#

that isn't normal... no errors or anything in the logs or the browser?

icy grove
#

could you help me out a little on where to find the logs? (I'm a newbie 🙃 )

tropic depot
#

configuration -> settings -> log

icy grove
#

an error of some sort will probably pop up shortly after restarting I assume?

tropic depot
#

not necessarily

#

i'd assume there aren't any errors tbh

icy grove
#

I don't see any but I'll try and look if I can find anything

#

I've seen them same problem reported across the forum, for some reason most people encountering this issue have a Conbee II aswell

icy grove
tropic depot
#

yeah it's generally conbee that I have seen this from

#

I prefer decoupling, everything runs in seperate containers, either on the same host or multiple hosts, depending on my mood

it's coming

#

just not sure how long yet

but you did 🤣

shhhh

#

Anyone have any ideas on this? I'm about ready to just try and switch to z2m but it's super annoying for one device.

tropic depot
#

I have a bunch of meetings at "real work" i'll peek at that when I have a few moments

tardy tendon
#

Cool, thanks

#

Don't necessarily need the github issue. My original post is here.

I will, i'll let you know

I would much prefer that over tearing everything down for one device. Just ping me when you have a second. I haven't been able to find a solution yet so I would really appreciate it.

#

I have extension cord on mines

#

is it possible to change the zigbee channel in zha?

#

i had done this with zigbee2mqtt after reading it was recommended to ensure it did not conflict with wifi channels

icy grove
#

I think ZHA is running channel 15 by default @ripe hazel

ripe hazel
#

awesome thanks @sour shadow

#

guess i'll be repairing everything today

#

#

well - wondering if i need to do this

I have, looks like they still have the old firmware and are discovered as TS011F_plug_3 (zigbee2mqtt)

tropic depot

#

I am cosidering to buy the sh**y tuya bridge

ripe hazel
#

yes just read you have to reset

#

not sure i want to do that

#

so the network errors is that an issue on zigbee controller or on the device side? I was not seeing these errors before my upgrade

@austere patio - CC2652R

#

this stick was working fine under zigbee2mqtt

austere patio
ripe hazel
#

well lately i've had varying issues with devices not responding properly or going offline for no reason - i looked in logs and found those routing issues and going back see they happen periodically - i know for fact i wasn't having these issues before. Also now when I restart home assistant due to some change or update it seems to take much much longer to recover from zigbee when before it was in lock step with the message about home assistant being back online

#

literally like 2/3 minutes before my zigbee devices report back as back online

austere patio
#

Do you have any offline devices left over?

ripe hazel
#

not at the moment - i normally go through and reset it

#

also battery life has been horrendous as of late on my zigbee devies

austere patio
#

Like a stale device that is no longer in use but still in the database

ripe hazel
#

hmm

#

let me look

austere patio
#

Routing issues on startup are expected, it takes a bit for the coordinator to build routes

ripe hazel
#

but 2 to 3 minutes? (might be my perception but it used to come back much faster before)

austere patio
#

2 to 3 minutes is excessive. Enable ZHA debug logging and post the startup log.

ripe hazel
#

how do i do that?

#

found it

#

going to do it now

#

just to confirm i'm adding this correct

#

logger:
default: info
logs:
homeassistant.core: debug
homeassistant.components.zha: debug
bellows.zigbee.application: debug
bellows.ezsp: debug
zigpy: debug
zigpy_deconz.zigbee.application: debug
zigpy_deconz.api: debug
zigpy_xbee.zigbee.application: debug
zigpy_xbee.api: debug
zigpy_zigate: debug
zigpy_znp: debug
zhaquirks: debug

#

then restart

#

and am I only restarting zha or core also?

#

never mind - have to stop being lazy and read - getting that info now

ripe hazel
#

umm

#

how do send log

#

right away as i go through this i see devices i don't even have anymore

#

how do i clear that out

#

do i need to reset the zigbee stick?

austere patio
#

No, you should be able to find the devices in the ZHA integration's device page and just remove them

#

The stick doesn't keep track of what's on your network

ripe hazel
#

how do I get you log

#

there is allot of info in there

#

I have quite a bit of this

ripe hazel
#

anyone have any idea what this is 'GLEDOPTO GL-D-004ZS 66750b21 identify became unavailable

outer plaza
#

Am I right that in z2m, state.json stores settings of each device connected using it? What does coordinator_backup do then?

austere patio
outer plaza
#

Is it necessary file for backup?

#

I guess not

#

as it looks like logging file

austere patio
#

It is

#

I think Z2M will recreate it by reading the settings from your coordinator hardware

outer plaza
#

Ahh, this is dependant on dongle I'm using?

austere patio
#

But if you re-flash your coordinator firmware or use a new one, your network will not be easily recoverable

outer plaza
#

Okay, will store it then

#

But.. is it possible to fully restore network if coordinator stick dies?

austere patio
#

Yes, that's what the backup is for

outer plaza
#

Or do I have to manually pair each device

#

I need to dig into it, how to do such backup properly

austere patio
#

It's done automatically by Z2M on shutdown I believe

outer plaza
#

In the other way than via GIT

#

but.. if for example my coordinator stick dies, will this kind of backup be enough to fully recover network?

austere patio
#

Yes

outer plaza
#

Ahh, smart

austere patio
#

Assuming you're currently using a CC2531 or a CC2652 and will be replacing it with a CC2652

outer plaza
#

Well, great then!

#

commiting this file too

Can someone sanity check this for me?

  trigger:
    - platform: event
      event_type: deconz_event
      event_data:
        id: opple_switch_2_gang
        event: 1002
  action:
    - service: light.toggle
      target:
        entity_id: light.hue_office
      data:
        brightness: 255```

When I press the button, the logbook shows the light is turned off, then instantly back on, by the same automation about 1/2 second later. the deconz event is triggered only once. Also it's only intermittent, so sometimes it works as intended and other times it just dims slightly for 1/2 second before going back to full brightness...
dusky hatch
#

Have you tried monitoring the deconz events under developer tools -> events? Maybe there is more than 1 event coming in from the switch?

#

The config itself looks like it should work to me, although I don't use deconz myself

dreamy palm
#

Yeah, event listener shows only one event coming from the switch

reef inlet
#

Quick question. If you move a ZigBee device ,will it automatically sort itself out and reconnect to the nearest repeater or do you need to re-pair it etc ‽

dusky hatch
#

Maybe some other automations getting triggered then?

dusky hatch
dreamy palm
#

The light shows no other automations triggering it, but I think I have a suspicion to follow now... Is the light triggered by the switch when HASS isn't running...

reef inlet
#

Ah ok. I don't know if it is struggling to connect cos of distance to nearest repeater or if it's not actually trying

lilac wharf
#

In general, devices will reroute to better parents. That doesn't necessarily mean the closest parent though

reef inlet
#

Gotya. I'll try to re-pair it tomorrow then ..fingers crossed. Else I'll have to buy a repeater or something. It's not even that far. Maybe like 10 metres through a couple of patio doors at most ...hohum

dreamy palm
#

in happy news - I got a Tuya/Zemismart hub to talk to my zigbee blinds and it's working like a charm now 😄

#

Ayyy fixed it! Turns out I had the light in a group in Phoscon for some reason. Likely something left over from when I broke my SD card and had to restore from a wonky backup. Ty for the sanity check @dusky hatch !

dusky hatch

Nice, glad to help 👍

Posted this over on DrZZZs diy-led channel, but would also appreciate any contributions here.....

Ive just bought a heap of SK6812 WWA strips to go into my brewery and i need a recommendation for a ZIGBEE controller for these. I truly dont have the time at the moment to tinker/build a WiFi controller (I have done many controllers using esphome for my brewery) and I want to rely on a different protocol than Wifi as my internet infrastructure is pretty full. Im currently running Z2M on HA and just need something I can buy that is pretty much Plug n Play (no boxes/connections etc to make). I can use a RGB controller obviously, however from a staff perspective to adjust lights etc - id really like to avoide RGB and use something that ONLY represents WW/CW on the HA side of things rather than a full RGB color wheel.

I haven't seen any zigbee controllers for individually addressable leds. There are ready made WLED controllers that are plug and play tho

I have a question, I have reached a limit of 150 devices on my tube-zw. I also have my old cordinator (Deconz II usb stick). I sill need to add 20+ lights. I am using ZHA (migrated from Deconz).

@gaunt forge thanks for the reply. My coordinator is Connected via Texas Instruments CC1352/CC2652, Z-Stack 3.30+ (build 20211217). I have lots of powered devices but also a lot of battery powered devices so maybe the lights will work. I am going to give it a try. In case it doesn't I might have to setup a second zigbee mesh with the deconz USB stick. But then comes the question on what channel. My existing is on channel 25.

Hey guys , any advice on IR blaster?
had tuya but now switch to z2m and looking for something i can use properly with HA
broadlink rm4 mini+htc is an option but its wifi and not zigbee , is there anything except the Heiman Smart IR ?

lofty junco
#

hey. i'm using ZHA, do i need the alexa HUE skill to connect an control my hue lights over HA/ZHA?

#

or is that hue-skill only needed for the hue cloud?

tropic depot
lofty junco
# tropic depot No you can pair the devices directly to zha

hmm.... did that, but for some reason, when i tell my echo device "turn off light in room xyz" i get the message that the hub cannot be found... but switching off the lights from my alexa app works just fine. So alexa can control the lights but it won't do that for my voice commands. any idea why that's the case? :/

Is hue skill enabled in Alexa?

#

if so remove it

They're just different implementations. Different approaches, different ways of supporting devices, work with more or less the same coordinators but there are some differences, etc.

I'm brand new to smart home space. I wanna get some wifi bulbs, and two battery powered remote switches to control them. But I don't want the switches themselves to be wifi because as I understand they will use way more battery.

So for the battery powered remote switch I'll need a zigbee or zwave solution. But it's my understanding that you need a hub to run zigbee or zwave devices.

But it's also my understanding that home assistant is it's own hub. I know many people get raspberry pi's for this but I was thinking why not just use my pc since it's always on anyways.

But I have a few questions and concerns.

  1. Home assistant is just a program right? I don't need to buy anything some kind of dongle right?
  2. My PC doesn't need to be hard wired right? My pc itself is connected to network and internet via wifi. I heard some hubs need to be directly connected to the router. Is this nessissary for home assistant.
  3. Both my router and my pc are in the basement. But the smart devices I want to control are on the second floor of my house. I have perfect wifi connection to my 2nd story room though. So if home assistant runs on my pc downstairs, as long as my wifi connection is good zigbee and zwave devices should work right?
  4. or am I completely wrong, do I need to buy a z-wave or zigbee hub in order to use zigbee or z-wave products. And if so will the distance from router be a concern since I cant hard wire to second floor?
sour shadow
#
  1. You still need a Zigbee dongle - the radio
#
  1. It really should be
#
  1. That's not how it works
#

Zigbee doesn't "piggyback" on the WiFi signal, it's completely separate

#

(same goes for Z-Wave)

quaint stirrup
#

  1. so the Zigbee dongle - the radio needs to be plugged into my pc then right? But that means the radio is going to come from my pc in the basement. I don't have any other smart devices for a connection to hop between in order to reach the devices on the top floor. So how good is the range for a dongle in general. Do you think it will be problem?

  2. how much worse would it really be using wifi over hard wire for pc with dongle plugged in. I get like 250mbps on my AC wifi connection to my pc and about upstairs I get like 50+mbps on N wifi band. (Both same network). I get wifi adds latency but shouldn't it be extremely negligible.

sour shadow
#
  1. Yes. Or you buy a network connected coordinator. Range is typically in the 5 to 8 meters region - depending on many factors
#
  1. Your server, and HA is a server, should always be wired. This is good practice, and doubly so if you're using Zigbee since it uses the same frequency band and you're just going to add interference

@sour shadow sorry to ping you, I need some god to help me locate my error x_x
When i give a voice command to ma alexa device, it tells me that the hub of the linked device/light doesn't respond/anwers.
But in my alexa app i can normally control my lights by buttonpress. For the alexa app to be working with the lights, ma AWS lambda instance must be working, right? So if the AWS instance works, the alexa app works and the lights work, it has do be something between my HA and the AWS instance, right?

sour shadow
#

You're sorry to ping me, but do it anyway ablobthinking

#

I mean, if you're going to lie, at least make it believable...

lofty junco
sour shadow
#

You weren't sorry

#

If you were sorry you'd not have done it

#

So... it's a lie, or you're delusional

#

Either way, you've now ensured I'll never help you...

lofty junco
#

Uhm... Maybe there is some language barrier here, but I meant to say that I am sorry to be in the position where I felt the need to ping you, since my home is currently in a not-good state where my whole light-setup is not really working, and it's getting pretty dark outside

#

Sorry if that made you angry. Really.

sour shadow
#

You could just have posted the question, and then anybody who could help would have

#

Instead you demanded my attention...

lofty junco
#

Cmon man... I said I'm sorry if the ping annoyed you. And obviously you don't need to help me if you don't want to (or if you can't). No need to be mean now :/

My wife says I should feel sorry a lot

gloomy pivot
#

@lofty junco just a quick look up in the chat seems you've been at this for a few hours... it certainly does help when the ones in here that actually know what they're talking about pipe up 😅

#

are you using nabu casa for your HA -> alexa solution?

#

or manually configured?

lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

i've only done the manual configuration with google home, not alexa... but then i ended up moving to nabu casa

lofty junco
#

manually configured, over AWS dev account

gloomy pivot
lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

no worries

#

you've got the lights integrated to alexa via the hub then? and not via HA

#

if they work directly through alexa

lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

if they work through the alexa app, but not through voice, that seems like an alexa issue

lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

so is the hub connected to alexa or HA?

#

ohh, so what hub are you using now?

lofty junco
sour shadow
lofty junco
#

i have a feeling that alexa still tries to connect to the physical hub, but i removed all linkings to that

gloomy pivot
#

@smoky jewel do you have discovery set up in zigbee2mqtt?

gloomy pivot
lofty junco
#

ah wait, not the hue emulation, sorry

gloomy pivot
#

the emulated hue hub integration lets HA act like it is a hue hub, so things that connect to hue hub can use it

#

i use that to expose devices to my harmony remote

smoky jewel
lofty junco
#

i just meant that the lights are connected to HA by ZHA. not the hue emulation

gloomy pivot
#

it doesn't let you pair

#

but what HUB are you using? for zha

smoky jewel
#

i've already paired a bunch of sensor and they have been working for a good while

gloomy pivot
#

double check

lofty junco
#

ah, a ... what was the name again, zigbee coordinator (ethernet)

gloomy pivot
#

which one? lol

#

be specific

#

can you control the lights from HA?

lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

ah ok

#

i'll trust a tube hub 😉

gloomy pivot
lofty junco
lofty junco
gloomy pivot
#

and how have you added them TO alexa?

#

via the emulated hue?

lofty junco
# gloomy pivot and how have you added them TO alexa?

via the HA config:

alexa:
  smart_home:
    locale: de-DE
    endpoint: https://api.eu.amazonalexa.com/v3/events
    client_id: xxx
    client_secret: yyy
    filter:
      include_entities:
        - light.schlafzimmer_decke
        - light.schlafzimmer_martin
gloomy pivot
#

if you had them set up with the old hub, you probably need to remove them first before using the HA-exposed ones

gloomy pivot
lofty junco
gloomy pivot
lofty junco
lofty junco
#

so the thing is:

#

the lights were connected to the phys hue hub before. I then went into the hue app and removed the lights there. I figured that this is removing them from hue and after that i was able to link them to HA

#

hmm... but even the one light that worked 2-3 months before isn't working now anymore...

#

in my alexa app it shows me that the lights are connected through "Home Assistant", so they are really connected to HA

#

it seems that just the voice command has problems... but why....

gloomy pivot
gloomy pivot
lofty junco
# gloomy pivot i'd ask in <#646814454063038466> as recommended

already did, that channels seems to be not used much^^° and I am not 100% sure that's an error related to something voicecommand-related in the end... It's just so strange. My debug-level HA-logs show me a lof of things like 2022-02-05 21:29:48 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.alexa.smart_home_http] Received Alexa Smart Home request: {'directive': {'header': {'namespace': 'Alexa', 'name': 'ReportState', 'payloadVersion': '3', 'messageId': 'b0f66644-6bd0-4f54-8929-c8e0b3787fb0', 'correlationToken': ..... which also makes me think that HA works fine with the AWS instance in the cloud... I guess wi will try to debug on alexa-side, but there i can't do much aside from removing the HA-skill and re-enabling it (which i already did)

gloomy pivot
#

yeah, we've gone out of my depth on alexa unfortunately

quaint stirrup
#

can a zigbee remote control a wifi lightbulb? zigbee usually sends a separate radio wave right? So that wouldn't be picked up by wifi but the zigbee dongle is connected to a pc which is connected to the wifi network. So would the signal go to the dongle and then the dongle would us the wifi network to send the signal to the bulb?

Or would wifi lightblub just plain not work with a zigbee switch?

sour shadow
#

Home Assistant can

jolly narwhal
#

Anything can control anything with home assistant tbh

sour shadow
#

With HA it's not can device X control device Y, it's can I connect device X and device Y to HA

jolly narwhal
#

A ZigBee remote can deploy a azure VM, and when it is deployed it can turn on a WiFi bulb

quaint stirrup
jolly narwhal
#

I should make a ZigBee remote deploy a cloud vm tbh

#

Just to impress the dinosaur managers i have a few levels above me

smoky jewel
#

so i doublechecked the config and yes, discovery is on (homeassistant: true)

#

just for the fun of it i restarted the daemon and now the devices have flipped from unreachable to disabled. unsure of what that means

#

What isn't? LeoLaugh

Trying again

Zigbee2mqtt - I have a fine zigbee network with 31 devices, but lately devices stop working and fallout and sometimes the whole network stops working until i restart HA. Any ideas?

gloomy pivot
#

using zigbee2mqtt standalone or addon? because neither one should drop the whole network dependent on HA

sour shadow
#

Restarting HA will have no impact on Z2M

#

Rebooting the host however...

livid torrent
#

Addon - Yea the host was what I meant

sour shadow
#

Rebooting the host seems pretty extreme - try simply restarting the add-on next time

#

What coordinator are you using though?

Cc2531 - with update fw

What you're experiencing is exactly what the stick is known to do

# gloomy pivot yeah, we've gone out of my depth on alexa unfortunately

hey, i found the problem but not the final solution 🙂
so the thing is, that i'm using "alexa household" with my wife. And since my AWS dev account is only linked to me, the voice commands only work if i command an echo device "alexa, switch to my account". afterwards the lights work just fine. But of course the commands also need to work when the echo devices are set to my wife. But I don't tink creating a 2nd dev-account for my wife and duplicating the skill will be good, because HA will get confused with 2 skills... So i somehow need to share my created dev-skill with my wife's amazon-account... but that seems to be harder than it should :/

hi guys, can someone recommend me some Zigbee light switches (neutral cable ones) UK

graceful vapor
#

anyone know how exactly the ikea remotes work with their light sources, I paired both the remote and the LED gunnarp to my sonoff hub using ZHA first and while trying to pair the devices with each other too I seem to have lost the LED from the hub

#

the weird thing is it did all the flashing and dimming while eventually settling so I wonder what did the LED pair itself to in the end

#

will be a pain to take the LED fixture down from the ceiling

remote patio
#

has anyone flashed the firmware on the sonoff zigbee 3.,0 plus usb stick? I've been trying for a few hours now without success

when i tried that flash2 programmer it just quits after hitting the play button

#

you sure it is on ttyS3 - seems unusual. check dmesg to see if your sonoff is detected

#

I flashed on windows though, but this should be the same

remote patio
#

it's a windows system.. it's on COM3 which maps to /dev/ttyS3

remote patio
#

maybe it's just impossible under windows 11.. might need to try a linux vm

#

how could I even tell that it entered bootloader mode?

jolly narwhal
#

I'd just use the Texas instruments GUI tool for Windows

#

I've used it twice, never had issues

remote patio
#

it either says that the device is not un bootloader mode or just quits

# 
>Initiate access to target: COM3 using 2-pin cJTAG.
>No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again.
If problem persists, check connection and baud rate.
>Connecting over serial bootloader failed: No response from device. Device may not be in bootloader mode. Reset device and try again.

#

best case

#

otherwise quits

#

I don't even see anywhere to set a baud rate

#

either the device does not go into bootloader mode or the software/os is somehow broken or preventing access.. running it as administrator so I hope that's not the issue.. no access warning or security warnings in windows

#

hmm.. i can set a baud rate ON the device.. it seems to be 9600..

#

aha! got it!

#

I had to run the windows terminal as administrator.. then the python command works

where can you find the changelog of the coordinator firmware for Texas Instruments CC2652P devices?

oh.. nice.. it just auto-joins the zigbee network

so it worked for COM3 as ttyS3 but now I'm permission denied on COM4 as ttyS4.. baffling

does anyone have any problems with conbee2 and 2022.02.02?
wont work for me

There seem to be some bugs in 2022.2.2 (e.g. renaming of devices not possible) maybe that’s the problems you are seeing…
I‘ll wait until 2022.2.5 before jumping on 2022.2

crude otter
#

yay, none of my zigbee devices show battery level anymore.

#

what a wonderful feature 😛

remote patio
#

I've found battery levels to be wholly unreliably with zigbee

crude otter
#

sure, but the entity isnt available now

#

since updating to 2022.2.2

remote patio
#

I use z2m so I've not been affected by that

crude otter
#

but i have a completely (in my opinion) useless 'identify' button now..

remote patio
#

how would that work? flashing light? in theory

crude otter
#

i assume so

#

which is usually a tiny LED

#

so, useless.

remote patio
#

I didn't know zigbee supported that?

crude otter
#

no idea

remote patio
#

thought of it as a homekit feature

crude otter
#

i suppose i could test it

wild tapir
#

everything stoped working for me when i upgraded, tried to make a clean install , zha seems to work, but something is wrong, first zha found a device but the light did not get that it was bound, next try with a tempsensor , zha does not find anything

crude otter
#

it indeed does flash the LED on the door sensor i tried

remote patio
#

that's useful in some situations

crude otter
#

not in many, really

#

i mean, if you have a pile of them on your desk in front of you, i suppose

remote patio
#

initial setup mainly

crude otter
#

but you should be pairing them in their final location anyway

remote patio
#

ideally yes.

#

but I do hope they can roam to different routers if needed

jolly narwhal
#

Aqara don't

remote patio
#

I finally configured two sonoff zigbee 3.0 plus devices as routers..

crude otter
#

i use a sonoff 3.0 usb thing as coordinator, and have a few of those Tradfri repeater things

remote patio
#

yeah well aquara is what I have the most off.. will be re-pairing them after I deploy the routers..

crude otter
#

and some sonoff zbminis also, as routers

remote patio
#

the sonoff routers IMMEDIATELLY grabbed a bunch of devices after automatically joining the mesh when permitted

crude otter
#

which ones?

remote patio
#

good question.. I didn'ty actually pay attention to that.. let me reconnect one

crude otter
#

this battery thing has annoyed me lol

remote patio
#

it's not a major problem as long as it gets fixed soon..

#

ok.. the router immediately grabbed on to all the aquara power plugs and tradfrii repeaters and lights

crude otter
#

cool

#

some specific sonoff router?

#

oh the dongle

#

with router firmware?

remote patio
#

didn't get any of the aquara switches or ... what's that philips zigbee thing...

#

yes the dongle with router firmware

crude otter
#

i have 2 dongles, but one is just a spare

#

so far its been pretty solid

remote patio
#

I started with that weak and cheap zigbee coordinator that many people start with.. then went on to a conbee2.. then moved to the lama (somethign like that) stick

#

I feel like I'm developing dementia.. just forgetting so much

crude otter
#

i went from the Sonoff ZBBridge to this Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 Plus

remote patio
#

ahh! that's it.. Electrolama zig-a-zig-ah! (zzh!)

#

that's my co-ordinator

crude otter
#

ive heard of that

remote patio
#

the best and worst zigbee devices I have are the xiaomi aquara ones

#

some of them are super solid.. and some are flakey..

#

don't know if it's just a matter of signal... so hopefully these two routers will make that clearer

#

are there any other affordable zigbee brands apart from xiaomi?

crude otter
#

i use mainly sonoff devices

#

and some ikea stuff

#

and one Yale/Lockwood door lock

remote patio
#

what country are you in ?

#

and how is the doorlock in your experience?

#

doesn't seem to pick anything else up.. maybe if I did a pairing from scratch

Hello,

I want to create a smart RGB led strip. Someone knows the difference between these 2 controllers(except the price)

sour shadow
#

One is likely to be crap, the other is made by Gledopto

jolly narwhal
#

I'd trust the gledopto a lot more

sour shadow
#

The Gledopto one is also likely to be a lot easier to wire up

grand sail
#

ah okay

#

i tought tuya was pretty good

sour shadow
#

Tuya is a roll of the dice, they pay even less attention to the Zigbee spec than Xiaomi do (but still more than Sonoff)

grand sail
#

ah okay

#

and for motion sensors?

#

xiaomi aqara

#

is that good?

#

because i find philips hue motion sensor way to expensive

sour shadow
#

They're not bad - not as good as the Hue ones, but they're ok

grand sail
#

Okay

sour shadow
#

I like the Develco/Frient multi-sensor but it is a bit big

grand sail

final question for now. any advice(dont know how it is called) but the one you putt behind the light switch to make a dumb light smart

because it is 230V i want it to be good

hi guys, can someone recommend me some Zigbee light switches (neutral cable ones) UK

cerulean abyss
#

So I think I have bound this correctly (Ikea remote to Ikea bulb) but it doesn’t actually do anything

IMG_0698.png
#

Like none of the buttons do something

#

So I presume i’ve stuffed something up

wild tapir
#

got my lights working now but no sensors, is there any breaking changes with zha that i have missed?

mental hedge
#

Is there a way to reduce the data update frequency?
The heiman air quality sensor I have is pushing new data points every 3s and it seems this is blowing up the DB size (~10GB currently)
I use Zigbee2mqtt.

sour shadow
#

You can try changing the minimum report interval to something larger, like 60 seconds

outer plaza
#

How you call switch you need to press and it bounces back turning light?

sour shadow
#

Momentary is one of the terms

outer plaza
#

Ohh, can be

#

I've got 2 zigbee modules one exposes switch_type, second does not

#

First behaves like regular relay, whenever I'm pressing button, it toggles light on, when I'm changing switch state, it turns lights off

#

Second, without switch_type state behaves like my switch is momentaty, when it is not. I't regular on/off switch

#

Is it possible to force this dimmer to act like my in-wall switch

#

So change of in-wall switch state would be on or off

sour shadow
#

Maybe

outer plaza
sour shadow
#

Well, telling us the device was a good starting point 😉

#

Now somebody who has one may be able to help you

outer plaza
#

I guess this device is so niche so nobody would have it, it was integrated with last release tho

#

Is it possible to try manual device integration?

outer plaza
#

After some time of googling, I think it will be easier to convince my girlfriend to change in-wall switches to momentary than to reprogram this dimmer hah

fervent storm
#

I've just installed zigbee2mqtt and migrated some devices over to it from my ZHA setup - problem is, not all the device "actions" seem to be there - for example, where is "Device Offline" in zigbee2mqtt? that I used to use in ZHA?

sour shadow
#

There's not a 1:1 relationship between ZHA and Z2M - something that exists in one may not exist in the other

fervent storm
#

but surely something like a device going offline is standard?

sour shadow
fervent storm
#

i thought availability was a bad idea on battery powered end devices?

sour shadow
#

Did you click the link and read it, or are you just leaping to conclusions again?

cerulean abyss
sour shadow
#

Passive devices (everything that is not an active device, mostly battery powered devices): these devices need to check-in every 25 hours, they cannot be pinged so if they don't they will be marked as offline.

fervent storm
#

yeah, that!

sour shadow
#

Impact to battery life ... clearly zero

fervent storm
#

ohhh i see - so in ZHA even the "passive" devices were communicating every so many hours

#

i thought devices like door sensors only communicated when they were used

sour shadow
#

They'll be reporting in more than that - my Xiaomi devices report hourly, some of the other brands report in every 2 hours, or 3 hours

fervent storm
sour shadow
#

It takes very little power to report their status

wild tapir

would be nice if things connected at all,

I really want to use ZHA since i find it more user friendly than Zigbee2MQTT. but for some reason whenver i connect an ikea tradfri 5 button remote to ZHA the battery dies within a day...

that's what I used to have on my Tradfrie on/off buttons using sonoff zigbee bridge and ZHA - that's the whole reason I switched coordinator to Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus and Z2M

ah yes

#

with Z2M it works fine

#

only updating doesnt work

fervent storm
#

updating OTA?

grand sail
#

yes

#

1 remote isnt up to date

but when i press update it takes 1.5 hours

and even with a new battery it goes to empty

fervent storm
#

oh 😦

but it probably shouldt take 1.5 hours

#

to update a remote

fervent storm
#

my switches took about 1 hour each

zigbee isn't really geared towards large bandwidth xfers

and how much does your battery drain

Its not necessary to update unless you believe there is a functionality added

well i can try updating the remote again

make sure u are right next to the device the remote is connected to

grand sail

yes

#

well

this one is connected directly to the sonoff usb dongl

I'd re-pair the device right next to the dongle and then try the update again

cant i paste pictures here?

it now says 1 hour 53 minutes

no idea mate - I am not a Discord expert by any means

87% battery remaining

we will see

ok - good luck!

thanks

#

Only problem i find with Z2M great that a guy is maintaining it

#

but what if he stops working in it

#

it probably stops workign after a while

sour shadow

Yes, sure... it has a built in self destruct code

Hello (sorry If my english isn't perfect),
I'm new to zigbee, i just buyed a Conbee2 key to be able to use ZIgbee device on my HA-raspberryPI4.
When I try to pair a SonOff BASICZBR3, it's not found (i tryied on ZHA & deCONZ, whereas the key is well recognized).
The LED indicator on the sonoff is flashing like the documentation say that it needs to.
Did you know a particular "famous" issue that can block me like that ?
Thank's in advance

jolly narwhal
#

Well

#

Distance

mighty river
#

For the pairing I have less than a meter

jolly narwhal
#

Then you should be fine

mighty river
#

Maybe that's the Conbee2 that is not working? I don't know how to check that, and maybe if deconz and ZHA recognized that's enough to tell that it's working. deCONZ tells me to update the Conbee2, but anything has changed after that

jolly narwhal
#

Conbee isn't great

You should be running the latest firmware

on what ? Conbee ?

anyone had weird behavior with the new diagnostics change? My aqara leak sensors, all have a device temperature diagnostic, but half display a temp and half don't. And the half that do, I'm suspicious it's correct at all

#

I'm surprised they'd even have a temp sensor, and one reports 20 deg the other 25 deg

#

similar with my aqara magnetic door and window sensors

gaunt forge
#

Try to re-pair them without deleting them in HA first. I‘ve seen the missing entities getting added that way.

#

It's not that the entities are missing, it's adding entities (diagnostic) that I dont think are real?

any reason why part of a sensor (a single device) would have "unknown" reporting for one one part (leak sensor) but the battery would be reporting just fine? running zigbee2mqtt

I don't use ZHA, but I don't think you can tell it to change the domain. You could wrap it in a template switch though

Is that a GPO that then plugs into another GPO? 😂

Dumb question…I have a Hue hub already, is it possible to use it for other Zigbee devices?

#

Or do I need to buy a USB Zigbee adapter?

gaunt forge
#

The Hue hub will only pair to Hue and Friends of Hue stuff.
If you plan on any other Zigbee devices you‘ll need a Zigbee coordinator (usb stick) for that. Make sure you get one based on CC2652

white aurora
near echo
#

Yes. It is the same

white aurora
#

2531 is right out? Must be why they’re 1/5th the price lol

near echo
#

They work, but as you keep adding more devices they performance and range suffers a lot. Hence not advised

white aurora
#

Oh actually I was looking at a 2 pack. $29 for a single Sonoff isn’t bad

near echo
#

Base don where you are the sonoff dongle plus - the new zigbee3.0 is based on cc2652 as well

#

And it's pretty cheap

white aurora
#

Any reason I should look at zwave instead?

#

Or like a combo adapter (if there is one)

near echo
#

Yep that's the one. Pretty expensive from where I buy though

white aurora
#

Oh you mean where you buy from it’s more

near echo
#

Zwave devices are pretty expensive. Moreover in future when matter / thread becomes standard cc2652 will automatically be compatible

white aurora
#

Well I’ll just pull the trigger on the Zigbee then. Thanks.

#

Then I can start swapping off wifi devices. Just too many lightbulbs to have them all on wifi.

#

Zigbee lights seem relatively cheaper, too

near echo
white aurora
#

That’s only $13CAD 😱

near echo
#

Meanwhile you can still continue with your hue and do all automations

white aurora
#

Wish I jumped on one when they were that cheap lol

#

Yea I’ll probably keep the hue stuff for important rooms and lights like the main bedroom and living room. They are higher quality and have more features than some of the others I’ve seen. But no reason to spend that much on white only bulbs.

#

I’m having so much fun automating everything lol

near echo
#

One ypu also have sonoff dongle, you can still control any device to any device since all are entities within HA

#

So you could still be using hue and any new zigbee devices connected to sonoff dongle and still control 1 another thru HA

jolly narwhal
#

The cost of the coordinator is miniscule compared to all the stuff you buy around it anyway

#

And I've even bought three fairly pricy coordinators, and their combined cost isnt even 1/4th of the rest of my mesh

Hi,
I currently have a problem with my IKEA Shortcut Buttons, maybe someone can help (I hope this is the right place):

I have 3 Shortcut buttons. I used them before without Home Assistant and they worked.

Now I connected them to home Assistant.

On is working flawlessly.
On only can single press (no double press no long press)
And one doesn't react at all (it pairs, but no presses are recognised)

Re-configuring fails all the time.

I have no idea what to do.

jolly python
#

How far are they away ( do you have routers?) and which coordinator are you using?

inland ridge
quaint schooner
#

ah, sorry.
I'm using a
SMARTLIGHT CC2652P Zigbee USB Adapter SLZB-02

The 3 buttons are identical (TRADFRI SHORTCUT Button)

I just found this github issue:
https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/1204

Now i get the action for long press etc.
but the one that dost react is unchanged.

quaint schooner
#

ok, after repairing it a few times, it started working again 😅

sorry for the hassle

#

So it seems the leak sensor still won't work even though i've tried triggering it by touching the leads

i think i'm going to remove the device and add it again

I have a Aqara Smart plug. (https://www.aqara.com/eu/smart_outlet.html)

I use a Conbee II and it finds the plug. BUT. It does not find all the information the plug is supposed to give.
I use ZHA.

Problem:
a) Not all information can be shown.
b) I can turn it on and off which is good enough. BUT. after idling for some time HA loose the connection to it. That means. If i manually turn it on and off i can then use it from HA. But after a nights sleep it does not work anymore until i turn it on and off.

Any thoughts?

Does anyone have any issues with hue dimmer v1 on latest z2m? It works after pairing for a short period and then won’t work again unless removed and repaired. Zzh stick

#

Was never an issue on previous version I was running of z2m 1.18. But this is the only device on latest z2m I have issues with. Could possibly be defective the dimmer now for

jolly narwhal
#

No issues here

#

Albeit i only use one of my five

sonic bane
#

I don’t know if I’ve done something wrong migrating from old repo that has me stuck on z2m 1.18 to new repo and z2m 1.23…
Or my device is shot.

#

It’s the only one I have though so difficult to troubleshoot.

It did change from _on to -on a while back

Nope. But this didn’t have with previous version. It’s since being on latest and is the only device to have this behaviour

I've run latest-dev of z2m for over a year

Greetings everyone, Im new in this business that is why I just purchase smart switch (zigbee) by Moes ... and after that I decide to check how to integrate it in has :) Looks like I would need Gateway. don``t want to use cloud connection. I prefer to be local. That is why I would like to ask you which ZigBee hub I should get and how to extend after that the zigbee network ? another hub or something smaller just USB powered ? Im open to suggestions . (Keep in mind that Im new in here and communication with me can be pain :D :D :D since I dont know some/most of the abbreviations that you are using 🙂 )

sonic bane
#

I’ve just reset it again and reconnected. There is a firmware update available so will attempt that also

jolly narwhal
#

The map will tell you

sonic bane
#

It’s connected to a router (ikea spotlight) that spotlight is much further than the hue bulbs in the same room or even the co-ordinator is much closer to the dimmer

#

The map actually looks like quite a mess

jolly narwhal
#

You could do selective pairing

#

Only allow pairing to router xyz

#

I've never had a use for it

sonic bane
#

I will have a play. That could be the issue though!

lilac shadow
jolly narwhal
#

Not all lights are routers

lilac shadow
#

even so, I really dont think routing it is the problem.

#

I read that zigbee2mqtt would allow the plugs to report power usage and temperature and stuff that zha does not allow.

#

Is there any big drawback to change? (more than re-pairing)

lofty junco
#

Hey 🙂 Is there any "native" way to make a hue remote dimmer (that i already linked to my HA) control a cvertain light group? I mean, I guess I can create a script for that, but just asking in advance if there is any "dimmer"-functionality existing already 🙂

Would anyone have a comment on the accuracy of different brands/models of humidity sensor please? I have 3 sensors on the shelf of my workshop. The standalone Screwfix thing says the RH is 41%. The wireless Amazon thing says it's 50%. The Sonoff SNZB-02 says it's 52%. The Sonoff however does definitely have the smallest hole for air to reach the sensor. I don't know which one of them to believe. Am I better buying something else if I want to use it to control a dehumidifier?

Hi everyone. i am using zha with a cc2531 stick. every device works well expect my hue outdoor motion sensor. everytime i put it outside, it looses connection after a day or so. Since i am using it to trigger my outdoor light, this is annoying at latest when you are trying to find the keyhole in the dark. I have no glue why, it seems that my motion sensor disconnects only if it is outside, but not at the same moment i put it outside. It seems that the sensor is okay until a day or so but then suddenly is not responding any more. It is not possible that this is a range issue, since my outdoor light is less than a meter away and acts as router. Any idea how to figure out where the problem is?

austere patio
#

Reset the motion sensor and join it to the mesh in the exact spot where it will end up sitting

my Conbee II is showing an LQI value of 17 and a RSSI value of 21, would this be considered good?

End devices pick a specific parent node and only switch if it goes offline (from what I've seen). If it picked a parent when you joined it indoors, it won't use the light you have outside.

pine swan
#

Turn off all the other ZR devices except for the outside light then trigger the sensor. Should force it to find a new host

What are your other devices? I recall reading something the other day about some bulb or another having trouble with dropping devices it was relaying unless the firmware is updated

Where is the coordinator device itself showing an LQI?

It's connected to my ordroid via a USB 2.0 extension cable

it's showing the exact same values as when I plug it into the USB 3.0 directly

The USB 2.0 is plugged into the USB 3.0 though, but that shouldn't matter, should it?

jolly narwhal
#

It has lqi to itself

austere patio
#

Right, but what would an LQI mean "for the coordinator"? LQI is for one direction of a link between two devices

icy grove
#

yea I don't understand it either lol, that's why I'm so confused

Where are you seeing this?

I'll send a screenshot, it's through the ZHA intergration, if I go to "devices" and click on the coordinator

This is what it looks like

#

Probably just a UI glitch, don't worry about it

so I shouldn't worry about the values my coordinator itself is reporting? xD @austere patio

What about the 2 devices connected to it, is that considered good?

If they work then it's fine

Wondering if anyone have any experience with zigbee device rejoin times for when home assistant has lost power for a couple of hours and comes back up.
Running zha with a conbee II on a rpi4 (using usb 2 port with extender cable) with at the time of writing only one aeotec button (endpoint, smarthings branded). It usually reports (temperature) very frequently (about every 2-5 minutes) and has done so reliably for months, but after power losses it takes anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours before it comes back. Is this "normal" or have I messed up somewhere?

Might be within reason.
If there aren't any mains powered devices to create a mesh.

(or even Zigbee2MQTT, but I'd recommend ZHA over Z2M if you have a ConBee)

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.

It is cheaper but looks more expensive with metal case ;)

Should arrive tomorrow, then pair all of it again... And I can't get one Ikea lightbulb going into pairing mode (but then again i dropped it earlier into a bucket of water...)

Not a good pairing strategy ;)

pine swan
limpid cloud
#

Maybe. most likely just for marketing. But it does look nice, and the unscrewable antenna is one more possibility for experimentation.

Is the device stuck on or next to anything that might block the signal, like metal or a lump of water like a fish tank?

glossy pulsar

So I shall not put it to the fishies?

limpid cloud

Only the water leak sensors ;)

Just saying that something like a fish tank between the transmitter and receiver could be a significant signal blocker

#

as could the thing being on a shelf between pieces of gear with metal cases

inland ridge

Maybe someone can tell me if this is a problem with Zigbee but I have been told that some other sensors really don't work well if they are stuck to PVC windows or doors and there is a piece of metal or metal frame inside that part of the PVC

Oh well, maybe I'll just buy a zigbee stick from the recommended list. Just found out I might just have overpaid a bit by buying the conbee sticks in my country....

pine swan
#

This brings up a question I have. I've seen some devices say that to be paired, they have to be held together. Is this some security mechanism that requires a silly RSSI to make sure the right things get linked or is it to do with some technical aspect of pairing?

inland ridge
#

Well, the manual does say to keep the device within 4,5 meters during pairing. So at less than 2 meters it should be fine?

pine swan
pine swan
inland ridge
#

But the manual is for pairing it with smartthings and I don't think it's certified. They're not listing it as 3.0 certified at least, so that might be the issue.

I just noticed that Z2M recognises my Eco-dim.10 as an Eco-dim.07. The Eco-dim.10 is not listed in the list of supported devices, but the 07 is. Both the 07 and the 10 are dimmers. Could this be a problem, or does every ZigBee dimmer "speak the same language" anyway?

#

Seems to me that Z2M simply sends a sort of "turn light on" message to any odd dimmer anyway

#

The "how to support new devices" page only shows how to tell Z2M what functions are exposed, it doesn't show any special implementations for specific devices

#

So I guess the communication itself is pretty generic?

To answer my own question from earlier, seems like the Eco-Dim modules just talk using bog-standard ZigBee Cluster Library, so the wrong model being detected shouldn't make a difference

It's all got the same cluster IDs, cluster commands, etc

As best I can tell, ZigBee domotics communication is pretty much standardised and well documented

i think HA is more important but what i think is not important in those cases

#

you guys made my day.....i dragged the swap cuz of the possible re-pair .....false alarm as it seems

shadow valley
#

i changed the channel of my zigbee controller.. and now i need to repair my hue light and the remote that came with it

#

how do i do that? i'm not able to control the lights with the remote control.. and i can't reach it over bluetooth

#

use the remote to touchlink reset the bulbs to put them in pairing mode. google the how on that but if its a hue remote should work

shadow valley
#

it says bring the light close to the controller, but that's not possible

#

the light is fixed in the ceiling

#

how can i "use the remote to touchlink reset the bulbs"?

#

it's actually not a bulb, but rather a fixed light

My new Aqara smartplug (connected through ZHA) just went offline, how can I get it back online? It's still plugged into the wallsocket but just hasn't been used for a couple of hours. Also, to prevent this, should I set these numbers higher? (https://gyazo.com/d84106912390d557824b3a1a6f2322a6) The device is acting as a router, does it stop doing that if the device is considered "offline" by ZHA?

Well if it is offline it does nothing

icy grove
#

But the weird thing is

#

if I trigger an automation that includes this switch, it works

#

and then it gets back "online", so the device isn't actually offline

#

because it can still respond to automations

jolly narwhal
#

That sounds weird, but I don't use zha

icy grove
#

I just turned up the "consider devices offline after .. seconds" to 32 hours

#

hopefully that keeps them online 🙂

had a power outage here and after that one zigbee bulb is acting up, removed it from z2m , after that reset the device / pairing mode.
after that z2m only says :

# 
Warning Device '0x60a423fffe0d9ac8' left the network
Info MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/event', payload '{"data":{"friendly_name":"0x60a423fffe0d9ac8","ieee_address":"0x60a423fffe0d9ac8"},"type":"device_leave"}'
#

no interviews showing up ?

jolly narwhal
#

Did you try restarting z2m?

lime locust
#

yeah just did , enabled allow join

#

the lights, in pairing mode , and i removed it earlier , so why is it leaving the network after every reset/pairing attempt ?

#

hmm just checked its config.yaml , device is also gone in its config

#

hmm device leave , ok logical after reset/re-pair, but no interview coming up ...

It's showing that it's in pairing mode, but neither Z2M or ZHA picks it up

What's the best way to relocate a zigbee device? I have a plug I use as a repeater and need to move it. Can I just do so and hit "Reconfigure device" in the Zigbee integration?

#

or do I need to full remove and readd?

What are the cheapest zigbee white lights (standard 60W replacements) right now that are compatible with HA?

#

Right now I can get 6 Sengled bulbs for $60CAD

#

But they are wifi bulbs

rapid skiff
#

I recently got a bunch of the hue rgb bulbs for $30 each because they dim well and work great as standard whites

white aurora
#

Hue is a bit expensive for those types of situations

rapid skiff
#

Two for $25 isn't bad in my opinion

white aurora
#

Whoa where

#

I would pay $12.50/bulb easy

#

I see 2 for $50 on Amazon Canada right now

rapid skiff
#

They are the standard hue bulbs

#

Non ambiance

#

2 for 25 or 4 for 45

Yep, search around and see if you can find them cheaper
