

ivory hound
#

ye

#

i want to see it

raw gale
#

it's the keypad in this one

#

the sensors just work 🙂

#

I have the model and fcc id for you if you like 😉

ivory hound
#

ZHA works in this way: let any device join the network, if is according to zigbee specs works out of the box, if is not according to zigbee specs it needs a handler or this is my understanding, the facts that it let it join the network does not mean it works 100%

raw gale
#

I am aware; I think the reason I am here is more the "what can I do from here?". I would like to help a dev get this integrated

ivory hound
#

omg that keypad looks sick

#

very cool

raw gale
#

yeah 🙂

#

it is, has nice led backlight too, but well... It does not work like I want (yet) 😉

#

and I refuse to use its mothership siren hub thingee

#

as that defies the purpose of it arming/disarming the HA built-in manual alarm thing

ivory hound
#

dmulcahey commented on May 18, 2020 - Yep. I’ll get back to this soon hopefully

#

yah don't hold your breath 🙂

#

and the sensors all work?

raw gale
#

yeah, I paired a contact sensor just fine (that one is listed as supported, along with the motion sensor)

#

keypad is a different story in general, of course, as it is not really a sensor, switch or light, but a category on its own, but was hoping for a bit more support

#

it's hard to find good keypads 🙂

ivory hound
raw gale
#

ah, sure

ivory hound
#

just so others would benefit and buy them

raw gale
#

thought it already listed them, but maybe it was a different list I saw them on

ivory hound
#

dunno did not look for them but pls make sure they are there also

raw gale
#

the keypad is not listed at all

ivory hound
ivory hound
raw gale
#

oh right, I'll add those then

Hey ho, is there a huge difference between the CC2531 and the Conbee II?

obsidian sandalBOT
#

The CC2531 and CC2530 sticks are cheap for a reason. They're fine for testing, but do yourself a favour and buy something better.

Command '~cc253x' was invoked by: Tinkerer
sour shadow
#

Depends on which integration you'll be using it with, but ... yeah, don't buy the CC2530/31

hollow token
#

ok , my NAS dont accept the Conbee II , and with the cc2531 i have many interruptions (not available entitites)

sour shadow
#

Well, which integration are you using/planning on using?

#

zha? Zigbee2MQTT?

ivory hound
#

@hollow token what nas do you have

#

?

hollow token
#

Sorry, im here again

#

Zha

#

Hellcry i use a qnap virtual machine

ivory hound
#

i dunno if this apply but read into it:

#

etc

#

and you go from here

#

tbh i used my old conbee 2 on a synology DS716+II and works well without any oth that

hollow token
#

Hm, ok with me it didn't recognize it as a USB device at all, interesting threads

ivory hound
#

with docker

#

i think you are missing some drivers

hollow token
#

i dont use docker, but the main os from the nas does not recognize it

ivory hound
#

yep, check if someone did some drivers for qnap

hollow token
ivory hound
#

and trust me use docker is the best, any addons you might have on hasos you can get and configure as separate docker containers, becuase they are just that

hollow token
#

wouldnt help

#

yeah i know but i love the supervisor part on hasos

I'm working on a serial over ethernet bridge coordinator that will solve access issues for vm users.

#

Do you have plans to (eventually) ship it to Europe? (Germany)

hollow token
#

Yeah germany would be nice

#

😉

molten linden
#

I mean if the cost isn't prohibitive. I haven't really looked into it yet. I'm in the US. - head deep in finalizing the design and testing.

#

And i thought about a nuc, would be great when it works

#

I need to move my PC (with HUSB Zigbee stick) to another room/floor of my house. Is this going to screw up my mesh? Is there anything I should do before/after I move it?

dry fossil
#

It should be fine, Zigbee meshes are self-healing.

alpine arrow
#

Excellent, thanks!

sour shadow
#

Worst case, it takes up to 24 hours to fully settle

alpine arrow
#

ah, that's ok, nothing crisis-causing. Waiting on zwave advice, but yeah, the move is going ot happen. Centralizing is good!

Hi. Greetings from Austria.
I'm facing an issue with ZHA and an Aqara opple 6-button switch, and I'm not 100% sure if it's a 'bug' or if I'm doing something wrong.

#

The setup: ZHA -> TCP/8888 to an sonoff zbbridge... everything working as expected, just the Opple switches are sending ZLL commands (on,off,step,move...) instead of 1_single, 1_double,1_triple etc.

#

Found this issue on tasmota github page: https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/issues/9823
If I stop using the tcp socket connection and use zigbee2tasmota instead, I can switch the mode of the opple switch by issuing the command ZbSend {"Device":"0x1234","Manuf":"0x115F","Write":{"OppleMode":1}}

#

After binding them to ZHA again, the mode seems to be ZLL again 😦

amber gull
#

You can write attributes using ZHA too

#

Look at the zha.set_zigbee_cluster_attribute service -- use the decimal value of the commands in the above linked issue

# 
ZbSend {"Device":"0x5E59","Manuf":"0x115F","Write":{"FCC0/0009%10":1}}
ZbSend {"Device":"0x5E59","Manuf":"0x115F","Write":{"FCC0/0009%10":0}
#

Use IEEE instead of NWK, 0x115F would be 4447, assume FCC0 is cluster and attribute, you'd have to look through "manage clusters" under ZHA to see

#

Don't know if that buys you anything in solving your root problem, but that's a start -- gotta run for now

random minnow
#

great. thanks. I'll try this out tomorrow and will send some feedback then.
I have already looked to set_zigbee_cluster_attribute service, but it looks like I was jumping away from it too fast and tried other stuff 🙈

gentle flint
#

should be able to write the attributes through the UI too

junior viper
#

Anyone tried Hassio in ESXi along with Zigbee2mqtt?

carmine zodiac
#

Any recommended humidity sensor? I'm using zha

molten linden
#

I have a konke temp/humidity controlling my bathroom fan. It works well.

marsh plank
#

hey, is anybody using an aqara magic cube with zha (conbee2). can't get (double) tap working. slide, drop, shake etc are working. there's also no battery info. is this normal?

barren spade
#

I might've done something stupid.
I have HA set up and working with ikea TRADFRI lights and motion sensors using the ikea gateway hub and running HA on a rpi3. I wanted to switch to zigbee2mqtt and got a zzh dongle, set it up with a remote controller and everything worked fine. My problem is that during recent renovations I removed all light switches from the walls (complete do over of everything), so basically I have no way to easily reset my ikea FLOALT and other bulbs short of flipping the main breaker quickly.

TLDR: Is there a way to reset ikea lights or connect to them if I don't have wall switches or dimmers I can connect them to?

sour shadow
#

No wall switches? 🤣

#

That's not very friendly to normal people, and I hope you have plans for when you'll do when that Pi dies

#

Sadly, yes, you need to toggle power to the bulbs...

barren spade
#

I thought just putting a few zigbee switches on the wall would do and then I wouldn't need the wiring in the walls. Also I could move them about when putting in new furniture etc.

sour shadow
#

I'm assuming you've checked that what you've done is legal, and won't cause you problems if/when you try to sell the house, or even insure it 😉

barren spade
#

How would it be illegal? it's my house

sour shadow
#

Wiring standards vary across the world 😉

#

If you've made changes against local regulations you may find that you can't sell the house, and your insurance is invalidated

barren spade
#

To be honest you're not really helping. It was done by a trained electrician, but it's not exactly rocket science. The wirings in the thin concrete walls were very old and dangerous(thin, ungrounded, old aluminium wires), so I had the whole thing removed and a completely new network done in the suspended ceiling. I didn't want switches because I'd have neeeded to run ugly raceways to all light switches or chisel the thin walls somehow which wasn't really an option. It works as intended with the TRADFRI hub and remote pairing and I have ikea switches to every light in every room attached to the walls. The problem is needing to reset them to connect to zigbee2mqtt.

south dune
#

screw them out- and into their sockets?

barren spade
#

I have a seperate breaker for the lighting, so I can do that in the end. If it doesn't work with doing them all at the aame time I can disconnect the other ones and do them one at a time. Thanks @south dune

#

I was just hoping there was a way to send a reset command to the bulbs somehow

amber gull
#

You may be able to ZLL reset individual bulbs with a remote

#

(Or with z2m on a laptop held up to the ceiling)

fossil spear
#

Holy hell. you need physical switches. even if you wanted to cause yourself a headache down the road redoing stuff don't cause yourself to have to suffer with just candle light because you didn't want to rerun wiring for a physical switch.

dry fossil
#

Plus resetting the breaker to repair a bulb is madness. You'll have to repair every bulb on that breaker each time.

barren spade
#

I was planning on having switches, just wireless ones :D :D

#

that was the whole point. I'm rewiring all the lights so they go into a hidden switch panel so I can trigger them individually if I really need to.

barren spade
violet dagger
#

i'm seeing an increased number of compatibility submissions for deconz and zha to my site, thanks everyone and keep it up!

fossil spear
#

you cannot escape the fact that some point this smart home stuff will break/change/discontinue but wiring for a normal light switch will always be around

barren spade
fossil spear
#

so as Tinkerer brought up, you have 0 intentions of ever selling your home?

barren spade
fossil spear
#

ok well if you tuck light switches in a cupboard now and lets say 30+ years later you do want to sell your home, you are going to either risk taking a huge cut on it's worth or have to dish a huge chunk to fix the issue

barren spade
#

but this solution still leaves the option of easily installing switches if I want to

fossil spear
#

but all located ina cupboard?

#

unless all these switches are for lights in the same room like a theater

amber gull
#

Let him who lives in a thin concrete wall house cast the first stone 😂🤦‍♂️

fossil spear
#

well obviously we don't see exactly what your situation is but if you doing anything other than placing light switch boxes in where "normal" light switches would be, all you are doing is sticking your foot out to be shot down the road

barren spade
#

Sadly I can't send pictures

fossil spear
#

don't need pictures as long as you understand what we are trying to say

#

just trying to save you in the long run

barren spade
#

I have legrand decorative raceways going all along the edges of the rooms, so I can easily place outlets wherever I want

#

the wiring is in place so all I need is a bit of cabling and a standard raceway to install switches wherever I want innthe future

#

I get what you guys are saying

fossil spear
#

the other thing most people over look is the toll time has on all of us. bending over and doing all kinds of stuff is easily and not a hassle when you are younger but at some point when we age, that just becomes a nightmare and for some not even a possibility lol

barren spade
#

Oh yeah, sometimes you don't want to tinker with anything. We're still doing renovations and Ive been using the smart lights without wired switches, but physical wireless switches in each room for a month now and it was good.

fossil spear
#

everything breaks at some point tho

barren spade
#

Even if there's an outage or something it works right afterwards. I just wanted to experiment and upgrade to zigbee2mqtt but the connecting bit is a pain so far

#

I really don't think it's as ludicrous to not have wired switches to each light as you make it out to be.

fossil spear
#

I use lutron switches that has those canopy modules that go in the ceiling fan. i had had to replace two of them so far in the past 15 years and although they were easier then to deal with, now it's a major headache. thankfully the newer models of the same switches don't use those canopys so I don't have to drop the cieling fan ever again

#

it's just thje point, we get old, crap breaks and changes

#

so you always have to plan for that

barren spade
#

If zigbee dies I could just replace all the bulbs / panel and switch to the new standard no?

#

All in all, I can install switches if I want to later easily and without much cost. It'd be just kind if ugly.

#

But I do get what you're saying. I just felt like I was made fun of for no reason in the previous conversation.

amber gull
#

Well back to your question

#

You can use the IKEA remotes to reset bulbs

#

You just have to hold the remote a few inches/cm away

barren spade
#

Cool, because you connect them to the ikea gateway in a similar way

#

I just haven't made the connection that it's the same reset probably.

amber gull
#

Yes, its a ZLL touchlink reset. Built into the protocol. Works for Hue stuff too

barren spade
#

That's all I needed, I'll try it when I get home

#

thanks again

#

386... Someone is WRONG on the internet?

barren spade
#

I get it, still didn't feel good. It's also reversible in multiple ways easily if it comes to that, just kind of ugly.

fossil spear
#

as long as it's reversible in the sense it doesn't cost you an arm and leg later your good lol

barren spade
#

If I want to sell I'll have much more of a problem with the pipes filled with water installed in the ceiling drywall for heating and cooling everything

fossil spear
#

well in some cases lighting a match and walking away seems the most logical answer lol

barren spade
#

Im going a bit overboard for sure, but it's fine. I've had the same heat pump based cooling in a rented house before and it's an awesome feeling.

Hi all.
My icasa remote triggers all phillips devices. Is there a workaround?

amber gull
#

Check your groups?

mighty river
#

They’re not in the same group, the buttons weren’t even programmed

#

When I connect the remote to conbee, without programming any automation, it triggers all my lights

#

Maybe the ecodim/icasa switch send a zigbee command that turns them all on?

amber gull
#

like to a group?

How much expected battery life for Aqura zigbee motion detector & Aqura zigbee door detector. as in my home those are running since last year. & homeassistant graphic battery detector still showing them 90% + battery life. so i am thinking battery graph shown is not reliable. as many of motion detector in my home triggered 100 times a day so realistically battery consumption should be more then representing.

amber gull
#

Going on two to three years here, never changed a battery

#

battery reporting is not going to be too precise though

#

just run them till they die and don't worry about it

Just setup ZHA with a CC2652RB-based USB-stick and paired two Tradfri bulbs as well as an Eurotronic Spirit ZigBee thermostat, worked out pretty well :)

amber gull
#

Look ma, no crystals!

#

Thermostat and climate support too, wow

mighty river
#

yup, that one took a bit longer to pair (it's one of the quirk devices in zha so that might be related) but it worked

#

now I have to move the stick to its final machine and re-pair the remaining tradfri lamps

verbal mulch
#

do someone know if i can connect aqara opple 6 switch with zha and zbbridge?

junior viper
#

Hey, what's the reason I can't add some devices to zigbee2mgtt? I can add 5-6 trådfri bulbs, but not able to add the rest of my bulbs with the exact same model. Zigbee2mgtt says unsupported

mellow geode

junior viper
#

Try and try and try? First time I setup my devices it went directly at first try 😂

dry fossil
#

It took me around 30 attempts to get my IKEA repeater working 🤷‍♂️

#

Now that it's on the network, it's reliable... getting it onto the network was infuriating.

junior viper
#

What the f*ck 😂😂

#

On/off six times?

#

I guess thats what I need to do. What's funny is as soon as I press the physical button to turn lamp on, it states green in zigbee2mgtt (interview bla bla) but won't appear anyway

mighty river
#

The only odd thing I saw that the thermostat switched itself on back again after its window-open detection but did not restore the correct temperature. Will have to check if it does that every time or if it was just an initial hickup.

foggy dragon
#

Alright, I was able to copy EUI64 from the husbzb to a zbbridge. How do I now migrate the ZHA- do I have to remove it from integrations and then readd it? Will that lost my devices?

amber gull
#

It's me, batman.

#

You can remove the integration and add it back but I believe that deletes all of your automations with device triggers

#

Or you can backup and edit .storage/core.config_entries

rapid wadi
#

I don’t have a good mental model of how my zigbee devices communicate. Most are battery, and I have powered repeaters. How do the battery devices work out which repeater to use? Do the repeaters constantly announce themselves? Do the battery devices address their transmissions to the repeaters via an ID? What should I go read? 🙂

dry fossil
rapid wadi
#

Was hoping more for something aimed and people (like me) using zigbee, rather than reading the actual spec. I don’t plan to build a device

#

I swapped out some repeaters, some devices work, others took a while. I don’t really understand why or how to troubleshoot (as an example of why I’m interested)

dry fossil
#

If you're an end user, you only need to know that it's a self-healing mesh, not how it heals.

rapid wadi
#

Not quite true I’d say 🙂 I’m replacing flaky repeaters with others that appear to have shorter range. I appear to need to re-pair the battery devices. Some work, some don’t and I’m at a loss to understand why one in particular won’t, etc

dry fossil
#

Not quite enough range = move them closer or put another one in the middle.

rapid wadi
#

Yep, and in this case there is another very close to that device, which didn’t get changed out. That repeater appears just fine, but the device does not

#

Controller -> ewelink -> ikea repeater -> aqara door sensor (as an example). From time to time my aqara environmental sensors just drop off the network too

dry fossil
#

Aqara don't comply with the specification 100%, so this is a case where understanding the spec isn't going to help you either.

#

They basically stay paired to whatever they were initially paired to.

rapid wadi
#

Ah. Same process I used to reset the others just isn’t working on this one device (which is also near the ikea repeater .. maybe I should ditch it)

dry fossil
#

With the Aqara stuff, just pair it where you'll use it. Don't try to fool it into pairing to something different.

amber gull
#

Battery powered devices transmit a beacon when they want to connect

#

The routers respond and the device can choose which one to connect and server as their parent -- spec dictates RSSI/LQI for choosing parent, but varies in reality

foggy dragon
#

Thanks @amber gull , I’ll try when I get home. To close the thread we had on Reddit- something was up on my device. Booted up a fresh raspberry pi, and it worked right away!

foggy dragon
#

@amber gull Got it working! Edited .storage/core.config_entries Only thing that's not there is the port speed (but everything works...so not sure how important that is).

amber gull
#

🥳

#

Nice job!

#

I wouldn't worry about port speed

foggy dragon

Thanks for all your help on this migration journey!

sigh.... after doing some network rebuilding, some of my zha devices are offline. i've tried power cycling the bulbs. not sure if i should wipe and rediscover or....

#

erm.. probably the wrong spot, but, I just got a conbee2 stick and I'm trying to run deconz in docker and the gateway (conbee stick) isn't showing up in Phoscon. I've passed the container the /dev/serial/by-id/ of the conbee2 stick, but... any ideas why it doesn't show?

#

oh god.... my ubiquiti dream machine is doing the thing again where there there's some sort of client isolation happening.

it will work fine after a reboot. sigh.... maybe a cron reboot daily until their shit is sorted out

vivid tiger
#

nvm. switched to using /dev/ttyACM0 and it picked it up instantly. 🤷‍♂️

austere patio
vivid tiger
#

that's how it's mapped. when I passed the id in my docker-compose.yaml it didn't pick it up but using /dev/ttyACM0 did. It's odd that I can't connect to it by ID through docker, because I'd rather do that in case the ports get moved around at some later point

#

or maybe I just said I'm doing what you said I shouldn't do....

The host is the one that will be creating the /dev/ttyACM0 device so if it decides to reorder them due to hardware reconfiguration, the container won't be passed the correct device

vivid tiger
#

right

austere patio
#

But if you don't care enough to investigate the issue and will live with the fact that swapping the order of USB ports will potentially break things then I won't blame you

vivid tiger
#

I'm just happy it works. I can get it passed properly eventually. What strikes me as odd is that my zwave usb stick is passed to HA in docker via ID and it works fine, but for some reason this didn't...

Is EmberZNet 6.8.2 recommended for Elelabs? Or should I stick with 6.7.8?

amber gull
#

I believe 6.7.8 has some fixes that have not made it into 6.8.2.

#

But I haven't personally tested either extensively

has anyone been able to install conbee 2 on server 2012 r2

#

Is it possible to restart a z2m device through HA? It no longer reacts to motion

near echo
#

by z2m device in your statement you mean the motion sensor or the co-ordinator?

fallow warren
#

yea its a aqara motion sensor

#

zigbee

#

its connected to home assistant through Zigbee2mqtt

near echo
#

does z2m logs show any action when the motion is triggered or any error logs? You may also double check whether the motion sensor has really lost the connection to co-ordinator by clicking on "map" on the Z2M UI. If you get a red pop-up for that device than it is no longer found / paired. Click on "Permit_join" and re-pair your motion sensor. Remember to switch off the Permit Join after motion sensor is re-paired

south dune
#

my experience with the aqara motions sensors is that they sometimes stop responding, so yeah repairing is the solution

south dune
sour shadow
#

It has a UI 😉

#

It's had it since 1.15 ISTR

near echo
#

ah Tinkerer beat me to it 🙂

sour shadow
#

I've had no issues with my Aqara motion sensor stopping responding since I ensured a better connection to the mesh

#

Even before it was fine for ... over a year

south dune
#

I have 2 repeaters (tradfri) on the 1st and 2nd floor, and multiple powered sockets at the ground floor, so that should cover all my floors, and my motion sensor that is 1 m away from the repeater still looses connection. Anyway, have to look at frontend now 😄

near echo
#

yep - check the map and the LQI

swift fable
#

Hi, I have zigbee Zemismart 4 inch downlight with driver integrated (not on the cable). Turing it on/off 5 times, but I can't make it pair (it was working fine first time, but after reinstall I've lost connection). When I open it, I see there is fnb5616 zigbee chip. As there is no reset button, any chance I can make it pair manually, or reset with joining some pins? 😄

near echo
#

not sure on the Zemismart - put the Z2m in the debug mode and try pairing again - check the logs, does the device announce?

fallow warren
#

Ok thanks @south dune . @near echo i will check that when i go home

swift fable
#

@near echo no, there is no announce. I think Zemismart light won't even switch to pairing mode, it should blink slowly, but it doesn't.

near echo
#

Is there any message triggered when you either switch off and on (Make sure you have the Permit Join enabled)? If not, then I dunno about the fnb5616 unless you know which pins are for reset, you might just damage the chip

swift fable
#

Yop, I have joining enabled, there are no messages. I am also afraid that I could damage the chip, but if I can't pair it, it is useless for me 😄

abstract hornet
#

Did anyone had any succes with Ledvance AC10691 smartplugs and Homeassistant (Z2m or zha) ? I can't get them discovered. They work fine on my conbee.

near echo
#

well I can't see any datasheet for the chip. @swift fable Do you know how to sniff the zigbee packets and port over wireshark?

south dune
#

also I have a few on 0 lqi

near echo
#

which co-ordinator?

south dune
#

does it take time to stabilize? and why are some routes not used that give better lqi? for instance esspresso is connecting to the coordinator, and not to a better connection

#

CC2531

near echo
#

with or without external Antenna? Generally CC2531 is not great device, but without antenna is even worse. Depending upon where you stay you might want to order a better co-ordinator - see Z2m page for the supported adapters

south dune
#

nods

#

but doesn't it matter that there are other powered devices? or is there still a limit because of the coordinator?

near echo
#

well co-ordinator is still a deciding factor in Zigbee. It is thread technology where 1 border router does not matter

south dune
#

I've ordered a recommended coordinator, we'll see once it arives.

#

I've had it with vanishing motion sensors and clicking switches several times before lights come on. not a good technology acceptance factor.

near echo
#

hopefully that changes with better co-ord

south dune
#

yes I hope so too, otherwise it's €45 down the drain 😄

near echo
#

yeah - really need cheap and good co-ord. There are great & cheap zigbee chips from Nordic - like nrf52840 dongle, but nobody (except me) seems to be working on that to make it compatible / speak to Z2M-herdsmen

south dune
#

I still have both a z2m and hue bridge, because I don't trust the z2m enough yet. if all fails I can google assistant -> hue directly in case any z2m / HA components fails.

#

if z2m gets better with the new coord, I might migrate the lamps too

#

also making the mesh much stronger, because I almost exclusively use hue or compatble lamps

near echo
#

it should definitely, there are lot of people in this forum using it with 100+ devices without issues

dry fossil
#

There are cheap and good coordinators. Slaesh and zzh! are great.

south dune
#

I ordered slaesh indeed, but with shipping and tax it's not exactly cheap ( not expensive either)

dry fossil
#

Cheaper than a lot of commercial hubs and way more capable. I'd call that a win.

#

I don't know what people are expecting when they say we need cheaper options. We already have the cheaper option compared to the consumer shit out there.

#

You want a $3 stick that works perfectly and handles a mesh of thousands of nodes? 🤔

south dune
#

oh, yeah, I agree, and no lock in

dry fossil
#

Exactly. People in this channel buying the dev boards are already winners.

#

And the great work on ZHA and Z2M means we get to enjoy almost any product we want.

violet dagger
#

what if you got one for free?

dry fossil
#

Free stuff? Definitely a winner 😄

#

But I don't get free stuff...

#

When I replaced my thermostat with a Hive, there was a hub in the box. It's still in the box.

south dune
#

I have two hue hubs, 1 in a box, because lamps with bridge are cheaper then without...

#

#

Hi, I would like to ask, if it's possible to connect zigbee light (especially philips hue) to home assistant to see light status (on/off, brigthness, color temperature), but still be able to controll the light with remote control, which is not connected to home assistant. Thank you!

south dune
#

you can connect the hue bridge to HA yes, and still use the app / remotes configured with the app on the lights

fiery heart
#

And if I have connected philips hue lights directly to HA (zigbee2mqtt) without hue bridge?

south dune
#

not sure, I think the remotes need to be connected to z2m and configured in HA then

raw gale
#

I would think they need to be, indeed; z2m is the coordinator then, and I don't think the Hue hub knows how to talk to HA

fiery heart
#

Thank you. Thats a pitty :/ Is there any solution if I want to controll zigbee light in case HA does not respond?

dawn sequoia
#

@last pawn the gateway pairs to the switches

#

And the switches pair to bulbs or sockets

#

I bought a socket with no switch and couldn't pair it

last pawn
#

@dawn sequoia Thank you.
zzh! seems like a good idea. Sadly out of stock.
If I understood it correctly, If I have a HA supported zigbee device, I can pair the ikea bulbs directly to HA with no switch?

mighty river
#

yes, that works

last pawn
#

Are the zigbee dongles being sold as "zigbee sniffer"? Or is that some kind of other device?

#

The DONGLE can burn its own program as a transceiver module.
Meh, seem like hassle.

#

slaesh’s CC2652RB stick is also out of stock :0

mighty river
#

pity, I just got one of those

last pawn
#

I guess if I don't want to hassle with flashing hardware, and zzh! and slaesh is out of stock, then ConBee II for 40 EUR is the way to go?

#

Sorry to ask again this very basic question. Did I understand it right, the zigbee integration into HA is called ZHA, and all devices on this list are supported? https://zigbee.blakadder.com/zha.html

dry fossil
#

ZHA is one integration.

#

It's the one that comes with HA. Another popular choice is Z2M, which is separate but communicates via MQTT.

#

There's also deCONZ 🤢

gloomy pivot
#

nice, I think my ZZH should be coming today 🎉

livid abyss
#

Is it normal that I can't use the "add device via this device" feature to add an Ikea remote via an Ikea bulb? When I try the Ikea bulb leaves the ZHA network and is directly tied to the remote after.

Trådfri paring is as painful as eating your own face

don't know, the bulbs here worked as usual

amber gull
#

@livid abyss what procedure are you using on the remote to add it? Are you perhaps inadvertently resetting the bulb via the remote? (ZLL touchlink reset)

livid abyss
#

I think that may be the case, I was pressing the button on the remote 5 times, but I think I should have long-pressed it? I'll try again.

#

Or rather the other way around, should have pressed 5 times. Seems to work now.

#

sorry Im new to trying zigbee. What brands/places do you buy bulbs from? Looking for recommendations

simple sentinel
#

I have personally only tried Phillips Hue, which are pricey. Seems like lots of people like IKEA Tradfri, but to pair you need to toggle the light 6 times if I have understood correctly. That wouldn't work for me, so I am happy I spent the money for Hues

gloomy pivot
#

I have an aqara light switch, which gets added by zha as a light entity... could anyone comment on what z2m would do with it? would it be a switch or a light?

simple sentinel
#

My Aqara T1 no neutral is added as a switch by z2m

#

If that helps

#

What model is your light switch?

rugged hinge
simple sentinel
#

They aren't that expensive here, but sure they are probably on the expensive side

gloomy pivot
#

@simple sentinel it's called lumi.switch.b2laus01 by zha 🤷🏼‍♀️

wicked raptor
#

How can I "unpair" an ikea controller from the lightbulb it natively paired to control?

gloomy pivot
#

amazon says it's WS-USC02

wicked raptor
#

it's also in ZHA it seems, but I've got no automation linking it to the bulb, but it is currently controlling a specific bulb that I don't want it to control

simple sentinel
#

there are pictures

#

in that example, you see it "Exposes" a switch

gloomy pivot
#

I do see that, cool

simple sentinel
#

Might be you find something different if you find your specific device but looks like it's at least two devices with switch entities, counting that one and mine

gloomy pivot
#

I literally JUST got a zzh stick in my mailbox, so I'll be setting up z2m today

simple sentinel
#

zzh comes highly recommended, all the best in your endeavors

gloomy pivot
#

I'll probably be around with questions, but I'm probably going to have to reread the docs about 500 times too or else I'll get shooed away lol

simple sentinel
#

Everyone here is (relatively) harmless, it's all good 😉

gloomy pivot
#

actually, i've already got a question: the z2m docs say i should (use CC26X2R1_*.zip) for the zzh

#

but the flashing guide for zzh says cc2538-bsl

#

is this right?

austere patio
#

Yes

#

cc2538-bsl.py does the flashing

#

CC26X2R1_*.zip contains the .hex firmware that you flash

gloomy pivot
#

ok coolsies

mellow geode
#

Not important, but is it still possible for the next version of Home Assistant to ship with a new zigpy-znp release?

gloomy pivot
#

i have pressed the bsl button while plugging in my stick, and verified that i'm in COM6, but getting this with the test bin:

C:\Users\David\Desktop\cc2538-bsl-master>cc2538-bsl.py -p COM6 -evw blink.bin
ERROR: No serial port found.
#

changed ports, detected as com7, tried that and got same error

#

i notice that if i plug it in without pressing the button, the led blinks pink, but not if i've been pressing the button

austere patio
#

Probably because it's pre-loaded with the blink firmware

#

When you hold down the button and plug it in you force it into the bootloader

gloomy pivot
#

ok so do i need to be pressing the button when i plug it in or not?

austere patio
#

Yes

gloomy pivot
#

interesting... docs didn't say anything about it being preloaded lol

#

that i saw anyways

austere patio
#

You don't have to flash the blink firmware first, just go with the final one

gloomy pivot
#

do i need to erase the flash?

austere patio
#

Yeah, that's what -e does

#

Just replace the blink.bin with the path to the .hex file

gloomy pivot
#

austere patio
#

I'm not sure how you're getting this error, that only seems to happen when you don't supply a port number and it fails to find one automatically

#

Can you try this on a non-windows platform?

gloomy pivot
#

should i try without giving one?

#

not easily, i'll need to set up a new device for it

#

or maybe boot a linux live disc

austere patio
#

Are you going to be running Z2M on Windows then?

gloomy pivot
#

no, i'll be running it in a docker container on my n2

#

but i can't run python on that

#

i updated drivers, lets see

#

nope, same error

austere patio
#

Let me try it on Windows

strange ibex
#

make sure you're holding the button for a few seconds after it is plugged in before you release; not just instantly releasing it

#

I use windows fine if it matters

gloomy pivot
#

unplugged, plugged to yet another port (COM8 this time, according to device manager), and held for about ten seconds

#

still get same error with -p COM8

you shouldn't have to

maybe try using the python command rather than relying on the header

Under "Ports" in Device Manager, you should see CH340 (COM*)

If you ran exactly those commands then it did nothing

it just was like "sup" to the bootloader

I think it kicks you back out of the bootloader though so you'll have to unplug it and do it again

it does. it will start blinking if the program is running

hmm, for most things i run an aarch64 docker container, they provide an arm64, will that work?

austere patio
#

I think they're the same thing?

gloomy pivot
#

ok

austere patio
#

Z2M should be cross platform

strange ibex

I thought there was firmware for zzh as repeater only but maybe I am blind or confused 😛

It may not have been released yet

I swore I have seen it but I guess not

#

oh, I didn't check dev branch

#

and... Error while starting zigbee-herdsman 🤦‍♂️

#

prob something in my config

#

if my device is at /dev/ttyUSB0, should i have this? - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyACM0

#

or should the second one also be ttyUSB0?

strange ibex

I wonder if the new firmware is in the latest dev of z2m

not in the one from last week 😛

gloomy pivot
#

ah yeah alright

strange ibex

If things are starting to move on your end it might not matter but this is my device section in docker-compose:

And that works great
My stick is from Slaesh, but it's suppose to be more or less the same thing

gloomy pivot
#

lol looks simple

#

i have now been able to get up and going, and have now paired two devices... but they react very slowly if at all 🤔

#

the switch is physically on, but MQTT explorer shows its state as OFF

#

it has 0 lqi 🤔

austere patio
#

Is your antenna on all the way?

#

And are you using the one that came with it?

gloomy pivot
#

yeah to both afaik

#

i screwed the antenna that came in the box, onto the stick, "finger tight"

#

as tight as i can without risk lol

simple sentinel
#

What's the other device?
Keep in mind that your aqara switch probably isn't working as a repeater, on account of it not having neutral

gloomy pivot
#

its like the devices aren't communicating back to z2m

#

none of the three entities seem to be updating at all, in HA or MQTT explorer

simple sentinel
#

No sure-fire solutions from me. Sounds like powering down, detaching and reattaching the antenna is a good Hail Mary-pass, if nothing else comes to mind

gloomy pivot
#

does lqi go from 0-100?

simple sentinel
#

no, I have devices with 160ish

I believe sub-20 is considered non-functional

thank you all so much for your help! i've now gotten all my devices back into the system, and working as they were 👍

also getting some ota updates so that should be the rest of my day lmao

#

if an ota appears stalled, is it safe to publish and start it again?

15min ago my ota said 6.55% with +-31min remaining... but hasn't changed since

#

the device still shows 'updating' as well

this is a sengled bulb, mains powered

hey all, i just installed a aqara wall switch (us w/ neutral) but im struggling to connect it to my conbee ii via deconz

#

any tips on this? cant really move the conbee close to it and obviously cant move the wall switch. is it worth setting up a signal repeater nearby to ensure it gets signal?

gloomy pivot
#

fwiw I just switched from zha to z2m today, and was very pleased with how well setup went once I had z2m running properly

#

conbee ii is listed there 🤷🏼‍♀️

#

I haven't used deconz OR a conbee, so I can't speak to those specifically

gloomy pivot
#

I did accidentally bind my auroras to the wrong rooms though lmao

#

actually bound the one in my bedroom to both mine and my daughter's bedroom lights 😅 imagine her surprise when I turn my light on before bed and she's been asleep for hours lmao

gloomy pivot
#

in fact... just to be clear that I'm doing it right

#

when I publish to the "bind" endpoint, I went "from" the knob "to" the bulb

#

is it the same "direction" when I'm unbinding?

dusky hill
#

so the reason i couldnt connect it was it got configured automatically as a light which seems to be common in deconz. now the problem is the light wont send its status if its manually activated

#

it will accept remote on/off commands tho

#

@gloomy pivot what device do you use for z2m? im getting tempted to go that direction as it just makes more sense

gloomy pivot
#

I just got a ZZH today

dusky hill
#

anyone have experience moving from deconz to z2m via conbee? im tempted to pick up a TI one since ZZH seems out of stock plus im in the US

interested to see how it works

are there any guides on how to set up everything? I have the mqtt broker on my home assistant already but am a noob on mqtt

jolly narwhal
#

Then spin up the zigbee2mqtt container, pass the device through and have fun

I started out yaml only, no idea if the new experimental webgui supports configuration of mqtt, or only of devices

But the zigbee2mqtt docs are quite good

#

I run zigbee2mqtt decoupled, on a raspberry pi 🤢 🤢 🤢 🤢

#

Everything else runs in my garage

dusky hill
#

im running it on unraid, looks like the docker got included there. trying to figure out the server vs broker part of mqtt

And Zigbee2mqtt to the same broker

#

And enable auto discovery in mqtt in ha

And on Zigbee2mqtt

Can someone help me understand zha groups and clusters? I have about ~50 zigbee devices, using nortek husbz1 - am I adding things wrong by just doing regular zha permit? should I be adding them via other devices (routers) instead? I'm a bit confused as to how to properly plan this deployment, and since this is the 4th time I am resetting EVERYTHING (50-60 zigbee and ~30 z-wave devices) I'd really like to get it right...

jolly narwhal
#

No idea how zha works, but for zigbee2mqtt I just allow join, I have, 85+ devices

wanton bobcat
#

can you help me understand that better?

#

zb2mqtt, specifically? how does that process look like for configuring an automation, etc. my mqtt knowledge is minor - i did have a few raspberry pi's that were sending system stats through to mqtt into HA but that is as deep as my mqtt knowledge goes

jolly narwhal
#

They appear as devices in HA, and have good documentation, no idea about that stick though, I've only used TI devices

#

Appears to not be supported

#

I have a conbee II as well

#

Experimental and no ZigBee 3.0 in that one

but nothing else is in stock? lol

Eh, I'll always recommend the cc1352p2 as stated above, unorthodox size but great

Since HA doesnt support two ZHA integrations.. i can use both deconz and ZHA at the same time? I wanna split my garage and hobby rooms from the house. The range with my current setup is a bit so-so.

have all my devices in zigbee2mqtt 1 device is acting up , can i add that device on an other platform like ZHA ?

noble lion

Hi all, I'm having a zigbee challenge: running latest HASS.io and zigbee2mqtt. all operating fine but I can't re-add some devices. eg a Lidle bulb. When I pop it into pairing mode, I see "device left" messages in UI but the device doesn't get added.

jolly narwhal
#

@tranquil forum that makes no sense, adding all devices to a single mesh will increase range, just add devices between areas to cover gaps

#

And you could run as many instances of zigbee2mqtt as you wanted, although that also makes no sense

#

@noble lion are you sure joining is enabled?

#

@lime locust sure, but that makes no sense in regards to meshing and resilience

noble lion
#

Yes definitely joining is enabled. I think I found it there was an entry in share/zigbee2mqtt/devices.yaml for the device though it wasn't in devices. Removed it and about to restart everything

jolly narwhal
#

That sounds like add-ons, no idea about that, but I def haven't had that issue here

Hi! Trying to integrate the Lidl (Silvercrest) doorbell into my HA + ConBee II USB dongle. My Lidl powerplugs work just fine, but the doorbell does not generate any events when clicked. Before posting more details... does anyone else own that device, and does it work for you..? (or is it simply not supported in HA?) The device is listed here https://zigbee.blakadder.com/all.html without the HA logo....

With line of sight, probably easily gappable with a dedicated router

And external antenna

Yes, but why bother when adding a new hub is much quicker 😛

jolly narwhal
#

New coordinator

#

And Zigbee2mqtt

#

No problems having five of those if you want

#

Although, defeats the purpose somehow, but at that range you should be fine in regard to interference

tranquil forum
#

havent tried Zigbee2mqtt but maybe i should. Seems stable and have more devices supported. But i can still run deconz and zha at the same time? Running deconz stand alone that is.

jolly narwhal
#

No idea, I havent run and will never run either, I like to run decoupled

sour shadow
#

You're able to run ZHA and deCONZ together, or as many Zigbee2MQTT instances as you want

I might look into Zigbee2mqtt 🙂 It looks neat.

Is there already anything known that could be done to mitigate this? Does TI know of this issue? Are only certain versions affected perhaps?

jolly narwhal
#

I've had it on z2m 15.x versions

#

With a lot of simultaneous connections

mellow geode
#

Is there a bug report I can follow maybe (GitHub or TI bug tracker)?

sour shadow
#

There's a few - each generation has different problems

#

I've had one lockup with my ZZH on 1.17.0, and put monitoring in place to detect that happening again

#

I get regular lockups with the CC2531...

mellow geode
#

Since I’m a ZHA user: does the Z-Stack version (also) make a difference?

sour shadow
#

The problem is Z-Stack, not Z2M

mellow geode
#

Yeah, isn’t 1.17.0 referring to a Z2M version though? (Might be wrong though)

molten linden
#

The newest fw for the zzh may have a fix

mellow geode
#

Saw it on the develop branch, I’ll try that out later

molten linden
mellow geode
#

Nice, thanks for the link!

#

Normally it only happens after a few weeks but in the last couple of days I updated like 10 Hue devices and perhaps the traffic was causing the memory leak (thus also causing Z-Stack to crash)?

#

Shouldn't get my hopes up too high though

gloomy pivot
#

@molten linden using z2m, I accidentally paired one of my auroras to two bulbs (unintended), but having trouble getting it unbound from the unintended bulb... do you use z2m?

I thought I had it, as the response was "ok", both clusters showed success, and with no clusters in the "failed" list... even tested and it seemed working correctly for a minute, but then went back to the unintended behavior a few minutes later 🤔

gloomy pivot
molten linden
#

I use zha, doe binding get wiped out if you reset both the bulb and the Aurora?

#

I guess that is what I would try 🤷🏼‍♂️

simple sentinel
#

If it's a battery powered remote, you'd need to keep it awake when you do the unbind action.
Just a thought

#

If you got it paired initially then I guess your already up to speed on that

gloomy pivot
#

I'll have to try resetting them later this afternoon, it was already bedtime when I realized they were goofed up... and they really hate when I play with the lights while we're in bed lmao

do both the bulb AND remote need to be reset then?

mighty river
#

Does anyone know if it is possible to replace one Conbee II with another Conbee II without re-pairing all devices (ZHA)?

molten linden
#

@gloomy pivot I think so to clear out the binding tables in both

ok I'll do that

does anyone know a good "mqtt explorer" app for android?

Got bored today and finally tried zigbee2mqtt out, tried deconz and zha, but quite impressed on tis, I know its been mentioned by many here on its benefits, but I was not ready for it until now

I see many options in the zigbee2mqtt like groups and such, do others here use tings like tis?

lime locust

side remains 2 , sadly

#

but action_side does alter

side attribute got added as attribute in cube sensor

You have everything you need without creating sensors:
{"action":"flip90","action_from_side":4,"action_side":2,"action_to_side":2,"angle":59.57,"battery":86,"linkquality":60,"side":2,"voltage":2975}

Just use an MQTT trigger in your automations.

What port is needed for z2m, 1883? I think my problem is docker being too isolating

Docker is just as isolating as you make it

The zigbee2mqtt container needs no ports open

I know but I need to figure what I need to open

jolly narwhal
#

Except if you use the webgui

dusky hill

I’m trying to have it connect to my mqtt broker

jolly narwhal

Your broker needs 1883 open for regular mqtt traffic

dusky hill
#

Hmm okay you’re right

jolly narwhal
#

1883->1883 with a default config

sour shadow
#

Of course, if you're doing internal firewalling on your network, you probably should know this 😛

#

If you're not, and all systems are internal, you don't need to forward ports

jolly narwhal
#

Or routing

#

If different subnets

hollow token
#

can someone explain to me why, although the distance is much shorter, the terminal uses a different router (plug)?

From the router on floor 1 to floor 2 everything is nice and green. But even if I put the Aqara temperature sensor next to it, it keeps connecting to the floor.

Is there an option to bind the device to the router? Or do I have to pair it directly with the router?

#

Router = plug

austere patio
#

Aqara picks the first device that responds to it so if you want to be 100% sure, use selective joining

sour shadow
#

Magic 😛

austere patio
#

Though I think this may be broken in Z2M right now

sour shadow
#

With Zigbee 3.0 coordinator and routers, they'll pick a new route as they need to

I've never used selective joining actually, shit just works wtf

Doesn't mean it works as well as it could though

@pine goblet remove the battery, use a flat screwdriver very gently, it's a 3 second job

amber gull
austere patio
#

The plastic body has only that thin section so just gently pull it up 1mm until the inner portion pops out and then lever it out

pine goblet

So I got the battery out that part was easy

I'm doing it without any tools or much force at all

The bottom spins and pops off

#

Yes

And then you have the battery seat

You’re saying to pry that?

austere patio
#

No

#

Do you see the window for the sensor, looking at it from the front?

pine goblet
#

Yes

austere patio
#

The bright white plastic

#

Without the bottom cover on there's just a 2mm tall strip of it

#

At the bottom of the window

#

If you hold the top of the sensor and use your fingernail or something soft to push the bottom of the white lip up, towards the top of the window (where the light sensor is), it should click out of the way about 1mm

pine goblet
#

Okay I’ll try that

Not too worried about breaking this one as it’s been giving me a lot of problems but I’d still like to try and exchange it.

If you move over to any open zigbee platform you can in theory run any ZigBee device you want

I can only speak for zigbee2mqtt, but it is quite easy to add support for new devices if it isn't currently supported

#

i thought any zigbee device should speak to another zigbee hub, no?

jolly narwhal
#

Hue or tradfri? Limited in my experience

spring nacelle

then HA can easily speak to philips hue so as long as the tactile switch can be recognized by the hue base, it should be fisible

There are three Zigbee options with Home Assistant (regardless of how you install it). These are:

deCONZ is relatively stable and mature with its own UI (and Discord server). It can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, or natively. Only the ConBee range of sticks and RaspBee GPIO boards are support. Known working devices are documented, and how to request support for a new device is documented too (you can't add unsupported devices yourself).

zha is actively developed as part of Home Assistant Core, using the zigpy stack, the UI also being part of Home Assistant. The EmberZNet based sticks are recommended, but there are other options. There is no list of supported devices, as any standards compliant device should work. Devices that require extra support are listed, and adding unsupported devices is documented (you can't add unsupported devices yourself).

Zigbee2MQTT is very actively developed and can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, and natively. As of 1.15 has a native UI, and it also uses MQTT for control and configuration. It supports mostly TI based sticks, with the Zig-Ah-Zig-Ah! and Slaesh's sticks being recommended. The known working devices are well documented (which usually includes how to pair them so you don't have to find the manual), and adding unsupported devices is also documented.

Command '.zigbee' was invoked by: atxbyea

I will recommend the latter

spring nacelle

Serial devices work fine yes

#

But the beauty of zigbee2mqtt is running it decoupled

ok then let me rephrase my wishes

#

i want to add a tactile switch that can control some lights via home assitant. is zigbee the way to go?

jolly narwhal
#

There are quite a few yes

as far as I understand, it should be the easiest way

yep, blindly copied a hashed password thinking i got fancy with it

#

bingo, thx mono

#

now that its connecting, whats the preferred approach to add devices? i need to move them from deconz to z2m.

sour shadow
#

You have to un-pair them from deCONZ (or just reset them) and then pair them to Z2M

#

(well, you're un-pairing them from the old stick, and pairing them to the new one)

dusky hill
#

got it, reset isnt hard

#

will z2m just magically get them to join?

#

i was used to deconz having to turnoon listening. i have the config set for "permit_join: true"

dry fossil
#

Permit join is okay while you're getting set up but you should set it to false most of the time.

#

You can always temporarily set it to true (via an MQTT message) when you need to pair things in the future.

dusky hill
#

makes sense

sour shadow
#

Z2M has a nice UI that's worth enabling 😉

#

No need to permanently enable joining

dusky hill
#

ooo how can i add that?

sour shadow
#

Well worth a browse of the Z2M docs, they're pretty short (at least compared to HA)

dusky hill
#

it is shorter yet hard for me to grasp still at this point 😛

sour shadow
#

Don't worry, soon you'll try to read all the HA docs, and then fall asleep for 100 years

dusky hill

Yes thats what I have don. After the install, I gave in the requestet field this string '/dev/serial/by-id/usb-dresden_elektronik_ingenieurtechnik_GmbH_ConBee_II_DE2250745-if00' (looked up under Supervisor/system/host/hardware)

#

Does it matter, that I have used previus the add on "deCONZ". But it is not stable, so I deinstalled it and use now Zigbee integration?

sour shadow
#

That shouldn't matter

strong anchor
#

Mhm. Its strange. I have multiple times restarte since I use the integration. But this time I restarte (with Host) it wont work

sour shadow
#

Check that deCONZ isn't running

strong anchor
#

How can I check it? I have deinstalled it

sour shadow
#

No idea, don't use any of this Supervised stuff. I'm guessing there's a menu for add-ons

strong anchor
#

Yes, in this menu, I can deinstall it. Thats what I do. Now its gone 🤷‍♂️

#

So I have found the Error. Only thing I can say is WTF Home Assistant?
The deinstalled Add-On deCONZ was reinstalled? Sure thing they cant run together. But why? I have deinstalled it and it was away after a reboot and never come back till today?

I too don't run supervised because I enjoy knowing what my systems do Shrug but if it keeps reinstalling #330990055533576204 can probably help you, or #add-ons-archived it would explain why if you have two things trying to talk to the stick at once

strong anchor
#

Yeah, I never do this s**t with supervisor again...

migration to #449717345808547842 is easy if you are willing to invest a few hours to figure out how stuff works

Is it possible to only update one specific device via ZHA?

#

I have the issue that all images are with image_id=0 and manufacturer_id=0. They also "ask" for an OTA upgrade every 3 minutes.

#

(I guess I could modify zippy code temporarily?

Hi all, is this the right place to ask about Sonoff Zigbee Bridge?
I have one and I'm considering flashing it with Zigbee2Tasmota.
I'd like it to replace my IKEA Tradfri and Xiaomi hubs.

livid abyss
#

I'm in the process of replacing an IKEA hub with the Sonoff. It had some problems where it drains the batteries of Ikea remotes very quickly, hopefully that's solved now. You want this for ZHA or Tasmota?

chrome igloo
#

I'm considering either ZHA or Tasmota at the moment. been doing a lot of reading and not sure what the best is for use with HA.

ivory hound
#

just my 2 cents, I'd suggest ZHA or zigbee2mqtt

livid abyss
#

I use ZHA, zigbee->tasmota->HA sounds like a lot of setup work from the manual.

chrome igloo
#

Maybe I misunderstood, I thought you flash Tasmota to the Sonoff Zigbee bridge then flash the Zigbee firmware to it for use as a controller?

livid abyss
#

I'm not an expert, but as I understand if you use ZHA Tasmota does not do much except forward messages from ZHA to the zigbee chip in the Sonoff. All the management happens in ZHA.

chrome igloo
#

It seems pretty straightforward to setup ZHA on this.

livid abyss
#

You can also use Tasmota to actually deal with the zigbee devices, and use mqtt to interact with HA.

chrome igloo
#

I'm quite familiar with Tasmota, I've flashed a few sonoffs and a few shelley controllers, and a Sonoff RF controller... but this Sonoff Zigbee controller seems a bit more complicated.

#

So what would be the advantage of using the Tasmota method?

livid abyss
#

No idea, I guess if you don't use HA?

chrome igloo
#

Over the ZHA method I mean.

#

Ok, well I only use HA and not intending to change that anytime soon.

#

I was wondering, is there any idea on the maximum number of devices are supported on the Sonoff Zigbee Bridge using ZHA?

#

I've got probably ~25 zigbee devices, and I'd like to move them all onto this.

livid abyss
#

No idea, I only have 15 or so.

#

If you have problems flashing tasmota tie the Z_RST pin to ground, too, that's missing in the manual you linked. May work without, too.

#

there is any limitation on zigbee gu10 rgb bulbs?

amber gull
#

?

#

Such as?

#

Anyone else having Ikea Repeaters drop off Sonoff Zigbee bridge, when the bridge is restarted?

amber gull
#

Hi Batman, it's me

#

If you restart (pull them out and replug them) the repeaters, do they come back online?

foggy dragon
#

Yes, Walt, if I restart the Ikea Repeaters, they do come back online

#

However, they do not route prior to be unplugged and replugged in

amber gull
#

You could be hitting the infamous IKEA bug

#

It's a bug that crashes IKEA devices when processing ZDO parent announce frames

#

No current work around, we are waiting for IKEA to update the firmware on their devices

#

It'd be a bit rare to have it trigger each time you restart, unless that's really flooding your network with parent announce frames -- how big is your network and what device types do you have?

#

oh, hey. Walt is on my reddit

foggy dragon
#

66 devices, 115 entities- 8 Jasco Swithces, Sengled bulbs, 6x Osram Lightify strips, Centralite Sensors on windows, few LEDVANCE plugs and Iris Plugs around, too

#

oh, and the 5 Ikea repeaters spread around the house

amber gull
#

Oh yeah, that might do it

#

You lose every IKEA repeater on every restart?

verbal shale
#

@amber gull requests per minute limits, like yeelight have on wifi

#

i'm asking that, because i will change all my wifi bulbs in my ceiling (13 bulbs) to zigbee ones

sour shadow
#

Zigbee has a defined rate of 250 kbit/s, best suited for intermittent data transmissions from a sensor or input device

#

trying to add a wireless switch in zigbee2mqtt(container) but it does not recognise any button presses ? although i think it is paired correctly ? https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/jfzDMnpdnR/
tried resetting and pairing device like 10x
close range(1cm) and medium range (2m) from cc2531 stick makes no difference

#

and the thing does get added in HA , just not registering anything

sour shadow
#

If you push the button, what happens

lime locust
#

it clicks

#

but nothing in logs
