I didn't see a handler for this.

#

(And this would only be if I lose power for my whole house, or a breaker trips.)

#

My plan seems to be foiled, though. There's no unbind_ieee command as part of the ZHA toolkit. Sad trombone.

tropic depot
#

I am not too sure what you are trying to do...

fair mountain
# tropic depot I am not too sure what you are trying to do...

I have Hue lights behind a Zigbee relay. If I turn the relay on, and unbind the relay from itself, then the switch just sends an on/off ZHA event, which I can use to control the Hue lights (or I can bind them to the relay). The problem is if there's a power failure, the relay defaults to off, so I need to detect that the relay no longer has the lights on behind it, bind the relay to itself, turn the relay on, and then unbind the relay from itself.

#

I want to avoid any NEC violations, for example hardwiring the light fixture to bypass the switch.

tropic depot
#

is this a commercial device?

#

or something you are making?

fair mountain
tropic depot
#

in the signature for the device is on/off cluster in both the input and output clusters?

fair mountain
#

I emailed Leviton asking for the Zigbee cluster information to see if there was maybe a manufacturer specific one, but never heard back.

fair mountain
tropic depot
#

ok when the device is decoupled are the events from endpoint 3?

#

and when coupled to the load i assume it leverages endpoint 1 on / off cluster...

#

basically I am wondering if the on/off cluster on endpoint 1 implements the power on state attribute

#

right now this is managed via quirks but will be in core in an upcoming release

fair mountain
#

Sorry still very new to ZIgbee. Do you mean start_up_on_off? Like, setting it to 0x1?

tropic depot
#

yes

#

well not sure for the value

fair mountain
#

When I try to set it I get:

2022-02-23 11:59:47 DEBUG (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.zha.api] Read attribute for: cluster_id: [6] cluster_type: [in] endpoint_id: [1] attribute: [16387] manufacturer: [None] response: [None] failure: [{16387: <Status.UNSUPPORTED_ATTRIBUTE: 134>}],
#

And when I retrieve it, it just returns None.

#

(Was one of the first things I tried, sadly.)

tropic depot
#

try using the mfg code to issue the command

fair mountain
#

I couldn't find anything to rtfm about the manufacturer code

tropic depot
#

the zigbee device signature has it

fair mountain
#

OH! that's what it is

tropic depot
#

click that button in the UI and it will be in the node descriptor

fair mountain
#

the 4251

tropic depot
#

well I can't see it...

#

lol

fair mountain
#

Oh I pasted the signature above

#

4251

#

er.

tropic depot
#

oh yeah

#

sorry long day

#

yes that

fair mountain
#

np. i get it

tropic depot
#

yeah try adding that to the request

fair mountain
#

should I leave it as an integer or convert it to hex?

tropic depot
#

all the same in the end

#

you can leave it

fair mountain
#

same UNSUPPORTED_ATTRIBUTE 😦

tropic depot
#

shucks

#

was worth a shot

fair mountain
#

I emailed them 2 weeks ago, no response

tropic depot
#

not surprising

fair mountain
#

not even sure why they have an email address listed

tropic depot
#

did you start looking at the other issue from yesterday?

fair mountain
#

not yet

#

About having a separate queue for the timed out devices on startup?

tropic depot
#

no worries... I don't think there is a magic way to do this

#

yeah

#

you don't know they are timed out until you know they are timed out

#

😄

fair mountain
#

I was thinking about after the first attempt, punt it to another queue.

tropic depot
#

the code is wrapped in decorators... would require a massive rewrite to do something like that

fair mountain
#

And if that's not possible because you send the retries with the discovery, then set the retries to 1, when it fails, bump it into another queue n-1

tropic depot
#

you will see when you look

#

that said... this may be a non issue soon

fair mountain
#

well im trying to solve my problem from my side by dealing with these relays

#

(but it's bitten me in the ass so much to assume everything in a network will be perfect, always.)

tropic depot
#

I hear ya

fair mountain
#

bumping the semaphores to 4 helped a lot, fwiw

#

went from 5~6 mins down to 2

tropic depot
#

yeah that will help for some coords but it will destroy others

#

it's tough supporting so many radios

fair mountain
#

eventually it gets stuck on timing out devices, though.

#

ah. yeah i can imagine ..

tropic depot
#

from wildly different stacks

fair mountain
#

all the quirks.

#

I just migrated from Phoscon w/ a Conbee II to ZHA w/ ZB 3.0

tropic depot
#

cool

fair mountain
#

Even with the 5 minute startup, ZHA is miles ahead.

tropic depot
#

in some areas and way behind in others

fair mountain
#

If I never have to VNC into a Linux daemon ...

#

Seems like I should just add ieee_unbind to zha-toolkit and call it a day for now

#

my proof of concept works

#

https://paste.pfak.org/TcQH5UL6
I'll have a giant dictionary with mappings between the relays and ZHA groups. If I can read what entities are in a ZHA group .. otherwise ill just keep a list of those as well.

#

I'll just attach an event listener to call_service light on and then call zha_relay_turn on for every light on command, if its in the dictionary

#

and the automation will only run if the light fails to return its onoff attribute.

#

if only Leviton supported StartupOnOff

tropic depot
#

I hear ya

Does a Zigbee network ever change frequency after it's created? If I put a light sensor inside the door on my safe so it is out of contact for a long time when the safe is closed, will it reliably find the network and send the "it's got bright in here" message to HA when the door is opened?

raven jewel
#

I would personally recommend going with a door sensor instead of a light sensor for that

#

Plus you could stick it on the outside.

pine swan
#

Whichever, I would want it inside the safe, out of radio range so it couldn't be tampered with

raven jewel
#

Well, what's the problem you actually want to solve? Or are there two problems?

pine swan
#

I want something that isn't visible from outside the safe that will let HA know if the door is open

sour shadow
#

If it can't reach the mesh in over 24 hours it may never reconnect

raven jewel
#

And you want it to be not visible because..?

pine swan
#

because I don't want anyone who might be opening the safe without my permission to see it stuck on the outside and pull the battery out

pine swan
raven jewel
#

That shouldn't be your only security mechanism though.

#

Studies have shown visual deterrents such as visible sensors to work well, hence fake alarm system signs and cctv cameras being used.

#

Also, I defy anyone to pry an Aqara sensor off a flat surface and get the battery out before it notifies me that it was opened 🤪

#

(Unless they know how it works, in which case, you have a much larger problem because they'll also likely know how to break into the safe)

#

(And probably went around the sensor in the first place)

sour shadow
#

Most sensors have a tamper feature

pine swan
sour shadow
#

Well, Sonoff are junk

raven jewel
#

A vibration/tilt sensor might work well on the door. That's what I'm using on the small cashbox I have squirreled away for spare keys and the like

#

Aqara Zigbee stuff is pretty great, and cheap.

pine swan
#

That's likely a better idea

pine swan
raven jewel
#

You can always spray paint it to match the safe and rely on the theoretical perpetrator's likely lack of observation skills.

#

Because, to be quite honest, if you get someone who knows what they're doing, anything you do can and will be circumvented.

sour shadow
#

Aqara... cheap, reliable, and report hourly

raven jewel
#

I have aqara sensors everywhere, including a vibration one on the chair I'm sitting on

#

It's telling me the chair moved, I've been sat "still" for a good 20 minutes or so, but not so still it didn't notice me.

pine swan
#

Do you know of any that have an external antenna, a mod to fit one or that have an offboard temp/humidity probe so the radio could be outside? I'd like to put a temperature and humidity sensor inside the safe to make sure the contents aren't going rusty

sour shadow
#

Few are designed like that

raven jewel
#

You can hack some with external temperature probes, but then you have to get the probe into the safe...

#

So it'll have a cable between the sensor and the probe. If your things are that sensitive you might need a different solution, rather than a safe.

pine swan
#

The safe is a legal requirement but it wouldn't be hard to drill and grommet a cable into

raven jewel
#

If you're willing to hack the safe, and it doesn't compromise the integrity of it (which I assume with this being a legal requirement, you can verify), you might find a way to modify the door sensor to check the same way.

#

But at that stage, just look for a smart gun safe 🤷

#

What's currently the recommended way to setup zigbee? I'm having some issues with zigbee2mqtt currently especially with aqara light switches. Should I migrate to another option? This has been a problem for a while now for me.

jolly python
#

What are the issues

hot knoll
#

loss of connection and inability to reconnect them in general even if I reset them they show up during pairing but then the switch still behaves as if it is unpaired

#

distance to the antenna does not influence this

jolly python
#

Is the stick attached to a usb 2.0 extension cable?

#

And which coordinator are you using

hot knoll
#

it is connected to a very short 180 degree adapter but that has always been the case

jolly python
#

On a usb3.0 port?

#

That can cause interference

hot knoll
#

I'll have to check if it's on a 3.0 port

jolly python
#

Better buy a long extension cable to be sure that it is far enough away from the usb ports, which coordinator are you using?

hot knoll
#

coordinator is the stick or the software? zigbee2mqtt and a TI CC25 something something let me look it up

jolly python
#

Coordinator is the stick

hot knoll
#

CC2531

jolly python
#

Then you should replace it, they are known for making problems after a time

obsidian sandalBOT
#

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

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

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

hot knoll
#

ohh ... did not know that

#

I didn't try them yet but I have two zigbee 3.0 plus dongles by sonoff are these usable

jolly python
#

Yes

hot knoll
#

ahh on the list

#

ok guess I'm taking appart my home automation base soon

jolly python
#

And get you some router if you not allready have some

hot knoll
#

thank you @jolly python

#

I think my ikea bulbs act as routers or do you mean something different?

jolly python
#

Yes they are routers 👍

hot knoll
#

hmm I wanted to show my current base but no image uploads ... imgur it is I guess

jolly python
#

Yes

hot knoll
#

Not the most current photos switched from openHAB a year or so ago

#

In the meantime I've switched to a RPI4

#

Now that the stick probably won't fit inside anymore is probably as good a reason as any to finally start building a real server.

jolly python
#

Nice

hot knoll
#

hmmm it might not be the best solution but seems that sonoff dongle could fit inside until I get arround to building a real server

jolly python
#

But if you still have problems try a extension cord

pine swan
hot knoll
#

I will thanks again

hot knoll
#

well covid has already delayed that server build a whole bunch ...

austere patio
#

Make sure to physically unplug or completely power down the CC2531 if you're having problems with it

#

I don't think Z2M resets it on serial reconnect

hot knoll
#

ok found some cable so I can extend the antenna a little guess that's a weekend project secured

gloomy pivot
#

so I often have ZB lights that come back on after I turn them off... all integrated via z2m, and I set them to QoS of 2 thinking that would help. am I thinking about this the wrong way?

fair mountain
gloomy pivot
#

its definitely possible its adaptive lighting

#

however, they will be physically on, but report as off

#

front porch light is on, but HA shows it is off

#

i have four single bulbs that often do this (two sengleds and two innrs), and a group of three sengleds that does it too

#

always it will report as off, but be physically on

#

the group is not a ZB group, but an HA one, so should be separate commands for each bulb

#

i think lol

fair mountain
#

Ah I get the following in history:

Turned on by service light.turn_off
Turned off by service light.turn_off

#

In a row

I've deleted a device from Phoscon but the entities are still "active" in HA. Is that normal? I want to get rid of them. Using the deCONZ addon.

ivory hound
#

did you restart

#

?

#

but for deCONZ anything is normal to me

I found that after some time my aqara cube keeps being unlinked from router/coordinator in map view, but it is not far from it. Repairing helps, but only for a moment. Anyone had similar problem? I have CC2652P coordinator and additional sonoff usb dongle router from itead. I have such problem only with aqara cubes. My door sensor from sonoff seems to be unlinked when looking at zigbee map, but it works. Cubes dont work :(

how is your mesh looking?

Is there a way to get ZHA to reload a device type WITHOUT restarting HomeAssistant?

fair mountain
#

Can I use wildcards for device_config?

Still there after reloaded integration

Hi! I got one of this blind motors (I think) https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS0601_cover.html as it's branded A-OK AM25 but it comes with battery.
It only has one button, I tried to press 3 times the button, but nothing flashes specially in the device and zigbee2mqtt doesn't discover it.
In the other hand, it comes with a remote controller, that I can pair successfully if I just hold for a sec the button, but doing the same doesn't make it discoverable in zigbee2mqtt.

#

Anybody has any idea of what could I do?

fair mountain
#

Once you reload you can delete the entity because its no longer exists

lean echo
pine swan
lean echo

umm let me try

or turn it on by holding the button down for a long time

lean echo

#

I'll the one to copy to another remote just in case, but I think I tried even to reset it fully

#

nothing either

#

I also deleted the remote just in case

#

sometimes I manage to enter a mode that isn't documented when it starts flashing for like 5s

#

but z2m doesn't find it anyway

#

I have a sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb dongle plus as my coordinator with latest fw and using ZHA in HA. I just got 3 more that I flashed with the router fw. The fw notes said it just automatically connects but I don't see it in my visual map or anything. Is there something I need to do to get the extra ones to bond to the coordinator?

jolly python
#

Have you permitted joining through the coordinator?

austere patio
#

You don't need to call the service manually, just click the blue "add devices" button. You'll probably have to unplug and plug the routers back in if they actually join the first network they find.

supple iris
#

I have a bunch of the sonoff smart switches hardwired already in, and temp sensors. Which I had to add by clicking the blue "Add Device" button. I tried doing that with the routers but they never showed up

#

Should they show up there when clicking "Add Device"?

austere patio
#

Yes

supple iris
#

ok thanks, I'll keep trying that, maybe I need to reset them manually or something

#

That worked! yay, dunno why it wasn't working last night

#

IKEA 5 button shows up with 3 entities . Not sure how to use blue print .

#

Any helpful info on how to use it? In HA

jolly python
stoic jasper
#

@jolly python I download a blueprint that is created to work with ikea5button but upon editing the blueprint , ikea5button is not available in remote

#

Available in zigbee2mqtt with entities

jolly python
#

The action entity is not available?

stoic jasper
#
  1. Action 2. Battery 3. Update available
#

Can been seen unders zigbee2mqtt

#

But not inside blueprint when I try to edit

#

Not sure what I am missing

jolly python
#

They are not listed under development tools -> entities?

stoic jasper
#

They do

jolly python
#

Wich blueprint are you using

#

And wich remote

#

Llink to zigbee2mqtt pls

stoic jasper
#

Niro1987

jolly python
#

The blueprint is only for zha

#

Not zigbee2mqtt

stoic jasper
#

Tried this one too! But no luck.

#

@jolly python thanks for info

jolly python
#

Probably you have to deactivate legacy mode

lean echo
jolly python
#

maybe something is not okay with the module

#

everything else is working with the conbee?

lean echo
#

yes I have more than 20 bulbs and they all work

#

I'm even trying with another blind motor in case the one I was checking is faulty

#

but so far no changes

jolly python
#

you could try to let the blind join through an other router then the coordinator

lean echo
#

my first try was close to some of the bulbs

#

now I'm trying close to the coordinator

#

the weird thing is in z2m it says that pressing 3 times I should get a blue lightning, but I don't get that at all

jolly python
#

you can force joining through an other device by clicking the right arrow next to the permit join button (if you use zigbee2mqtt)

lean echo
#

and doing the process of pairing the remote controller doesn't make it to show up on z2m

lean echo
#

nothing either

#

somehow I'm starting to think that this device might only work with radio?

jolly python
#

Was worth the try

lean echo
#

the pairing process with the remote seams very simple and straight forward

#

so I might been scammed... it's the only thing I can think of

jolly python
#

How is the remote connected

lean echo
#

I just hold the only button in the motor for 1s and then press the up arrow on the remote and it pairs

#

oh no worries! I'm just crying out loud because I'm spending my whole evening with no progress whatsoever! 😆

#

I'm sorry I can't help you, I started straight away with zigbee2mqtt as I saw it looked like to have better support for devices thatn zha

#

maybe you could try and see if it works for you? I think a saw some youtubers saying that sometimes z2m gets more stuff exposed than zha

#

ah no... I have z2m with conbee II as well

#

for an experiment I'll get a backup (just in case), disable zha from addons (assuming you're running the OS) and then install mosquitto and z2m and whatever was needed

#

there are tutorials all over the internet so it shouldn't be difficult, it wasn't for me at least

jolly python
lean echo
#

yes, there's documentation but only about pairing the remote

#

I tried all the stuff around that and no luck

#

at least makes me feel kinda good that I'm not the only lost one LOL

jolly python
#

Kek

lean echo
#

dunno... I'm very new on this... I started a couple months ago... is conbee II a not so good coordinator?

#

I'm running out of ideas TBH

jolly python
#

No not a recommended one for zigbee2mqtt

#

But if it is the reason that you cannot pair the blind is another question

#

I'm a little lost here

#

I've got a bunch of sengled ZigBee bulbs and a couple Philips hue bulbs

#

But for whatever reason, I can't get like this ONE 16th sengled bulb to pair

#

I tried resetting it, no difference, tried getting a replacement still no difference

#

I first had issues pairing it several weeks ago, but I just put it aside and the rest of that box of bulbs THEN paired fine afterwards

#

Is there a way to get more detail on what isn't working?

#

I do have about 40 zigbee devices in the network, total

austere patio
runic hazel
#

I think - 3 ?

#

some motion sensors, temp & humitidy sensors, etc as well that are part of that 40 devices

austere patio
#

Sengled bulbs act as end devices so they use up entries in the routers' child tables. You may be maxing out your few actual routers.

runic hazel
#

yeah - was just trying to work out how many of each I have

austere patio
#

What coordinator are you using?

runic hazel
#

1x coordinator
5x router (3x phillips bulbs, 1x Tradfri Wall-Outlet, 1x Tradfri Signal Repeater)
33x end-device

#

CC2251 CC2531

austere patio
#

CC2531 can't handle many end devices (15 I think?) so it's probable that the two Hue bulbs only can handle 16 or 20 children

runic hazel
#

this seems to think the CC2531 can handle 40, but just hearsay

austere patio
runic hazel
#

blergh

austere patio
#

Get another router and stick it somewhere, that's likely your problem

runic hazel
#

yeah - I just moved and adding more bulbs once I got to the new location

#

so I bet I'm just fully tapped out

#

PLUS - I would really prefer to not have the Phillips bulbs involved in normal operation at all - if possible

#

so that if someone flips a light switch - it doesn't break random function elsewhere

#

I think I have a ZZH! still on order, just not in yet, and I imagine it is more powerful and might support more too, once it comes in

#

I DO think I have another CC2531 somewhere in a box atm - I think I can reflash that to being a router instead of a controller

#

yeah - this whole thing is kind of a mess

supple iris
#

looks way better than mine lol

runic hazel
#

to be fair - I did drag everything into relatively sorted out positions - which helps

daring galleon
#

is it normal for hue bulbs to "disconnect" and reconnect from home assistant for a few seconds hundreds of times per day? seems like about 95% of my HA logs are this.

If I flash my main coordinator by removing it, how do I reset the network? Or do I need to do anything

Started to have things dropping out or exceptionally slow since I hit the refresh topography option inside of ZHA, made me think to flash my coordinator and to reset the whole Zigbee network (how?)

what's a good ethernet based hub? i'm using the sonoff 3.0 dongle plus and even with a 3m extension, the signals to my devices are like, sub 100.
just had to re-pair everything cus my zigbee network died and i went ahead to flash the sonof f3.0 to the latest (and found out i do have to re-pair everything after that)

#

and the signal is still bad

south stream
#

havent tried to roll back to the old version, i am on core-2022.2.9

jolly python
#

have you watched out for interferences with wlan?

south stream
#

i did change the channel a year back and its been stable till last week

ivory hound
#

@south stream this can be interference if something changed in your home recently or it can be something introduced in the update you did last week

#

did you update last week?

jolly python
#

sorry ment CrazyBlue

ivory hound
#

@midnight robin worked before or the first time you try it?

#

also what do you use?

#

integration? coordinator?

jolly python
#

Nortek HUSBZB-1 and zha (he already wrote that)

ivory hound
#

i know that nortek is old stuff

#

no idea how it works with zha

midnight robin
midnight robin
jolly python
#

yes wifi

midnight robin
ivory hound
#

you can't change ch without repair

midnight robin
#

I didn't manually change ZHA's channel, but i just switched my wifi to channel 5. I think ZHA's default is 15 or something

ivory hound
#

if you updated ha

south stream
ivory hound
#

then ha updates with zha

jolly python
#

to 5? defuq

midnight robin
# jolly python to 5? defuq

just a random pick. wanted to check my wifi channel conflicts but i realised i no longer own an android phone to check. iOS app didn't work

jolly python
#

well you should choose 1 or 6

sour shadow
ivory hound
#

channel 5 is around 15 zigbee

#

so is interference

jolly python
midnight robin
#

oh wait. i didn't hit update on my router, so it's still on auto channel

#

let me try 6

ivory hound
#

nooo

jolly python
#

on what is it now

ivory hound
#

lolol

midnight robin
#

eh. @jolly python said 1 or 6

ivory hound
#

move your wifi to ch 1

midnight robin
jolly python
#

1 or 6 makes no difference if you on 15 with zigbee

ivory hound
#

i bet you different

jolly python
jolly python
#

with one you are in the right sideband lob of wifi with 6 you are in the left sideband lobe

ivory hound
#

@midnight robin ch 1 see what happens

midnight robin
midnight robin
ivory hound
#

@jolly python if he is on 40 mhz the interferes like hell

#

so yeah

midnight robin
#

my channel width is also auto, so not sure if it's 20 or 40 mhz. doesnt' auto work on a device to device basis? not very sure about networking stuff

sour shadow
#

You can get software for your mobile to scan, but auto is bad

#

Set it to 20

ivory hound
#

it does but you have no control over it on auto

midnight robin
#

eh. not sure if it matters but. my storeroom is also a bomb shelter (think metal, no idea if there's lead or not..don't think so). I stuck the dongle out using a 3metre usb extension cable cause my NAS is sitting inside)

midnight robin
#

would paste pic if i could but i think no pics in this channel haha

#

okay 20MHz and Channel 1..will see how things work

jolly python
#

use an imageshare site

midnight robin
#

That’s the bomb shelter’s ventilation hole 😂 hopefully that’s far away enough.

jolly python
#

looks okay

jolly python
midnight robin
#

ah..yeah. anyhow switched all APs to 1/20MHz, and will see how things go. i read somewhere the zigbee network stabilizes itself after a week or so?

#

sounds like magic

#

haha

fair mountain
#

Anyone manage to get Hue tap to work with ZHA? I see there is preliminary 'green power' support ..?

austere patio

#

People reported problems getting the packages installed because HA OS doesn't ship with a C compiler anymore but I think you can do virtualenv -p 3 --system-site-packages venv to get it to re-use the currently installed ones. Much easier if you have a second computer or want to try setting up a new Docker container within HA OS: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-cli/pull/2#issuecomment-1043406307

lean echo
#

Super! I'll give it a try as soon as I receive it on Sunday hopefully 😁

grim igloo
#

so i've preordered a yellow and have a bunch of hue bulbs and a few motion sensors. anything i need to prep for when switching over from hue hub to zha with the yellow? from what i have read zigbee2mqtt doesnt work with yellow so zha is my best bet right?

fair mountain
fair mountain
grim igloo
fair mountain
#

it was painless, except sometimes some devices needed to be reset with the remote

#

and I cant use my hue tap

grim igloo
fair mountain
#

like 4 out of my 90 bulbs

#

or 100 bulbs

#

of course the 4 were ones I needed to get a ladder out for ...

#

what was not painless was the aqara sensors

#

such POS

grim igloo
#

i thought those were highly recommended these days

fair mountain
#

they're cheap

grim igloo
#

the motion ones were featured in a video by hookup dude

fair mountain
#

they suck at pairing, they don't migrate if the device they're paired with disappears

#

they don't 'mesh'

#

and if they get low battery they start doing weird behaviour

grim igloo
#

ah

fair mountain
#

(I enjoy watching "The hookup" for entertainment value. Just like I enjoy watching LTT for entertainment..)

#

just search this channel for all the issues have with Aqara ..

grim igloo
#

ltt lol

#

im gonna need you to turn in your man card

fair mountain
#

what does that even mean

#

@tropic depot Have you ever had behaviour with ZHA, where you hit "Add devices to this device", it searches .. nothing returns, but then you go back to the device filter for ZHA and the device has been added? I seem to consistently get this.

#

(Speaking of aqara devices.)

tropic depot
#

device would have to be joining right at the tail end of the window

#

or something is broken

fair mountain
#

nah there's like 30 seconds left, probably 'something is broken'

#

i mean the aqara devices i kinda want to run over with my car, but ive seen this behaviour consistently wtih them..

raven jewel
#

I found Aqara devices can be a bit special, but Zigbee2MQTT is rock solid with them

lilac wharf
fair mountain
#

I think z2m would do itself a favour if there was a tool to migrate from ZHA to z2m.

austere patio
#

Not really possible, they store different information about devices

grim igloo
fair mountain
#

I think so? Looks like both work ..

grim igloo
#

"what's stopping you from using Z2M anyway? Ah I guess there's currently only experimental support for Silicon Labs chips"

lilac wharf
#

Oh right, I forgot that it has that SiLabs module

grim igloo
#

so then i should expect like alpha levels of support at this point?

lilac wharf
#

You can still use z2m just not necessarily with that module

fair mountain
#

I thought my Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 order from Aliexpress wasn't going to come for a couple months, so I ordered a 2 pack off of Amazon. Now I Have 3.. Any thoughts on what I could do with the other 2? 😄

grim igloo
austere patio
#

It should still work, people use it. Z2M just focuses more on the CC2652.

lilac wharf
#

Maybe. It's experimental

grim igloo
#

the only reason im looking at moving off hue hub is i've hit the point where it's too many devices for the hue hub to handle.. so figured this was a decent way to swap over to controlling them myself

fair mountain
#

HA is experimental 😉

fair mountain
#

which makes me want to switch back to the hue hub.

grim igloo
#

that's pretty fucky

fair mountain
#

yea

austere patio
#

Are you using a Conbee?

fair mountain
#

no

austere patio
#

What coordinator?

fair mountain
#

Sonoff Zigbee 3.0

austere patio
#

Zigbee group commands or HA light groups/controlling individual lights?

fair mountain
#

running CC1352P2_CC2652P_launchpad_coordinator_20211217

#

Zigbee group commands

austere patio
#

Try with a non-Zigbee light group. The one downside of group addressing is that commands can "bounce around" for a few seconds, since they're broadcasts.

fair mountain
#

ok ill give that a shot.

austere patio
#

But you shouldn't see two of them conflict...

fair mountain
#

which can cause them to turn back on? I thought it was adaptive lighting, so I disabled it, but its still happening.

#

I dont even see anything obvious in the zigpy logs

austere patio
#

Enable ZHA debug logging if you want to figure it out, hard to tell without context

fair mountain
#

let me look at the logs

#

anything in particular I should be looking for? (initial look.. doesnt look good)

austere patio
#

Upload the minute or so surrounding the event and I can try to take a look. Not really sure.

grim igloo
#

i've looked at the pinned recommendations and it's hard to make a decision :x

fair mountain
#

I have 2 Raspbee II's, 2 cc2531s, 2 zbbridge (which im now using as routers)

grim igloo
#

i was really hoping not to have to deploy multiple devices like i have with 2.4ghz wifi :/

#

figured something stronger than the hue hub in a central spot couldnt be worse

austere patio
#

You'll have to use routers of some kind, either in the form of existing mains-powered devices like bulbs or outlets, or repurposed coordinators flashed with router firmware

grim igloo
#

by default arent the hue bulbs going to repeat though?

austere patio
#

Yeah, they're routers

grim igloo
#

i understand at some point too many hops is gonna be a problem

austere patio
#

How many routers and battery-powered end devices do you have?

grim igloo
#

but i've pretty much replaced every bulb and dont plan on buying anymore so i hoped my ~50 bulbs would be good on one

#

3 motion sensors like 45 bulbs and two dimmer remotes

austere patio
#

That's pretty tiny, you shouldn't run into any firmware or runtime limits

fair mountain
grim igloo
austere patio
#

The only difference between those three options is like $10 and your time so give them all a try 😆

grim igloo
#

trying to spend the time now instead of later after killing my working zigbee hue hub network now

#

lol

austere patio
#

If you're daring, you can theoretically "take over" the Hue hub network if you use a sniffer to capture the network info

#

The Yellow's Zigbee radio can act as a Zigbee sniffer so you just start capturing, join a new device so the Hue hub sends its network key, and then have everything you need to "become" the Hue hub from the perspective of a device on the network.

grim igloo
#

interesting

#

that could be fun but i'm not sure i want to go down that road.. i have enough things i already tinker with at home lol

austere patio
grim igloo
#

plus i think the hue hub is already passed its "limit"

#

i have noticed as i've gotten past 40 devices the bulbs dont all turn on at same time like they used to in a room

#

that wouldnt go away in your scenario

austere patio
#

It probably will if it's just a Hue hub limitation. There's no difference in functionality Zigbee-wise between the Hue's current network and a new one you create with a new Zigbee radio, it's all in how you send requests.

fair mountain
grim igloo
#

i've read zigbee pro overlaps with 2.4ghz but i dont think that's what the hue hub is using. i am using 1/6/11 between three aps spread out across the house

sour shadow
#

Zigbee Pro is the same 2.4 GHz slice as other Zigbee, but also adds support for the sub-GHz bands (ISM bands)

fair mountain
#

They also have their own proprietary communication protocol that isnt part of zigbee spec.

grim igloo
#

i wouldn't have come to that conclusion myself without this chat

fair mountain
#

the Hue hub has a 50 device limit for a reason, its not because Philips wanted to sell you multiple hubs lol ..

#

its super underpowered

austere patio
#

50 bulbs is not a large network, many people using HA have 100+ devices. Some have 200+.

fair mountain
#

I have 116 devices on my zigbee network and its super responsive, other than the turning lights randomly back on ..

grim igloo
#

well i already invested in hue bulbs before i realized i prefer zwave so i have now started installing zwave plus s2 light switches and plan to expand that network not zigbee. but figured might as well invest a bit of money into hue to get bulbs working a little quicker

fair mountain
#

well at least you can have them all on HA

grim igloo
#

yeah

fair mountain
#

I got tired of updating teh Hue hub firmware every time I opened the app

#

thats why I finally moved off of Hue lol

grim igloo
#

got smart bulb mode on switches working fine with hass and automating bulbs

fair mountain
#

nice

#

I just got a bunch of Leviton decora zigbee switches

#

they allow you to detach the relay via an unbind, bu they default to power off so anything behind them will turn off if theres a power failure. trying to get around that by binding the light switch to itself and then unbind, but ZHA and ZHA toolkit only support binding a device as a service and not unbinding 😦

grim igloo
#

for the zwave switches i have there are options for after power loss that seem to work ok

#

not the same with zigbee?

pine swift
#

would it be a terrible idea to use both ZHA and zigbee2mqtt in the same home-assistant setup? I'm considering trying to switch from ZHA to mqtt since it looks like some devices are better supported in the latter

austere patio
fair mountain
austere patio
#

Try enabling more verbose logging for HA Core itself. From the ZHA/zigpy logs, nothing out of the ordinary is happening.

#

I'm aware - I was about to order a second zigbee coordinator to replace my older EZSP one

and it only started happening when I switched from Hue hub to ZHA

Evening all.. I run a TubesZB Ethernet based CC2652P2 coordinator.. I'ts currently running 20210120 firmware.. i see that the latest version is 20211217.. I am currently having issues (i know.. if it aint broke) but i'm wondering if the firmware has been upgraded.. should i be upgrading too? the firmware has been out a while now so i would assume it's stable..

austere patio
slender thicket
#

sorry.. that should of read "i am currently NOT having issues".. having said that i did have to reboot the coordinator recently to set a value on my energy monitor.. otherwise it just error'd out

#

i've seen the changelog.. Tube sent me the link via email (i can never find the damn things myself).. and there seems to have been a few fixes around Aqara E1 devices (which i don't have)..but there's also stuff like increasing he memory heap.. and i do't know how important these things are

austere patio
#

Nothing drastic changes between firmware releases, just minor bugfixes and tweaks here and there. If you aren't having problems I wouldn't worry about it.

slender thicket
#

I'm running Z2M for this coordinator

#

i use a sonoff zigbee hib for ZHA

#

do i need to worry about the backup . restore if i'm using z2m?

#

i've swapped out coordinators before with z2m and had no issues.. everything just connects back fine

#

if there's no real need to upgrade then i likely wont.. i just dont want to get to the point where (like with tasmota) at some point you have to jump through several versions to get to the latest

molten linden
#

Don’t think that will be an issue with zigbee/z2m/zstack. And as long as you have a clean z2m start you should have a backup in the z2m config folder so it will restore after a fw upgrade. Again if it isn’t broke don’t mess with it (unless you are bored 😂)

i'm not that bored 🙂 ill leave it until i have issues

How should I know what to write in fromZigbee, toZigbee and exposes sections of the .js file?
As of now I looked at simmilar bulb (that is what Stephan van Rooij suggest in the article).When I try to read something, like OnOff, then It answears me, but When I try to Write Something I get an error like:
Error Publish 'set' 'write' to '0xa4c1385178629cf7' failed: 'Error: Write 0xa4c1385178629cf7/1 genOnOff({"onOff":0}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":true,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Status 'READ_ONLY')'

#

I suppose turning the device on and off should not be read only, so I am doing something wrong

gilded kayak
#

Am I able to run ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT concurrently off the same stick? I've been getting cannot lock port errors and I'm wondering if that's why. I have 1 device that doesn't install entities in ZHA so I am trying Zigbee2MQTT

austere patio
gilded kayak
mellow geode
gilded kayak
# mellow geode Just wondering, with what device do you have issues and ZHA?

I have 4 zigbee curtain rails. 3 are manuf: _TZE200_xaabybja and work fine. the 4th is manuf: _TZE200_rmymn92d and it doesn't install entities. I tried to do a local custom quirk (because I essentially already have the same device) and I was still having trouble. There's git requests in to add the sig, I was just trying to see what I could do to make it happen since I seem so close.

mellow geode
#

For the custom quirk, you added the manufacturer + name to MANUFACTURER_INFO (or whatever that's called), put the new quirk in a custom directory in the /config directory, added the custom quirk directory to the Home Assistant config and re-paired the device? (You probably don't have to remove it from ZHA, but just re-pair the device by resetting the device and allowing joins)
Then, did you check that the device actually grabbed the custom quirk? (That's shown at the end of the "signature" of the device and a few other places)

#

Ah, I see two issue regarding that and other similar devices (#1294 and #1245)

gilded kayak
#

Definitely wasn't picking it up after that. there's a few things that could be wrong not limited to my ability to know what I'm doing with a custom quirk

mellow geode
#

Restart Home Assistant (make sure that something like the following is added to your config):

zha:
  custom_quirks_path: /config/custom_zha_quirks/

The tuya folder from the ZIP should be copied into the custom_zha_quirks folder in your /config folder.

#

After restarting Home Assistant, allow joins from ZHA, reset the device, so it can rejoin.

#

Then see
(1) if the quirk is even applied to the device (can be done by checking the signature)
(2) if the entities for the device are correctly added
(3) if the entities are available and the device can actually be controlled

mellow geode
gilded kayak
gilded kayak
mellow geode
#

Oh, that's not great. Can you DM me the Home Assistant log file? (Of course, you can remove any confidential information)

gilded kayak
mellow geode
#

Just adding/removing custom quirks shouldn't kill your network though. At most, if a quirk is faulty, it should stop ZHA from correctly starting

Hi everyone i am having trouble with setting up my Raspbee 2 on a Raspberry 3 B+ running the Homeassistant operating system

#

At this point I am not even sure that the Raspbee 2 is even online and i have no idea how to find out

#

What I have done so far:
Edit the config.txt
enable_uart=1
dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt

Installed the git hub deconz integration via URL

Now deconz seems to be running fine and it has found a gateway and I can search for lights et cetera but as i cant connect to any devices and they dont show up i am confused and not even sure i have a connection with my raspbee 2

cerulean abyss
#

But if deconz has found a gateway then it should be there

#

Also I presume you’re putting the light into pairing mode before searching?

lime bane
#

I am trying to connect the lidl plug

lime bane
cerulean abyss
#

Anything that identifies what it could be. Eg dresden (think that’s the manufacturer?), conbee, deconz, etc.

#

I don’t have one so no clue what it could show up as

lime bane
#

Well, first things first.
I have a connection to a Gateway via Phoscon Web App.
I want to make sure that this device is online first so I can go on from here.

lofty junco

hey 🙂 i have a zigbee switch (from philips hue) which has 4 keys: ON, OFF, + and -.
I want to bind them in HA like this:

  • Pressing ON key makes light A go on
  • Pressing OFF makes light A go off
  • Long-Pressing ON makes lights A+B+C on
  • Long-pressing OFF makes ALL lights go off
  • pressing the + and - keys should increase/decrease the intensity on light A by 10% each time.

question 1: Is my thinking correct that for the + and - buttons i need to listen to the basically "keydown" event while for the on-off buttons i need to wait for the "release"-events? Because HA cannot know if i will hold down the key for a sec when it's "pressed in"?
question 2: Does increasing a light also makes it go on if it was completely turned off (by voice command or so) before? Or do i additionally set the state to "on" when it was "off" before?

uneven ruin
#

@lofty junco for question 2: yes intensity is a form of the on command so it will turn on

#

question 1: all depends on the specific device and I have no idea on that one

jolly python
#

You could also use short press but then lamp A goes on and after a certain time(if you still press) A B C goes on. I would suggest you to try it out and then you will see if it works the way you think

lofty junco
#

ah, many thanks 🙂 for the + and - buttons i will not bind a holding-action, so i guess I can use the "press" and not "release" there then (?). This is the remote: https://www.kandysoft.de/wp-content/uploads/prod_dimm-1.png
For the on/off I will go for the "release" events and then i should be fine. The time between press and release on a short-press should be so minimal, that it doesn't look really "delayed" in comparison i guess

jolly python
#

Yes press should be fine, the delay depends on how long you hold the button, cause it does the action then if you release

#

Dunno what you use ( z2m , zha or else) but there are different blueprints for this remote

lofty junco
#

zha

#

will look into blueprints then, but i guess creating a basic automation for that is also not very complex, right?^^

havent worked with blueprints yet in HA ^^°

Its so simple to use a blueprint, that i would first try that

# jolly python Its so simple to use a blueprint, that i would first try that

added the blueprint and added an automation (that was really very easy :3) but now it tells me in the automations-tab, that onl automations with a unique ID can be debugged and the toggle to activate that automation is disabled because of that. But looking into my "automations.yaml" file there is an id:

id: '1645970214440'
  alias: Remote Flur Unten
  description: ''
  use_blueprint:
    path: EPMatt/philips_324131092621.yaml
    input:
      integration: ZHA
      controller_device: c788bba94ca0b9c1c4aadef923040db3
      helper_last_controller_event: input_text.text_philips_remote_dimmer_flur_unten_last_controller_event
      action_button_on_short:
<shortended here>
jolly python
#

Use pastebin or else to show entire code of the automation

lofty junco
#

think i messes up even more, trying to remove that automation now and restarting server. after that i will just create a dummy automation for that blueprint and try to see whats going on there^^°

The action entity of the remote

#

Okay not quite sure, i have just used it with zigbee2mqtt

lofty junco
#

ok, recreated it without any action and now it works, i mean, it's not disabled. will try to add actions now step by step and see if it breaks at some point

#

for dimming the lights i can also use the light.turn_on service to decrease the light value, the light will go fully off when the value reaches 0, right?

#

whoho, it works! 😄 thanks @jolly python :3

If you find a program / firmware, then yes

unreal flicker
# near echo If you find a program / firmware, then yes

i'll obviously need some custom firmware on an MCU talking to it, that part is easy
the unknown part, is how easy it will be to get the xbee and zigbee devices to form a network and connect, is it a mode in the xbee? is it a new firmware update to it? how much of the protocol is automated and hidden from view?

near echo
#

The zcl format is backward compatible. So if the firmware follows the zb specs then it will be like any other device

#

You would have to follow adding some cobfig in z2m - just follow unsupported devices

i also dont have a zigbee bridge for home-assistant yet, but i could just use an xbee and a usb uart to make one?

Hi All, anyone has encountered this error before? Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-02-27 21:24:06: Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)

Sounds like a corrupt ZIP

unreal flicker
austere patio
#

It just talks to the module over serial

unreal flicker
#

the docs say it only works with series-2 and series-3 radios

austere patio
#

The docs aren't always accurate, those are just the tested adapters. If yours exposes the same serial API, it'll work.

unreal flicker
#

ah

#

it also says the S2 modules need a special firmware that is capable of being a coordinator

#

while S3 just needs newer firmware, implying its able to switch modes at runtime

orchid elbow
austere patio
#

Unzips fine for me

#

Are you downloading it directly with curl? GitHub is probably serving you HTML.

orchid elbow
#

wget yes

austere patio
#

Try https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmware/blob/master/coordinator/Z-Stack_3.x.0/bin/CC1352P2_CC2652P_other_coordinator_20211217.zip?raw=true

orchid elbow
#

Will try, thanks

austere patio
#

I don't think re-flashing your coordinator will directly help with your error though

#

Things don't usually just lose their firmware

orchid elbow
#

I know...

austere patio
#

Have you tried physically unplugging it?

orchid elbow
#

Yes, i installed it on another rpi with ha and same error

#

I never put the coordinator in flash mode, so i agree it shouldn't be the issue here

austere patio
#

If you can get into the bootloader to flash it then it won't hurt, Z2M will restore a network backup

#

Though it shouldn't get into a state where the adapter doesn't respond to a simple PING request

orchid elbow
#

How can I ping it?

austere patio
#

Z2M does it on startup to check if the port works: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms)

orchid elbow
#

Ah, okay

#

According to Z2M docs:
Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms
2 common reasons of this error:

  1. The port of your serial adapter changed. Check this to find out the port of your adapter.
  2. If you are using a CC2530 or CC2531; it is a common issue for this adapter to crash (due to its outdated hardware). Reflashing the firmware should fix the problem. If it happens often consider flashing the source routing firmware or upgrade to a more powerful adapter.
#

In my case its none

austere patio
#

The port is active so the USB-serial converter works, it's probably the CC2652 that's not responding (or some part of your board broke)

orchid elbow
#

Hmm, ill try to reflash see what happens

#

My last hope

austere patio
#

Try connecting to it first with the utility: cc2538-bsl.py -p /dev/serial/by-id/...

#

It should print out some basic info

#

Is there a way to know how many dbm is ZHA setting my Sonoff USB Dongle 3.0? i would prefer to set it to 20bm, but the only way i could find to achieve that is using zigbee2mqtt(which i dont like)

tame helm
#

Conbee Stick 2 states it has compatability with these switches:

IKEA TRÅDFRI     On/off remote control     Remote control with two buttons ```
#

Is the on/off remote control (two buttons) mentioned there these ones:

#

They're impossible to connect with hue hub and ikeas own hub from what i understand, they only support pairing directly with ikea bulbs from what i understand

#

That's what i throught at least, i have like 4-5 of them in a drawer somewhere because i got them with a kit thing in ikea when i bought bulbs and throught they were useless

To set to max you’d do: ```

So, I am having battery drain issues is some, but not all of my devices.
I am using ZHA and a Sonoff bridge flashed with Tasmota.
I have Many Sonoff buttons and motion sensors that work just fine. They have been working for many months with little signs of battery drainage. I then bought some 4 button remotes, and they just guzzle batteries. I have done some research, and found out this seems to be an issue that is known about, but can't seem to find anything that says its solved, or what, if anything I need to do to resolve it.

quick question as a new comers some aqara device did not show battery and I have 1 aqara wireless switch which show no on/off switch and have no idea how to make it work. Can someone help? What do I need to do? Do I need to make yaml on HA?

#

@formal olive I‘ve noticed that sometimes with Aqara devices the battery-entity will take some time to show up.
If they don’t, try to re-pair the devices (without deleting them first).

limpid cloud
#

@green cloak I have, works flawless for me. Flashed the device with router firmware, plugged it in at location, started discovery (in my case in ZHA), device was configured/named, works.

You can just run cc2538-bsl.py --bootloader-sonoff-usb ..., it does it all within the same script

lean echo
#

BTW I tried the script from your PR with docker to migrate from conbee to sonoff and in the json generated there are 0 devices, is that normal? in the comment you pointed me to that person says that they can see he has 8 devices... is it me reading it wrong and it's copying everything else from the original coordinator? I actually thought the coordinators don't store any devices, is that right?

austere patio
#

That's normal

lean echo
#

ok thanks!

austere patio
#

Conbee doesn't keep track of any devices, it expects the application controlling it to load those in at runtime

lean echo
#

I'm gonna give it a try now and hopefully I can set it up, I should get a call today or tomorrow from the shop selling me the blinds and I'd like to try if there's any difference with the sonoff

austere patio
#

Good luck

lean echo
#

thanks!

lean echo
#

@austere patio I used the commands to copy from one another and everything looked successful, but now I can't see any device on z2m, any clue where could I look at?

#

I see in z2m logs lots of things like this:
Zigbee2MQTT:info 2022-02-28 17:42:23: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/Movimiento Cocina', payload '{"battery_low":false,"illuminance":13585,"illuminance_lux":23,"linkquality":65,"occupancy":false,"tamper":false,"temperature":21.43}' but no errors

austere patio
lean echo
#

maybe I'm wrong, but those messages might be z2m just receiving what mosquitto is sending

#

I can see this now in the logs after waiting for a while
Publish 'set' 'state' to 'Barra 1' failed: 'Error: Command 0x84fd27fffe8aa3ca/11 genLevelCtrl.moveToLevelWithOnOff({"level":0,"transtime":50}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (Timeout - 405 - 11 - 8 - 8 - 11 after 10000ms)'

#

so I guess the network isn't working and after hitting update on the network map I'm getting errors on all the LQI executions

austere patio
#

Z2M also aggressively overwrites network settings in CC2652 adapters so it could have "un-done" the migration

lean echo
#

😮

austere patio
#

Compare the zigpy backup JSON to the Z2M coordinator_backup.json

#

It'll be generated when you next shut down Z2M

lean echo
#

yep, they differ in a few things

austere patio
#

Which ones?

lean echo
#

coordinator_ieee and extended_pan_id are different

#

also frame_counter inside netowrk_key

austere patio
#

The frame counter always increases so that's normal

lean echo
#

and stack_specific was empty on the conbee backup

austere patio
#

The other two should not change

#

Conbee has no stack-specific settings so that's also fine

lean echo
#

should I override pan_id and ieee?

#

pan Id looks odd in conbee, like ddddddd

austere patio
#

The extended PAN ID?

#

That's Z2M's default

lean echo
#

well, now in sonoff is the same as the IEEE

#

at least in coordinator_backup.json

austere patio
#

I think that's a Z2M state reading bug, because the EPID is definitely set correctly within the backup/restore code

#

Let me check out what Z2M is doing

lean echo
#

thanks!

austere patio
#

Could you PM me your zigpy backup and the Z2M coordinator backup?

lean echo
#

Guys small question.
I got a silvercrest (lidl) zigbee 3.0 motion sensor, I'm using zigbee2mqtt. I know not all of them are supported by it, but I should get something when I try to pair it in my logs, right? because I'm not getting anything in those.

uneven ruin
#

yeah something unsupported should at least log on a high level logging event

#

I have a ghost device I don't remember that must be talking at time to time because I see weird "unsupported device message" during parings sometimes

royal hollow
#

ugh, Sonoff stuff is giving me such a headache with Z2M, taking many attempts at pairing to actually be functional

Hi all, I've got the IKEA TRADFRI hub and a simple switch for it. I'm trying to work out if I can use this switch as a switch in home assistant. All the tutorials I found seem to use Zigbee2MQTT or deConz; do I have to buy new hardware for this, or can I use my existing TRADFRI hardware?

sour shadow
#

It may not show up as a switch entity, unless that's an actual switch

#

Look for any entities created by the integration

wraith salmon
#

it is an actual switch, but it only shows up as a battery level sensor

jolly narwhal
#

Which actual switch is it?

wraith salmon
#

E1743

sour shadow
#

That's not a switch

jolly narwhal
#

Does it show up as a sensor with action? I threw out my tradfri hub pretty early as it was horrible in stability

sour shadow
#

A switch turns things on and off - that's a remote

jolly narwhal
#

It will be a switch in zigbee2mqtt though DogeWink

#

Eeeh

#

It is actually a sensor in z2m

#

But i dont trigger on the ha entities, i trigger on mqtt

wraith salmon
#

@jolly narwhal where in HA would it show up? Not sure where to look

jolly narwhal
#

Should show under the integration i guess

wraith salmon
#

and if I needed to use zigbee2mqtt, do I need extra hardware for that?

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.

thats defnitely the api mode, and its even getting a reply!

ok, 7e magic, 0x0005 byte packet, then the payload itself:

W \x08\x01\x41\x50\x02
R \x88\x01\x41\x50\x00
W \x08\x02\x41\x4f\x03
R \x88\x02\x41\x4f\x02

and a 1 byte checksum

#

0x08 means its an AT command, 0x01 is a sequence#, then a raw AP, and 0x02, which is setting it into api mode with escape characters, makes sense

#

then we have AO with a value of 0x3, which doesnt exist in my documentation pdf!

#

for a series-3 xbee, AO sets api options
and a value of 0x3 means

Explicit API output (0x91 frame type)
Supported ZDO request pass-through

reading more, it sounds kind of like wifi monitor mode, where the xbee firmware is doing less work, and just passing messages to the host, so the host can then extend the feature-set

and it wont even need an MCU, the native gpio can do it

I guess. I don't see a way to set the node descriptor or add endpoints so I think this would qualify as "Zigbee" since it's implemented as a manufacturer-specific command set

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.

The CC2531 is well known for suddenly stopping working. Power cycling it sometimes helps, as does reflashing it

#

Of course, there's no 1.24 firmware...

cc2652 or cc2652

I'd personally suggest buying from Tube or Electrolama, simply because they both provide excellent customer service

How do I get Last_seen and Availability settings to persist through a restart? Currently I'm setting them in the UI.

sour shadow
#

Zigbee2MQTT?

mighty river
#

Yes

sour shadow
#

Using the add-on, or Docker, or bare metal?

mighty river
#

Add-On In HAOS

sour shadow
#

The settings should be saved when the add-on is restarted, though I've seen others mention that it's not

mighty river
#

Yeah it doesn't appear to be. Is there anything I can add to the configuration file for these settings?

sour shadow
#

I don't know how the add-on works though

mighty river
#

Ok, thank you

I can't connect router with more than 3 devices in Zigbee2MQTT https://imgur.com/a/bPXhSgX Do you know about some limitations? It's first time when I'm trying to setup zigbee router.

Hi
Brand new in Home assistant. I have bought a sonoff ZigBee dongle plus and put it into my raspberry pi, it has been able to find ZigBee contacts and all that, now I have read online something to flash it. Since I'm not an expert at all and brand new, are there any who might want to take the time to explain what I should do?

#

i have tried watching videos but do not quite understand it

sour shadow
#

What's the question?

#

You don't have to flash the stick if everything works

prisma coyote
#

have just read it would run better and one could get more devices

sour shadow
#

That sounds ... vague

#

And possibly not even related to that stick

#

Do see the link though

prisma coyote
#

to sec

#

I flashed two sonoff dongles plus day before yesterday

but only 2 devices are connected to coordinator and router together so it's not very helpful to expand my network availability

#

where can i find firmware

sour shadow
prisma coyote
#

firmware_CC2531_CC2530.patch but it says 2 years ago, is this the latest

sour shadow
#

You bought a CC2351?

#

The firmware for that really terrible stick is only 3 months old though

prisma coyote
#

I do not know what to do ahaha

sour shadow
#

Which stick do you have?

prisma coyote
#

sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb

sour shadow
#

That's not the CC2531

my video is for your device exactly

there is everything described

I just discovered an unexpected quirk in zigbee2mqtt. If you specify a user but not a password for the mqtt connection, it ignores the username.

#

it took me at least 2 hours to realize what was going on here; everything looked like it should be FINE but I couldn't see any messages that zigbee2mqtt was publishing at all anywhere. Turns out they were going into a black hole.

jolly narwhal
#

Sounds normal, as it's an inclusive parameter

#

Either you are using anonymous

#

Or user/password

pine swift
#

yeah, it's not shocking. I've just been using a username with null password in other places for a while (I don't remember why I did this; possibly no good reason)

Running zigbee2MQTT, have one of them friend 110, home assistant for some reason does not get all values, for example VO2; what that I not clicked ? If I look in zigbee2MQTT all info is there on the device, doesnt just translate to mosquitto/homeassistant. Followed guide on website for home assistant and them advanced options are on. | what homeassistant sees https://pasteboard.co/snVhHCI744bO.png | zigbee2MQTT info from device https://pasteboard.co/GpIDq0Z8xSm7.png | zigbee2MQTT raw config https://nopaste.net/4u7901tKCA

Looking for recommendations for zigbee alarm siren and keypad.

Looking for ip security camera poe recommendations

For cameras any cheap camera from AliExpress that meets your needs will suffice

I use $20 1080 and $35 4k ones

I can see the info in mqtt/homeassistant, but it creates no entity for voc

Lots of posts suggested firmware update of the stick, just did it so now the waiting game.

#

anyone have a coordinator from Smartlight?

#

that could show a picture of the board and specifically the soldered antenna?

snow gate
hardy crane
#

mine is on the left. The one they show is on the right. The antenna on mine looks rather dodgy and soldered completely different

jolly narwhal
#

At first i was wondering why the sma connector was pushed into the microcontroller

austere patio
#

Is the board even soldered on?? That pin on the bottom left is floating in mid air

#

I think whoever assembled it put the three parts together in the wrong order

molten linden
#

this is why I buy and use modules with ipex connectors 🤷‍♂️

#

of course those can have issues too 🤦‍♂️

lean echo
#

after switching from conbee II to sonoff dongle I've notice a big drop in LQI in my devices, like the bulbs I have closest to the coordinator were well above 200 lqi and now the highest one is 142

austere patio
#

It differs between firmwares and especially between different hardware vendors

lean echo
#

oh ok

#

I was having some weird behaviours in one of my automations and because I have no clue what could be causing it, I decided to check around connectivity

austere patio
#

Higher being roughly better is about the only thing you can infer from it

#

But it doesn't indicate connection quality, just the quality of the last hop

hardy crane
clear sleet
#

I did flash my conbee II like 4h ago, still stable and no devices dropped out.

#

but I suspect my problem doesnt lay with the dongle, I can see all values from devices in zigbee2MQTT, but home assistant doesnt update them

#

Not sure it's firmware-related at all, time will tell

hardy crane
#

if you get them in Z2M and also they update in Z2M then it's probably your mqtt broker or integration in HA that has the issue

#

firmware on the dongle shouldn't have anything to do with that

#

listen to the z2m mqtt topic and see if they get updated there

clear sleet
#

No idea what I'm doing tbh

Hey guys, I have a sonoff ZigBee USB dongle with the cc2652r chip. I'm having trouble with some devices dropping off and becoming completely unresponsive. I just can't seem to figure out why

#

My sensors are doing great and are even further apart than the mains powered devices which are the ones giving me problems

#

For context, my coordinator is on the 20220219 build
