So, I have reporting set for endpoints 1 and 2. Source_endpoint is bound between endpoints 1 and 3 (and 5) to the coordinator.

#

And from source_endpoint 3 to the s2 relay and from source_endpoint 4 to the wall plug.

#

Don't know what you get from this, but it is working. Hehe.

tender hedge
#

are you sure you are getting action notifications from your enpoints 3 and 4 or is it state changes from 1 and 2 that you see?

#

would you mind sending me screenshots from your bind/reporting pages? somehow i can't deciper what you mean with some of your settings

#

because with default settings, it works fine for me also (no action notifications but state changes). But as soon as i decouple endpoints 3/4 from 1/2, i cannot see my button presses on 3/4

scarlet bramble
#

So I sent the screenshots as DM.

#

I don't know if the actions are sent, no. Just know that the state is updated in HA and that everything works fine in reality. Hehe.

tender hedge
#

yeah, that works also for me. as i said. i want inputs and outputs independent ideally

#

thanks for the screenshots!

scarlet bramble
#

Ah. Okey!

#

Hi all, I hope this is the right channel for this question. Is it possible to bind an ikea remote and outlet to each other as well as both being added via a Conbee 2? I tried in different ways but it seems they just want to bind to one or the other.

#

I was curious if this might be a limitation of zigbee itsself

sour shadow
#

As I'm fond of saying - it's not the stick that matters, it's the Zigbee integration you're using that matters

#

deCONZ, ZHA, or Zigbee2MQTT?

twin frigate
#

ZHA

#

one thing beforehand, i managed to add both to HA just fine, I just wanted to know if it is possible to bind them directly to each other like with the ikea gateway

#

you then can also use it if the hub is not powered at all

spice shoal
#

does zha work with ser2sock/ser2net or similar?

austere patio
spice shoal
#

Perfect I’ll try it out

austere patio
#

EZSP radios apparently have strict timing requirements so it may not work very well if you're using one over a link with appreciable latency

#

Not an issue for TI coordinators though

spice shoal
#

It is a nortek so could be a problem I guess

#

But everything is wired so hopefully latency shouldn’t even remotely be an issue

austere patio
#

As long as you're not doing it over wifi I think it should work

spice shoal
#

I’ll find out shortly 😉

#

I’ve never used either ser2sock or ser2net, in this context does it matter which is used?

austere patio
#

I think the two main ones are socat and ser2net. I was able to use the latter but they all use the same "protocol"

forest canyon
#

@austere patio do you have any plan to expose a sensor's last_seen at on HASS?

austere patio
tropic depot
#

do you mean as an attribute?... may make more sense as a sensor itself on the device w/ diagnostic category

forest canyon
#

@tropic depot I have a blackout which I protected from being closed if the window is open, but it only makes sense if the door sensor is alive

#

yes

tropic depot
#

prob something we can look into

jovial aspen

Yeah last seen would be great

#

@austere patio and I assume that doesn't work with HA corret?

austere patio
#

No clue, I don't have any BLE mesh stuff. I don't think it's a locked down protocol though and people mention it works with the SmartThings hub (which seems to support BLE mesh) so there might already be a HA integration for BLE mesh

ionic pawn
#

ok cool. I'm gonna go with the ikea ones ig

austere patio
#

They're large but inexpensive. Would be 10x better if they added a little button to turn them on and off.

ionic pawn
#

Does it matter much which CC2531 I buy? theres a bunch of options on amazon

austere patio
ionic pawn
#

oof

#

what should I get

wispy locust
austere patio
#

Depends on the integration you're planning on using. CC2652 sticks work with ZHA and Z2M, EFR32 sticks work with ZHA, Conbee works with deCONZ and seems to either work fine or break catastrophically when used with ZHA and Z2M

ionic pawn
#

these all seem much more expensive. and I don't see the sonoff on amazon 😦

austere patio
#

The $10 CC2531 you linked to doesn't come with firmware so you'll need the $15 flashing cable and programmer before it can be used as a coordinator (or an Arduino/raspberry pi and jumper cables that don't properly connect to the debugging connector)

ionic pawn
#

Yeah I was planning on flashing it with a pi

#

I've got a breadboard

#

what do you mean it's not a good coordinator?

austere patio
#

The firmware for it is not developed anymore

#

It can "lock up" every week or two and you have to physically unplug it or power it off by rebooting your host

#

Can reliably send only two concurrent requests. CC2652 can send 16.

#

Like if you have a small apartment and just want to connect a temperature sensor, go for it. I would just spend the extra few dollars on a coordinator that's actively supported.

ionic pawn
#

Ok cool ty! this is the info I need. do you agree with cole that the sonoff is a good bet?

#

or is that something else

austere patio
#

All of the CC2652 sticks are pretty much identical so if it's in stock it's definitely a better choice than the CC2531

wispy locust
#

yeah if you don't mind flashing the stick any of the CC2652 will work this just saves you that step

austere patio
#

I think the Sonoff one is pre-flashed with a recent build of Z-Stack

ionic pawn
#

sweeet thanks guys!

austere patio
#

But even if you do, flashing the newer sticks is done over a serial bootloader, not with an Arduino and a breadboard

ionic pawn
#

ok I'll probs get the sonoff then

#

I bought on the the cc2531s on amazon so I have something to play with until the sonoff gets here

#

thanks for all the help gusy

Hi guys

#

which is the best usb powered zigbee router to couple with conbee + ZHA?

#

is it good enough?

vapid oar
#

@puddly just an update. I've had problems with the zha integration not working when connecting the ZigBee usb dongle. I got it fixed and did two things, not sure which one or both solved it: 1. Bought and usb to USB extension cable so the dongle was far away from the RPI 4 and SSD. 2. Switched from the usb 3.0 to the 2.0 in the RPI for the ZigBee dongle. That fixed it for me. Thanks for you help, you definitely where right in the cause of the problem.

Wondering if anyone would be able to help point me in the right direction

#

I have a hive thermostat and receiver. I have them both connected via zigbee2mqtt and I can now control the heating setpoint through a thermostat widget. All good.

#

However the issue I am having is that the the temperature being used to decide whether or not to begin heating is the temperature reported by the hive receiver, which is wildly innacurate.

#

What I am wondering is if it is possible for me to use the temperature reported by a seperate device, say a sonoff temp sensor, as the local temperature rather than the one provided by the climate.boiler entity?

#

I know this is all quite vague, sorry I am quite new to all this and feel like I have overcomplicated everything.

lilac wharf

#

Fantastic, thank you! I will take a look at this integration and see if I can sort this out 🙂

Oh wow I really have to learn more here, I am confusing myself too much.

reef aurora
#

does anyone know which zibee usb would work with sonoff motion sensor / humidity sensor?

fading basalt
#

I use a CC2531 personally

lilac wharf
#

@reef aurora the zigbee adapter doesn't determine compatibility; the zigbee software does

#

I would skip the CC2531 and get something CC2652-based, such as the ZZH or the sonoff zigbee 3.0 dongle (🙄) plus

south moth
#

I've just started using deconz. A Hue light and aqara sensor had been connected via a signal repeater. But within a couple of hours they both dropped of the Zigbee network. The distance to the signal repeater is about 5 m. almost direct line. What am I missing to keep it stably connected?
And how do I get the devices back on the network?

scarlet bramble
#

However you need to have an automation which updates the external_measured_room_sensor value.

fading basalt
#

Ah, I have realised the limitation I have here. I think I will just get a different receiver and thermostat.

#

Pretty much, when my HA instance is paired with the receiver, the hive thermostat will no longer connect to the boiler, understandably. However the local_temperature value set on the receiver will remain at the last temperature reported by the receiver.
So it doesn't matter what temperature value I use within home assistant, the receiver will not turn on the boiler unless the occupied_heating_setpoint is above the internally stored local_temperature value.

#

I should've realised this from the beginning!

reef aurora
#

ok, my sonoff sensors seem to work with my conbee II

#

kinda-

#

i was able to pair temp sensor, but only after several tries

#

did everything exactly the same every time, pressed button for 5 seconds, scanned for new sensor

#

What am i doing wrong?

austere patio
reef aurora
#

*phoscon

austere patio
#

Permit joins and then reset the sensor. The sensor will scan for networks, see that the Conbee's network is open, and then join.

reef aurora
#

ok ty

austere patio
#

I haven't tried with the Conbee but I've never had issues with that order when joining the Sonoff temp sensor to CC2652 and HUSBZB-1 coordinators

#

It just takes a few seconds for it to scan after the light turns red

reef aurora

still not working :/

#

screw it, im just going to DIY something with ESPhome

austere patio
#

I'm not sure if deCONZ hides the device until it is completely initialized so maybe try ZHA?

hi not sure if this should go here or in hardware but i figured here would get the best chance of someone being able to help. i recently got one of these zigbee remotes and am having a hard time getting it to work in HA. i have gotten colours working sort of but they are always offset and i cant get power working properly. has anyone used one of these with HA before and if so how did you set it up? https://rgbgenie.com/?product=rgbgenie-rgbw-remote-zigbee

#

I feel like my hue bulbs are brighter at 100% now they're connected to ZHA than they were when they were on the hue hub

south moth
#

Do I need a hub for eg aqara or ikea to use with ZHA? I can use it with Conbee 2

jolly narwhal
#

No, you use the conbee

south moth
#

Great, thus I can connect the ikea, aqae, hue etc. to conbee directly?

#

If there a real advantage of using deConz over ZHA in my case?

jolly narwhal
#

No idea, I use zigbee2mqtt

woven flare
#

do not use deconz directly yse zigbee2mqtt

fallow sphinx
#

why zigbee2mqtt over the built in integration?

woven flare
#

lighter faster stronger ? 😄

fallow sphinx
#

how can it be lighter to have an extra dedicated app running than to use the thing that is built in?

fallow sphinx
jolly narwhal
#

I use zigbee2mqtt because I prefer decoupled systems

#

I run nothing directly connected to HA, HA just processes everything

fallow sphinx

thats fair

#

i like the ZHA integration because i like having the interface for adding devices etc.

jolly narwhal

Opening the webui of z2m takes 1 second

Can also be added to any button via mqtt

So you can reach it native in HA

Hi here!
I have an issue with my setup.
Using Consbee and ZHA i can read the status of my ZBMINI but can not turn it off... Could it be a cable issue or is it a software ?

sharp surge
#

Is there something fundamentally wrong with the deCONZ integration? (I’m using Container in docker.) I’ve got two Hue hubs that are connected without problem, but deCONZ keeps showing ‘retrying setup’ and errors like Logger: pydeconz.websocket
Source: /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pydeconz/websocket.py:110 I believe I read about a different integration to try, but can’t now find the details anywhere.

Ditch deconz and just buy a usb zigbee stick.

I am managing to get a bit further than earlier. I had an existing installation using deCONZ with homebridge that had various groups/resourcelinks/rules set. Although HASS has an option to ignore deCONZ groups, these were NOT filtered out. I have deleted all these extras and I am just using the conBee II as the zigbee interface to HASS with no extra features, it seems much more stable. (Previously, I was seeing entity statuses flashing on|off all the time.) I am also not seeing any error messages in the log. (This is with 70 devices comprising 97 entities.) Good luck!

Hi, I'm installing HA at my parents and I'm not able to pair zigbee devices anymore. I'm using Z2M v1.21.0, with cc2531 coordinator running fw 20190619. I managed to pair 5 devices without issues. But when starting with a 6th, I first saw it with missing information. I deleted it, then tried to add it again without success. I know there is a limit but is it set to 5?

jolly narwhal
#

Should manage more, but cc2531 will guarantee you a horrible experience unless it is a very small apartment or few total devices

#

And if it doesn't have an external antenna it is borderline useless

#

what do you suggest as a zigbee controller?

#

"Wanting advice about what stick? Look in the pinned messages. Just don't buy anything CC2530 or CC2531 based.".. well.. that barely excludes anything.. i'm looking for a recommendation.. i'm very happy with the z-wave stick.. the aeotec one.. looking for something similar for zigbee.. have no idea about the differences between zha, zigbee2mqtt and deconz.. so i'm looking for advice regarding that as well

lilac wharf
#

That excludes quite a bit actually. Anything CC2652-based is a solid choice

shadow valley
#

there's too many choices here 🙂

lilac wharf
#

Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Dongle Plus, ZZH! are some examples

#

Yeah, that's one

shadow valley
#

sonoff's sold out

austere patio
#

They're all CC2652 sticks so they'll behave more or less identically

#

What integration are you using?

shadow valley
#

no integration so far

#

i'm starting out on the zigbee journey

austere patio
#

Different integrations support different coordinators

#

CC2652 sticks work with both ZHA and Z2M so they're not a bad choice

#

deCONZ only supports the Conbee and is a bit harder to hack on since it's not fully open source

lilac wharf
#

Yeah, I tend to recommend cc2652-based stuff since they work well with both ZHA and z2m

Hello, I'm using Zigbee2MQTT and Home Assistant with MQTT Discovery enabled and I'm having a weird issue since yesterday. I added 4 additional Philips Hue light to my Z2M instance and from the Z2M UI, they work perfectly. My issue is they do not show up in HA, not even in the logs (as an error or such).

@austere patio its a 3v battery and its testing at 3.06v but okay

@uneven ruin its connecting to just one of the repeaters in the garage right now (it's also in the garage)

#

Open circuit voltage doesn't really tell you much the battery is actually discharged

gleaming jay

but it could develop more connections later, I only just managed to get it to re-add

Even a completely drained coin cell might "recover" up to 3V if you let it sit for a while but then drop the moment anything draws current

#

my zigbee network definatley has odd choices of connections

#

I guess, but my battery tester has always been pretty reliable, and its also only a few months old

but its got a duracell in it now, perhaps the colder temps in the garage were impacting it

#

@uneven ruin are you implying you can force it to make smarter connection decisions?

austere patio
#

You can "force" the initial parent but there's no way to prevent the device from picking another one later

uneven ruin
#

those never change their "parent"

gleaming jay
#

i'm constantly re-pairing this one casue it keeps losing connection

#

currently its chosen to connect to just one repeater and that's in the garage

theres another in here it should connect to but its not. I've seen it where after a few weeks I'll check again and it's made new connections

austere patio

Your integration should allow you to permit joins only through a specific router

Click on a specific router and in its device page, you should see a "permit joins through this device" button or something similar

Buttons should last a year or few unless the connection to the mesh is very weak

I am adding an Xiaomi button to Zigbee2MQTT. They tell me to add a line of code to the "devices:" in configuration.yaml.
But where do I add the "devices:" line? Is it part of "default_config:" or "homeassistant:"?

Has anyone had issues with the ikea motion sensor not resetting after it detects motion? I have automatic lights that turn on if I open a door, but only if there's no motion detected inside the room. However, I've been having issues where the lights won't turn on because the sensor says it detects motion, even if I haven't been in the room for hours.

#

Or maybe it's just becoming unavailable

#

Oops nevermind, it was an issue with my code. I was checking if it was off, when I should have been checking if it was not on

I am using the z2m add-on and just updated to the latest version released today (as pretty much nothing wrked with previous update). I am starting everything from scratch and will pair my devices again. However, when setting the configuration to connect to the MQTT of HA I am getting MQTT failed to connect: Connection refused: Not authorized

#

server is set to mqtt://core-mosquitto

#

from the container I can ping core-mosquitto.

#

from my own box I can connect to mosquitto with the exact same credentials provided in the conf

#

I am just surprised by the "not authorized" which does not sound exactly like bad login/pass

#

on mqtt side I can se these logs :

#

Is it possible to use Philips Hue smart plug without a Philips hub (ZHA being used with HASS instead)? Looking to add a smart plug as a router in the middle of my house to help with the some of the connections. I live rural and this is about the only Zigbee device I can grab locally without getting something shipped to me

With ZHA though almost any Zigbee device should work - and that goes even more so for Philips (Zigbee) devices

Don't ask to ask, just ask your question. Then people can answer when they're around.

When you do ask a question, try to provide as much background detail as possible. Ask yourself these questions first so that others don't have to:

  1. What version of the Home Assistant are you running? (remember, last isn't a version)
  2. What exactly are you trying to do that won't work?
  3. Is the problem uniform or erratic?
  4. What's the exact error message?
  5. When did it arise?
  6. What exactly don't you "get"?
  7. Can you share sample code, ideally with line errors where the error occurs?

I'm gonna bet on CC25xx, no routers, deconz, zha, heavily populated apartment building with lots of 2.4ghz devices

#

sour shadow
#

And interference, lots of

night rain
#

Zha, nortek gocontrol (on default channel, 15 I think), my wifi on channel 9 (so only a little overlap), one Ikea ZigBee range extender and two Ikea ZigBee plug sockets as repeaters, and I live in a town home, so only one person on either side of me, one with a somewhat strong router on channel 1

molten shale
#

Yeah, and try to place your zigbee network on a channel without too much wifi interference if possible.

sour shadow
#

Channel 9 for WiFi... that's ... odd

#

There's a pinned message that covers scanning for interference. You'll also want to stick the coordinator on a USB extension cable

night rain
#

Well 1 6 and 11 we're all pretty populated, my router actually chose 9 on it's own

#

Yeah that was going to be my first step, unfortunately with both my router and rpi on the same usp, they're right next to each other. I just bought a USB extension so hopefully I'll get the USB dongle at least a few feet away from the router

#

My problem with the wifi is that channel 6 is pretty low congestion, but then it'll overlap quite heavily with ZigBee channel 15, and I'm not entirely sure how to go about changing it, and I assume I would need to re-pair all of the devices

sour shadow
#

You would

night rain
#

Is there any reason why I shouldn't have my wifi on channel 9?

sour shadow
#

The interference scan however will tell you what channels are better to use

night rain
#

Is it just not meant for that?

sour shadow
#

Well, on channel 9 you're interfering/getting interference from everything on 6 and 11

#

You've just made life worse, overall

night rain
#

Okay, yeah my router changed to it about a month ago for some reason and I feel the wifi has been a bit more spotty, I think I'll take manual control over it and switch it to 11, which is slightly more congested than 6, but won't overlap with my ZigBee stuff

#

Alright that's fixed, going to take a look at the interference scan pinned message, thank you

jolly narwhal
#

actually, if you arent using any 2.4ghz devices

#

you can just turn it off

#

I only have my ESPs left on 2.4ghz, and one of my heat pumps

for most homes with modern devices there wouldn't be any 2.4 only devices I guess

I'd bet you're guessing wrong 😉

#

I'm looking at the interference scan commands but I'm unsure how to get them to work. I'm attempting to enter them into the terminal ssh add-on from within HA, but it's not working

sour shadow
#

You'll likely need another PC/VM to run all that

#

And you probably want a spare Zigbee stick - but here even a CC253x stick will be fine

night rain
#

Wait so I can't run the interference scan without a whole other computer and ZigBee stick?

sour shadow
#

Well, you can use the same stick, but you'll need to stop HA first

#

Whether you can run the required commands inside the SSH add-on, I have no idea

night rain
#

And if I stop HA, I can't use the ssh add-on. Makes sense

sour shadow
#

Sure you can

night rain
#

Oh

sour shadow
#

HA is another container from the add-on

night rain
#

You're just unsure on wether or not it'll work?

sour shadow
#

I don't use that install method, or add-ons

night rain
#

Ahh, yeah mine is rather basic. Just HAOS on a rpi4

#

Well since I've moved my router, and now ZigBee channel 15 coincides with the least congested wifi channel, I'm just gonna skip the interference scan

#

I'm not ready to change channels and repair all of my devices

#

I'd rather start with moving the USB dongle to an extension cord

jolly narwhal
#

how many devices do you have ?

#

it is usually less than a minute per device to repair

#

I did 60 in 45min

night rain
#

35

jolly narwhal
#

so less than half an hour if you choose to repair at some point

#

unless the devices are well hidden

night rain
#

Will I need to rebuild all of my automation as well?

#

Or will it remember device names and IDs when I repair

jolly narwhal
#

no idea for your integration, for zigbee2mqtt they came back with the same name

night rain
#

I still think I'm gonna start with moving the dongle to and extension cord

#

Easier than stopping HA in the middle of the day which messes with our automations, using a whole other computer to run Ubuntu (which I've never used) to run commands to determine the best channel, to then go re-pair all of my devices in hopes that it remembers each of them. It seems like a bit much

#

I'll start with the easier solution first, and if it doesn't work, I'll come back and you can say you told me so 😅

#

Am I able to just unplug the dongle and plug it back in no problem? Or should I stop some sort of process?

jolly narwhal
#

you would need to restart whatever is using the dongle

So I should just be able to unplug, replug, then go into integrations and reload zha?

If you have a second computer to run bellows, you can just yank the stick out and plug it back in later

night rain
#

What's the easiest way to run bellows? I'm assuming I'll need a Ubuntu vm?

lilac wharf
#

Don't actually yank though, be a gentleman/woman/meatsack

night rain
#

I'll be as firm with her as I darn well please tyvm

austere patio
#

If you don't have a second computer with Python to run stuff. Even windows will work.

night rain
#

I have a windows PC with python

#

The thing you just sent me tho, that looks like it's meant to run from my rpi, correct?

austere patio
#

All of the zigpy packages, including bellows, run on any platform with Python 3.7+ installed

night rain
#

Looks like I install zigpy and do an energy scan?

austere patio
#

bellows is used by ZHA to talk to your radio so it's already setup and running in your Home Assistant container

#

But if you have a second computer ready to go, it's usually easier to pip install bellows and run the scan from there

#

Instead of installing HA add-ons and configuring them

night rain
#

Okay, lemme give that a try right now

#

I'm assuming I should grab the dongle first? Lol

austere patio
#

If you are using windows, make sure to run pip install pyserial-asyncio==0.6 after so that it works

#

The instructions I linked to earlier have a section for every platform. Just install bellows instead of zigpy-znp and run the appropriate bellows scan command

night rain
#

I'm In windows terminal, but I don't understand what to type

#

pip install bellows doesn't do anything

#

The > py command from the link you sent doesn't do anything either

austere patio
#

Do you have Python installed

night rain
#

Yeah

austere patio
#

Then you should have the py -3 launcher (there's no leading >)

night rain
#

"the term 'py' is not recognized

#

I have python 3.7.9

austere patio
#

Doesn't look like it's setup properly if you can't run it. Try the HA addon way if you don't want to try reinstalling Python.

night rain
#

If I open up windows terminal, what exactly should I type?

#

Just to make sure I'm not doing it wrong

austere patio
#

py

#

If that doesn't work, the Python installer may not have created the launcher script. Last I checked that's the default so maybe try reinstalling a newer version of Python for windows

night rain
#

Alright I just updated python and it looks like it's working

#

So now how do I install bellows instead of zigpy

austere patio
#

pip install bellows and then run that other pip install command I mentioned earlier

night rain
#

I'm getting a syntax error

#

File "<stdin>", line 1
pip install bellows
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax. Perhaps you forgot a comma?

austere patio
#

That's supposed to be run as a command, it's not Python code

night rain
#

i dont know what that means

austere patio
#

You ran the py command to launch the Python interpreter

#

pip is another command. Exit out of the Python interpreter with ctrl-z or whatever the windows shortcut is.

night rain
#

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized]\

#

i just launched a fresh terminal, and typed pip install bellows

austere patio
#

Hmm, windows. Maybe py -3 -m pip install bellows ?

graceful notch
#

sometimes you might need: python3 -m pip install bellows

#

of whatever pkg you want to install

night rain
#

that looks like it worked

#

now?

#

it looks like bellows downloaded, but i typed bellows scan

#

and nothing happened

austere patio
#

bellows -d COM3 scan -e -t 500 --channels 11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26 should work (replacing COM3 with your radio's COM port)

night rain
#

in device manager i see "HubZ zigbee com port", but no where do i see a number

#

is there something i should be looking for in properties?

#

it also says drivers arent installed

austere patio
#

Looks like you have to "view hidden devices" in device manager on Windows 10 to see them

night rain
#

says the term bellows is not recognized

#

lmao

#

when i go to download bellows again, is says its already satisfied

#

i updated the driver and my com port is the same as yours, so i copy pasted the command

lilac wharf
#

python3 -m bellows...

how do i update the path? just uninstall and reinstall?

Just pip install bellows

#

Inside the virtualenv both python and pip should work

#

its finally working, thank you

its all negative numbers, should i go with lower or higher numbers?

They're RSSI values so the more negative, the less noise. What do your scan results look like?

so channel 20 would be best it looks like

austere patio
#

You seem to have nearby WiFi networks on channels 1, 6 and 11

#

If you want to change the channel and possibly not have to re-join all of your devices, run bellows backup -d COM3 > backup.json to make a backup, edit the channel and change it from 15 to 20, then run bellows -d COM3 restore -f -B backup.json

night rain
#

would that work if the dongle isnt plugged into the pi?

#

also i think im gonna take my laptop down near where the dongle will actually be located and run all of this again

#

just to double check, cause im currently running the scan from the other end of the house lol

Scanning where the coordinator will actually be located is a good idea 😆

night rain
#

okay so i just tried backing up, then immediately restoring without any editing, and its spitting out the same chunk of code

austere patio
#

I think it could be powershell redirection. Can you remove the > backup.json part and copy/paste it into a file?

night rain
#

copy paste what?

austere patio

The bellows backup command will print the JSON to your terminal if you don't redirect it to a file

night rain
#

just create a new file on notepad ++?

austere patio

Does that backup file restore properly?

#

do i save it to the same location as the other one and with the same name?

If the old file doesn't work then you can replace it

This came today. I'm going to swap out the conbee2 and see how it goes. It seems like HA is showing unavailable for the aqara temp sensors after some time (using two z31 lite zb plugs). Oddly, restarting homeassistant software seems to bring them back which surprises me. Curious to see if the sonoff zbdongle will maintain the connection.

this time i didnt get an error, it just said restoring ncp for like 6 seconds then nothing, just went back to waiting for another command

should i back up again to see if it worked?

#

yeah it updated. now do i just plug it in to the pi, and reload zha integration and hope for the best?

austere patio
#

If you didn't touch ZHA and just unplugged the stick, you only need to plug it back in

#

Your routers won't know about the new network though so you will probably have to power cycle them

night rain
#

well, so far nothing has become available yet

#

@austere patio im freaking out lol i cant even tell if the stick itself has come back online yet

austere patio
#

Not all devices will re-connect to the same network on a different channel so you may have to just re-join the routers that don't

night rain
#

neither of my plug sockets or my repeater joined back up, im assuming i need to repair them?

austere patio
#

Did you unplug them for like 10 seconds so they shut down?

night rain
#

no, let me do that now

austere patio
#

But yeah, changing a Zigbee channel is not like changing a WiFi network's channel. I can get most of my IKEA devices to migrate after a reboot but some require re-joining.

night rain
#

so ive added both of my plug sockets, but i still cant control them for some reason

#

nevermind theyre starting to come back. looks like ill have to add a few, but thank you @austere patio , definitely took a bit longer than i was expecting, but hopefully itll hellp

No problem, hope your network works better after the channel change. Unfortunately, Windows doesn't make installing a Python package and running two commands very easy.

Ok, trying to get my hue bulbs to pair with the coordinator. I have reset the bulb with the remote and they just aren't being discovered at all. Anyone have any ideas? All my other zigbee stuff has paired without issue.

hexed elk
#

I have no Zigbee devices at home yet. I am considering buying several IKEA TRADFRI motion sensors to use with HA (not paired to individual IKEA lights, as I don't have any nor do I plan to buy any in the short term).
I read that this is possible although not with the IKEA gateway. So, before buying anything at all. I've looked into USB dongles that could replace the IKEA gateway... and ideally save a few bucks along the way. I read that the recommendation is to go for CC2562-based dongles, too.
The only CC2562 dongle I found that costs less than the IKEA gateway is the "SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus".
Since it's a HA environment, I'm thinking ZHA may be easier than Zigbee2mqtt (but I also have tasmota devices, so mqtt is there too).
Is that a good choice based on the context?

jolly narwhal

The IKEA motion sensors were horrible

I got rid of them quite quickly

austere patio
# hexed elk I have no Zigbee devices at home yet. I am considering buying several IKEA TRADF...

If you have just a coordinator and motion sensors, your Zigbee mesh won't be doing much meshing and your range will be somewhat limited. If your installation is larger than a small apartment, I suggest getting some router devices (anything mains-powered, like light bulbs, switchable outlets, dedicated routers, etc.) so the motion sensors at the edge of your mesh can reliably transmit back to the coordinator.

Xiaomi are great

#

But yes, have a lot of routers, I use tradfri bulbs around my house

Xiaomi on Amazon cost nearly double than IKEA, at least here. I am willing to follow your advice, but how do I justify that to my "CFO"? What made you remove the IKEA ones?

jolly narwhal
#

AliExpress is cheap

hexed elk
#

fair enough... only 1,5x 😉

jolly narwhal
#

The older Ikea's only had fixed timeouts via a switch on the back, that was horrible, and thankfully I only bought 3 of them before I bought the xiaomis

#

Then again... I have 120+ ZigBee devices

hexed elk
#

ok, that is indeed a good point, ... so you configure your xiaomi timeouts remotely and they are more flexible than ikea, right? I was assuming that timeout would be done in automations in HA.

#

(but trying to learn from experienced people, this is why I'm asking)

jolly narwhal
#

I don't know if that still holds valid for the new models

#

This was first gen IKEA motion sensors

#

But Xiaomi are reasonably priced, and has great battery life

#

And just looks better

hexed elk
#

Thanks! I found them at around 13-14€ per piece on Ali... Reasonable indeed. But you're getting me a little worried with all the router stuff. Is around 6m + 1 wall too far away?

jolly narwhal
#

The battery operated devices do not mesh generally

#

So you would just have a lot of point to point, with great chance of interference and dropouts

The cooldown was one, but they also disconnected a lot and ate batteries

So you click the "add device" button, hold down the reset button on the Aqara sensor for a few seconds until the light blinks twice, then just wait?

It might take a few tries, though I've never had any issues joining Aqara sensors to a CC2652 coordinator on the default channel.

austere patio
#

Do you click the "add device" button a few seconds before resetting the sensor?

hybrid cipher
austere patio
#

Have you performed the joining procedure for Aqara devices before? You have to hold down the reset button until the blue LED blinks slowly three times. Once it blinks for the third time, it should blink twice more (or do a long solid blink) and then start looking for a network a few seconds later

hybrid cipher
austere patio
#

There's no other procedure to join devices to the network so short of the Sonoff having a hardware issue (like their last batch of Zigbee USB coordinators did), I'm not too sure what to suggest. Try enabling https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/zha/#debug-logging and post the log? CC2652 support is stable at this point so I doubt it's a software issue but you never know.

I've had tons if issues pairing xiaomi devices. Last time I added something I tried to enable joining via a ikea outlet and it worked instantly. I assume they tried to handle it via hue lights before and it did not work for some reason. Just a hunch tho

jolly narwhal
#

I've never had issues pairing Xiaomi devices

#

And I have 25+ of them

vestal atlas
#

I guess it depends on the routers nearby 🤷‍♂️. Everything else has paired instantly

unreal plover
#

I have Aqara smart socket with energy metering; in ZHA, for the instant power I get regular values, but the "smartenergy_metering summation_delivered" only changes when I query it manually. Any idea what is wrong and how to fix that?

uneven ruin
#

xiaomi tends to pair to the first thing it can talk to regardless of if its a good idea, and never updates who it talks to. So it can be hit an miss

smoky hornet
#

picked up sonoff 3.0 dongle but nothing will pair. I guess I'll try a different cable

smoky hornet
#

No go with a different cable. I do see a few warnings and an error in the logs.

austere patio
smoky hornet
#

Received an unhandled command: SYS.ResetInd.Callback(Reason=<ResetReason.PowerUp: 0>, TransportRev=2, ProductId=1, MajorRel=2, MinorRel=7, MaintRel=1)

#

No response to command 0x0002

austere patio
#

The first one's normal

smoky hornet
#

Then the error is a webscket python stack track with http connection in components/zha/api.py:237

austere patio
#

Can't say what the second is without context but probably not an issue either

smoky hornet
#

I haven't tried plugging it into the server without an extension cable. I guess I could try that.

austere patio
#

What device are you trying to join?

smoky hornet
#

Currently I just have a s31 zb lite plug

#

I also tried some aqara temp sensors earlier

austere patio
smoky hornet
#

Okay I'll give it a go

#

The good news about these problems is at least I'm learning more about python.

#

I've been wanting to for a now but this is forcing me down that path

#

Made it pretty far through pip install zigpy-znp but it crashed hard

austere patio
smoky hornet
#

Oh it's missing gcc

#

Take 2

austere patio
#

Are you in the Home Assistant docker container?

smoky hornet
#

yeah

austere patio
#

You don't need to install anything in there, zigpy-znp is already installed

smoky hornet
#

oh okay

austere patio
#

Those other instructions are only if you're installing it in a different environment

#

Just disable the ZHA integration and the scan should run. You're not the first to complain about devices being unable to join the Sonoff CC2652's network so either it's just coincidence or there may be an issue somewhere

smoky hornet
#

I have ZHA disabled, but (excuse my denseness here) how do I actually run zygpy-znp. It doesn't seem to be recognized as a command

austere patio
#

python -m zigpy_znp.tools.energy_scan /dev/serial/by-id/some-id

smoky hornet
#

Okay got it

#

This look right? /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_442b892eb293eb11a2201b4f3d98b6d1-if00-port0

austere patio
#

It'll keep scanning continuously so just ctrl-c it after a bit

#

That seems right

smoky hornet
#

Okay now we're rolling

austere patio
#

Is ZHA disabled? It doesn't seem to be able to access the serial port

smoky hornet
#

It is. Let me restart the container

austere patio
#

The tool, I mean. The serial port can only have one application access it so if ZHA is running then other things won't

smoky hornet
#

Yeah, I disabled the integration

austere patio
#

Strange. Maybe try re-plugging the stick and run it again with -v for more verbose output?

smoky hornet
#

Okay I removed it and restarted homeassistant and it looks like it's moving

austere patio
#

It's the same code in either case so if it worked with ZHA then it should work here. Try deleting the ZHA integration then if you haven't added any devices.

smoky hornet
#

ZHA deleted, replugged dongle directly into server, used -v and I get more feedback but I run into that same error. https://dpaste.org/bjWs

austere patio
#

Hmm, the stick definitely shouldn't be failing to respond to Sending request: SYS.Version.Req()

#

It fails even earlier that time. Very strange.

smoky hornet
#

I wonder if it's some weird hardware incompatibility. It's on a dl380

#

I guess I could try another usb port

austere patio
#

Try switching it from a 2.0 to a 3.0 (or vice versa)

#

That USB-serial chip is pretty decent so it shouldn't be randomly breaking like this

smoky hornet
#

This is a g6 or g7 so it may only have 2.0

#

I had a conbee2 using this same port prior. I was able to add devices to it but the aqara sensors were going unavailable all the time. The plugs were working great though.

#

Oh this accepts -vv too

austere patio
smoky hornet
#

Probably not a terrible idea anyway

#

Okay I've got the firmware, any guides on updating?

austere patio
#

If you're in the HA docker container, you can install the flashing script: pip install https://github.com/JelmerT/cc2538-bsl/archive/refs/heads/master.tar.gz intelhex

smoky hornet
austere patio
#

Hmm, looks like that doesn't work any more. You might have to do it directly via git: pip install intelhex git+https://github.com/JelmerT/cc2538-bsl

smoky hornet
#

Okay that looks successful.

#

(making notes for future)

austere patio
#

And then you can flash it with cc2538-bsl.py -evw -p /dev/serial/... /path/to/firmware.hex. I'm not sure if the Sonoff stick has some sort of button you need to hold down while inserting it to get into the bootloader, or if they have that working with software.

smoky hornet
#

I didn't see any buttons on the device but I'll take another peek

austere patio
#

Looks like it's software

#

Flashing new firmware will erase NVRAM but since you had no devices on your network, that shouldn't make a difference. Once you re-add the ZHA integration (or run python -m zigpy_znp.tools.form_network -v /dev/...), it'll form a new one.

smoky hornet
#

Having a bit of difficulty finding the firmware.hex

#

oh wait

austere patio
#

It's in the .zip file I linked to above, in the Zigbee2MQTT Z-Stack build repo

smoky hornet
#

Yeah I'm confusing myself. I downloaded it locally, not on the server. heeh

#

unzip fails with "Short read"

#

Let me see if I can unzip it locally

austere patio
#

Not sure if the HA docker container has curl or wget but the .zip file you can download if you copy the View raw link

#

Otherwise GitHub send an HTML response

smoky hornet
#

It has wget

#

Yeah you're right it's html

austere patio
#

Maybe the Sonoff stick needs a few extra options to get it into the bootloader with that script

smoky hornet
#

interesting. Let me see if I can pop it open easy enough

#

okay I'm in. Here goes

#

okay I don't have the firmware updated, but I did get the energy scan to run on another box

austere patio
#

Looks like a faint WiFi network on channel 11 is all that's around

#

Or the radio's receiver is not working very well

smoky hornet
#

It looks like my 802.11 AP is on channel 11 for 2.4

#

A few tuya devices on that network

#

I could force it to another channel

austere patio
#

The Wifi network is the peak near Zigbee 22 and your Zigbee network is on channel 15

#

So no channel congestion there at all

#

Actually that is surprisingly quiet

#

I can get my ZZH coordinator to display an energy scan that looks like this if I unscrew the antenna

smoky hornet
#

My house is fairly far from my neighbors

#

Should I do another scan with antenna removed?

austere patio
#

I don't see why not, hopefully it looks different

smoky hornet
#

ha 0.00% for everything

austere patio
#

For comparison, here's mine with a strong 2.4GHz AP on channel 1 (shows up as the peak around 12/13) about 20 feet away: https://dpaste.org/NDUy

smoky hornet
#

oh wow

#

The sonoff is in my basement. The AP is on my main level

austere patio
#

That might be why. Sonoff's stick has a custom antenna design and their last attempt at a stick (different chip) suffered from RF defects that made it "not work" in a similar way

#

But if your stick is in a basement and you're far from other potential 2.4GHz RF sources, maybe that scan is normal. Mine's done in a very different environment.

#

If you were able to get the energy scan tool to run on a different box but not on your HA server, that may also be a problem. Maybe the SiLabs CP2102N has compatibility issues with whatever hypervisor you're using.

smoky hornet
#

Yeah I'm wondering about that. There's not really any other way to expose it to HA is there?

#

I'm trying some of these other zigpy_znp commands and getting 2021-11-03 23:20:03.169 docker zigpy_znp.api WARNING Received an unhandled command: SYS.ResetInd.Callback(Reason=<ResetReason.PowerUp: 0>, TransportRev=2, ProductId=1, MajorRel=2, MinorRel=7, MaintRel=1)

#

And then they bomb

austere patio
#

Those are just a minor startup "bug", it's the first thing the radio sends when it is plugged in or reset. If anything after that runs (with -v you can see), everything is working.

#

You can install ser2net or socat on a different box and expose a serial port over your network. socket://ip.addr:port will work as a valid serial port path in both the CLI tools and in ZHA itself when you set it up.

smoky hornet
#

Oh that's interesting.

#

Sounds promising

austere patio
#

Though usually hypervisor serial problems are with the cheap CH340 chip, not the Silicon Labs CP2102N

smoky hornet
#

Well I think I'll call it a night. You have been a tremendous help and a wealth of knowledge. I really appreciate it. I think tomorrow I'll work on this firmware a bit more just to see if I can eliminate that from the equation and if not I can try one of these serial over network tricks

austere patio
#

No problem. Let me know if you do end up getting it working, I'm sure others with similar hardware configurations will be receiving their Sonoff sticks shortly and have the same issue.

smoky hornet
#

Yeah will do. Should I send you a direct message if I get it working?

#

Oh you're the package maintainer! You just merged my PR haha

austere patio
#

You can just @ me on here, that way it's more visible

@austere patio I did get the new firmware installed and I formed a new network, energy scan, etc. worked fine. But ZHA has the same issue unable to see any devices. Now I'm going to bed for real.

Hello all!
Question:
I am going to install Home assistant on my NUC. I already have a conbee II stick. Till now I always used the ZHA integration for connecting my lights. Before that I tried the Deconz integration but I didn’t understand that because I was a beginner at that point. The problem I had then was that, if I connected a motion sensor to conbee I couldn’t find the device in my device list in HA.
Because I want to create a new clean home assistant in my home I want to know what config works the best.

Long story short: deconz or ZHA? And why?

Thanks.

sinful swift
#

See the 6th pinned post.

sour shadow
#

TL/DR: The real question is Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA?

slender yarrow
#

Hello, I have added a group to zigbee2mqtt, I tested the group directly through mqtt and the group works. I have the problem, that the group is not added to Home Assistant. Why? Do I need to add it manually?

sour shadow
#

What version of Z2M are you on?

cloud pendant
#

Since ikea broke binding to groups in their latest firmware for on/off button.
Directly binding to devices are limited to 6 devices max. I got 8 lights...
Have anyone found a workaround?
(Except for the obvious, doing a automation in HA)

#

Downgrade is not possible AFAIK?

slender yarrow
sour shadow
#

Then you get to upgrade

#

So, you need to be on that, or later

slender yarrow
warm totem
# sinful swift See the 6th pinned post.

Thanks. I just read the post. Can’t really say how to choose. I want a stable connection with a lot of supported devices. I am having some troubles understanding it all because of my lack of knowledge 😅

sinful swift
#

ZHA is slightly easier to set up than Zigbee2mqtt. Zigbee2mqtt keeps running while Home Assistant is restarting.

#

It's not hard to try both and see which you prefer.

sour shadow
#

My usual suggestion is that if you only use a single Home Assistant install and want something you can just forget about, use ZHA. If you want to use your mesh from multiple HA installs, or other software, want more flexibility, or otherwise like to fiddle with stuff then Zigbee2MQTT is the "better" solution

Hello! Seemingly after my update to 2021.11.0 this morning I can't seem to add any new devices with zha... I have tried four devices so far. 2 that needed to be readded and two brand new. Has anyone run into this?

nova karma
#

I'm on 2021.10.6, I have Innr SP 234 plugs with power monitoring. The manufacture confirmed that attribute "ac_power_divisor (id: 0x0605)" is incorrectly set to "10" instead of "1". I can see this attribute in cluster "ElectricalMeasurement" and GET ATTRIBUTE returns "10". I change the 10 to a 1 and click SET ATTRIBUTE but nothing changes. Clicking GET again still returns "10". I assume I'm doing something wrong.

I just installed two sengled zigbee bulbs but zha is saying they are end devices not routers. I thought all mains powered are routers

I need to find a Zigbee-based light for an alert system, does anyone know of a manufacturer that produces this?

Well....I guess your SOL. Im not sure of any zigbee "light" that does what you want. Which im still not sure what that is

#

When looking at the ZHA visualization, what do the numbers connecting the nodes mean? Is that the equivalent of signal strength?

fleet lodge
#

Yeah I really need one that is battery-powered but it would need to last for a longer duration. I'll keep looking.

left mist
#

I really dont think that exists tbh. It might have to be a crazy DIY solution with a big battery

Would be easy to make with esphome / tasmots and a single or multiple ws2812 leds

@jolly narwhal mains-powered?

jolly narwhal

Well... Yes, via USB on the wemos D1 mini

But could be battery bank powered

@austere patio - thanks for the link, was trying to figure out if they are read only or not. I'll see what I can do with the link you provided.

There's probably no defined constant for that attribute so you can make a custom cluster with _CONSTANT_ATTRIBUTES = {0x0605: 1} to override it

#

Did you just comment out those two lines? That should be enough

cloud pendant
#

i did. but added some debug now

austere patio
#

Is the hardware version different?

#

Because my dimmer is 96% updated and I changed only those two lines

cloud pendant
#

its the same on/off button, it was updated some days ago with ota.

#

im running via HA, it seems doing a "reload" on zigbee integeration makes it reload the code. but could you confirm thats enough @austere patio ?

austere patio
#

Not 100% sure, I always restart

cloud pendant
#

ok will try that

austere patio
#

Maybe you have to delete the __pycache__ folder or something

cloud pendant
#

restart core?

austere patio
#

That sounds right. My dimmer downgraded a major version from 2.something to 1.2.

cloud pendant
#

ok did seems to do the trick, because now i got a stracktrace because i tried adding debuging 🙂

#

restarting again and we will see

#

that worked, thanks @austere patio . pretty sure i read downgrades werent possible.. oh well

austere patio
#

It might be device dependent. At the end of the OTA process you'll see what the device decided to do with the image.

#

But so far 3 out of 3 IKEA devices downgraded for me

cloud pendant
#

just have to wait a billion hours 🙂

#

2.4%

austere patio
#

Click the buttons, it should speed it up

vestal atlas
#

why are you downgrading the ikea onoff? With the update it no longer broadcasts actions, it talks directly to the coordinator 👏

#

same with the shortcut button, and it even got a double press command

austere patio
#

Might have to create a config file with just frontend: in it to get the web UI to install and show up

smoky hornet
#

I will try that.

smoky hornet
austere patio
#

Yeah, if that runs the device is functional. Only thing I can think of is there being some RF problem. Or you're having bad luck joining stuff, but since you've previously done it with a Conbee I don't think that's the case.

Hello
I used to have the standard zigbee integration, basically with the lidl gateway (https://paulbanks.org/projects/lidl-zigbee/) and a sonoff zigbee and that worked. But then I switched to zigbee2mqtt and it doesn't see the sonoff anymore. Also, trying to add some xiaomi battery devices doesn't seem to work. I get something like device "Not supported." What is the issue here?

@austere patio it says there that downgrade is not possible with ota.
Do you happen to know if a ST-LINK will work for flashing? Seems it supports swd and I'm looking to buy one either way

I don't think so but you can reflash the ST-Link with different firmware (BMP?) to make it compatible with OpenOCD. I'd ask MattWestb over on that GitHub discussion, he's way more knowledgeable about this stuff.

So, I have the following item: https://zigbee.blakadder.com/Moes_ZS-SR4-2169.html I am usaing ZHA, and when I add the device, all it creates are 4 switch entties that do nothing (and a power entity) and NOTHING comes by listening to ZHA_EVENT events. Think someone can help me with this?

#

It apparently has been "confirmed" to work with ZHA... But it doesn't

uneven ruin
#

I'm assuming by "when I add the device" you tried more than once?

#

just wondering if it misidentified during pairing or something odd

neat anvil
#

Yes, I tried deleting it and re-adding it, I thought of that.

uneven ruin
#

very odd, I would expect it to be an event only type device jsut looking at it

neat anvil
#

Thats what my sonoff buttons are.. Thats how I knew about it.. But these show up differnt.. At least the one I paired did.. I could try and pair another and see what happens.

#

Second device did the same thing. I have 4 switches, and they do nothing when I press the buttons.

I have multiple zigbee devices, my question is specifically about a hue wall switch module. One of these is draining incredibly rapidly (installed yesterday, down to 20% today), it's the one marked as Kitchen 2G switch on the map. https://i.imgur.com/B5MS6Of.png What could be a reason for this device to drain so quickly?

neat anvil
#

@remote wagonAlthough I am not an expert specifically at Zigbee stuff, I can think of 2 things. First off, I have had a device report "funny" power remaining once. I just left it for a few days and it corrected itself. 2nd, perhaps it has a bad battery? If it does actually die and not repair itself, I would replace the battery and see if it drains again. That will tell you if its the device, or if you just had a faulty battery.

remote wagon
#

Cheers, I'll keep that in mind.

#

You might have no use for this, but the philips hue wall modules first required me to tell them what kind of button they were before they started sending events. Maybe something similar is going on with yours?

neat anvil
#

Maybe. How did you tell HA "What kind: of button it was?

remote wagon
#

I'm using z2m and its in the 'exposes' tab.

neat anvil
#

Ah, okay, I am using ZHA

remote wagon
#

Yeah, I'm not sure if there is something similar for that or why it appears (I assume the device exposes the config, hence the name.)

neat anvil
#

Well, as I have said, I don't know a lot about it. I have poked around a bit in settings, even tried clicking "Reconfigure device" in HA, but it seems to do nothing.

remote wagon
neat anvil
#

Yep, thats what I got.

remote wagon
#

Perhaps they use the same internals. That said, maybe looking for Tuys TS0044 ZHA posts can help out?

neat anvil
#

Unfortunatly the information seems to be well beyond my understanding.

remote wagon
#

I'm afraid I won't be much more help then. Perhaps someone with more ZHA experience can help you out.

neat anvil
#

I was hoping so, but they seem to be busy this evening, lol

#

Looks like I might need to upgrade my HA... I have been avoiding that for fear something will break. I am quite a few versions behind.

remote wagon
#

You could ask around for stuff to look out for in the general chats. But I've not had any issues.

#
  1. Make a backup.
#
  1. Try
#
  1. Recover or rejoice!
neat anvil
#

Thats the plan. Its running on a VM, so I will create a snapshot and upgrade a guess.. Any idea hwo long an upgrade usually takes?

remote wagon
#

I'm running what is (used to be?) called HassOS on the pi. Doing a HA only upgrade takes under ten minutes (much less but I didn't measure it)

#

Full updates of the OS (including underlying packages) will take longer.

neat anvil
#

Yea. The thing with information like "longer" is 1 hour is longer then 10 min.. 1 week is also longer then 10 min... Without this information I don't know when to stop everything and say "something is wrong."

remote wagon
#

How far behind are you?

#

That said, since I am heading to bed.

neat anvil
#

3 something I think... If that makes any sence

remote wagon
#

Is your VM running Hass OS?

neat anvil
#

Home Assistant 2021.3.4

#

And yea.

remote wagon
#

That's earlier this year.

#

You should really ask around in the core channels as we're going massively off-topic here. But for half a year's worth I'd go with less than an hour on a pi. So if your VM is well specced (and internet allows) start asking further questions after half an hour..

neat anvil
#

And should the OS be updates before the core? Or visa versa?

remote wagon
#

Pinged you in the hassOS channel to move it out of here :p

neat anvil
#

Apparently from what I am seing, it doesn't matter, lol

#

Thanks, but no one has said bo in there in hours.. Besides, updating the OS may fix my Zigbee issue... Meaning it is kinda related here.. Anyway, I have started upgrading, wish me luck.

sometimes random things get labelled as "xiaomi"

a more proper label would be Mijia which is similar to Tuya

Seem to have my temperature devices falling over every morning at around 6.30 am ... a HA restart required to get them working again. Any reason why this would be? Am running ZHA with a Sonoff Zigbee Bridge with Tasmota ...

I don't understand why restarting HA makes a difference. It's like they've failed some keepalive and don't bother to restart checking after some amount of time

#

Or maybe HA does some initialization on the conbee that restarts communication?

Anyone using the Terncy SD01 with deCONZ? I don't seem to get any state updates for them, just the event ids.

Is this the correct room to ask a Grafana question?

I thought I was there. Didn't realize I was in the zigbee channel

I'm running into an issue where most (but not all) of my Zigbee devices are showing 'unavailable' for their battery sensor only, while the rest of the device works as expected (door open/close, motion, etc). Seemed to have happed recently, tried rebooting everything HA, repeaters, reconfigure device, etc to no avail. Any thoughts on why a variety of sensors may have issues reporting battery state while rest of works as before? I'm on latest HA, using ZHA with Conbee II on Linux VM running HassOS.
