#

Yes... sadly.

austere patio
#

That's why

mighty river
#

Mine seems to work after a reboot?

#

Is conbee bad?

austere patio
#

The Conbee has some quirks

pine spire
#

It's at the bottom of the "recommended" list.

mighty river
#

Anything I should know?

#

I just set mine up hahaha

pine spire
#

What VM are you using?

mighty river
#

Proxmox

#

Vm is just some guide I found for haos

pine spire
#

So like, I've reset my HA after installation of <xxx> and now when I hit my buttons or move in front of the motion sensors I get mothing.

#

Yeah, I just install Proxmox too

mighty river
#

But did you transfer the vm from elsewhere?

austere patio
pine spire
#

No, I did a backup of the HAOS and restore to the new one

mighty river
#

Ah

pine spire
#

made sure the Z-Stick and Zigbee are seen in the same spots in HA, which they are.

mighty river
#

I think I am just going to use the proxmox backup. Not the ha

pine spire
#

Proxmox backup?

mighty river
#

Yeah. Just backup the whole vm haha

pine spire
#

oh, yeah... I didn't have it on Proxmox before, it was on Oracle Virtual Box and I had the hardest time getting the Conbee to pass through consistently.

mighty river
#

Could that be part of your issue?

pine spire
#

No, if I add a new device it starts to see everything again.

mighty river
#

How many devices do you have?

mighty river
pine spire
#

Not a whole lot, 20 - 25 maybe

polar helm
#

My experience so far is that it depends super on the sensor hardware. I have a TRV sensor branded by HAMA that works like clockwork, Temp/Hygrometer sensors made by sonoff that are literally trash (bought 2 - 1 broken power button and the other keeps losing the power because of the janky battery retention mechanism and it just doesnt connect back), 4 Tuya TS011F that are meh (sensibility at the lower end of power draw detection is bad - detects only above 10W or something, also come preflashed with tuya firmware that just straight destroyed the on/off sensor functionality)

pine spire
#

that's correct, after reboot, nothing works again

mighty river
#

Let me try rebooting mine

austere patio
#

Enable debug logging to see why. 95% of the time, it's because the Conbee isn't on a USB extension cable and in a good spot.

mighty river
#

Reboot the vm or the home assistant ?

pine spire
#

HA

mighty river
#

I had to use a keyboard with a built in usb hub as my extension hhaha

polar helm
#

haha

#

now that is some jank

mighty river
#

I coukdnt find a usb extension when setting it up lol.

polar helm
#

also USB 3 Ports seem to be a general problem for most zigbee sticks i read

mighty river
#

Rebooting the vm. Fingers crossed

pine spire
#

USB 3 ports you say?

mighty river
#

Mine is 2

#

I even disabled usb 3 in proxmox for it

pine spire
#

I think my port is USB 3. Lemme try moving it to USB 1/2

mighty river
#

Was it doing this before you changed host?

pine spire
#

Before I changed host, occasionally, but I would also have to remove the stick and add it back to the VM after reboot.

mighty river
#

Mine just took a few minutes for it all to connect

#

it did though

pine spire
#

Then again, it was on a USB 1/2 port before. The server I had it running on doesn't have USB3 ports.

#

I've had my VM up for about an hour and the devices still didn't connect.

mighty river
#

Yeah

#

Automations did not start though :/

pine spire
#

ok, I just switched the USB ports to forward the 2 sticks without USB3 support.

#

yeah, I'm using NodeRed for my automations and they aren't doing anything with the Zigbee devices.

#

If I use my Z-Wave motion sensor they work

mighty river
#

I would try resetting them up in the new vm and see if that fixes it tbh

#

I accidentally triggered my coffee grinder testing that. I guess I am having a coffee now.

pine spire
#

Well ain't that some shiz... I rebooted and everything connected after I move the Conbee stick from a USB3 to a USB1/2 port and told Proxmox to NOT use the USB 3 protocol

austere patio
#

I bet your debug log had a ton of MAC_CHANNEL_ACCESS_FAILURE errors

mighty river
#

What other weird issues does conbee have?

austere patio
#

Conbee + USB 3.0 will not work very well

pine spire
#

I don't know but I'm debating whether or not to send it back to get one of the highly recommended ones

#

I need to move this VM back to the server but I have to get the data off the server first.

#

I temporarily have it set up on a tower computer my daughter no longer uses

#

but it only has 4 GB Ram

#

and 4 core processor

mighty river
#

That is fine for HA right?

#

It runs on a pi

#

lol

#

Are you going to use proxmox on the server again?

#

You have inspired me to set up backups in proxmox

#

proxmox

pine spire
#

Once I get the data off (I have roughly 10TB of info on it) I will convert that to a ProxMox server and put the VM back on as well as my Windows OS server

mighty river
#

Nice.

#

My back up is 2.57GB

#

Do you access HA from outside the home?

pine spire
#

Proxmox wants $95 euro per year per physical CPU, but it appears the VE is saying my machine has 4 CPUs, which is inaccurate.

mighty river
#

Proxmox can be free

pine spire
#

I do, I set up DuckDNS so that Alexa can talk to it

#

Yeah, I'm using it without the subscription

mighty river
#

I would not pay for it tbh

pine spire
#

I'm not going to

#

This machine has 2x4Gb Ram sticks but is only seeing one of them so this is a temporary solution.

warped zealot
#

Proxmox is only paid if you want their enterprise support; you don't get any new features for paying for it. You can disable the 'have I paid' checks with a single line somewhere

mighty river
#

I like to keep the reminder. It reminds me I am a tight arse

pine spire
#

LOL, right

warped zealot
#

It also counts hyperthreads as separate CPUs so if you have 2 cores with hyperthreading it'll report as 4 CPUs

pine spire
#

ahhh, that's shit

mighty river
#

I dunno. It says cpu sockets

warped zealot
#

Yeah that's weird then

warped zealot
pine spire
#

I have 2x 8 core processors so I doubt I'll EVER max out CPU usage.

mighty river
#

Be back later

pine spire
#

So @mighty river, RAM usage (2gb) on the VM on ProxMox is at 94%, everyone wonders why RPI is so slow. CPU spikes to 35% usage but is consistent at 25%

mighty river
#

Wonโ€™t it just use whatever its given?

pine spire
#

I don't know, I don't think so because when I had it on the other machine I dedicated 32Gb to it and it wasn't using all of it that I could see.

#

So I don't think so

mighty river
#

Mine is only using 889MB

#

I gave the vm 2GB

pine spire
#

Then i wonder why mine is so high

mighty river
#

Cpu usage 2% lol

#

Its only a dual core i3 with ht

pine spire
#

hmmm

#

How old is your machine?

#

This one is probably 5 or 6 years old

mighty river
#

Cpu Released 2017

pine spire
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ no idea then

mighty river
#

How many integration s do you have

pine spire
#

19

#

Most of them aren't doing anything, like OpenWeatherMap, it sees my phone as an integration

mighty river
#

Hmm

pine spire
#

Hue Bridge

mighty river
#

Wonder what is using all your cpu

pine spire
#

no idea... but I'll be back, I gotta get the wife from the airport.

#

I'll be back tomorrow

#

most likely

mighty river
#

Ok. Just @ me

pine spire
#

it's already going to be midnight before I get back

#

Soudns good

#

when I get it moved to the other machine, i'll let you know what the usage is there.

You can change the coordinator's channel but devices on the network won't know about the change

unkempt bough
#

I'm looking to expand my room coverage for occupancy and temperature. Without resorting to alibaba / diy sensors, is the most economical zigbee solution sucking it up and buying Hue combo sensors @ ~$40 each?

have been having lots of issues setting up a new Pi with Zigbee2MQTT and Mosquitto running in containers via docker-compose. Am now at the point where Mosquitto will not load due to an Error opening the password file. Links to files below...

Mosquitto Error - https://imgur.com/2Q43Exx

docker-compose.yaml - https://imgur.com/G8sZUHB

mosquitto.conf (changed to mosquitto.passwd which is what the actual file is called) - https://imgur.com/G94ZQFN

#

Any help would be amazing

thick plover
#

seem to have got it working, but z2m does not show any settings

#

and nothing in the About section, all unkowns

molten salmon
#

Thanks for the tips. I already have a Z-Wave controller. Itโ€™s pretty solid but Iโ€™ve been migrating away from Z-Wave as itโ€™s 868MHz and when I had more devices it was very slow compared to Zigbee when setting scenes. Also the devices were way more expensive due to the licensing.

#

I have very few issues with Zigbee since I moved away from deconz.

ivory hound
#

first of all it can not find the file because the file is not there

#

you only mounted the config in that folder

#

you did not mount de folder itself

#

so if you put 1000 files in that folder you will only be able to access conf file outside or inside docker

thick plover
#

Rightโ€ฆ so get rid of the file path to the file and let it end at the folder?

ivory hound
#

yes

#

also very important, presmissions

#

to test, you can go in the container and see

#

let me teach you a secret

#

do this

#

docker exec -it name-of-the-container-here bash

#

or sh instead of bash

#

and puf magic you are on a shell in the container

#

you can ls dirs and see the files on paths

#

see what is going on exactly

#

you dont have to imagine things or wonder if it work after this commend

#

but use it with care

thick plover
#

sh worked tho

#

and how to do exit that?

#

ctrl d got it

ivory hound
#

to exit type exit

ivory hound
thick plover
#

why nothing shows up

#

i have two of these set ups, they are identical, and one works one doesnt

ivory hound
#

@thick ploverman you have to explain, i dont see what you see atm and i have no idea what setups you are talking about

thick plover
#

Sorry. So Iโ€™ve set up Zigbee2MQTT for a friend identically to mine. However when he loads the front end he cannot see any settings in the UI, the typical tick box for Home Assistant and Discovery I think should show.

#

Then there are no buttons to go into the advanced settings

#

And if you go to the tab about the coordinator it just says unknown everywhere

#

I flashed the coordinator successfully- and it shows up as connecting to the container

#

Really at a loss to how to fix it

ivory hound
#

got it

#

permissions

thick plover
#

Within the pi?

ivory hound
#

file permissions

#

read a bit about file permissions on linux most sure z2m can't read conf files or so

#

or can read and can't write

thick plover
#

Will do - Iโ€™m a Linux amateur. Something in the back of my head remembers the command chown having something to do with this

#

Like taking ownership of it or something

ivory hound
#

on short u have permissions for user, group and all others

#

permissions are read, write and execute mainly

#

now depending on how you run that docker compose and what users yo've declared

#

you have correct permissions or not

thick plover
#

Think following this should help?

ivory hound
#

yes

#

@thick ploverahh no man that is for something else

#

sry

thick plover
#

Ah shoot

ivory hound
#

but show me the docker-compose from the guy that zigbee2mqtt doesnt show stuff in ui

thick plover
ivory hound
#

my advice remove deploy resources or rise the limit of 100M memory

#

also

#

gimme a ls -la /home/zigbee2mqtt

#

on the machine that runs docker to see permissions

thick plover
ivory hound
#

is fine

#

you have a 755 permission

#

seem ok

#

i imagine that is new conf on z2m and nothing is configured in it since ui dont really work

#

i'd suggest you to do this

#

stop zigbee2mqtt on the machine with issue and empty the data folder /home/zigbee2mqtt

#

then do a new config for it

#

and start it again

#

also

#

before everything

#

do on the machine with issue

#

docker logs zigbee2mqtt

#

see what it says

#

maybe you will see the error

HI All, Using Zigbee2Mqtt, the external converters are lost on reboot - I add them using the GUI and they work
After reboot, its back to UNSUPPORTED and the config in the menu has removed it
is there any secret to keep the changes?

Hi all,
I'm using HA and ZHA with 1 Aqara switch + 1 aqara motion sensor + 1 Sonoff temparature & humidity sensor. I know ZigBee works in mesh, but in ZHA visualization I'm seeing that devices only work if they'r directly connected to the coordinator. Anyone knows why? Thanks.

jovial aspen
#

has anyone got one of these zigbee CO2 sensors?

#

are they reliable?

#

Looks to be the same as the "Smart Air Box" zigbee sensor on aliexpress

thick plover
#

Flicked you the log after the rebuilt @ivory hound - no change - still same problems

ivory hound
#

then is not zigbee2mqtt

#

is the browser your friend or you use

#

you are not logged in or something related

#

do you have some password manager that automatically fill basic auth? maybe that is filling the wrong pass

#

anyway something related to browser and pass

#

logs look ok

thick plover
#

Now Iโ€™m really confused!

#

I had even refreshed cache for him and it did nothing

Hi all, hope this is the right channel. I have a conbee2 and try to use an ikea strybar(4 button remote). I had some issue that it reported two events when i pressed a button. i removed the device and added it again. Then it gave me three events per click. removed it again and added it again and now i get 4 events. Can it be that removing the device is not completely succesfull and something stays behind that keeps generating the event?

Heya Guys, Just new her on discord. But looking forward sharing along experience/ answer questions and seeing beatifull stuff from all of you.

At the moment only banging my head to the wall and can't get further....
#zigbee-archived Conbee II stick running on Raspb. Pi.
With the automatically detected Conbee II integration detected it worked before flawlessly.
Only at the moment cannot pair anything anymore to it. Also not paired prefiously Not sure what happenned.

Tried reinstalling and re-pairing stuff but no succes.

Any clues?

#

Running the ZHA integration

frosty skiff
#

@red wadi have you tried to connect the conbee to a windows machine? i one had a firmware version that had the conbee2 stuck in a bootloop. in windows you will hear the device connect and reconnect all the time.

red wadi
#

@frosty skiff Will check, will get back to you soon ๐Ÿ˜‰
Now tryng to unmount zha and test with deconz/phoscon to also check latest firmware and so on

#

I do know that I was playing around to get a bluetooth speaker connected. Paired succesfully but not able to broadcast anything to it. Maybe this causes interference?
The Conbee II is connected with USB2 and a USB cable. So not really sure about interference (Maybe from raspberry bluetooth?)

red wadi

oke, that kinda depleted my suggestions. (also new to this stuff)

# red wadi Heya Guys, Just new her on discord. But looking forward sharing along experience...

Funny everything seems back to working again.

Tried multiple things.
Mostly think booting the Deconz on Windows and Hard reset with phoscon.
After this opend Deconz and checked if he can find anything. Then some "neighbours" where shown. After a will also neighbours are connected.

Rolled down a long USB2 extension cord plugged in the conbee stick and restarted Pi several times.
After this finally can pair 4 sensors in a straight go. None of the sensors undetectable.

Maybe also powering down the bluetoothctl agend and scan have helped.

# nova flint Not sure if anyone responded to you yet or not, but.. In general, battery-powere...

Hi, thanks for your answer. It makes perfect sense. However, my aqara switch is directly connected do main power and it's considered as a router (in ZHA visualization) then I should not have this issue (my temperature and humidity sensor is 2 mts from aqara switch). BTW, if I configure one device that's close to the coordinator and move it to other place, it should work if it's close to one router device in the mesh correct?

Not looking good with "repair" my zigbee network. Started to update my Slae.sh stick new firmware and things goind bad from there ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I do that firmware update with Texas instrument program. But stick to program mode. Then i but CC2652RB_coordinator_20211217.hex file on source and but all taps ok. Then i get succesfull update info.

#

After that i take disconnect stick and put that back to my computer. After that i try to get connect my stick with webseria.slae.sh

#

no communication Sending sync and not going anywhere there. Try to firmware update again, but now when i pick my ic type "CC2652RB" and click connect whole program shutdown immediately

#

Firmware update works again, not problem with that but that webserial.slae.sh not working

#

here is log to that firmware update

austere patio
#

Why don't you just try using the stick with your Zigbee integration?

#

The webserial implementation may not be fully functional

vagrant dragon
#

try but that back to my raspi4 HA system, but that not worked anymore

#

thats why i get stick back to my windows PC and try that webserial

austere patio
#

What integration are you using?

vagrant dragon
#

zigbee2mqtt

austere patio

Its debug log will probably contain more useful info

Hi everybody, is there a way to bridge zigbee over Ethernet? My problem is a garage out of reach of the main zigbee network, that has an Ethernet connection.

Hey there! I've got a problem with my new Home Assistant Setup, i've bought a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Plus Stick and flashed it with the Firmware from Koenkk, but the Zigbee2mqtt log only shows this:

#

Anyone got any idea what i could do? To me it looks like the flashing of the stick had gone wrong, but i'm not sure.

near echo
#

try flashing it again - you might have already checked, but just double check whether correct co-ordinator firmware flashed

gilded valve
#

Okay, i'll double check it, when i'm at home. Still at work currently.

ivory hound
#

the things ppl do at work :))

gilded valve
#

๐Ÿ˜‰

#

Or how do i check it via Linux? I flashed it on Windows. I can ssh to the Home Assistant ๐Ÿ™‚

near echo
#

you cannot - just flash it again

#

if you can access ssh on HA - just check if there are other devices as well ls -l ttyUSB* - just in case it is mapped to other

gilded valve
#

[core-ssh ~]$ cd /dev
[core-ssh dev]$ ls -l ttyUSB*
crw-rw---- 1 root audio 188, 0 Jan 31 16:55 ttyUSB0

#

should i give it some more rw rights? But "test -w /dev/ttyACM0 && echo success || echo failure" says success

near echo
#

so the rights are fine. and the stick should map to ACM0. Anyway, try reflashing first, then give this port if that fails

gilded valve
#

Okay, i'll try ๐Ÿ™‚

near echo
#

is there another zigbee network running where the channel or pan id is the same? anyway try changing the channel and the pan id and check if it runs and able to comission

of course i allready do that firmware update many times and restart ha many times

โ—† Upgrade to stack v6.3.1
โ—† Solves an issue where product become unreachable after a gateway restart.
โ—† Increased security regarding upgrade of firmware.

#

Is this "increased security" thing going to interfere with firmware updating from HA or is it just to do with stuff like the new firmware must be signed?

#

so im having a similar issue to @vagrant dragon , i flashed my Sonoff Zigbee device and now its dead

#

it flashed without issue but its not being recognized in HA, also when i try to reflash on my machine it times out

#

tried with the reset button as well as with the pythion script, neither works

#

is there any way to jtag or connect via SPI and flash?

vagrant dragon
#

Now need to start zigbee network pairing from beginning but that is fun job compare that problems with zigbee2mqqt ๐Ÿ˜„

#

I have first time my life 2pcs routers (wall sockets) Do i need put any settings them or pair them differently? Or are they working normally when i pair them and not need any settings?

austere patio
#

If you undo the changes you made to your config file (e.g. PAN ID and channel), the "old network" should just start working again

vagrant dragon
#

i think i do everything from start. Get couple new devices include that routers

#

and but them now same time there

#

have couple problems that old network

#

Hi, trying to send a MQTT to a Zigbee bulb, get no error, but it has no effect. Could someone please give me a hint? mosquitto_pub -u user -P pass -r -t "zigbee2mqtt/friendly_name/set" -m "hue_power_on_behaivior: 'recover'"

sour shadow
#

Did you try using Z2M's native UI to do that?

#

Also, it's not literally friendly_name

solid inlet
#

Lol, no. A few weeks back I tried last it wsn't in there. Will of course try it then ๐Ÿ™‚

solid inlet
sour shadow
#

It's the friendly name of the device

#

You can do it all in Z2M's UI though

solid inlet
#

I still don't find it in Z2M UI... I find the MQTT config, but that is not it, or?

#

I'm in Settings/MQTT...

sour shadow
#

Look at the device itself

solid inlet
#

Oh, will do

#

Well, I'll have to read the docs for this one. But know I know where to do it at least. Thanks

solid inlet
#

got this to work somewhat, but it only survives two power cycles... sudo mosquitto_pub -u user -P pass -r -t zigbee2mqtt/bed_rgb/set -m "{\"hue_power_on_behavior\": \"recover\"}"

#

Off works fine, but have no luck with options recover or on... Any trick to make recover work reliably? It works a few times, then it defaults to full brightness again

Any suggestions on boosting signal?

#

I've got a door sensor on my shed that i could never keep connected. I just installed a zigbee light swtich at my back door (on the inside of the house), and i got it to connect, but seems like every hour or so it's losing connection so it's not stable

#

I have an outlet outside on the other side of the door where that light switch is. i guess i could plug some (small) zigbee device into it just to help with repeating, but it's only going to be a foot away from the light switch, albeit on the exterior of the house

#

are certain devices better at creating a strong repeater than others?

molten linden
#

do you have power at the shed?

gleaming jay
#

Negative

#

Maybe its time to do so lol

molten linden
#

putting a router device there with potentially better reception may help. extreme would be router on house side with directional antenna and router at shed with one with tx boosted on both sides.

Hey there! I've got a TS0601 Thermostat, which i can set normally via zigbee2mqtt, but the local_temperature is always stuck to 20ยฐC. Could the thermostat be faulty? I'm still new to this, so maybe i'm doing something wrong.

lofty obsidian
#

anybody know the trick to get zigbee2mqtt to actually find devices?

sour shadow
lofty obsidian
#

I have a couple of aqara/xioami devices that are found without problem on deconz on win10 but just never appear on z2mqtt

sour shadow
#
  1. USB extension cable
  2. Not a USB 3.0 port
  3. Routers
lofty obsidian
#

not a usb3 port? really? the rpi finds it without issue

#

what does usb3 do

sour shadow
#

Check the pins?

#

(interference, lots of it)

lofty obsidian
#

hrm, ok

#

didn't think that would be an issue, certainly worked fine with usb3 on win10

#

I'll try a different port then - can't hurt to do more cargo-culting

sour shadow
#

Sticking it on a USB 2.0 extension cable should provide the same end result, and the cable is A Good Thing

lofty obsidian
#

wonder if I can find one around

sour shadow
#

If not, buy one - it'll bring an almost magical boost in signal quality (by reducing interference)

lofty obsidian
#

I'm sure I have one ... somwhere

#

I dunno, I had my hue lights and generic plugs running fine with zha

sour shadow
#

It should all work fine, if you pair the routers first, and you have enough of them

lofty obsidian
#

it's all a bit opaque

sour shadow
#

Channel choice plays a big part, if you left Z2M at the defaults then the odds are channel 11 is getting stomped on by WiFi

lofty obsidian
#

oh

#

I did

#

any suggestions?

sour shadow
#

Find one that's quiet?

lofty obsidian
#

lol

#

I'll see what the frizbox says

sour shadow
#

Again, it's all in the pins

lofty obsidian
#

"Failed to save add-on configuration, value must be at least 11.0"

#

huh

sour shadow
#

Odd that...

#

(from the pinned messages I keep mentioning)

lofty obsidian
#

Oh duh, sorry

#

I dislike discord, so easy to miss this stuff

sour shadow
#

Easy to miss the things I keep pointing out ablobthinking

lofty obsidian
#

I didn't know there were pinned things up there! I'm an irc person by nature, and ms teams has rotted my brain

sour shadow
#

So, why didn't you ask when I mentioned it again and again?

#

(and again)

lofty obsidian
#

ah, I see

#

because am crazed with heat in brisbane

#

sorry

#

right, so zigbee 11 lives within 802.11g channel 1

#

neat, and now zigbee2mqtt is 502'ing after changing the channel number in config

sour shadow

So check the log for it

#

It'll tell you there why it's failing to start, though I can make an educated guess as to why

Hi all,
I am running Home Assistant OS on a Raspi 2. I have a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus with the ZHA integration that is working. I can pair devices like bulbs and also buttons. That is where my problem starts. I can pair my IKEA STYRBAR 4 button remote. It gets recognized, with all the triggers, but no matter what I do, I do not get any zha_event from this button. The same goes for the on/off button from IKEA. I tried everything I could find, I re-paired the buttons x times. Does not help. Here https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/31734 Adminiuga says "So this confirms those remotes use group_id 0x0000 when not bound to any groups. Currently there's no way to see device bindings. I guess that leaves it up to the user to do extra configuration step if you bind the remote.", but no information about what this "extra configuration" is? How do I get the buttons to send on group 1(?) so I get the zha_events? I am totally clueless on how to bind to a group (the cluster dialog?), I can't be the only one with this problem? Please help ^__^
Best regards

mellow geode
#

IIRC, the IKEA quirks should bind the remotes to group 0 (and only the LightLink cluster?) by default. That can also be done in the clusters dialog you mentioned. Youโ€˜ll want to open that for the IKEA remotes, then select group 0 from the group binding dropdown (possibly named "no name group" or "Default LightLink group". Then activate the checkbox next to the LightLink cluster. Click bind and immediately press a button on the remote afterwards (so it wakes upโ€”you might need to try this multiple times).
The remote should be bound properly then. Iโ€™m not sure if thatโ€™s all it requires for ZHA events though. Normally, you donโ€™t need to do this at all.

So before doing what I said above, can you check if the remotes have any quirks applied to them? (Can be seen on the device page where the manage clusters button is. Can also be seen at the bottom when viewing a device signature)

#

Also, if you have other devices, do you get zha_event s for them? Do device automations works?

next patio
#

Hi @mellow geode , thanks for your help! ๐Ÿ™‚
It shows "Quirk: zhaquirks.ikea.fourbtnremote.IkeaTradfriRemote" which for me sounds correct. I don't have anything else that could send zha_event. At least when I "Fire Event" manually it shows up while listening, so the listening is working.
I am not sure if I am using the correct dialog for the Cluster thingy, I do not have any checkboxes there, just a "Clusters" drop down where the only ID 0 is "Basic (Endpoint id: 1, Id: 0x0000, Type: in)" followed by "Cluster Attributes", "Cluster Commands" and "Device Binding". When I select the Zigbee Coordinator to bind to (or the bulb) and press "Bind" nothing happens.

Anyone got a recommendation for a zigbee blind controller (roller blind so the chain based stuff)? Don't want to splash out for ikea replacing the blind so looking for an inplace upgrade

@cerulean abyss, I saw something about that on the youtube channel "The Hook Up", maybe start there? It was for his sun shade in the back yard but could ask a question on his youtube channel.

gaunt forge
#

@cerulean abyss get the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1. Works fine in z2m (only battery state is still missing but you have open, close, move to position x% and get back the status in HA). I deployed three of them a few weeks ago and they are very reliable and quiet.

Hi! I have multiple passive BLE temperature sensors that update every 5 minutes, and then a couple Aqara zigbee temperature sensors that seem to update whenever they feel like it (sometimes no update for half an hour). How can I increase the frequency? Could it be an issue with wireless reception, or something else I could troubleshoot?

outer plaza
#

How are you integrating new devices in Zigbee2MQTT? Is there any other way than via web-gui? Like to manually add device to config file

sour shadow
#

Nope

outer plaza
#

Am I right that each add using web-gui forces config file rebuild?

sour shadow
#

I haven't noticed it do that

#

The add-on does behave differently to the standard image though

outer plaza
#

But If new device is added, then it reflects in config, right?

sour shadow
#

Not as such, no

#

In the device database, and the stick, yes

outer plaza
#

I need to test this out. Would you mind telling where can I look for device database if I'm using z2m image?

sour shadow
#

In the config folder

#

Where you find everything else for Z2M

outer plaza
#

Sorries, I'm trying to figure it out theroetically

#

Per documentation, this shall be stored within configuration.yaml file

sour shadow
#

"this"?

limpid cloud
#

@bright nebula AFAIK Aqara temp sensors update when there is some temperature change.

outer plaza
#

Ahh, nevermind. I'll work it out after connecting 1st device haha

#

I meant device information

sour shadow
#

That's not the list of paired devices

#

That's something completely different you're reading

bright nebula
#

@limpid cloud ah, that would explain why, despite the gaps in the reporting, the curves are still consistent

outer plaza
sour shadow
#

Yes, for configuring devices

#

You do that

#

Nothing appears there automatically when you pair new devices

#

database.db is the file that contains the list of paired devices

outer plaza
#

Yhm, and I can add records to this file either by web-gui or MQTT topic, as per documentation.

sour shadow
#

Well, that's not quite how it works, but sure

#

You don't add records - you put Z2M into pairing mode, and put a device into pairing mode

#

Then Z2M chats with the device and updates that file

outer plaza
#

I meant, once I successfully add device using one of those methods then it reflects in database

sour shadow
#

Yes

outer plaza
#

Yes, sorry for shortcuts

#

Generally, .db file shall be .gitignore'd, am I right?

sour shadow
#

If you're not using git for backup

outer plaza
#

If I'm up to set up VC on z2m repo

#

Great

#

Thank you

#

Every day you shed more light on this matter

jolly narwhal
mellow geode
#

Again, you shouldn't have to use this for basic zha_events to work.

#

Maybe try rejoining the remote? (So search for devices in ZHA and then press the button on the inside quickly four times again)

#

Also, try and create an automation via the UI for the remote and see if the device triggers work for that. (doubt it but worth a try maybe)

dusky hatch
#

You can enable set logging of homeassistant.core to Debug to see generated events in the log, which I find quite useful to check if events are getting through

mellow geode

#

If ZHA recognizes it in the pairing dialog and it turns "green", no. They should only be pressed to reset the remote and initiate the pairing process. ZHA should then find and configure that.

mellow geode
#

After that, it should just work

#

On which Home Assistant version are you?

next patio
#

Home Assistant OS 7.2 (2021.12.10)

#

Mhm, that's good. But you should be able to scroll down in the dialog.
Try on another browser maybe? (Although you shouldn't need to do this for remotes to work)

next patio
#

I mean the page is larger than the cluster popup and I dont see anything there.

#

Do I have to create the groups somewhere else first?

mellow geode
#

Ah, yeah. That might be it. But I don't think you can create the 0x0 group in the Home Assistant UI

#

You can try though. Integrations -> ZHA -> "Groups" tab (at the top)

next patio
#

I can only add the bulb to a group there (Name: Test, Group Id: 0x0002)

#

now they show up!

#

Which one do I need to bind the remote to?

#

I got: Identify, LevelControl, LightLink, OnOff, Ota, ScenesCluster

mellow geode
#

I think only the LightLink cluster needs to be bound to group 0 (at least that's what the quirk does IIRC)

next patio
#

It doesn't bind anything anyway ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

mellow geode
#

Yeah, I don't think this is your issue then. ZHA will do the binding automatically on pairing and it seems like the remote isn't connecting properly.

#

Then try to pair the device again (debug logs will contain more information about pairing/binding)

dusky hatch
#

I have an issue with a remote that doesn't pair properly if it is too far away. You could try pairing while it is quite close to the coordinator.

#

Sometimes it seems to help to remove the device from HA first

One question related thats routers (Ikea sockets). Do i need do something that buttons and sensors linked nearest router or is that going automatically. Even if sensor moving some other place on home is that automatically linked nearest router?

limpid cloud
#

@vagrant dragon it is better to pair in place, I have no hard&fast knowledge about this, but roaming to stronger stations is supposedly very device dependent, that is for some devices, it won't happen.

Is it possible for me to run Zigbee MQTT alongside ZHA? I only have one Zigbee USB stick attached. I ask because ZHA is working great and I have everything configured under it. I don't want to mess with a stable system. Unfortunately I have a single device which as far as I can tell features a custom solution in ZigbeeMQTT... (Develco ZHEMI101 to set things like pulse rate and interface mode)

sour shadow
#

You'd need another coordinator, and enough routers to reach the device

#

You'd also need a clear Zigbee channel

#

It might be easier to develop a quirk for ZHA

tardy tendon
#

Unfortunately that's not something I am able to do.

#

It looks like ZHA now supports the device itself but I'm not confident based on the discussion threads I will be able to configure it in the same manner provided by ZigbeeMQTT.

gaunt forge
#

As long as you have a free Zigbee channel available in your surroundings get a second Zigbee-coordinator (either a USB-stick or a LAN-coordinator, best with CC2652P) and configure that one to use Zigbee2MQTT.
You might even like it so much that youโ€™ll want to migrate all your devices to Z2M, itโ€™s a great subsystem. ๐Ÿ˜‰
Make sure to setup Mosquitto and the MQTT-integration first if not already done.
If you are new to MQTT also install the MQTT-Explorer or similar program on a Mac/PC to take a look into the MQTT-topics of your broker. (If you are not you will probably have already done so ๐Ÿ˜‰)

Hi Guys anybody reported an issue with Sonoff Zigbee Bridge using ZHA i have just updated and gone from 101 devices to 260 ?

Does anyone use Aqara H1 Wired switches? if yes did anyone make it work with Conbee? or did anyone make it work other way with HA?

#

i'm using ZHA and i've got a light switch in my back office which which is zigbee but it keeps disconnecting. It is one of 2 furthest devices i have so i'm putting it down to that. But on my zigbee visualisation map it shows a) not as a router (its a perm powered light switch) and b) connected to something that is not exactly the nearest. I have another device in the same room, a battery powered smoke alarm and it connects to a much more sensible 'router' and doesn't appear to disconnect all the time.
Is there anything i can do ?

One has a better antenna then the other

Add more routers

Am I right that WiFi antennas for zigbee dongle will work?

Same frequency band, so it should be fine

tropic swallow

can anyone tell me when a zigbee light is turned off (power off), how long it takes for ZHA to recognize it as unavailable? I used ZHA one year ago, at that time my osram lights took hours to be reported as unavailable. But deconz addon reports it as unavailable with 1/2 minutes.

# jolly narwhal Add more routers

yeah, i figured that might be the case with the antennas. but its a bit annoying that the perm powered device isn't being picked up as a router. is there anything I can do to force it to be one (ie is it something which the ZHA controller dictates or is it the unit itself that decides?)
I can't really add any more routers as I already have a bunch that are as close as I can possibly get at the back of the house that is a straight line going through two patio windows. (but its actually connecting to a light upstairs in the back of the house)
Again, is there any way of 'forcing' a device to use a specific router?

anyone know why wifi smart devices are cheaper than zigbee smart devices (such as plugs)?

sour shadow

The manufacturers don't have to make them work to a given standard, and can do what they want - locking you into their cloud and ecosystem

mint flame
#

the wifi ones? @sour shadow Doesnt zigbee manufacturers do that too?

@mint flame Discord isn't like IRC, you don't have to tag people on every response. Keep in mind that every time you tag somebody, they get a notification ping. That can very quickly become annoying and people may block you.

When using Discord's new Reply feature it defaults to pinging the person you reply to, click @ ON to @ OFF to stop this - on the right side of the compose bar.

You have to change this every time (thank the Discord devs for that).

Sure, but they have to comply with Zigbee standards... to some degree, which takes more work

mint flame
#

fair enough. What's the deal with tuya devices? Are they one of the locked zigbee ones, or can they be used without it still with workarounds?

sour shadow

They're just an example of how somebody can "comply" with a standard while mostly ignoring it

#

hi. So I have updated to 2022.2.0 and now all zha devices are offline.

sweet hemlock
#

Hadn't heard of yours Tube, thanks for the info I'll take a look

#

I'm assuming the external antenna is for the Zigbee protocol and not wifi?

molten linden
#

correct. also wifi is not initialized on the esp32 to avoid any 2.4 ghz interference.

sweet hemlock
#

good to know, see you have a PoE model too which is great

molten linden
#

yes PoE is popular.

sweet hemlock
#

is there any difference between the CC265 and ESP32 types from an end user perspective? or is it just chipset of preference?

#

i.e. they both work the same?

molten linden
#

ESP32 handles the ethernet and the tcp serial connection. the CC2652 handles the zigbee.

sweet hemlock
#

sorry I meant EFR32

molten linden
#

I do sell non PoE models with an EFR32 based zigbee module. these are not well supported under Zigbee2Mqtt so would be best for someone who is set on running ZHA.

#

the EFR32 radios do have an upgrade path to run zigbee and thread concurrently in the future. its early days with that though.

sour shadow
#

ISTR there's timing differences with the network protocol for the EFR vs TI, that means that the EFR is more at risk of timing issues - though I believe that's mostly an issue with WiFi connected coordinators

molten linden
#

technically the CC2652 can do thread too but their isn't anything that I know of out yet moving in the direction like SiLabs is doing with the EFR32 and multi protocol.

sweet hemlock
#

OK so I'm going to go for the PoE model which is CC2652, and then hope that TI provide firmware updates to support thread in the future

#

Thanks tube & Tinkerer

Sorry for chiming in as a newbie: If and when thread/matter takes hold, what is the most realistic migration scenario for typical setups? Run two meshes on the same channel (it is hard enough to get one free from WiFi), on seperate channels, some gradual migration with backwards compatibility (one concentrator serves thread and Zigbee) or the throw everything away and rebuy with thread scenario?

sour shadow
#

Don't worry about it until thread/matter becomes enough of a thing

limpid cloud
#

Yes, it will be years of course until it gains traction (two? three?) but I would be interested in educated guesses. Running two meshes in parallel does not scare me at all.

jolly narwhal
sour shadow
#

I mean, I suspect the answer will be that most folks will run their new Thread/Matter setup alongside everything else

#

It's not like I'm going to go out and buy a few hundred Thread sensors to replace all my Zigbee and Z-Wave ones

limpid cloud
#

Neither will I, but it would be cool if there was some limited interoperability. If not, I would perobably move devices around so that one mesh grows, and the other one shrinks in the long run.

Using a Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus

#

Did the update this morning and everything was offline. Integration showing as "Failed to set up".

#

Did a restore back to 12.10 but still having the issue. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

#

Using ZHA by the way

#

Anyone else having the same?

icy grove
#

Just a little question, I've looked at the "visualization" tab in ZHA, it doesn't show me the lines in between the devices, also doesn't show the strenght of the signal each device has. Is this something I can enable? (Worth noting I only have 1 coordinator, 0 routers and 2 sensors connected currently

#

^ picture of what it looks like for me

scarlet vigil
#

Is that my issue?

mint flame
#

@scarlet vigil I just did all that firmware changes with the dongle plus yesterday. how did you do a backup of the previous firmware?

scarlet vigil
#

I didn't change the firmware at all

#

This stick is just out the box and was plug and play a few weeks ago

odd mango
#

I have my whole home running on HA, including my heating system, boiler. Things like this make me think not twice, but three times before updating anything.

#

it's -15C outside currently. So you can imagine my stress levels when it went offline.

#

I'm glat it's back online after backup was restored, but I'm afraid to even touch it now.

jolly narwhal
#

This is why you have rollback plans, redundant hardware and backups

odd mango
#

yes, but backups don't always work, as mentioned above

jolly narwhal
#

They do if you test them

#

Best regards someone who has worked with backups for decades

scarlet vigil

The full backup seems to have restored okay but I'm still having an issue which I don't quite get.

scarlet vigil

Through the cli of a *nix machine preferably

But I can say that updating firmware isnt the same as software

jolly narwhal

Firmware updates exist to fix bugs and add features

Just like any other software

Or fix features and add bugs

That is more common

lol tru

#

But I dont know if it would have worked at all with ZHA or zigbeeMQTT before updating the firm ware, because i assumed something wouldnt have worked right, like itwas locked into using a certain manufacturers stuff by default

scarlet vigil
jolly narwhal
#

No

#

But you should do it regularly

Upgrade the firmware?

scarlet vigil

Okay, so how on earth did the HA update break my perfectly working ZHA setup, and then downgrading again doesn't revert back to working?

jolly narwhal

I've never used zha

So can't say

If I need a quick cheap repeater/router does it matter if it is zha/mqtt that's flashed on it? (If I'm using zha on ha)

Shell shock right now!

jolly narwhal

Devices don't have ZHA or mqtt

reef inlet

They have their own firmware

Then buy a known good router

#

Like tradfri

#

Or hue

reef inlet
#

No. I mean the usb repeaters etc

jolly narwhal
#

Why?

reef inlet
#

It's literally just for one device that's not connecting properly ...see my issue if you scroll up a couple hours

sour shadow
#

They don't have ZHA or MQTT firmware, they have nothing to do with ZHA, Zigbee2MQTT, or deCONZ

#

Pretty much any mains powered Zigbee device does what you need

jolly narwhal
#

Why not buy a usable device

#

Like a bulb or outlet

reef inlet
#

Because I don't need any more of them in my back office and figured that was overkill.

jolly narwhal
#

It's easier to maintain

#

And just as cheap

reef inlet
#

Fair enough. Will see if I can find a cheapo plug socket or something then

#

Are plug sockets likely to act as a router?

jolly narwhal
#

Most

reef inlet
#

I mean the device I'm having issues with isn't being seen as a repeater and it's a perm light switch

jolly narwhal
#

So Tuya then?

sour shadow
#

Let me guess, two-wire?

reef inlet
#

Possibly. I didn't know there was an issue with tuya related devices? I thought it was just a general app to manage them with (and I'm not using it so wasn't an issue....clearly it is though)

#

How is two wire different ?

#

I just ordered the better looking of the , pretty much 2 styles of switch

jolly narwhal
#

My Tuya wall switch doesn't even behave in a group

reef inlet
#

Hmm well I've not even figured out ZigBee groups yet. I've got to look into that. Is it important?

jolly narwhal
#

Yes

scarlet vigil
#

I know the answer to this but ... If I remove ZHA and then re-add it I assume all my entities and devices vanish..?

reef inlet
#

Just reading up. It's just for if you want multiple devices to be turned on or off as a single entity? I don't have any devices I need to do that with other than a couple of bulbs but I use light groups for them

Lights groups are not great for ZigBee

Just move to the superior platform

Can't zha handle 2 or 3 instructions without getting confused ?

jolly narwhal

The ZigBee mesh is low bandwidth

Hence ZigBee groups are kinder

One message

Instead of x

reef inlet
#

Do they ever respond individually any more if you've created a ZigBee group ?

Groups is just a top layer

setting entity/device names in yaml

so I could restore the network and then bind devices to it

now it is very difficult to restore the network nd automtions when something breaks

tropic depot

just back up the registries

vestal atlas
# jolly narwhal Hence ZigBee groups are kinder

Nope, broadcasts are wayway more taxing on the network than unicast messages. Group messages get repeated 3 times by every router on the network, unicast just gets routed via the necessary routers

tropic depot
#

that's where that lives

odd mango
#

did that, and it did not work when restored

I'd have to see exactly what you did

Eh, i use ZigBee groups for 80+ bulbs and outlets, never had issues, used light groups earlier, that was horrible

Very inconsistent

Especially with adaptive lighting

in that kind of group I'm sure it makes sense, just don't do more than 8 calls within 8 seconds

I usually use group with there are more than ~10 devices, it looks much nicer when they get controlled in sync

No my groups are 4-15 in each

Just trying to understand, are tuya products inferior to other zigbee products in some way? they are priced much cheaper from what ive seen

molten linden
#

tuya connect to zigbee fine, it's just that they use their own tuya commands, not standard zigbee. commands for device function so a lot of work has to go into trying to decode those commands and translate them to be usable. (I may be over simplifying it but that's the gist).

mint flame
molten linden
#

If using tuya zigbee products with z2m or zha they need to have had support added to work as they donโ€™t follow anything really close to the zigbee spec. For any tuya zigbee product there could be dozens of variants with slightly different function but showing as the same model but a different manufacturer code. Tuya is just a pain in the ass.

ah ok

tropic depot
#

we have had reports before for Ikea devices going nuts and eating batteries but that was because of firmware issues w/ them in particular

#

nothing on Xiaomi

#

they generally last forever

i am using sengled

#

and for the most part they last for a very long time

#

but lately after upgrades has not been the case

#

unless it's not reporting correctly - but 1 of them drained in like 2 weeks

#

i run a report every morning on all them

Maybe there's a little bug going on since the last Home Assistant update? When I first installed my sensors they both showed 80%, then a day later 100%, so seems like something is getting a little weird every now and then

unless that could be issue?

#

polling them - wouldn't think once a day would do that

I'll just wait it out a bit and see how long they'll actually last, don't want to get too hang up on it for now.

#

good idea

icy grove
#

Any idea about the visualization lines not showing? Or is that just Xiaomi devices doing their thing?

#

no fairly certain that's the conbee

#

and normal after restarts

#

when is the last time you restarted?

I got 3 aqara water leak sensor and they are all '100%' battery after a year. Guess they will go 100 to 0 real quick one day ๐Ÿ˜…

I restarted Home Assistant core yesterday

but I've had the lines not showing for longer than a week now
