December update of what?

#

Tradfri firmware? Conbee firmware?

worthy atlas
#

I seem to have some issues with doing OTA updates in zigbee2Mqtt, trying to update an IKEA tradfri on/off it got stuck at 100% with 14sec remaining, after "hanging" for 10 hours i restarted the addon, no joy, i then stopped and unplugged/plugged the stick and restarted the addon, now it's stuck with "Remaining time N/A" and the "before update firmware number" in the list, any ideas ? (Z2M discord was a bit quiet:D )

jolly narwhal
#

No issues here, I've upgraded all my tradfri devices via z2m

#

Including the on off button

worthy atlas
#

so it's not a general thing... 😦

jolly narwhal
#

What firmware is it currently running?

worthy atlas
#

the on/off was/is running on 2.2.010

#

looks to be stuck in a state of updating even if there's not updates available, and it's working like it is running the updated firmware (binding to device instead of groups is available

{
"battery": 74,
"update": {
"state": "updating"
},
"update_available": false,
"action": "",
"click": null,
"linkquality": 174
}

jolly narwhal
worthy atlas
#

I cant post images, but it's saying 2.2.010 build date: 20190723

jolly narwhal
#

Yeah, the build date thing... Is off often

worthy atlas
jolly narwhal
#

Let me check if it has anything newer available for me

#

Failed to check if any updates are available

#

Oh, device didn't respond to OTA request, let me try to wake it

#

No update available even when awake

#

I tried changing to the non test ota url

#

Let's see if it changes at some point

worthy atlas
#

i ran with the test ota for a while but flipped it back to "mainstream" last week

#

had quite a few updates "pending"

jolly narwhal
#

Let's see what happens

#

It takes a while to refresh the updates I think

#

Oh yes, the updates are now flowing in

worthy atlas
#

let me know what comes of the first one πŸ™‚

jolly narwhal
#

Fails to poll it from that one

#

Updating a bulb currently

#

I'll update what I find

sterile sleet
#

is it safe to update?

fresh citrus
#

Hi! I ordered the Elelabs stick and just got it.
#zigbee-archived message

Just do double check. I first perform an update with ele_update to latest version. And after that i use flash to flash it with efr32mg13p-v8-6910-115200.gbl? Where can i find that gbl?

#

The repo contains these files.

./data/EFR32MG13/ELX0X3_MG13_6.7.0_ezsp_v8.gbl
./data/EFR32MG13/ELE_MG13_ot_rcp_115200_120_211116.gbl

ivory hound
#

If i remember correctly

#

give me a few minutes

#

I'll send stuff your way

fresh citrus
#

And just so i know, why would i want that firmware instead of the official one?

ivory hound
#

@fresh citrusso

#

first thing first

#

some guy helped me also with this when i was at the beginning so i want to say thanks again, he know who it is

#

second

#

you will need this

#

now to update it

fresh citrus
#

Yeah so pretty much what i've figured out. Just wanted to check, thanks man πŸ™‚

jolly narwhal
ivory hound
#

you will need first to sw from v6 to v8

jolly narwhal
fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

sudo python3 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility.py probe -p /dev/ttyUSB0

#

just to see if all ok

#

check things out

#

where /dev/ttyUSB0 was my path

#

yours might differ

fresh citrus
#

Yepp

ivory hound
#

ok to sw

fresh citrus
#

I have the command in front of me. So python3 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility.py ele_update -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -v zigbee

sterile sleet
# jolly narwhal Safe what

dunno, the guy before said he has issues with the new firmware? I don't quite get it, but can see updates for mine now too

ivory hound
#

sudo python3 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility.py ele_update -v v8 -p /dev/ttyUSB0

jolly narwhal
#

I've updated 10 bulbs so far

#

No issues yet

fresh citrus
sterile sleet
#

guess I will wait another day πŸ˜„

ivory hound
#

then after update is done

#

sudo python3 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility.py probe -p /dev/ttyUSB0

#

check again things

fresh citrus
#

Seems like it doesn't like the v8.

ivory hound
#

yah it might changed things

#

on updated version

fresh citrus
#

I'll try what it says in the instructions for starters.

ivory hound
#

try it your variant

#

i think maybe dev change it in latest versions

#

i did this in 2021 / 04

#

so most sure things changed a bit

fresh citrus
#

Yeah, it worked. It's a newer version and also v8

ivory hound
#

now

#

to update to latest version

#

you need this file

#

efr32mg13p-v8-6910-115200.gbl

#

or if there is any newer, but i doubt it

fresh citrus
#

I'll try

ivory hound
#

the command should be sudo python3 Elelabs_EzspFwUtility.py flash -f data/efr32mg13p-v8-6910-115200.gbl -p /dev/ttyUSB0

#

if is not changed

#

i have my file in data folder

#

from there this path data/efr32mg13p-v8-6910-115200.gbl

fresh citrus
#

Nope,

legit

#

now you need just some custom settings for ha

i'll give this to you also

#

in config of ha

yes

#

i'll give you one more explicit and complete config

#

but i have to put it ion paste bin

#

one sec

#

enjoy

#

and welcome to community

#

my advice look in pined messages

fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

i put there a way to scan and see what is the best channel for your zigbee network

#

is better to start right from the time you form your network

fresh citrus
#

Yepp.

copper rain
#

Does anyone know why when I change zigbee2mqtt/configuration.yaml the changes are reset on restart?

sour shadow
#

I don't remember TBH, I gave up fighting or recommending it ages ago

sour shadow
fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

@fresh citrusdon't stress man

#

ubuntu ppl broke my paste

#

@sour shadow you can remove that pin

#

i'll do another

sour shadow
#

The Zigpy docs have details of doing it now anyway

copper rain
sour shadow
#

I've seen others report that problem, no idea what it's doing

fresh citrus
raven jewel
raven jewel
ivory hound
#

you can pin this

sour shadow
fresh citrus
fresh citrus
#

But since i have like 90 devices connected right now the scan might show differently if i disconnect them?

ivory hound
#

ofc

#

ha needs to be down

#

you are using zigbee.db

#

nothing should be using your coordinator when you do the scan

#

since you rise a docker container that will use it

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i'll do that on my laptop. But maybe just shutdown HA anyway

ivory hound
#

you need to shutdown ha and everyhing that uses your coordinator from where you scan and your zigbee.db

fresh citrus
#

Yeah

ivory hound
#

but what i dont understand

sour shadow
#

Or buy a second coordinator

fresh citrus
#

I have one. Just bought the Elelabs. Replacing my ConBee II

ivory hound
#

is how you have 90 devices on a coordinator that you just updated (elu13 one)

#

or ha is still conected with conbee

#

?

fresh citrus
#

I will replace the ConBee II with the Elelabs stick.

#

Since i've had issues with the ConBee II stick

ivory hound
#

yah well my advice start from scratch do not use that network that you have

fresh citrus
#

That's the plan yeah.

ivory hound
#

good man

fresh citrus
#

But just so i understand it correctly. The scan bellows -b 115200 scan -e shows all the channels and "-50" etc. Higher number is better right? -97 is great?

ivory hound
#

yes

#

-97 is the weaker signal

#

so more the signal on a channel is weaker is better

copper rain
ivory hound
#

if you have strong signal on 15 for example and week on 25 then you prefer 25

fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

because

#

it actually measure what is there already

#

if some stuff is there with strong signal

#

you do not want to for your network on that channel

#

you understand?

fresh citrus
#

Yepp.

ivory hound
#

also do multiple scans, it changes πŸ˜„

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i'll run around the house for a while and scan.

#

Thanks a lot for you help!

ivory hound
#

anytime man, i am glad i could give back

#

Walt_H helped me when i was at the beginning

fresh citrus
#

I've used HA for a few years but it's now recently when getting more Zigbee devices it started to drop and bulbs etc not answering. Hopefully the new stick will help.

ivory hound
#

you might need more routers

#

or one of your neighbors decided to play on 2.4 GHz

#

this is the worst thing about zigbee

#

it's on 2.4 GHz

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i know. I have a bunch of bulbs, pretty much everywhere so they route the other stuff.

ivory hound
#

u have ikea?

#

bulbs

#

i am asking because some of them and not only ikea have a bug where they stop routing (they freeze at one point, they still work ok but they do not route)

#

that means for you all devices routed trough that router stops responding until you power cycle the affected router

#

i pretty much changed all my bulbs to ledvance

#

removed all old osram and ikea

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i have only IKEA bulbs

#

And sometimes i have to power cycle them. Hope that would be solved by firmware updates though

#

And it seems like channel 25 is best for me

#

So i should change channel to 25. Should i leave the "channels" as is?

    network:
    channel: 15 # What channel from the mask the radio should try to use.
    channels: [15, 20, 25] # Channel mask to distribute to end devices.
fresh citrus
#

So bellows -b 115200 form -c 25 -D /data/zigbee.db seems to take a while? Or should it be more or less instant?

#

@ivory hound When you're back, did you remember having any issues with it?

ivory hound
#

did not have any issues with it

#

but i was just forming the network

#

had nothing in it

#

except coordinator

fresh citrus
#

How can i do that without a DB?

#

Since i need to specify it?

ivory hound
#

look on bellows github

#

i am sure it's all there

fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

my idea is this

#

stop ha

#

in fact no

#

it involves you to backup your network and stuff

fresh citrus
#

I don't care about the Zigbee network though

ivory hound
#

the best way is to do this when you want to change your coordonator from conbee to the new one

#

so when you decide you want to move from one to the other

#

do this

#

remove zha integration

fresh citrus
#

I'm there right now. And that's done.

ivory hound
#

remove all traces of conf

#

shutdown ha

fresh citrus
#

Also done

ivory hound
#

then

#

remove conbee stick

fresh citrus
#

I'm trying to get the stick to join channel 25. I don't have bellows in my HA.

ivory hound
#

then remove zigbee.db from ha conf dir

fresh citrus
# 
bellows -b 115200 form -c 25
Usage: bellows form [OPTIONS]
Try 'bellows form --help' for help.

Error: Invalid value for '-D' / '--database': File '/root/.config/bellows/app.db' does not exist.
ivory hound
#

now we are in the state where ha is stopped and also all traces of zha are gone

fresh citrus
#

It wants the DB. I cant join without DB.

ivory hound
#

then pit in the new coordinator

#

setup zha with my conf

#

zigbee.db should appear again

#

at this point you have zha setup and ha running with nothing except coordinator in zgibee db

#

then stop ha

#

then you do bellows stuff

#

but your problem seem to be the path to where zigbee.db is

#

Error: Invalid value for '-D' / '--database': File '/root/.config/bellows/app.db' does not exist.

#

ofc does not exist

fresh citrus
#

I mean i don't have bellows in HA. I need to do it on another machine

ivory hound
#

you should use path to zigbee.db that is in your ha conf dir

#

fallow all the steps i said it will work

fresh citrus
#

Then where should i run bellows?

ivory hound
#

do not matter

#

run the commands on the same machine where you have ha

#

run the command from the folder where bellows is

fresh citrus
#

I have the HA Blue. i dont have docker/bellow there. I need to move it to my laptop

ivory hound
#

make sure to put the correct path to zigbee.db

fresh citrus
#

So i need to move the zigbee.db in that case.

ivory hound
#

see this is the problem

#

yes

#

do not get zigbee.db is ha is running

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i know. I'm making a backup of HA first. It'll take some time. But right now i've removed old ZHA integration, removed Conbee stick. Removed integration. Currently backing up.

#

And zigbee.db doesn't exist.

fresh citrus
#

Maybe an error in the config. Let me check

ivory hound
#

one sec

#

one the network

austere patio
# fresh citrus And zigbee.db doesn't exist.

It's not necessary for the formation command, I'm not too sure why it asks for it. If it ran earlier but got "stuck", it probably worked. Can you run bellows -d /dev/... info to see what the logical channel is for your network?

ivory hound
#

part

#

remove all except this:

# 
    network:
      channel: 25             # What channel from the mask the radio should try to use.
#

ofc use whatever channel you want

#

or remove it

#

and you set the channel after

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i had those two on the same column. Not it worked πŸ™‚

#

So now i'll copy the zibgee.db to my laptop and plugin my stick and in the docker try to join channel 25

ivory hound
#

again

#

i can not stress this enough

#

do not copy/move zigbee.db while ha is started

fresh citrus
#

Got it. I'm disabling the ZHA integration and see how i can stop the HA core

ivory hound
#

not sure diable is a way

#

i dont have much experience with ha on hasos

#

for me docker containers are the way to go

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i stopped core.

ivory hound
#

tbh for me that thing is a mistery

#

i am guessing is a service

#

this core

#

on hasos

fresh citrus
ivory hound
#

eee

#

gj

#

now scan for channels

#

see what is best

fresh citrus
#

I've done that already

ivory hound
#

and

fresh citrus
#

Yes, i want to join 25....

#

But again, it doesn't work.

ivory hound
#

do the command for leaving

#

and joining new channel

#

again you have to do this agains the db

fresh citrus
#

I am

ivory hound
#

and then move this new db back on your ha host

fresh citrus
#

Yes

#

But this command bellows -b 115200 form -c 25 -D /data/zigbee.db hangs, no output.

#

But info now gives me radioChannel=25

#

So i guess it worked anyway (i cancelled the command)

#

So DB moved back, stick plugged back in and core started.

#

Sooo, it seems to work. Is there any other place to see the channel except for bellows so i can verify it's the correct one?

ivory hound
#

maybe on coordinator on zha

#

if you click

#

i dont have zha from long time

#

maybe somebody else can help here

austere patio
fresh citrus
austere patio
#

Hopefully in the near future this process will become slightly less painful

fresh citrus
#

Haha, yeah i hope i don't have to do this again.

austere patio
#

While it's possible to migrate from the Conbee straight to your Elelabs/EZSP radio and keep your devices, it's something that can only be done once for your target radio so it's probably better to re-join your devices on a better channel.

fresh citrus
#

Yeah i've heard several people say that. It's a lot of work but what the hell. I'll redo it. First bulb paired now and that seems to work.

ivory hound
#

hopefully you only do it once and hey the next guy that need help will give you a shout πŸ˜„

fresh citrus
#

Maybe :D. Again, huge thanks for your effort. Appreciate it!

ivory hound
#

any time man

fresh citrus
#

No groups are created though. Wonder if that's a ZHA thing, probably. Worked before though.

swift wagon
#

I'm a n00b troubleshooting a zigbee bulb from Innr that decided to stop working. I manually put the bulb in pairing mode but I cannot get it to reconnect. I'm using ZHA, docker container, and my USB zigbee stick is described as "ZNP = Texas Instruments Z-Stack" in Home Assistant. I'd like to share the logs to see if anyone can help me troubleshoot. What's the preferred way for sharing logs in this group?

@worthy atlas just started the update, says 90 minutes left

lime locust
#

cc2652p2 <-- the p means 20dbm gain , is this on by default in z2m , or do i need to set this ?

jolly narwhal
#

More gain != Better

sour shadow
#

You need the right firmware, and to set it

jolly narwhal
#

It defaulted to 5 in the past and 9 now I believe

#

And if you understand desibel, that is a huge difference

lime locust
#

right , there used to be a setting in the webinterface z2m , is it removed ?

sour shadow
#

Do update the firmware first

jolly narwhal
#

And do get more routers instead

lime locust
#

so setting it to 20 is safe , wont need extra cooling etc .. ?

sour shadow
#

Depends on the stick you have, and the firmware

jolly narwhal
#

I see no reason anyone would need to set it to 20

sour shadow
#

Worst case it catches fire

jolly narwhal

Active mode RX: 6.9 mA
Active mode TX 0 dBm: 7.3 mA
Active mode TX 5 dBm: 9.6 mA
Active mode TX at +10 dBm: 22 mA
Active mode TX at +20 dBm: 85 mA

lime locust
#

more gain means more range thats alway a good thing right

jolly narwhal
#

No

austere patio
#

It applies only in one direction

sour shadow
#

Just because you can use a megaphone to be heard by your friends, doesn't mean you can hear them whisper back to you

#

Same reason so many people buy long range WiFi access points, and then are surprised_pikachu when it turns out it doesn't solve their range issues

jolly narwhal
#

Did you say 1200ft cat5e Poe?

austere patio
#

I also have a theory that having extremely high TX power may actually degrade performance for new devices joining the mesh, since they pick the coordinator as their parent due to the LQI being high in one direction, but the coordinator won't actually hear the device any better

jolly narwhal
#

Feedback is a thing yes

austere patio
#

Not sure if devices try joining a network multiple times, cycling through potential parents

sour shadow
#

I know Xiaomi just pair via the first thing that responds

#

I won't be surprised if many other devices do that, or join via the strongest signal

#

So, as you said, a loud coordinator just gives you a crap mesh

austere patio
#

In theory it might be good for broadcast/multicast

#

But those packets make up only a small portion of network traffic

sour shadow
#

I can see that a moderate increase could help in some situations, like where you've got relatively little interference and the coordinator is sufficiently sensitive

lime locust
#

there a way to see what dbm is being used , or does the 2652 just defaults to 9

sour shadow
sterile sleet
#

can i set a router device to not accept node connections? using z2m
I have a power plug which gets power cut sometimes, don't want any other nodes connected through it

I have ordered myself a conbee2 stick and wanted to use it with deconz on my home assistant server. Now i heard that the conbee2 stick maybe is not the best solution, why is that? Is there some literature around where i can read something about it liek the pros and cons

rapid skiff
#

Is there such thing as a lux sensor that can keep a room brightness consistent with outdoor lighting? For example dim the lights when the sun is bright

sour shadow
#

Not by itself, no

jolly python
#

I think you can write yourself an automation for that and use something like the aquara motion sensor

sour shadow
#

Well, not that one, that's crap for light

#

The Xiaomi light sensor is pretty good, as are the Hue motion sensor, and the Develco multi-sensor

I just switched to an Elelabs stick and repairing everything. New ZHA groups etc etc.
It seems like the groups are not created in HA. Even though the logs say they are.

Didn't know if it needed a hub

sour shadow
#

Zigbee needs a coordinator, of some form

rapid skiff
#

Yeah but besides that

sour shadow
#

Which Zigbee integration are you using?

#

ZHA? Zigbee2MQTT? ||deCONZ||?

rapid skiff
#

Going to use zigbee2mqtt on a unraid docker

#

Nothing yet

#

Then you can browse the list of supported hardware and blow your mind

rapid skiff

So that entire list works directly with a coordinator?

Well, yes, but no

I get my cheap coordinator on thursday for testing

torn saffron
#

Hi everyone. I’m considering putting my Nuc which the coordinator is attached to in my network room (to be built so can’t test now), which is in the corner of the house. It should still have routers near it but now there will be more walls separating them, is that expected to have a major impact? (Zigbee)

sour shadow
#

It'll have some impact

#

If you have a normal sized house, probably not a big one

torn saffron
#

Decently sized. Hm. The only reason I’m planning on doing a network room is the noisy UPS I got. More devices, more problems. But that’s offtopic I guess.

Did anyone say noisy network room

Mine lives in the corner, no real issues here, but then the far end of the house is only 2 or 3 hops

Latest update from koenkk 1h ago

#

Think it is the same

#

Which leads to

This is the same issue as #10666 , currently working on a fix there.

Note that this is a bug on the z2m side, if the progress is 100 the device updated succesfully.
Current workaround:

stop z2m
remove the update state in data/state.json
start z2m
If your button doesn't send any events anymore, click the yellow reconfigure button in the frontend, just before that make sure to wakeup the device by pressing a button on it.

deCONZ is what i use to install zigbee right

I have the Nortek USB stick and I'm setting Z-wave and zigbee up . just wanted to make sure i had the right app

That doesn't sound right

deCONZ can't use that stick

ZHA now, that could

That's the only add-on it shows is deCONZ, the Nortek USB is capable of running on both zwave and zigbee

Right, but why are you looking for an add-on?

Why not just use ZHA?

Hello there. Im in the process of switching from a tradfri zigbee bridge to ZHA and have a few questions, this looks like the right place to ask:

  1. with the tradfri system i could assign lamps to a remote to have them controlled by it even when the bridge was down. Is there any way to emulate this behaviour with ZHA?
  2. I have a fixture with multiple bulbs, organised in a light group and automation set up to control them via a remote. The call service option for the light group only gives me an option for setting the light temperature but none to incrementally change it, any advice on how to do that?
  3. is there a way to turn the tradfri bridge into a router?
    I only switched to Home Assistant from OpenHab recently, so please excuse if I'm not up to speed on everything.
mellow geode
# hexed cipher Hello there. Im in the process of switching from a tradfri zigbee bridge to ZHA ...
  1. You can bind a remote directly to a lamp. Recently, IKEA broke group binding with the latest firmware though. Binding a remote to a single light still works. (Should als work if you bind a remote to multiple lights without using a group. Might get laggy/weird with on/off behavior though. I just ended up using HA for basically every remote. Only a couple of on/off switches are still directly bound each to one lamp.)
  2. There are some blueprints/scripts (or maybe even blueprints that could do that). You'll probably have to search a bit (maybe HA forums). (Looks like "Light Hook" can do it: https://community.home-assistant.io/t/light-hook-control-any-light-rgb-color-temp-brightness-with-one-of-the-supported-controllers/286443. You could try to extract the relevant parts of the scripts if you don't want to use the whole blueprint. But there might be better code snippets for that)
  3. No
hexed cipher
#

thanks

hexed cipher
#

the Light Hook thing looks pretty much like exactly what i need, thanks

mellow geode
#

Yeah, ZHA has a UI for that. I can't find any proper guides immediately. But you would want to go to: Settings -> Integrations -> ZHA -> Configure -> Devices -> select remote -> Manage Clusters. (some things might be named differently)

hexed cipher
#

ah, ok

#

ive been in the clusters screen, didnt know what it was for though

mellow geode
#

Under "Device Binding", you can bind the remote to a single light. Select the light, press bind and then immediately press any button on the remote to wake it up (so it can receive the command). That remote should be bound to the light now.

#

It's similar for group binding. There, you also need to select the clusters which you want to bind. (Probably OnOff/LevelControl/Scenes (maybe Groups/LightLink too))

#

(But group binding seems to be broken in the latest firmware for IKEA remotes)

hexed cipher
#

The binding thing worked, thanks

Hey folks, I have a CC2531 with an older Z-Stack firmware. I want to update it to the most recent without the use of a CCDebugger. I came across this article here of how to accomplish such a reflash. Has anyone tried this and is this still a working procedure, given that this was written a few years back? Thanks! https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/320

austere patio
#

Works fine

#

Though very few people use it

bleak cave
#

That was quick! And from the master himself -- thanks puddly! πŸ™‚

#

Most people use a CCDebugger I suppose?

austere patio
#

This method isn't in the Z2M documentation so it's not really something people know about. It's also not as "low-level", so you can't fully erase a CC2531 with it. Make sure to erase NVRAM when moving between releases (e.g. Z-Stack 1 -> 3, though you shouldn't do that to begin with)

bleak cave
#

Thanks -- yeah, with that old device, I'll stick with the 1.2 firmware of course πŸ™‚

#

Am I correct in assuming that your zigpy.znp tools (flash_write) would accomplish the same?

austere patio
#

Yeah, those work the same way as the Windows utility

jolly python

is it a good idea to use the conbee 2 with ZHA or are there problems to expect?

jolly narwhal
#

Mixed user reports

#

We have a dozen or so users every week show up with "lol my ZigBee doesn't work great" running Conbee, but they also usually have 0 routers

#

Users Shrug

jolly python
#

With routers you mean devices like zigbee plugs?

jolly narwhal
#

Or bulbs

#

Or other router capable devices

jolly python
#

Okay, i have dozens of routers then, coming from a hue system with 23 Bulbs/plugs. More plugs coming. Would it be difficult to change the stick afterwards, besides the act of the need of the new pairing of the devices? I have a conbee 2 stick ordered and its allready here but not opened so i'm questioning myself if i should send it back or if i could start with it

jolly narwhal
#

Migrating should be possible, but I've never done it

obsidian sandalBOT
#

Buy something CC2652 based. This list is a good one, both Tube and Electrolama have been proven to have excellent customer service. The current generation of EZSP sticks (see here for some) are also a good choice for ZHA.

Anything CC2530 or CC2531 based should be avoided - they're old, slow, and only suitable for a dozen or so devices. The Sonoff ZBbridge isn't advised since it uses WiFi (built in interference causing stability/reliability issues), and the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset so should be avoided.

Finally, the ConBee range are fine with deCONZ, but experience with ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT appears to be mixed.

Command '.pickyourstick' was invoked by: atxbyea
jolly python
#

Isn't zigbee2mqtt something else than ZHA?

jolly narwhal
#

Yes

#

It is what I would recommend

jolly python
#

So if i want to keep the conbee 2 i should use deconz elsewise i should get an other stick. And using deconz isn't the best idea because of the amount of included modules

jolly narwhal
#

Yes

jolly python
#

So a good start would be the zzh Multiprotocol RF Stick with CC2652R1 or are there any downsides with it?

I currently use that one, it is great

#

I'm switching to a Poe coordinator from tube

To get rid of the pi

jolly python
#

I have a hp elitedesk server on which home assistant os runs inside a virtual machine on linux, it wouldnt be a problem to run the stick on a usb port of it (with use of a usb2.0 extension of course)?

jolly narwhal
#

Probably not

sour shadow
#

Should be no issues at all

jolly python
#

why couldnt you run your zigbee stick directly on a usb port of the host where home assistant runs?

jolly narwhal
#

Because I don't run haos

#

Or zha

jolly python
#

ok so zigbe2mqtt it is

jolly narwhal
#

Decoupling smart

#

My ha container can run anywhere and still have access to everything else it needs on my network

#

Including zigbee2mqtt that can run anywhere

sour shadow
#

Direct in the port introduces RF noise issues, on a USB extension cable avoids those, and tends to put the stick where it gets better connectivity

#

shipping from Great Britain, oof

Then buy one of the other options shrug

Or buy it from somewhere else. My Sonoff stick from iTead came from China

Hi fellow nerds!
I got my new zigbeestick today, slaehs CC2652R. Gonna migrate from ZHA to Z2M and move my devices from Conbee I.
Is there any config in HA that I should save before starting? I mean I'll need to repair everything, but is there and need for saving the network key or anything? Dont have any locks or stuff like that, but might as well ask.

sour shadow
#

Nothing to save, no

jolly narwhal
#

How many devices?

jolly narwhal
#

Is joining enabled in zigbee2mqtt?

#

Then just turn the bulb off and on five times and leave it on the sixth time

#

Or if it is totally new you just turn it on

#

Yes

sour shadow
#

You may still need to do the reset dance

jolly narwhal
#

It is a bit misleading in the tradfri

#

If you do on off one time too many

#

It will still blink

#

But not join

sour shadow
#

Reset the device so it goes into pairing mode

jolly narwhal
#

No

sour shadow
#

Exactly X times

jolly narwhal
#

Exactly the right amount

sour shadow

My experience is at least that if you do it one time to many it will fail

if i check for update again, no more updates are offer

what am I missing

?

lilac wharf

Probably a frontend bug

jolly narwhal

You can try repairing one

See if it does a new interview

i did not try but i have some old ones that when i've updated had the same problem, i think i've re paired them and now they do show new version

#

no idea what is going on there but i'll test with a re pair, even tho i am pretty sure after a rejoin will show the correct version

#

what i tried was reconfigure (which i have no idea still what it does) and did not work, i mean it said reconfigured successfully but same old fw version displayed

prisma shell
#

has anything changed with zigbee in the last couple updates?

#

my ikea buttons are killing the battery in under 24h, and i've tried 2 different brands

Sounds like poor coverage / too few routers

#

@prisma shellwhat else did you change in this last days?

did you move them in other location

nothing

#

i've updated tasmota and HA

now we are getting somewhere

months. i tried reconfiguring and repairing the buttons as well

ivory hound
#

maybe is something in this ZHA relase

#

try older version?

yeah guess i'll have to

my guess is when you updated ha / implicit ZHA also introduced some bug or so

Hi, I'm back with my "Friends Of Hue" issues.
i'm using z2m with conbee ii and have another conbee ii with wireshark to debug the communication.
when i press buttons on my ZGP switches (enocean PTM 215Z), i always get "some messages" (usually 2-3 per press or release) from the switch, but in many cases they don't seem to get relayed by my routers and mostly they don't reach zigbee2mqtt

#

does anyone have an idea how i can further debug the ZGP communication?

austere patio
#

You're not seeing the encapsulated ZGP frame being sent by routers after they pick up the ZGP frame sent by your switch?

silk sphinx
#

@austere patio i'm not 100% sure because the network is quite busy. i always pick up the ZGP messages.
https://imgur.com/Jjf6m7V

#

the first one is the ZGP message and the broadcast messages afterwards are coming from different hue devices and presumably relay the picked up ZGP message?

sterile sleet
#

I see >20min ota updates with z2m, is this the norm?

silk sphinx
#

@sterile sleet yes, i'm updating a hue power outlet for 20 minutes already. my record was > 1,5 hours πŸ˜„

sterile sleet
#

ok, then I will do updates for the next 2 days
I remember it beign 5 minutes in zha

silk sphinx
#

@austere patio when i don't see events in zigpee2mqtt, there are no broadcast messages following the ZGP message, so I'm pretty sure that's related. is that a problem of the hue devices themselves or does the coordinator have an influence on their ZGP proxy functionality

austere patio
#

I'm not too familiar with ZGP but I think the coordinator may not make a difference. The Conbee's protocol doesn't explicitly say anything about ZGP so I think the stick itself cannot be a ZGP proxy (sink?) but other routers can

jolly narwhal
silk sphinx
#

i think the conbee somewhat supports zgp routing, but i have plenty of hue routers around

jolly narwhal
#

I do 4-8 in parallel

austere patio
silk sphinx
#

not sure if that would also apply to z2m, i'm not using deconz because the device support and stability wasn't great

#

i need to find out what the packages look like routers are sending to relay ZGP messages

austere patio
#

They'll be destined for endpoint 242, you should be able to filter traffic that way

cedar portal
#

Is it possible for me to test out the Zigbee2MQTT add-on while not losing my ZHA configs? Meaning, can I disable ZHA and then try out some stuff with Z2M and if I hate it, re-enable ZHA and not have to rediscover every single device again?

austere patio
#

Z2M will erase your network settings

#

What coordinator are you using?

hexed cipher
cedar portal
#

HUSBZB-1

#

Could I utilize backups or snapshots to restore ZHA? Or does Z2M/ZHA store information in the devices/coordinator themselves somehow?

austere patio
#

I'm actually not too sure how Z2M handles the HUSBZB-1's network state. Let me double check with mine.

austere patio
#

Yeah, Leaving current network and forming new network. You'll have to do a backup with the bellows utility.

this is from the z2m log.
for a ZGP device, would endpoint always be the coordinator or is it the router that first translated the ZGP message?

@mystic copper I went up to the attic next to the conbee coordinator and the buttons work there every time. So my hue devices are not relaying messages 😩

Had I known how annoying ZGP is I wouldn't have bought 25 switches πŸ˜’

austere patio
#

That's odd. I don't know what Z2M shows but do they have an endpoint with ID 242? I would have thought hue stuff would work with other hue stuff.

The endpoint on the zgp devices or for the hue devices?

My hue bulbs have endpoint 242 > output clusters > green power
The switches all just have endpoint 242

If flashing my new Sonoff zigbee-adapter, do I need to flash both coordinator and router for usage in Z2M?

If you want to use it as a coordinator, flash the coordinator firmware; if you want to use it as a router, flash the router firmware

junior viper
#

What is the best use case to replace a Conbee stick? Coordinator?

lilac wharf
#

You need a coordinator to have a zigbee network, so if you're replacing your Conbee with the Sonoff stick then yes, flash the coordinator firmware

Ok, thx. Seems to be pre-flashed ootb, since I could add it through ZHA

lilac wharf

It is, but upgrading the firmware is a good idea

junior viper
#

Allright, I'll try. 502 Bad gateway in Z2M though, so I'll try an upgrade

@junior viper why do you want to replace the conbee?

#

@junior viper check the protocol, most likely z2m has a configuration problem

junior viper

#

@junior viper i use a conbee as well and overall I'm quite satisfied, very reliable even with over 60 devices.

My initial fault was that I didn't use z2m groups and instead tried to /set 10 bulbs at once for example

junior viper

Deconz/ZHA is great, but I encountered long latencies in notifications (not sure if it's related to ZHA/Deconz, but Z2M notifies instantly as for my water leak sensors for example)

I'm back with another Zigbee question. I'm running HA OS on a VirtualBox VM on a Win10 host. I am able to pass the Zigbee stick through to the VM, which sees it on COM1. I can get everything to work (HA OS discovers deCONZ with a valid IP, Phoscon works and accepts the IP and port to open the gateway to the VM). What I cannot get to work is creation of an actual network. deCONZ on PC reFUses to recognize the Conbee so I cannot get the network to materialize. Hence, my sensors are in the wilderness. I assume I'm doing (or not doing) something basic. Can anyone suggest a troubleshooting path? I'm about to tear out what's left of my hair!

Hello I am hoping someone can help me. My issue is with the ikea tradfri remote buttons. It has the five buttons; up,down,left,right and center. I have paired with a tubes cc2652p2 poe coordinator integrated into home assistant using zha. My problem the battery life doesn’t last very long. That battery can last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 days. Is anyone else having this issue and if so have you found the solution please.

Anyone wanna share their configuration.yaml for Z2M using Sonoff as a coordinator?

Generally speaking battery life issues are caused by interference or a weak signal

#

So, how many routers do you have, and are there anyone close to said switch?

What's the cabinet made of?

#

If the answer is either metal or wood then that's a terrible idea

#

You should put the stick on a USB extension cord (good idea anyway) and move it outside the cabinet

Hey everyone.
I can see on the zigbee2mqtt github some people have the same issue, but there is not fix yet?
My CC2531 running zigbee2mqtt just stopped working this afternoon.

violet dagger
#

he fix is to unplug it then plug it back in again

sour shadow
#

The real fix is to buy a proper coordinator

It is a usb stick, that sometimes does what it is supposed to do, mostly it just rolls over and plays dead

sour shadow
#

It's ok, they just assumed I was replying to them, when I wasn't

earnest scarab
#

So It works for me again.

  1. I stopped zigbee2mqtt
  2. Unplugged my dongle
  3. Restarted Home Assistant
  4. Plugged in my dongle
  5. It just worked!
#

@junior viper and everyone Else

jolly narwhal
#

Now order a usable coordinator

#

Before you forget it

earnest scarab
#

Yeah, I Will do that. Probably the sonoff plus v3. I have been using the cc2531 for one and a half year now without many problems with 31 devices. Sometimes it did hang on though.

#

May as well stop using the public network key and EPID

#

If you're starting from scratch

jolly narwhal

And do channel scanning

junior viper

I did, but my goal is to restore my backup from last night

You're migrating from a CC2531?

junior viper
#

ConBee II

#

Not even sure it will work

#

Worth a shot instead of repairing 150+ devices

austere patio
#

Gotta double check if Z2M still complains about network settings

#

Z2M will write the same general network settings to both sticks (unless you change the PAN ID) but the frame counter will roll back, which causes problems with some devices. The above approach does a complete backup of all settings.

junior viper
#

Ok so first things first, put back my old dongle, perform a full backup? Follow these steps you sent - profit

I've solved most of my problem with deCONZ. Changing the channel mask to '15' took a ridiculously long time, but it did enable me to establish a network and add the few Zigbee devices I currently have. I have a few more questions: (1) Must the deCONZ app remain operating on my desktop for the ZIgbee network to operate? I can't tell, with my limited knowledge, whether the app is just a nice interface...or is it more than that? (2) Same question for the Phocon web browser app. Does everything stop working, if I stop the webapp? This one looks like a front end config tool, but I'm afraid to shut it down. Based on this experience, I think I'll limit my exposure to Zigbee, in favor or ZWave and other approaches.

austere patio
#

The Conbee works with both ZHA and Z2M so if you don't like the deCONZ approach, try them out

I have a question with my Sonoff mini switch on deCONZ Addon using Conbee II zigbee gateway. The device is added and I can see it in Phoscon UI and I see the deCONZ log device action (button 100x for short and double click). Unfortunately I don't see the "state" entity in HA entity. The device tab only shows the battery level for the switch. Is there something I'm missing?

Wil that let me select pixels, too?

#

I had an idea of putting a small (maybe 20 led) strip inside a picture frame with some text on it and having them light up based on statuses, not a dashboard mounting per say, but a simple green/red/amber system

violet dagger
#

wled is the way

#

tasmota or esphome can do that too since you don't need fancy effects

vestal atlas
#

Yes, just google/youtube WLED. It's made for your pruopose πŸ™‚

uncut compass
#

I have been reading and youtubing, but they all seem to be christmas lights and how to do the effects, (rainbow, fireworks etc).

My use case is a little niche in the sense of:

<led1> - if door open, green, else red
<led2> - if bread home, green, else red
<led3> - if something, amber, else red

vestal atlas
#

You can do that too

violet dagger
#

wled might not be the best one for that

vestal atlas
#

Actually, maybe not indeed. It is possible but maybe overkill for it. But if you have a an ESP8266 or ESP32 you can choose to flash wled or esphome/tasmota on it

uncut compass
#

sec, I'm googling ESP8266

#

Hmm. Soldering required?

violet dagger
#

no

uncut compass
#

so flash, wled to that? πŸ˜•

#

I saw that actually

#

but I'd like it to be straight πŸ˜‚

violet dagger

or take any development board, doesn't matter for such a small number of LEDs

#

well, looks like I'm reading a lot today

violet dagger
#

or creative wiring πŸ˜‰

yeah, maybe I'll setup my first wled as a test and then try out this esp stuff

you need an esp to setup wled to test

#

how well does the zigbee2mqtt handle stuff like energy consumption on light devices like SR-ZG2835RAC-S ?

#

because i got one light that should report power but does not seem to

jolly narwhal
#

A light that reports power?

#

What in tarnation

short elm
#

it should report power usage but it does not

ashen coral
#

wled does that...

short elm
#

not with zigbee2mqtt addon atleast

jolly narwhal
#

Oh

#

That's a dimmer

#

Not a light

#

Then it makes sense

ashen coral
jolly narwhal
#

It should

ashen coral
#

Yes. Should

violet dagger
#

but this one is -S

#

sunricher likes to make it confusing with model names

short elm
#

there is others avaible aswell withot the -s

#

the reason im asking is i got another dimmer, same one but one is z-wave and other is zigbee, in z-wave it reports power propperly but the zigbee one does not

violet dagger
#

its not the same then

short elm
#

this is the zigbee dimmer that does not report

#

but the zwave one does

#

so i was wondering if it was a common thing before i buy more zigbee devices

jolly narwhal
#

Yeah that is a totally different product

violet dagger
#

depends on the device as you've already noticed

short elm
#

had forgotten about the zigbee2mqtt devices page πŸ˜„

#

guess all i need is in there

violet dagger
#

not all but plenty of information is there

ashen coral
#

Hey guys
I'm currently trying to setup Zigbee2mqtt with Node Red, which palette are you guys using? I'm having trouble getting it working

#

I can see in the logs for specific devices on the zigbee2mqtt homepage that events are firing when I click my hue dimmer switch, but when I try to listen for events in nodered nothing happens

nova flint
#

Hmm, I've actually got a spare hue bridge v2 lying around the house somewhere.. I know it's possible to gain root access on it with a little bit of soldering, but anyone know if I could actually set that up as a z2m host? πŸ˜„

#

Apparently it's running a custom-build of OpenWRT that can install OpenWrt Backfire packages, so it might be possible to build z2m as well. Then it'd just be a matter of getting the radio to work πŸ˜„

austere patio
nova flint
#

Aww

#

Might as well leave it be then

To continue on my previous question, it appears that as long as I don't rename my hue dimmers in zigbee2mqtt they keep working

I'm using zha and my devices and HA is having issues communicating with the stick. Is there any troubleshooting that I can do to see if this stick is dead or if theres something I am missing. I have not made any changes. None. I've restarted zha, restarted HA, restarted the OS, reseated the stick. Stick lights up. But doesn't seem to be responding. I can see the device in the usb list. It's recognized.

Looks like 95% of them fail with DELIVERY_FAILED but the firmware on your stick is too old to support the detailed counters that could shed more light on why it fails

suggestions?

Any new hardware nearby? Have you tried unplugging the coordinator?

new hardware such as a new machine or new stick? Yes I unplugged it and plugged back in.

what is the stick?

tropic depot
#

I'd say back up the network and update the firmware... thoughts @austere patio

#

?

#

that way we can get the counters

austere patio
#

Yeah, maybe the update will magically fix it

tropic depot
#

the backup is just to have it... the SI sticks maintain the network

so the update is non-destructive

#

so long as it goes well πŸ™‚

austere patio
#

Hard to tell when the only status is "failed"

tropic depot
#

agreed

lone flume
#

Is there a process documented on how to backup?

#

is it just a file in .storage?

austere patio
lone flume
#

I am, I'll take a look.

austere patio
#

Walt's page has a "Coordinator migration" section that shows the commands to run to take a backup

lone flume
#

So after scanning in the bash container via docker, theres no other step in that section. Only below it to update via python in another environment.

austere patio
#

The bellows backup > /data/bellows-backup.txt part

lone flume
#

Oh I meant flashing the new firmware.

#

I think once im in the container I can go down to the section where it shows how to flash it. If I'm reading this right.

#

./ncp.py flash -p /dev/ttyUSB1 -f ncp-uart-sw-6.7.8.ebl that

austere patio
#

That's the one. Did you run the backup beforehand?

lone flume
#

was just confusing on how it was documented. I will check the backup first.

#

ok, im upgraded.

austere patio
#

See if that alone fixes it. With the new firmware, you'll see more useful debug output so let ZHA run for a few minutes to collect it.

lone flume
#

on it.

lone flume
#

Also, not sure but the blue light on the stick doesn't blink. Can't remember if it ever did.

#

Just stays blue.

#

Latest counters

austere patio
#

Is your coordinator positioned in a place where all packets need to go through some router to get to it?

lone flume
#

no

#

and nothing has moved or changed

austere patio
#

Some devices have firmware bugs that cause them to "lock up" and require a hard reboot to start relaying packets again

#

If some central router in your setup is stuck in this state, it may be affecting everything relying on it

lone flume
#

oh you mean the router as in zigbee device that is acting as a router.

austere patio
#

Yes
