50 direct children, 100 normal routes, 200 source routes, so ... should be good for over 300?

300 is way more than I can stuff into my home so that is great to know

Thinking about switching from deConz to ZHA...
Lately deConz kind of pisses me off a bit... Wanted a "decoupled" system for lights so in case Home Assistant is upgrading or is down due to whatever reasons I wanted the most important function of a Smart Home, the lights, to still function with motion sensors etc. so I chose deConz.
But for some reason I simply cannot get it to work properly anymore with Home Assistant and my Ikea blinds... just refuses to either operate it or read proper status values from it.

#

But when I switch to ZHA I'd have to set up all the automations for motion sensors myself which is gonna be fun

#

#

"decoupled" system for lights so in case Home Assistant is upgrading or is down due to whatever reasons
So what you're really saying is you want Z2M...

#

ZHA is part of HA. If HA is down, so is your Zigbee.

ember pine
#

Is Z2M "functioning by itself" in case Home Assistant as a whole is down? Aka. able to still turn lights on when motion is detected even when HA is down?

dry fossil
#

No... but nor is ZHA.

ember pine
#

Yeah, that's why I have deConz so far cause that's kinda convenient. But sadly their device support is somewhat lacking.

dry fossil
#

The difference is that ZHA is tightly coupled and Z2M is decoupled. You could use some other thing to control Zigbee if HA died or you decided to move away.

ember pine
#

I'm somewhat too lazy to go that far out heh ^^"

dry fossil
#

So you're stuck with deCONZ

ember pine
#

yep, sadly

#

Or I just say "suck it" when the lights don't work

#

🤷‍♂️

#

Hm, managed to get deConz somewhat working again now, tho having a weird issue where deConz doesn't seem to report any position of my Ikea Fyrtur blind to HA

Look at the links in the pin that starts There are three Zigbee options with Home Assistant (regardless of how you install it).

Couldn't you have told me that originally in hardware?

Ngl, bit rude for a 'mod' when someone is trying to ask for help. Isn't belittling someone against rule 3...

spare talon
#

the zigbee integrations listed in the pins have recommended hardware lists

graceful notch
#

it's even in the channel "notes"

#

it's not always clear where to post/ask but I just go for it and repost/delete if necessary

#

so if a mod directs you to the correct channel, it's to help, not to belittle you or anyone
(if you stick around, you'd be amazed how many things are being asked continuously)

#

I'm also sure they're not getting paid for doing this and you can get great support on this discord

vale slate
# graceful notch so if a mod directs you to the correct channel, it's to help, not to belittle yo...

I appreciate being pointed the right way. But when you ask in what is deemed and appropriately named channel, then come to the channel recommended then ask why they couldn't include the answer in the first message from them to then be given what comes across as a snark response quoting from a child's program on which they are calling people thick, is the opposite of what you come to expect when asking for help.

Repeat questions were not the problem here.

#

I even suggested I may have missed the link and asked for the direction. I was given it. Then asked why I couldn't be told that by the same user as my question was hardware related. Rather than a constructive answer to explain why my hardware question was not appropriate for the hardware channel a belittling response was provided.

Anyway, not to detract from the point of this channel I'll leave it at this.

I feel dumb sometimes. Are there any other battery-powered devices you can use for dry contacts like those Ecolink door sensors? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N5HB4U5/
(if you’re not familiar, the board inside has dry contact posts; great for a simple NC/NO circuit).

Those are #zwave-archived, but not married to it; open to Zigbee if anyone knows equivalent devices

sour shadow
#

Fibaro used to do Z-Wave ones like that, but they discontinued them years ago

(or both. Definitely both)

though the blakadder site is definitely not super up to date or consistent (I mean, it's pretty great still, just don't trust it 100%. For that matter don't trust anything 100%)

#

quick question.. does the ZHA integration have to be created in the GUI even though it's in my configuration.yaml file?

molten linden
#

yes

#

there are certain options that can only be defined in yaml, but the integration itself needs to be set up through the UI.

#

if you have the stuff in the config file first like channel it will use those options when creating the network on a new device

opal ridge
#

got it.. i'm trying to change the channel (to 25) and start over. i deleted the db file and re-added the integration, but the debug is still showing channel 15 (using itead 3.0 usb)

molten linden
#

okay since it's not a new coordinator, you'll need to change the channel on it with bellows

#

the easiest way I think is to back it up, edit the channel in the back up and re-store the edited backup to the coordinator

#

bellows -d /dev/ttyUSBX backup > backup.txt

#

edit backup.txt

#

bellows -d /dev/ttyUSBX -f -B backup.txt

austere patio
#

If you're trying to start over then you need to run bellows -d ... leave and then re-add ZHA. It'll use whatever settings you have in your config.

#

The reason I ask about the Itead stick is that I've read people complain that the sticks have some RF issues (probably why Itead stopped selling it )

opal ridge
#

I'm getting a timeout error running bellows

austere patio
#

Did you disable ZHA before running bellows? Can't have the stick being accessed by two applications.

opal ridge
#

I have about 5 devices right now without any issues.. but i'm about to add several more, so wanted to change the channel before

#

I deleted the integration

austere patio
#

Maybe try unplugging and plugging the stick back in

#

Bellows is what ZHA uses to communicate with your stick to begin with so if ZHA worked, so will it

opal ridge
#

still getting asyncio.exceptions.TimeoutError

Hi. I have got my CC2652P in a usb dongle module. wanted to know which firmware should I flash it with to integrate and upgrade from CC2531 in ZHA integration in home assistant..?

Such a situation:
As part of the test, I have 2 HA installations on different ports.
1 -on Blue with tasmotized Sonoff ZB brigde
2 - on Pi3 + witch CC25331 ZB stick
I cannot add any ZHA device on Pi3 +
I thought zigbee would create two independent networks and the idea would work out. Apparently, I missed something in the setup.
Can anyone help?

You're not trying to add the same device to multiple coordinators are you?

no, no but I thought that CC22531 will automatically use a different channel, which apparently it's not the case. Now I will go the easy way. Switching off my Blue and working on Pi3 as I plan to take home my Blue. Pi3+ with HA on SSD should be ok for my not-so-demanding system for my summer house here.

Just put it inside a Faraday cage to stop the interference.

Ok... Managed to screw up my Zigbee net. I noticed reallly lousy LQI values suddenly (12-40) for many devices, so thought I'd change the channel... Now z2m will not start... I should probably have checked the proper way of doing this, but...

sour shadow

Check the log file, and remember that a channel change will require re-pairing all devices

Yes, I have checked the log and it's apparently the zzh that I also need change the channel on, question is how... It's now a mismatch between configured and adapter setting

The stick takes the channel from Z2M

Aha, cool. So a restart of HA might do the trick then, thanks

#

Got it. stressed through the log. See that it is quite clear. Thanks

#

While at it, what is a decent LQI supposed to be? Is there a target zone to be in? My values (for whatever reason) were/is way off... And as these indicate the quality of the network, surely I want to improve them if possible. Re-paring is no fun of course, but perhaps good

What is needed for me to have a dual zigbee network in deconz? I have som issues using Xiaomi-devices and IKEA-devices in the same network. I run deConz today in a supervised docker setup on a NUC. (I guess that I have to dig out a RPi and setup a separate deConz on that)

solid inlet
#

So for now I reset the channel to what it was before, and now get LQI = "N/A" for most sensors... Guess I upset the network and it needs to settle/establish new routes?

Go prod all the devices, get them to check in

# sour shadow (I have both Ikea and Xiaomi on my non-deCONZ setup, zero issues)

Most devices work all right together, but when I tried to add the new singlebutton IKEA switches to my network, things broke. It seems like the new switch and some of the lightbulbs made their own little mesh, and was not controllable from deConz. I had to readd the lightbulbs to deConz to get things back in order again.

#

And a colleague of mine had to make 2 separate meshes because of incompability between devices. But he is on holiday now, so I cannot ask him how he did it.

Hey, I'm using zigbee2mqtt and since the latest HomeAssistant Core update I'm unable to control my roller blinds through Home Assistant. It works through the zigbee2mqtt web ui but in Home Assistant the buttons are greyed out. The service call doesn't work either. Other information about the roller blinds like battery % seems correct though.

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 info or debug
  • Explain what the problem you're having is - sharing configuration, errors, and logs
Command '~troubleshooting' was invoked by: Tinkerer
sour shadow
#

Check that HA is talking to your MQTT broker, and that Z2M is too

fading cove
#

Well, other devices work flawlessly so I guess that works alright

sour shadow
#

Do those "other devices" also use MQTT?

#

Did you check devtools -> States to see if there's duplicate entities?

#

That would be mentioned in the log file though

fading cove
#

Yes, I mean other devices through zigbee2mqtt, like my light bulbs

sour shadow
#

Check for duplicate entities then

fading cove
#

I see no duplicate entities but the cover.ID entities are "Unavailable"

#

the others like sensor.ID_battery show current data

Check the log file, with logger set as explained there

yupyup. Now to figure out what to actually do with it.

I was really just buying the inexpensive bulb, getting the remote as a bonus. But I decided to use a no-neutral switch instead, so now I need to find an application for both.

#

I don't quite understand what move/stop is, though. I thought it was going to capture twist movements for dimming (against the magnetic back it comes with), but it doesn't appear to do so.

#

Looking at the instructions, I guess it's designed to continue the dim until it receives the stop command.

#

For light bulbs: why opt for Zigbee over WiFi bulbs? Genuinely curious.

dry fossil
#

Because WiFi's a mess and it's basically the wild west. Every brand has their own protocols and apps, and you're locked into their ecosystem.

#

With Zigbee and Z-Wave, they're specifications, so (theoretically) everything should just work together and there's no vendor lock-in.

#

If you go with WiFi, there might be a working integration with HA... then one day, they could release a firmware update that blocks the API (like TP Link did with their plugs).

abstract crow
#

also because i already have 80 wifi devices in the house, i dont need to add more bulbs to that

and the 2.4band pisses me off. all smart home wifi devices should be 5ghz or just make them zigbee/zwave

brittle viper
#

what are the best switches to dim a smart bulb? can the aqara dim a smart bulb?

sour shadow
#

Well, if HA can dim it, then anything will work

#

Ideally you want a dimmer that you can bind to a bulb, but not all/many support that

brittle viper
#

yeah, that's what i'm having trouble separating out. most "dimmers" are all about dimming a dumb bulb but i just want to bind it to a smart bulb and be able to send on/off/brightness

Check the lists in the pinned messages

uneven ruin
#

the lutron aurora

#

you can bind it direct to the devices, bind it to HA, bind it to HA and then bind it to devices/groups through HA

#

only thing I'm not super stoked about is it trys to remember state

#

so if it thinks its off and the bulbs are on but dimmed it turnes them 100% on

#

my zigbee stick is one that has a flaw with lightlink stuff though so that may be why

#

I'm switching

(this is all zha for me)

It just send alternates on and off (hue button does the same) if not binding you could just make on and off events a toggle (I bind mine)

Hi all. I'm looking to dump the Ikea tradfri hub for a zigbee USB stick. Is it possible to run the zigbee USB stick on a raspberry pi that isn't also my HA host to get the USB stick closer to the majority of devices and not in the basement?

#

I know with zwave I can run zwavejs2mqtt on a pi and stick it elsewhere

austere patio
#

Or run Z2M itself on your remote pi and use the stick that way

brazen robin
#

@faint dome Instead of relocating the USB stick, you could get some Zigbee plugs. Since they are constantly powered, the will act as repeaters.
I live in a relatively small 2-bedroom apartment (~800 ft2). I have my coordinator on a USB extension cable so it is away from the Pi and out of the network cabinet in one room and it could not keep a connection to devices in the kitchen. Added the plugs and I've got good communiation.

faint dome
brazen robin
#

Gotcha. Makes sense. Didn't want you to move the stick and then find out that the range was still limited. Looks like you're already tracking on that aspect.

faint dome
#

Yeah my network rack & hypervisor live in the basement on the opposite side of the house from the bedrooms.

#

And it's an old house with lots of plaster & lathe. Even getting wifi through the house is hard

brazen robin
#

Even with the repeaters, do you still have lag or connection issues? I have a plug in each room, because the were cheap and, well, why not?

faint dome
#

I have zwave for a lot of my home smart stuff, but got Ikea tradfri as part of a trade I did a couple months ago for some lamps, because zwave bulbs seem non-existent

#

Otherwise I don't have many plugs around as all my smart stuff is switches

@faint dome I really like their "UFO remote". I have four right now but like enough I might grab a few more. The square ones are pretty useful for the price too. I just installed an RGB bulb but don't like the way it produced blue and green light so it is probably going back.

What do you mean doesn't work well? That's what I use with my IKEA remotes.

desert finch
#

I have a 3/2 house. There is a repeater in almost every room. The Ikea outlets. The remotes work maybe 20% of the time since I swapped off deConz to ZHA.

#

When I check the Map Visualizer, half the time it shows the remotes having no connections.

#

The remotes are paired. Will work for a few minutes then just fall off the network. Tested 5 remotes. All have brand new batteries.

brazen robin
#

Wonder if it is the repeaters and not the remotes? Do you have a repeater in the same room as your coordinator? Are you using a USB extension cable between the PC/Pi and the coordinator?

#

The remotes do go to sleep but that shouldn't give an 80% failure rate.

desert finch
#

Extension cable yes. There are some rooms with multiple repeaters. The remotes at the moment are no more than 15 ft. from the ConBee.

brazen robin
#

Do you have a lot of WiFi devices? IIRC, Zigbee and WiFi are on the same frequency.

desert finch
#

There are. But deConz worked reliably. Commands from HA work mostly reliably.

#

Remotes more or less never work.

#

Motions sensors are the same.

brazen robin
#

Any issues with other Zigbee devices?

desert finch
#

More or less don't work now.

#

ZHA for some reason is incredibly slow compared to deConz. Not sure why.

#

It's running under a VM on a mac mini.

#

So way more powerful than Pi.

brazen robin
#

Maybe it is your Conbee. I don't use that so I can't say. I had range issues with my NorTek Combo ZWave/Zigbee coordinator but they were resolved with the USB extension and a couple of cheap Zigbee plugs. (But I'm also in a 2/1 apartment.)

#

What are you using for your automations? (Button presses, motion detected, etc)

desert finch
#

Using Frenck's 5 button blueprint. I tie the remote and the lights to that.

#

Motion detected I'm looking at the status of the sensor directly.

#

Everything is Tradfri.

brazen robin
#

I never really got into using the Blueprints or Automations. I use Node-Red for all mine. I don't imagine that would be your issue though. I dunno. All my IKEA stuff works well. (Although I did not like the colors of the RGB LED bulb. It's going back.)

desert finch
#

I'll consider picking one of those up.

#

I would like to use Node Red. Haven't found enough information yet to make it work. I have it installed though.

brazen robin
#

I went in there and just started playing. I can send you some of the stuff that I've made to get you started. I definitely not an expert but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

desert finch
#

That would definitely be awesome.

brazen robin
#

Sending stuff to your DM.

Thank you.

Hello, im using a cc2531 as a coordinator on my pi with a 1 meter usb cable between the pi and the cc2531. It used to work without a issue. I had to reinstall zigbee, and re-add the devices which went well. But now all devices keep saying offline or unavailable, there are also no "lines" in the visualisation. Any idea what is causing this?

graceful notch
#

Did you use a backup ?

#

If not it might be a configuration issue that you used to do, like for example channel settings

mighty river
graceful notch
#

that depends on what you use

#

zigbee2mqtt ?

#

that is actually the only thing i know 🙂

mighty river
#

i use the Zigbee Home Automation integration

graceful notch
mighty river
#

thanks ill give it a look

#

its just weird it went from perfect to nothing working ;p

graceful notch
#

if you used a backup, it might as well have the device still stored somewhere

#

that is causing the issue

mighty river
#

i deleted the zigbee.db config file

#

which i think had all the info in it

graceful notch
#

with that I can't really help, as I'm using another setup

#

maybe someone else with ZHA experience can chime in

mighty river
#

what do you use as a coordinator if i may ask ?

graceful notch
#

conbeeII

#

also try setting your channel on 11 🙂

mighty river
#

ok lemme see if i can figure it out ;p

graceful notch
#

and then re-pair one or 2 devices just nearby your coordinator

#

to see what it gives 🙂

mighty river
#

now restarting home, and ill re-pair a device

#

would i need to re-install the coordinator as well ?

graceful notch
#

that shouldn't be necessary

#

but I think you might have to remove the channels: parts (it's either 1 channel or a mask I think)

mighty river
#

ok i'll change it 😛

mighty river
#

alright, i re-added so far so good. I kept them next to the stick though.

#

im afraid if i move them they might vanish again

graceful notch
#

well, try with something that's in the right place

#

and pair it from there

#

it's advised to pair your devices from where you're going to use them

mighty river
#

ah ofcourse

#

but im using a ikea tradfi repeater inbetween. as the stick might be to far away

graceful notch
#

I also suggest to first pair your routers /repeaters

#

then I'd do that one first

#

they should change when they find a better route, but sometimes it doesn't 🙂

mighty river
#

i read it also takes some time for the network to establish right?

graceful notch
#

it seemed to be instantaneous for me though 🙂

mighty river
#

the connections in ZHA i mean,

#

the motion sensor does react already just visual there is no connection yet

graceful notch
#

longest I had to wait for something to pair is 20seconds

mighty river
#

with the "lines" ? i know you use zigbee2mqqt so maybe its not the same as zha

graceful notch
#

I don't rely on the lines though, if it works, it works

#

I have a sensor that works fine

#

but is never connected to anything

#

it's floating in the cloud 😉

#

but it works

mighty river
#

ok good to know

#

if all else doesnt work again, ill try the repeater first in location mode.

graceful notch
#

same for LQI, don't try to rely on it 🙂

mighty river
#

if that fails too, i might have to get a conbee stick instead of the cc2531

graceful notch
#

I doubt it's the stick though

#

and there are more beloved sticks out there 😉

mighty river
#

as im not to familiar with the whole writting codes, this one and the conbee are plug and play :p

#

fingers crossed the channel switch helped already

#

so Chris, thank you so much for your help!

#

for now i will just keep an eye on it to see if it keeps working

graceful notch
#

no problem 🙂

#

it's something I learned in the beginning when using z2m that those settings are important

#

especially if you want to restore a backup

#

or install it on another device

mighty river
#

with the whole ZHA doing it all by itself i didnt see any of those settings

#

everything worked fine too, untill i migrated to SSD and everything was breaking ;p

graceful notch
#

but if it works now, i'm pretty sure it won't break anymore

#

not due to something like this 🙂

# gritty thunder Hey, can anybody tell me their experience with the newer Tradfri 806lm RGBW E27 ...

Went back through and saw your message regarding the IKEA bulbs. I initially could not get mine to pair. Read the on/off timing is kind of important. Used a 1-sec on/2-sec off method (which was kind of hard to do using a lamp with a twisty on/off switch) but it paired just fine. I did not like the color it produced though. The red seems fine but green and blue seemed too white. Found a video on YouTube where guy compared the IKEA with the Hue and he noted the same. Probably going to take them back. Response time was really good though compared to my Tuya-based bulbs.

Has anyone had trouble with sensors connected via Tasmotized sonoff zigbee hubs going offline despite still being up and running? I'm using the built-in Zigbee home automation integration and it will run fine for a few days then my door sensor will show as offline. Rebooting the hub doesn't seem to fix it.

Hello! I'm running a pi 4 with the elelabs zigbee pi shield on it, I tried to connect a zigtiger dimmable switch (UK dimmable zigbee switch), it paired but quickly dropped out and became offline. Long shot but does anyone have any advice?

sour shadow
#

Odds are it's on the edge of the mesh range

#

Can you stick a (zigbee) router part way between it and the next nearest router/the coordinator

fluid escarp
#

it's about 3-4m away. It connects to my alexa with the built in hub fine (admittedly it's about a metre closer)

sour shadow
#

Channel choice can also play a very big part

#

Did you ensure that your chosen channel is clear of WiFi interference?

fluid escarp
#

I have a wifi 6 router

#

that may be the case

sour shadow

The answer suggests you haven't even looked at it

figured i ask the question in here before i throw away my conbee2 stick. i using proxmox with an ubuntu server vm and the ha core docker install conbee 2 is passed thru fine to the vm and both zigbee2mqtt and zha both have no issues in detecting the stick just can't pair any devices to it. i literally stood over the stick with a motion sensor and still could get it to pair. anyone got any ideas besides it being toast

sour shadow

Standard things:

  1. Don't use a USB 3.0 port
  2. Use an extension cable
  3. Check for WiFi interference

I've tried on various occasions to get pass thru working with the conbee stick. I've pretty much accepted the fact that it won't work. I've tried on two different esxi hosts running docker home assistant, although the conbee will get passed through it just continually drops out... Not being able to scan might be a similar/related issue

I feel like I havee tried everything USB 2 port, extension cable, eventually gave up and moved it to a standalone NUC. It seems like a number of people seem to have the same issues from doing a Google search on the topic.

sour shadow
#

ESXi and passthrough seems to be ... painful

vernal prawn

I've had it working with my setup for months didn't switch anything and just went to trash yesterday

@vernal prawn do you have a channel set in your config ?

vernal prawn

yes

#

change my error log in zigbee2mqtt and getting an error that zigbee fails to start and have work through all the suggestions on the zigbee2mqtt docs

I suppose you mapped the conbee stick with device id an not ACMtty0 (or what it is)

#

and have also set a network key ?

#

also what channel do you have in your config ?

vernal prawn

let it generate it own network key and set the channel to 14

That's a bad choice of channel

Thanks for letting me know! zigbee2mqtt.com has a tip for pairing the bulbs, maybe you can check it out if you have that problem again. do you have a link to the video? i only found one video for the new ones, the other videos were all for the old ones i think, I guess there are not available yet worldwide. i'm using a local (I think) brand from germany right now, i guess there are worse in color reproduction then hue, but i never saw hues in real live.

#

anyone know how you issue commands to z2m?

#

I'm trying to bind an Ikea dimmer to a group of lights. i was successful with 2 others but this one is fighting me for hours.

#

i can see my button presses in the logs, and the lights work if i just click them in HA

#

n/m i had to keep pressing a button on the remote to get it to accept the commands. weird.

brazen robin
#

You mention old and new bulbs. I just got mine two weeks ago. Wonder which ones I ended up with.

gritty thunder
#

they still sell the older ones here for cheaper

#

just chech the lumen

brazen robin
#

Yeah. Now that I'm looking at the package, mine are labeled 600lm

gritty thunder
#

the new ones are 806

#

yeah you got the old ones

#

the color reproduction is supposed to be better on the new ones too, but i heard people having problems with coil whine, hoping that it is just a bad batch.

brazen robin
#

Looking at IKEA US, they don't even advertise the 600lm, but the 800lm is out of stock at my local store. These might just be the stuff they were trying to get rid of.

gritty thunder
#

yeah probably

#

hard to say from a video without comparison, but I think that is the new one.

brazen robin
#

Date on the video is very recent so that could be a good sign

gritty thunder
#

yeah and the package says 806 lumen so must be it

brazen robin
#

I notice at 0:58 in the video that the "green" looks more like a "lime green". That's kind of what I was seeing with the 600lm. (Or could just be weird RGB from the app.)

#

The blue looks better at 1:04

gritty thunder
#

yeah i see what you mean it kinda looks more like the color one up

fervent storm
#

I've had this problem before and I can't remember how I was told how to fix it - basically the Lidl bulb I have does RBG and warm white to cool white. But when detected in ZHA it only displays the colour wheel and on/off - no white color temperature? can anyone remind me what I need to do to get it displayed properly?

#

although I have just noticed that it was detected as: unk_model
by unk_manufacturer

fervent storm
#

cancel all that - I just removed the device and added it again and this time it has appeared as the correct model

brazen robin
#

@fervent storm I think you would want to click Reconfigure Device (Integrations > ZHA devices > device that's giving problems). It says "Use this feature if your device is not functioning correctly." I think it does the same thing that part of the add device process does.

#

I just noticed the option to "Add Devices via This Device" when looking at the information for a mains powered device using the ZHA integration. That's kind of cool. Now, when adding a device, I wouldn't have to take it close to the coordinate and then move it to its respective room. (Have Zigbee plugs in each room to act as repeaters.)

sour shadow
brazen robin
#

Tinkerer: Oh. Okay. I always though that the new device had to be close to the coordinator. But this is certainly good to know.

sour shadow
#

Nope, that's never been the case

#

All you do if you do that is screw up the mesh

brazen robin
#

Doesn't the mesh repair itself or do what it wants? If it didn't then none of my routers would be working because I've always taken the device to the coordinator. The network map shows end devices going through the routers.

sour shadow
#

Depends.... routers will usually reconnect. End devices ... may nor may not

#

Xiaomi rarely do, other brands never do, some brands do all the time

You'd then pick from your choice of Zigbee integrations to use with it

It's not the best choice, being slightly old and limiting you to the Pi for running Zigbee, but it's a reasonable starter

@untold slate Generally, don't tag people to ask for help - it comes across as bad manners, you’re demanding somebody answers you. It’s different if you’re 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 don’t DM (direct message) people asking for help. It also comes across as demanding, and means that others can’t 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). 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.

Then plug it in, find the /dev/serial/by-id path, and away you go

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 supported. 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 (though the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset), 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 recommended option being the [CC2652 based sticks](#zigbee-archived message). If you want to use an EmberZNet stick see this issue. 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.

Anyway to check if a Zigbee device supports direct binding without having the device? I've worked through the z2m docs looking at the devices which support it, but there's no way of knowing if a device just hasn't been tested for support, or if it is guaranteed to not work.

Side note: What's the best way of supporting those that are always so helpful in this Discord server? A server boost?

Can any of the other hubs/gateways be easily (enough) hacked to work with HA without some cloud integration? Is there any hardware I can cobble together?

I see zigbee over wifi (serial) isn't recommended, but is there any issue with zigbee+esp32 over wifi running zigbee2mqtt (assuming good wifi). Are there pros/cons I'm missing for zha vs z2m?

sour shadow
#

WiFi and Zigbee use the same frequencies.... this is a recipe for pain

severe linden
#

Going to have that anyway if it's 2.4...the 2.4 noise floor in my area is horrible. Crazy the number of APs I can see...SSIDs are worse due to mesh systems in the area.

Then you want to avoid using more WiFi... not add to the noise

@austere patio it's seem to have started when I added a hue outside wall light type econic

#

There are a few motion sensors which now sometimes react slower then normal and some lights that sometimes do not turn off while the automation told them to go off.

#

Maybe the whole network needs to settle again?

austere patio
#

You can ignore the warning, it's just saying that the device reports a cluster that isn't known to zigpy or any quirk

#

The slowness seems like network issues, nothing controlled by ZHA specifically

Anyone know if I can integrate Philips Lightstrip Plus to HA without Philips HUE hub if I already have the zigbee stick and ZHA integration?

That and the Z2M compatibility list are in the topic and the pins. They should be the first place you check when wondering if something is supported.

#

Guys pls what do I get by using mqtt? Or the other way, what is it that I cannot do without it? Does it open many options eg for automations? Or is it a code writing way instead of UI?

uneven ruin
#

the concept of zigbee2mqtt is that you can run it stand alone and communicate through a single standard (is my understanding)

#

mqtt also communicates to some other systems extremely well

#

my plan is to run zigbee2mqtt in a different building that will be networked in but too far for zigbee to jump reliably and just push everything to a central HA

Does anyone use Aqara smart wall switches? I'm trying to grab the event when the switch is clicked, but I am not getting any events from zha_event in Node Red when the switch is pressed or activated from within HA.

Hello, I have an Aqara H1 EU (No Neutral) and an Aqara D1 Remote. I have issues with both. The wall switch doesn’t return state when physically clicked on right rocker. The remote only send toggle command whether I click on right or left rocker. I think there should be quirks there but there isn’t any loaded in ZHA. If anyone have any idea.

@desert finch can you listen to ALL events in NR for a list a but, and click your wall switch and see if anything Aqara related comes thru?

Right - deconz + Conbee II

sour shadow
#

Does it behave in the deCONZ UI?

solid inlet
#

When it in DevTools for a device says supported_features: 45, what features is it talking about?

merry siren
#

the deCONZ UI is still a mystery to me - but it does control properly in the Phoscon app. Whats weird is, I have 2nd HA instance set up for testing, and I just pulled it into there...and the color picker works.

sour shadow
merry siren
#

So something has changed in my main HA instance that would prevent the color picker from working, but I don't see anything in the logs

There's been a few updates to how lights are handled, but I'd have expected the deCONZ integration to be updated for it

Hi! I'm new to HA and just installed deconz and conbee 2. I've succesfully added an Ikea smart plug. It works in deconz but I can't find it in HA. Any idea on how I can find it?

#

I want to create an automation in HA that uses the smart plug that I've added in deconz

sour shadow
#

Check devtools -> States

#

It'll likely be switch.SOMETHING

mighty river
#

Thanks, Can't find it there. I have a list of items, but nothing that is the smart plug

sour shadow
#

You did install and configure the deCONZ integration?

mighty river
#

Yes, and I used the Phoscon interface and added the switch there

#

It works there, and I have restarted HA

mighty river
#

It works now, I had added the Addon and configured it, bit not the Integration.

#

You were right, I thought that configuring the addon was all that needed

Something strange just happened to my deconz. I have a raspberry with hass OS and a raspbee 2 and after restarting it just now Im getting an error in my integration. The logs are saying

Pressing "Configure" on the deconz integration gives me

I'm using zha with a Sonoff Coordinator flashed with Tasmota. The zigbee devices work for a time and then go offline. I have 5 zigbee router devices spread across the house to provide connectivity. Everything else HA has been flawless up to this point. Not sure where to start troubleshooting as I do not see any sort of pattern and have no method to reproduce the issue.

sour shadow
#

Check your Zigbee and WiFi channels - the Sonoff coordinator can take itself out easily, it's really not a great choice

@molten linden Can you comment on where you think ESP's new board fits within the existing Zigbee ecosystem? My initial thoughts is that much of ESPHome's functionality will be easily ported and this will seriously reduce the amount of cycles required to write zigbee firmware. Am I on the right path here?

molten linden
#

I have no clue 😂

#

Honestly just see as them pushing into a low energy iot position that competes with TI, SiLabs, Nordic and I guess NXP 🤷🏼‍♂️

fleet lodge
#

Interesting... I just completed a firmware project for CC2562P2 in Code Composer Studio that was primarily UART and some C. We spent an entire day trying to get the UART setting correct as they were not as we would have liked, but ESPHome makes writing this firmware REALLY easy (https://esphome.io/components/uart.html). The abstraction of so much of the harder systems programming makes ESPHome doable for even guys who don't write code or C for a living.

I wonder if they'll use their own radio. Their own Zigbee stack 😲?

The Zigbee 3.0 light sensor? It should "just work".

I'm having an occupancy detection issue with the Aqara motion sensors in Z2M:

  • Sometimes they will both detect occupancy immediately, other times it will take as much as 10 seconds of constant motion.
  • One will work, and then the other won't, and then they'll switch places.

@silent lintel Are you sure all of your zigbee network is functioning correctly?

#

10 seconds of me waving my hand in front of the sensor for it to go from clear to occupied

fresh shard
#

yes but is the sensor reseting to off before expecting it to go on again?

silent lintel
#

Okay I must not be understanding, lol sorry guys. If the sensor is untouched for lets say 10 minutes, sometimes it will detect occupancy the moment i wave my hand in front of it. But, sometimes it's like nothing is happening

fresh shard

you have both outcomes after waiting 10 minutes?

What happens if you wrap your hand with tin foil and wave in front of it?

It's the reason why some sensors will go off when there's a reflection, like a car going past your window.

Yeah all is probably fine then

Are the sensors in direct sun?

silent lintel
#

Not directly, one of them is next to a window

fresh shard
#

Well I would try in a more removed location to see if you have similar results the sun can interfere with most motion sensors as it considers the sun a heat source

#

Just as a test

dry fossil
#

Or swap their locations. See if the one that worked stops working, and the one that didn't work starts working. Then you'll know if it's the location.

silent lintel
#

Thanks Mono and beatified!

austere patio
#

Swap in new batteries if you have any

#

The reported percentage is useless so I usually change them when the sensors start misbehaving

fresh shard
#

Also consider that a hand to close to the sensor may not be as effective in triggering as a simple walk by the sensor accross its horizontal field of view as. If walking by doesn't trigger almost instantly somethings is wrong

silent lintel
fresh shard
#

A volt meter if you have one would solve that problem right away. anything below about 3.1 volts would be suspect

silent lintel
fresh shard
#

there you go. I have had similar things happen when voltage was low

silent lintel
#

Hey i just wanted to make sure. Arent these batteries 3v? so wouldnt that make below 3v be pretty much brand new?

fresh shard
#

I believe with full voltage they are around 3.3

silent lintel
#

CR2032?

fresh shard
#

But when voltage gets a little on the low side you can start seeing weird stuff happen

#

yes

silent lintel
#

I just popped one fresh out of the box and it's like 2.99. It could be an old box i suppose

fresh shard
#

Yeah thats what I would condier bad

silent lintel
#

off to the store for a new box

fresh shard
#

well maybe not hold on

silent lintel
#

okay

fresh shard
#

I'm trying to look up the voltage right now

#

I think the nominal voltage is 3.0 but a fresh battery is more like 3.3 or 3.4

#

but double checking

dry fossil
fresh shard
dry fossil
#

The curve looks something like that for 'button' batteries.

fresh shard
#

look at about 40 secs in

#

and when a battery has a load on it the voltage drops according to that load.

#

yeah I have one here that reads 3.36

silent lintel
#

Oh wow. Mine is not hitting 3. My "fresh" unopened pack could be 4 years old

dry fossil
#

3v is fine. Look at the curve 😄

fresh shard
#

and another is 335

#

yeah it might work but I have seen issues with low voltage batteries like not being able to pair or odd reading

#

Like I said if the sensor is drawing more current the voltage will drop quickly

#

and obviously when sending to the zigbee network it will draw more current

#

Its a result of internal resistance when it increases (ie when the battery depleats) the voltage drop is higher

#

That is why the curve shows a progressivly worse battery voltage over the life of the battery. I,m pretty sure that no device will work properly below at best about 2.5 volts

#

Sorry for rambling

I had a sonoff button that came with the battery in it at 2.8 v and it stopped working after about a day of use

Hello everybody, i'm new here and i hope i found the right spot to place a question.
I have a HA-Installation right out of the box, added some Homematic-IP, and everything worked fine.
Now i added a zigbee-stick. two of them to be true, a TI-Stick and a Conbee II.
I installed the integration "zigbee home automation" and connected it with the TI-Stick. Everthing fine.
I installed the integration deConz and connected it with the conbee II. Everthing fine too.
i liked the look and feel of the ZHA more, so i connected all deviced (4 lamps and 5 plugs) to the TI-Stick, and was happy with that.

#

Now i started to buy more equipment. bought a sonoff zbmini, work fine.

#

bought a MoesGo smart dimmer, and the trouble started.

#

the dimmer can be connected to the zigbee network, but only a device is created, no entity.

#

if i connect the dimmer with the conbee to deCONZ, both (device and entity ) are created.

#

i have no idea, why deCONZ is creating both, and ZHA only creates the device. can someone point me in the right direction?

#

wait, i found it:
"manufacturer": "_TZE200_la2c2uo9",
"model": "TS0601",

yep that one is added manually in deconz

#

thats why it works there but not in ZHA

icy musk
#

ok, thanks. you are a great help. have a nive evening.

molten linden

TS0601 has a quirk in ZHA, looking now to see if that manufacturer code is there or not

violet dagger
#

its not

molten linden
#

lol might be as simple as adding it if the signiture matches any already in there

violet dagger
#

if there already is a TS0601 dimmer it might be as simple as that

anyone using aqara motion sensors have problems with them eating batteries? one of mine seems to destroy a battery every couple of months. the weird thing is that it's on the stairs, and i have 2 on the stairs, and the other one has no problems despite them both being triggered. As soon as I put a battery in this one it seems to report the battery level is low. I think it just needs to be binned/trashed. Any thoughts?

sour shadow
#

Nope, no battery issues here

violet dagger
#

nada

fresh shard
#

@mystic imp what type of sensor is it that is eating batteries?

#

Sorry just read again motion

#

Is it possibly getting false triggers?

austere patio
#

They seem to report effectively the open-circuit battery voltage, which doesn't translate all that well to a percentage

#

Mine hover at the same voltage/percentage for the entire year

mystic imp
#

@fresh shard not getting false triggers - if it was my lights would be going on and off all the time

#

it's just weird that the same sensor goes dead

#

and the other one on the same stairs is fine

#

i need to swap the battery from the dead one to the good one and see what happens

fresh shard
#

Yeah maybe you got a bad batch of batteries? Another user seemed to have some batteries that were only at 3 volts brand new

mystic imp
#

could also be. i didn't buy the best batteries

#

but it would still be weird that only one of the sensors would kill batteries, but not another

#

anyway, will do some sleuthing this weekend

fresh shard
#

Yeah it would but you might just try taking the battery out of your "good" motion sensor and put it in the "bad" sensor and put a "new" battery into the "good" sensor just to verify that the sensor is the problem

I’m thinking about getting ahead of my install and using the container instead of the os. I have 15 zigbee devices paired to a usb stick. Will they just show up when I re addd the zha integration or do I need to re pair all of the devices?

ZHA? Zigbee2MQTT?

winged granite
#

zigbee2mqtt

sour shadow
#

Check the Zigbee2MQTT logs then

#

Also, /usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/zha/core/gateway.py says ZHA

#

So, if you're using Z2M you also have ZHA configured and need to remove it

winged granite
#

i guess i am not aware of the exact definition of ZHA. before migrationg everything to homeassistant I used openhab and there everything was done by zigbee2mqtt because i thought there is no other possibility without buying a gateway. after starting homeassistant for the first time, i instaled the zigbee integration and i was able to "search" for new devices and discover them automatically. on openhab i configured everything manually. i thought it worked because the mqttbroker and every configuration on the devices stayed the same and the zigbee integration was able to see that 😄

#

i just give the zigbee integration the path to my usb connector and i was able to discover

#

so i guess I used ZHA without knowing

#

since the zigbee integration is able to discover everything perfectly i think there is no need for zigbee2mqtt anymore (openhab zigbee binding was not able to discover zigbee devices automatically)

sour shadow
#

Make sure you're not running Zigbee2MQTT any more - it could be that it's still running and locking the stick

winged granite
#

u r exactly right man. awesome 😄 i guess the zigbee2mqtt docker container started faster than the homeassistant container, locked the stick and HA was not able to use it. after stopping the zibee2mqtt container and restarting homeassistant it worked instantly

Should all zigbee lights fire a zha event when changing state or does that require a quirk?

austere patio
desert finch
#

It's a switch.

#

This is the only zigbee wall switch I've used (all mine are z wave). I figured zha would fire a status update message. I ended up getting the raw message from HA to accomplish what I wanted.

austere patio
#

All of my switches and bulbs send an on_off or current_level attribute report when their state changes for any reason. What switch are you using?

desert finch
#

Aqara no neutral single rocket

gentle flint
#

Is it a switch or a remote?

desert finch
#

In wall switch.

gentle flint
#

The one i have does send updates. With a slight delay because it is an end device. Make sure you have good coverage for that switch, as it is not a router

desert finch
#

I do. It works great, and I can guarantee it does not send any zha events.

#

No matter how long I wait.

#

and does anyone make a US zigbee switch that is a router?

gentle flint
#

It would not send zha_events, it's not a remote, but it does up date state if operated manually

desert finch
#

I see. So zha only sends events for remotes?

gentle flint
#

Yes. for devices with entities you should get state updates, as long as it's not a hue bulb

I see. I read through all the zha docs I could find on the site. Is this documented somewhere? There might be additional information I'm missing and need to learn. (appreciate all the help too).

Looks like the sensor isn't responding

#

Have you tried waking it?

Poking the button, no... will do

#

No effect. New battery also didn't work. It seems to have fallen off, but why? I have a mains device within about a meter

Can I re-include without first deleting it?

When hitting reconfigure, device needs to be awake, but will z2m also need to permit join?

Nah, just needs to be awake

You can re-pair without removing though

Hm, I take back that with the battery... It now started to blink the percentage first and now shows null for battery...

Something very strange with that one. Now blinking a red % sign again and showing None% in HA...

Then likely the connection to the mesh is weak/unreliable

This is ridicoulous. After upgrading to 8.1 three other sensors malfunction in the exact same way, but the first works this time. I don't know how to debug this. Until 8.1 I had a stable mesh and network... 😦

#

Good news, if you're using Zigbee2MQTT HA has nothing to do with it

#

Also known as correlation is not causation

solid inlet
#

No, that is at least something, agreed... But seems incompatible, or somewhat at least. Will see if I there is an upgrade to the zzh stick then. 🙂

#

Would it be possible to update it through z2m gui or will I have to reflash? Hope not??

sour shadow
#

Updating the stick is reflashing it

solid inlet
#

Yes, but can it be done in the gui? Didn't find it... I though flashing it would also wipe it...

sour shadow
#

No, and no

solid inlet
#

Ok, thanks. Will dig in. Always a mystery, but what would life be without them, right? Thanks!

took battery from dead motion sensor, put in good motion sensor, good sensor didn't work. so battery definitely dead. if this sensor kills another battery quickly i'll probably replace it

Hi there,
I have just installed 3 Aqara D1 double wall switches with neutral (QBKG24LM), connected them via ZHA integration and the Conbee II stick. Switches work fine and instantaneously but I can’t use any of additional press types (double, triple or long) and no events are fired when watching for zha_event in developer tools. Has anyone been able to push out more of those switches? If yes, how?

Hi, is there anybody, who have IKEA LED1836G9 bulb connected to zigbee2mqtt?

#

I want to set Power_on_behavior (enum), but it has no gui

stable dew
mighty river
#

what about log?

stable dew
#

What could be possible causing it? I have brand new fresh install of HA and this is first addon I'm trying to run

#

yea about that, where do I find the log? Configuration > logs is empty

sour shadow
#

The add-on logs

stable dew
#

Log:

Zigbee2MQTT:error 2021-08-05 18:30:28: Error: Error while opening serialport 'Error: Error: No such file or directory, cannot open /dev/ttyACM0'

Alright it tries to access ttyACM0 but my sleash stick on actually running on another remote system and I'm sharing it over TCP using ser2net.

When I edit this file:

/config/zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml
and change /dev/ttyACM0 to tdp://... and reboot zigbee2mqtt addon, it wipes out my config and restores back to /dev/ttyACM0

mighty river
#

and what happend if you edit config via supervisor?

stable dew
#

I edit using the file editor addon

#

It says save successful but as soon as I reboot zigbee2mqtt addon it overwrites my config back to default

mighty river
#

I broke my zigbee2mqtt config about 2 minutes ago using supervisor, so try that way

stable dew
#

ah, I see what you mean

#

didn't know you can edit it there as well.

#

Alright let me try it

Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)
Either your adaptor isn't at the address you said it is, the stick is broken, or the stick doesn't have the firmware.

stable dew
#

How can I check stick's firmware? When ordering it from slaesh I selected zigbee2mqtt firmware to be pre-installed on it

#

in the meantime, let me do tcpdump to see if I'm even getting anything from HA system

sour shadow
#

He has instructions for flashing it

stable dew
#

alright I can see my ser2net server being hit by my HA server using tcpdump, so that bit is working. Gonna try checking the firmware

#

just reflashed the stick using the python3 script but no luck, I still get the same problem in the log

dry fossil
#

Then simplify your setup so you can isolate the issue. Forget ser2net... what happens when you plug it directly into your HA host?

stable dew
#

not possible, I'm running my HA on a standalone Hyper-V host

#

I guess I could dig out another Pi4 from my drawer and try running it directly from it, but it's a pain

#

However, tell me one thing...

#

I want to run my HA as a Hyper-V VM because I use Veeam to do backup of all my VMs automatically. Is it possible to setup some sort of automatic backups of HA if I was to run it all directly on Raspberry PI?

I basically don't want to spend all this time setting things up and then have microsd card failure...

#

and I also don't want to manually having to backup microsd cards

sour shadow
#

Sure, there's Snapshots if you use HAOS

#

However, don't use a Pi if you have proper hardware

stable dew
#

hah yea If I could only pass-through the stick on Hyper-V I would

austere patio
#

I think ser2net may need some special config for slaesh's stick

sour shadow
#

If you're running a Pi for the stick, run Z2M there too

stable dew
sour shadow
#

Over MQTT, same as currently

dry fossil
#

Just run Z2M somewhere else and have MQTT do the last leg of the communication.

#

There doesn't seem much point having ser2net forward stuff to your HA host if MQTT can do that.

stable dew
#

🤔

#

true

dry fossil
#

It's a simpler setup and doesn't require anything fancy like the extra config puddly mentioned.

stable dew
#

I only got my hands on HA yesterday and still trying to get my head around all of it

sour shadow
#

It's rainbows and pixie dust

#

aka glitter... looks nice until it gets everywhere and frustrates you 😛

stable dew
#

hah that's my experience with every open source linux based software I ever tried

#

an absolute pain in the a. to get started, but works great once you figure it out

sour shadow
#

HA is pretty good, but yeah, the learning curve is more of a wall

stable dew
#

right now I am at the pain in the a. stage hah

Won't work with your old version then, that option was added only a few months ago to the ser2net repo

stable dew
#

ugh

#

what repo can I find it in for ubuntu server 20lts

#

ah whatever, just gonna install deb file

austere patio
stable dew
#

ser2net pre-depends on init-system-helpers (>= 1.58)
init-system-helpers is installed, but is version 1.57.
alright I will just run zigbee2mqtt on the Pi to which I connect the stick

#

I will come back if I have more problems, thanks

austere patio
#

Idk why slaesh decided to add this pin toggling to skip the bootloader, no other stick does that

stable dew
#

Once I have it setup, I assume I just go to configuration > mqtt settings > and put ip address of my zigbee2mqtt server in "Listen to a topic", right?

sour shadow
#

No

stable dew
#

😦

sour shadow
#

You point Z2M at your broker

#

The same broker that HA is pointed at

dry fossil
#

If you're new to MQTT, it's a pretty typical publisher/subscriber system. A bunch of different things can all subscribe to topics on a broker, and all get notified when something else publishes to those topics.

stable dew
#

I'm new to all of it

dry fossil
#

Z2M and HA both 'watch' the broker, and can both publish and subscribe. Which topics they do it on are all handled for you by Z2M (and the autodiscovery magic it does)

sour shadow
#

MQTT makes life "easy" since everything talks to your broker

stable dew
#

ok, but what is the 'broker'?

sour shadow
#

Mosquitto, typically

dry fossil
#

If you don't have one yet, you need to run one 😄

stable dew
#

I got "Mosquitto broker" installed on my HA

#

I guess that's it

sour shadow
#

Yes

dry fossil
#

You've seen spy movies, right? Z2M is Spy A. HA is Spy B. Your broker is the trash can they pass messages via.

#

Mosquitto is a trash can smart

stable dew
#

haha good one

#

I think I get it

dry fossil
#

That's a slight oversimplification, since it implies there's polling going on, but hopefully you get the idea that it's a centralised data store that other stuff can talk to without being aware of each other. Spy A never needs to know who Spy B is.

stable dew
#

ok so to sum it up, I setup zigbee2mqtt on my Pi where the stick is going to be connected to, and then point it at my HA server running Mosquitto broker addon, correct?

sour shadow
#

Yes

dry fossil
#

And point HA at the same broker trash can.

stable dew
#

If I understand the config correctly, the addon listens on port 1883 by default

sour shadow
#

Yes

stable dew
#

🥳

sour shadow
#

All you have to do with Z2M is enable support for Home Assistant and the native frontend

#

Once you've enabled the frontend 99.9999% of your Z2M config can be done in that UI

stable dew
#

oh at least it runs on nginx, cool

#

that's my fav

sour shadow
#

Well, no, but it can be behind it

nvm I should have read before posting

running zigbee2mqtt directly on Pi where slesh stick is connected to still doesn't work:
