zzh! CC2652R Multiprotocol RF Stick is in stock
i just ordered one
so who want's it now is the moment
violet dagger
as soon as you write it its gone 😛
ivory hound
well i finished my order, i said to let you know guys maybe you manage to get one
abstract cloud
yeah i just bought from electrolama
does anyone know if its possible to add multiple ikea blinds to the CC2652R, and a control button in a group. Currently im having to use the ikea gateway just for the blinds
abstract cloud
yeah i would like to do it at zigbee level incase ha goes down
ivory hound
yah tbh i dont see why you could not group them in HA
i cant even imagine the day when ha will go down :)) that's a dark day
abstract cloud
the ikea blinds came with a repeater so if the gateway is down the up/down control button will always operate all 3 blinds together
jolly narwhal
I've had... probably 40 minutes of downtime of HA the last 2.5 years, and it was all my fault

i have not used any zigbee yet in HA only z-wave so will have to get stuck in, hopefully the groups operate a similar way

If you're runnning deCONZ you can only use Conbee. If you're running anything else, you shouldn't use Conbee 😛

And yet... it's labelled experimental for a reason 😉

i know i know

if I buy CC2652R it will cost 36€ and problably some dutie taxes :S
connbee 2 is 32€

If i got dutie taxes, its 12€ + 23% over total value (shippment and item)
abstract cloud
CC2652R seems to have the open source devs backing
jolly narwhal
I will say TI boards and z2m any day
junior meteor
I'd honestly still go for the CC2652R, you've got the open source community behind that, so no waiting and hoping for dresden firmware updates, and you probably won't replace the stick anytime soon
ivory hound
conbee 2 is the worst solution on z2mqtt
i have it it has some wierd delay
go with other ti one
short elm
is z2mqqt not an addon? cant seem to find it in the supervisor
or if i buy a zigbee usb stick, what is be best way to get it running?
jolly narwhal
It is, but you don't have to run it as an addon
short elm
how do i get it starting then? cant find any guids on the website, only for z-wave but not for getting started with zigbee

greetings! I am having a problem with the network visualization in HA 2021.1.5. I renamed a couple of bulbs since I moved them, and the names are not changing to reflect the changes in the visualization. I did try restarting HA, but the names didn't change in the visualization map. Any ideas where i can force the visualization to refresh?
sour shadow
I'm guessing you're using zha?
lunar helm
that is correct
ok. I did a rename of the devices in addition to the entities... and the visualization map is showing correctly. apologies for the noise!

Guys i have a question regarding zigbee2mqtt+mosquitto+homeAssistant: I had it all running fine, controlling some lights and wall switches. But suddenly after connecting a new gledopto light strip, homeassistant was not getting any updates for the already discovered devices. I tried to mess around a bit with various settings and ended up deleting the MQTT integration in HomeAssistant. Then a re-added MQTT integration pointing to the MQTT Server (mosquitto HA Addon), which I saw in the log of the mosquitto server (new client connected etc...) But still after restarting home assistant and waiting there were no more mqtt devices found. I then restarted the zigbee2mqtt addon and again checked the logs. Both the logs of zigbee2mqtt and the mosquitto server show that the connection was successful. In the zigbee2mqtt log i also can see when states change of door sensors / temperature and stuff and i can even control them via the integrated frontend. I think somehow the zigbee2mqtt cannot send, or mosquitto server cannot receive the states of the connected devices. Is there anyway to check this? I downloaded a mqtt explorer application and connected it to the mosquitto server. But i did not see any messages.

The map takes sometime to be updated. Normally when i change something I would wait some 24 hours to be certain that the map is showing what it is

Not sure if this is the right spot or not... I've got a ConBee II, ZHA and a few Sengled Z01-A19NAE26 dimmable bulbs. Everthing was good for about a week or so, now one of my bulbs seems to be stuck on.
No matter what I do within HA, one bulb in a 3-bulb fixture stays on at the same brightness & color temp. The only way to turn it off is to flip the old-school dumb toggle switch that it's still wired to.
I haven't a clue where to begin to try trouble shooting the problem. All hints welcome
tropic depot
are you using a group?
fading briar
The instructions with the bulb say to toggle power "at least" 10 times with a wall switch and that should reset it. 5 flashes of the bulb indicates that it's reset. I haven't managed to get it to reset yet.
Yes, I am. It's in a group of 3 bulbs in the fixture
tropic depot
ZHA group right?
fading briar
looking at 
it says the bulb state is unavailable
fading briar
Yes, it would have to be a ZHA group - I've never even installed the Sengled app.
tropic depot
the sengled on / off
10x works... it's a timing thing
you have to do it fairly quickly
fading briar
I was doing it about as fast as I could flip the switch. Then I thought that might be too fast, so I tried a bit slower, then much slower like 1 sec on, 1 sec off.
tropic depot
but the light actually has to go on and off... if any of them are too fast and the power cut doesn't register it wont work
tropic depot
yes
fading briar
Trying to rescan from ZHA for new devices won't do the trick, eh?
Would it be worth commenting the group out of config.yaml to see if it can be addressed on its own?
should the power toggle end with power on or off? I've tried both to no success
mighty river
What is the diffrence between Zigbee and MQTT?
There's Zigbee2MQTT and idk what is it
fading briar
Whew! I put the bulb in my office fixture which is next to the computer to make it easier to chat, search, etc.
thorny phoenix
@mighty river call google
fading briar
Only problem is the office has a dumb dimmer switch with on/off toggle. I think it wasn't quite turning off. I put the bulb back in the kitchen with a simple, dumb 3-way switch & the 10x off/on worked a treat.
I got the 5 flashes, went into ZHA and was able to readd the bulb.
Thanks, @tropic depot

Anyone using hue outdoor motion sensors for motion, lux and temperature? Do they also do humidity? Any good?

(I'm using them with a ZZH stick and ZHA) They don't do humidity. Lux is ok, motion has a nice 10 seconds timeout (can be changed, sensitivity can also be changed) and temperature sometimes seems to be about 1°C off but I'm not sure

I'd likely suggest their Discord as a better place to work out why that's sulky, but before you do... have you tried resetting the stick?
Push the button on it, while it's connected, and that should reset it if it's locked up/stuck
pine vine
Thanks, ill drop them a message. I moved from CC2531 and ZZH has been nothing but problems
Ill also try the reset
sour shadow
I've done that move, and it's been plain sailing, so there's hope yet 😉
The pre 2021 firmware does have known issues though
If you didn't already update it, do that now
pine vine
Reset has unlocked the starting issue (Which actually wasnt my original issue before i posted)
Now that it's back working none of my devices will function
The more common issue im seeing is MAC transaction expired' (240)
sour shadow
They probably need you to operate/wake them so they report in
If things have been disconnected for long enough they're not trying now
pine vine
Its the latest firmware. Only received the stick 2 days ago
I get no response from my ikea dimmer

Are we talking about zigbee2mqtt firmware? If so i downloaded latest and flashed it
ZZH doesnt come preloaded

greetings! after i renamed the device and entity for a couple of bulbs, I am getting a message as follows:

which would be correct since i renamed buddies_light to laundry_room. Anyone know how I can find where this is referenced? I have done a restart of HASS since I did the rename. this is zha on HA 2021.1.5.

ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.emulated_hue.hue_api] Entity not found: light.buddies_light
emulated hue maintains a json file of things, that might still have the entries somewhere

following up the change above with a HASS restart?

I have a few ikea on/off buttons that keep dropping of my zha network. They are directly paired to the coordinator. What could be the cause of this?
bleak cave
@analog ember I had similar issues with pairing of the IKEA on/off switch and it also dropping off my network periodically. Puddly had me try the following in my configuraion.yaml, which also requires downloading his custom component (follow the URL):
#For IKEA Tradfri compatibility from puddly (see https://github.com/walthowd/ha-constant-modifier)
constant_modifier:
zigpy_znp.zigbee.application:
DEVICE_JOIN_MAX_DELAY: 6
This stabilized the situation for me
In my case, after adding this entry to my config, I had to completely remove and re-add my IKEA on/off switch one more time, and since then, everything is flawless
This example also assumes you are using zigpy_znp. If you are using a different library (depending on what type of coordinator you have), you may have to adjust it to your needs.

Sound great! I'll take a look at it. Not sure what library I'm using, default one for the sonoff zbbridge + tasmota
molten linden
that's gonna be bellows. I'm not sure of a similar option there. but there are a lot of options
analog ember
Hmm, does someone know what I need to modify then?
And if that could be a possible solution
mellow geode
Tiergrotten's solution isn't gonna work for you. I know that on another EZSP based coordinator (chip similar to the one in Sonoffs bridge basically), the default firmware had issues keeping end devices on the coordinator due to some timeout.
Perhaps there's a difference depending on which version of EmberZNet your bridge is on. Just guessing though
analog ember
Aha, could updating EmberZNet help?
bleak cave
@analog ember Just want to add that in my case, one of the core problems was that the IKEA devices never really properly joined the network due to the default 2 second max join delay in ZNP being too short for those devices. So the devices would either not pair at all or not all clusters would be discovered/work (i.e. battery percentage would be missing etc.), and they would often disappear completely from my network overnight. So puddly had me override/increase the timeout, and then the IKEA devices had enough time for the proper sequence of 1) receiving network key 2) announcing themselves 3) being joined to network. This was all very specific to zigpny_znp and TI chipsets. But it is conceivable that your EZSP based coordinator also doesn't wait long enough. But that is where my limited knowledge stops.
analog ember
Ahh that makes sense. Is there a way to find out where the issue is? Seems like my devices join the network fine, work for 1-2 days and then just go to offline.
It also seems it might be the remotes only directly connected to the coordinator
I've another one that's paired to a router that never drops op the network
austere patio
<@!225653358055129088> Just want to add that in my case, one of the core problem...
I haven't used it in a while, but I think EZSP firmware only notifies you of a device announcement, not the initial join. This specific "fix" wouldn't really be applicable, since bellows doesn't do anything special to handle devices that join but wait too long to announce themselves.

Today, one of my Philips Hue Calla (ZLL: the older ones with no Bluetooth and no attribute reporting) was unavailable for many hours.
I tried reading attributes and it always failed. However, I was still able to toggle on and off the Zigbee group it was in (and it would also change color + toggle).
When restarting Home Assistant, it instantly came back though.
So, is there anything special ZHA/Home Assistant does on startup so the light starts responding to unicasts again?
austere patio
Which radio was this?
mellow geode

Here, it also happened. Most of the time they come back after a short while.

Apparently my Tuya (Zigbee 3.0) dimmable controller has a color cluster.

the lights will turn off, but stay lighted according to HA, and when turned off again, they don't reflect the change... I hit the switch fast enough, I can turn them on immediately after i turn them off. I have 6 hue bulbs connected and the visualizer shows them meshing with others.

Hello, Today I would like to change from Xiaomi HUB to CC2351 Zigbee stick.
First of all I would like to try out ZHA Integration, but after adding it into Integrations and selecting the USB what is actually see its a CC2351 Stick, but it does not stop loading.
It stucks since 10 minutes: https://imgur.com/l8p1hlZ

I have tried reconfiguring the devices, to no avail
side question: the lines connecting zigbee devices in the visualizer and different colors, I am assuming that is the 'strength' of the signals between those devices. Is there a place that defines what the values are for those connections?
is this maybe a sign the HZBUSB is starting to fail ?

after it turns red for half a minute blinking rapidly
after all LED is gone.
I was trying to put devices into pairing mode while the whole LED blinking stuff and also after.
Nothing showed up in the discovery.

OK, then I put it to the trash.
looks like not worth to trying.
Anyhow, there is anybody who can help me with at least start Zigbee2Mqtt addon?
I have this issue.
since I added an USB extender between Raspberry Pi and the Dongle it became only green.
Finally!!! Zigbee2Mqtt is up.
now just need to use it somehow 😄
finally was able to add a device! the problem was I put the stick into Raspberry.
it only works with USB extender cable.

That is interesting, your CC2531 also appears to have gotten "stuck" during startup or during network formation. Looks like the same issue @wispy plank was experiencing with his CC2531.

You have to put USB extender and everything works

That seems to be a common combination

Is this specifically a Pi thing or all devices? I only ask because I just ordered a new system to use that isn’t a Pi
Should probably just use one to be safe haha

How long of an extender is needed?

The other thing to think about is that 2.4 GHz is used by your microwave because it's absorbed well by water. Humans are large bags of water...

I replugged the radio (ZHA reconnected fine) but now I'm getting: [zigpy_znp.zigbee.application] Request failed (Unsuccessful request status code: <Status.MAC_NO_ACK: 233>), retry attempt 3 of 5 (Edit: looks like both errors occur)
It's weird because that light never had any issues and was still working about 30 minutes before
amber gull
You want weird..

Yes
austere patio
Does that happen when a AF.DataRequestSrcRtg.Req request is sent during retrying that forces the request to take the last seen path? You'll see a list of NWKs as SourceRoute.
That's basically a last resort that for me seems to work (it's better than the request outright failing due to the coordinator not being able to discover a route) but it looks like an ACK is not able to be relayed back to the coordinator
And since the request was likely sent with expect_reply=True, it'll fail when the ACK isn't received
mellow geode
https://paste.ubuntu.com/p/B7HHJD2HNX/ Ok, now I'm not even sure if the errors here are related to the Hue light. It looks hard to distinguish

I have two LWA007s left now -- they routinely fail ZCL attribute reads

mellow geode
Guess I'll just power cycle the light for now
OK, this sounds stupid
But the power switch that's still connected to the light is apparently faulty
I guess it has a loose contact or something because it was still switched on
But when I pressed a bit harder, the light turned back on again (to the power restore state)
So it was a false alarm, sorry lol
austere patio
Is the intermittent or bad contact making the light glitch out?
Or was it just off?
mellow geode
The switch might have still been connected sometimes but I think it was mostly off
So I guess the light "responding" to the on/off (which I only tried a couple of times) was just the switch(?)

I have tried to avoid Hue as I had nothing but problems with the first generation hue bulbs
mellow geode
Yeah. Every bulb with the ZLL profile hasn't been that great for me. All new ones with Bluetooth (ZHA profile + attribute reports) are my most reliable bulbs (at least I never noticed any issues with them)
Since your bulbs still report "Philips" as the manufacturers, they still have a higher polling interval: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/059e9e830727c245ce7f3ac64d065ec3f6501b85/homeassistant/components/zha/light.py#L512
3 to 5 minutes instead of 45 to 75 minutes.
Is it possible that they only fail attribute reads because they are read much more often or something like that?
(The increased polling was added because the ZLL Hue bulbs don't report attributes. Since newer firmware on the BT bulbs changed some of the manufacturer names to Signify, they are now polled in a "normal" interval.)
amber gull
I don't know
I'm reading the model attribute as a sort of self made pro-active "ping" attempt
mellow geode
Ah, okay then
amber gull
the Hue bulbs will fail for hours at a time, come back to life for a few hours, fail again
amber gull
I just eventually excluded them --- try to track down the silabs stack bug where everthing crashes
run it against all my IKEA stuff now, along with a daily leave and rejoin -- network has been really stable last few weeks, knock on wood\
(didn't know until now the Hue stuff is probably running the same Emberznet stack underneath)
mellow geode
I think they are running a newer version though.
(Perhaps try Adminiuga's test to see if they crash?)

Nothing interesting, unfortunately. I haven't found a way to extract anything like this out of the newer GBL images.
It's encrypted as well
But the newer Hue OTA files seem to have a ton of short, undocumented subelements (68 for that image, most others I've seen have just one for the FW) with ~500-900 bytes of more random data. No clue what it's for.

Perhaps it’s somehow related to the Bluetooth part?

I just paired a CC2531 as a router, but can not for the life of me pair another one. I currently have a zzh! as a coordinator and 2 x CC2531 routers. This CC2531 that is not pairing was my coordinator before zzh! Is there a limit on how many CC2531 routers Z2M can have?
I keep flashing the CC2531 with the router firmware, and it looks like it passes, but it just wont pair to Z2M
I have in the past had to try over an over again to get certain devices to pair. Literally 20 times for one of my hue bulbs

on z2mqtt i am testing it and I've observed that there are devices that don't pair correctly, like aqara vibration sensor or xiaomi SP-EUC01
whatever i do it always pairs different
take the vibration one for example: sometimes it pairs and it always detect vibration
or plug sont show voltage, energy consumption etc
are those common things?
on zha they solve the plugs by being lazy only power is reported and done ....

I'm struggling with a few lights, particularly one, that does not respons to automations. Neither from HA or NodeRED. The service is fired when configured to, it shows in the log, but nothing happens with the light.
I can fire the automation manually and it responds, and I have no issues controlling the light. But it does not respond to automations.
I'm unsure how to troubleshoot it, other lights and automations work fine
Any idea what kind of ZHA-log I should look into?
I'm using Hue/IKEA with a Conbee II
I just made an automation turning off a zigbee and a z-wave light - the latter went off fine, the first one not.

It honestly seems like my Zigbee network needs to "wake up" before anything can happen.
Buttons on my lovelace reacts 1/10 times the first time I push them (on light groups), but almost always the second and third.
And of course sometimes only 2 out of 3 bulbs in the group reacts. So i'm thinkin, as you said, it really struggles with 1) the first command in a while and 2) multiple commands at the same time.
I've set it up with a double node now. So light.turn_on/off --> Delay 15 seconds --> light.turn_on/off and we'll see throughout the next sunset/sunrises
radiant moth
Have to say I don't have that sort of issue. I have a sunset automation that addresses 11 light circuits. I have to separate the WiFi and zigbee publishing by half a second. (7 zigbee lights on a single node and then 4 Wifi separately)

Hello all, my first time on discord 🙂 I'm writing a detailed article on my blog (italian language) about ZHA. Does anyone has a correct explanation of the numbers on the link lines between zigbee devices please? I could not found what does they mean...
radiant moth
LQI, or Link Quality Index is a value used to compute Link Cost for Zigbee and other stacks. Link Cost can be used for creating network routes, selecting network parents, determining neighbors and managing routing tables. In both the Zigbee and IEEE 802.15.4 standards, LQI is required, but unlike RSSI (Receive Signal Strength Indication -- a standardized value), it is left to the manufacturer to determine how to implement LQI. On-chip radios differ significantly, so the mechanisms to evaluate LQI must be specific to the radio.
The ZigBee routing algorithm uses a path cost metric for route comparison during route discovery and maintenance. In order to compute this metric, a cost, known as the link cost, is associated with each link in the path and link cost values are summed to produce the cost for the path as a whole.
sour shadow
A link of zero (the worst) is generally bad, or could indicate unknown. A link of 255 could indicate a perfect signal, or that it isn't reporting correctly.
Generally anything between 1 and 254 is something more likely to be "useful", for some value of useful. That said, my Lidl socket had an LQI up in the 130+ range, and spent half the time not responding. My Salus socket in the same place has an LQI down in the 40 to 60 range, and is always connected.
So, as the quote from Rich suggested, the LQI should be taken with a wheelbarrow of salt

fossil grail

Thank you, but I know the theory about LQI. But why some links have one number while other have two numbers? Are they LQI about communications between the two nodes or to the path to coordinator or what?
mellow geode
I think the two LQI readings are what each node reports. They should be similar
For example, I have one LEDVANCE controller that literally only reports 254/255 as an LQI (bug)
The line between the LEDVANCE router and another router has "150/254" on it then.
I also tried https://github.com/walthowd/ha-constant-modifier today (on current Home Assistant 2021.4.0.dev20210317 but the issue also happened on 2021.3.2).
Somehow when I click "Check Config" with the example entry from the readme, it's stuck. (Endlessly spinning)
The only "weird" thing I got in my configuration.yaml is this:
packages: !include_dir_named integrations
Perhaps this causes the constant modifier to hang?

If you install the latest version from Git, https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-znp#network-backup-beta can make a human-editable backup and you can restore it to change the channel (after editing the JSON)
Otherwise, you'll have to edit ZHA to call await application_controller.update_network_channel(25) somewhere (e.g. replace this line and permit joins https://github.com/home-assistant/core/blob/dev/homeassistant/components/zha/api.py#L886)
Neither method is easy but the second is the "safer" of the two. Hopefully this all will be exposed once work begins on the unified zigpy CLI.
Alternatively, if you have a tiny network and don't care about re-joining devices, just re-flash the zzh and your config will be used during formation of the new network.

Thank you for the answer. So you mean that the two numbers are the two LQI that each router/end device reports about each other? But then why some devices (end devices typically) have only one number? And why those LQI values are different from the value found in device card or in ZHA Newtork Card (try yourself!) and the two numbers are sometimes very different from each other? If those numbers are the mutual LQI how to understand what LQI is about what device?
Sorry to bother but... hey, I'm writing a guide about ZHA so...
mellow geode
I think the values shown in the ZHA Network Card are calculated differently. Perhaps they are not just the LQI from the last jump? But I’m not sure and you probably shouldn’t quote me lol

Tell them they don’t need to worry about it lol
ConBee generally has the highest LQI, then EZSP-coordinators and TI coordinators somehow calculate the worst LQI in the same environment
fossil grail

Yeah, if I tell them so they'll ask all togheter! 😄 I'll not tell anything at the moment. I've even watched in the zha_map js sourcecode and I understand that those values are two LQI about a device and his neighbor. But why some are two while others are just one number?
mellow geode
Perhaps the devices don’t report it when queried
Or the end devices were sleeping while the topology was scanned, so only the router could report the LQI
