tomorrow night will be fun repairing all my devices

looks good

harsh zenith
#

dang, one of the door sensors shows as 54% battery right out of the box. i dont think the xiaomi door sensors have replaceable batteries, do they? i guess par for the course with aliexpress?

austere patio
#

But don't worry about the percentage, it's not accurate

harsh zenith
#

ah, cool. good to know

uneven ruin
#

I have one thats said 1% for 4 months now

brave mirage
#

No it is normally available for identiti only (Ikea button) i am using sonoff usb3.0 dongle

Hello @peak tapir,
I saw that you have the same plug(SP-EUC01) than mine and I have a similar issue on ZHA, did you solved your issue since ?

abstract wagon
#

puddly#8728 just wanted to let you know that the zigbee adapter you suggested works like a charm. Thanks :)

#

@austere patio ^

harsh zenith
#

So this morning I noticed my Xiaomi front door sensor was not updating with the door opening/closing. When I look at the map in zigbee2mqtt, should I be seeing dashed lines to all my green end devices?
https://i.imgur.com/lq8OfUF.png

sour shadow
#

It's normal for some end devices to not show on the map - there's even an FAQ entry about that

#

However, it could be that they need new batteries/have fallen out with their router

harsh zenith
#

They're brand new from yesterday's install. I guess maybe they came shipped with bad batteries? I am using Sonoff S31 lite smart plugs as repeaters - maybe they aren't fully compatible with Xiaomi?

sour shadow
#

Try pairing them through a router, rather than letting them pick

harsh zenith
#

In zigbee2mqtt, is clicking "Permit join (All)" what you mean by letting them pick?

sour shadow
#

Yes

harsh zenith
#

What I did yesterday was use the dropdown on the permit join to first use the closest smart plug, and I ran the permit join to that smart plug that way

#

it was all working last night

#

how do I force pairing them through the router?

sour shadow
#

That's what you did

#

Which is good

harsh zenith
#

ah, gotcha. router = repeater?

sour shadow
#

Yes, in Zigbee speak

harsh zenith
#

cool, got it

sour shadow
#

They are picky about their routers though, it may well be they don't like Sonff

harsh zenith
#

should I be worried about availability being "disabled" in the device settings?

sour shadow
#

Only if you turned it on

harsh zenith
#

I never touched it

sour shadow
#

It's a good thing to turn on

harsh zenith
#

so i just add availability: true somewhere in my config file and restart?

sour shadow
#

Or enable in Z2M's UI

#

Just don't confuse HA's configuration.yaml and Z2M's

harsh zenith
#

ah, I totally would have

sour shadow
#

Lots of people do

harsh zenith
#

sorry for all the hand holding, but how do I switch it to enabled via the UI?

#

click the disabled text hyperlinks me to the above link

#

I see availability under settings

#

its currently set to 'availability (simple)'

#

do i switch it to advanced and hit submit? or is that doing something else?

sour shadow
#

I thought it was a setting in the UI, maybe I'm mistaken

harsh zenith
sour shadow
#

Yes

#

Though, images of text ... nauseated

harsh zenith
#

sorry 😦

#

is there something I have to do to save the change? It seemed to revert after a restart

#

ah, maybe i need to do it from the addon's config page? instead of text editing the yaml directly?

sour shadow
#

Probably

harsh zenith
#

cool, they show as available now. not sure if it will solve the status not updating issue

#

i guess the rec is to re-pair with the closest repeater again?

sour shadow
#

Do you have any non-Sonoff routers?

harsh zenith
#

unfortunately no

#

i was told the s31 lites would work, but I may have been steered wrong, heh

sour shadow
#

Well, try it and see. If you're lucky it's just a glitch

Hello, I have a (new) conbee II stick that i'm trying to configure. I run Home Assistant OS in an Unraid VM and forwarded the USB device to homeassistant. When i try and update the device it will say successfull and the conbee stick is no longer connected to the system. It wont discover any of my zigbee devices. These are the logs:

#

(I both tried ZHA and DeCONZ they both dont work)

tropic depot
#

do you have both running at once?

#

the error you posted is telling you that multiple things are potentially trying to access the stick at the same time

clear hatch
#

Yeah I have, but i only tried ZHA as a trouble shooting mesure

tropic depot
#

you can't have both at the same time

#

to try ZHA you would need to completely disable (if not remove to be sure) deconz

clear hatch
#

Alright, i will try that

#

Okay i removed deconz and reinstalled zha, i still dont have anything showing up. I have an aqara temprature sensor and a Phillips Hue Bulb both in pairing mode rn

tropic depot
#

that all looks normal

#

reset the Xiaomi device and continue pressing the button every second or so while add devices is running

#

well... this doesn't: No watchdog response

#

but the radio traffic does

clear hatch
#

yeah the zha just times out

#

Should i try deconz again and remove zha?

tropic depot
#

did you try what I suggested w/ the Xiaomi device?

clear hatch
#

yeah

tropic depot
#

how is the conbee hooked up?

#

is it on an extension cord?

clear hatch
#

usb 2.0, its pluggin in directly

tropic depot
#

put it on an extension

#

they are sensitive to interference

clear hatch
#

I only have a very long usb extension cord (5 meters) i think

tropic depot
#

worth trying... rather than flipping integrations back and forth

#

extension is recommended right in their docs for the stick...

clear hatch
#

Alright I will keep you updated.

#

that worked, thank you!

clear hatch
#

I just connected all my devices, except my phillips hue devices. They wont seem to get reccognized

tropic depot
#

the hue devices need to be reset by a hue remote or huethief

clear hatch
#

I tried the hue remote, that didn’t work. Never heard of huethief so ill try that

tropic depot
#

need a SI stick for it I think

clear hatch
#

Alright it worked with the hue remote, I now have one last question, I have an aqara metering socket. It connected fine and i can control it. But I cant get a energy meter from it. These are the entities and their state:

  • Electrical_measurement: not available.
  • Electrical_measurement apparent_power: not available
    -smartenergy_metering: unknown
    -smartenergy_metering summation_deliverd: unknown
tropic depot
#

what is the model

#

there are open issues for 2 of them

clear hatch
#

SP-EUC01

tropic depot
#

is it showing a quirk?

#

on the device card?

#

I can't say that I recall seeing that model

#

nvm... there is an issue open for it

tropic depot
clear hatch
#

Alright, we’ll the switch is actually the whole reason why I used the conbee stick, the Aqara hub didn’t have enough range

clear hatch
#

That came with the device, or one in home assistant?

tropic depot
#

in HA

clear hatch
#

Im not sure what you meant

tropic depot
#

lumi.plug.maeu01

#

yeah that has an existing issue.. it will be fixed soon hopefully

clear hatch
#

Alright, do you think i should wait or use deconz. because the power meter is actually the whole reason i bought the stick and plug.

tropic depot
#

that's up to you

clear hatch
#

I mean if i turn off zha i wont loose everything right?

tropic depot
#

shouldn't

#

you will need to re-pair all devices again though

clear hatch
#

I think I will stick with zha, when do you think it will be fixed?

tropic depot
#

I don't have an answer for that

clear hatch
#

I will try to move the old aqara hub upstairs and use it right next to the switch and connect it via homekit. Hope that will be a temporairy fix

waxen stream
#

@jolly python I went through it and didn't see anything that shouldn't be shared. Did I miss something I should redact?

jolly python
#

No all good, but its huge

waxen stream
jolly python
#

have you tried to flash it another time?

austere patio
#

What hardware is it plugged into? Can you try it with a USB extension cable?

waxen stream
#

I've tried directly in the USB port and through a USB powered hub (I do have a hard drive attached as well)

austere patio
#

USB 2.0 or 3.0?

waxen stream
#

Not sure I have an extra extender but I will look for one

#

good question. I don't remember if I tried both but I think so

austere patio
waxen stream
austere patio
#

That worked fine

#

I'd run it again just to generate new settings (since that public log contains your secret network key) and see about moving the coordinator around. It crashing during the network formation scan means that you have a lot of interference.

#

The exact same code is run with ZHA and with the CLI tool so if you moved the stick to a new environment, that's the only difference

waxen stream
waxen stream
# austere patio That worked fine

Puddly, hoping you are still willing to investigate... I move the RPI to a new location and the dongle seemed to install correctly. However, I am unable to add any of my devices. I have new a Aqara motion and temp sensor. I also have an older hue motion sensor. In the ZHA add device interface log, it get:
[0x0000:zdo] ZDO request ZDOCmd.Mgmt_Permit_Joining_rsp: [<Status.SUCCESS: 0>]
[0x0000:zdo] No handler for ZDO request:ZDOCmd.Mgmt_Permit_Joining_rsp([<Status.SUCCESS: 0>])
logfile (scoped to "zig"): https://github.com/MichaelRegan/logshare/blob/main/zigpylog.txt

austere patio
#

Since you formed a new network via the CLI tools externally

waxen stream
#

How would I resolve this situation?

#

The aqara devices were still the their box until just now

#

@austere patio if I wipe the network and allow HA to create a new one?

austere patio
#

What was the CC2652 plugged into when ZHA was unable to form a network?

#

And what was it plugged into when the CLI tools were?

waxen stream
#

HA on a RPI was failing. I then used another RPI to run the cli tool. Then back to the original HA box

austere patio
#

Exact same type of pi? Same type of peripherals attached (USB 3 SSDs, WiFi cards, etc.)? Same general location?

waxen stream
#

No. CLI was run n on a vanilla install of Ras-OS ok my desk

austere patio
#

The two methods of forming a network do exactly same thing and run exactly the same code so something about the RF environment with your original HA box is causing the CC2652 to not work properly

waxen stream
#

I moved the pi to another floor afterwards

austere patio
#

Forming the network "externally" just confirmed that the software + hardware are both functioning correctly so it's something with the way your HA box is setup

#

Likely some noisy peripheral

waxen stream
#

SSD?

austere patio
#

That'd do it

waxen stream
#

It's the RPI 4 with only that

#

I'll order an extension cable and test again

austere patio
#

You can try wrapping the SSD in foil or otherwise shielding it for now

waxen stream
#

Not having a great iot week... LED project is stalled too

#

Interesting idea, I'll give it a shot

austere patio
#

You can also use the second pi as a remote coordinator with ser2net

#

If it's easier to move around and centrally place. Will work best with Ethernet or 5GHz WiFi.

im having some trouble getting zigbee2mqtt working, the addon wont start, it gives the error Error: Failed to connect to the adapter (Error: SRSP - SYS - ping after 6000ms) ive looked at the troubleshooting page for that specific error and nothing seems to be working

#

ive confirmed the port is correct, multiple times, ive tested to make sure the user has access to that port, but still nothing

austere patio
grim gulch
#

ive unplugged it and back in but do you mean unplugging it then trying to start it?

austere patio
#

No, just unplugging it and and plugging it back in, then trying to start Z2M

grim gulch
#

yeah but let me try again

austere patio
#

Have you used Z2M before? Or is this a first time setup problem?

grim gulch
#

first time setup

austere patio
#

What adapter is it?

grim gulch
#

GoControl CECOMINOD016164 HUSBZB-1 USB Hub

#

its a zigbee/zwave combo, does that cause issues?

austere patio
#

You have to upgrade its firmware to the EZSP v8 first

#

Then specify the adapter type in your config:

serial:
  adapter: ezsp
grim gulch
#

will that wipe all my devices i currently have set up?

#

with the normal zigbee intgration?

austere patio
#

You're updating only the Zigbee side so no

grim gulch
#

alright cool ill look into that thanks!

austere patio
#

Support for the HUSBZB-1 in Z2M is experimental, it's a bit better supported by ZHA (and works out of the box)

grim gulch
#

should i consider getting a new zigbee adapter to work along side it?

austere patio
#

Along side it?

grim gulch
#

yeah one for the zha and one for zigbee2mqtt

austere patio
#

They both manage a Zigbee network so you generally don't want to run both

#

Otherwise you effectively have two independent networks and won't benefit from increased range from having routers

grim gulch
austere patio
#

ZHA and Z2M require exclusive access to an adapter to "use" it so if you want to run both, you would need two adapters. But why would you run both in the first place?

grim gulch
#

id rather not resetup 15 devices just so i can get one device working but its probably worth it

austere patio
#

So you have ZHA currently managing the HUSBZB-1

grim gulch
#

yeah

austere patio
#

What's the device that doesn't work? Something Tuya?

grim gulch
#

no its a custom button remote that i soldered together

#

the second one is the homeassistant part

austere patio
#

If you're putting your own firmware on it then you should be able to set it up to be standards-compliant and work with ZHA without any special config

grim gulch
#

not my own firmware though

#

no clue where to start with making/editing my own and dont feel like going down that rabbit hole

#

what do you suggest i do in this situation

austere patio
#

Looks like it should "work" with ZHA, just the nonstandard multistate input configuration won't be mapped out

grim gulch
#

when i tried to add it with zha it just showed 2 disabled entities

austere patio
#

That's normal, buttons just generate events

grim gulch
#

oh okay

austere patio
#

Or no, it should be fully configurable and is already standards compliant

grim gulch
#

thanks!

austere patio
grim gulch
#

not sure what that means or what im looking at but im sure ill figure it out if not ill come back here

austere patio
#

If you go to the device page and click "manage clusters", you'll figure it out. Good luck!

grim gulch
#

alright cool, thanks for the tip, i really appreciate the help!

grim gulch
#

okay im starting to understand after blankly staring at it for a good few minutes

#

immediately i notice 2 limitations tho

#

i can only do individual devices not groups or entities with no devices

#

and i cant set color to stay the same, havent looked a lot into the color stuff yet though

grim gulch
#

okay it works MUCH better with automations, got it

clear hatch
#

Hello I fount a potential fix for my lumi.plug.maeu01. I have to change the quirk tho. But how?

harsh zenith
#

So I just got a bunch of Aqara sensors off AliExpress. Two door sensors installed fine. The third doesn't show a blue LED when long pressing it's button. I've even replaced the battery with a new one. Is it likely just dead in arrival? Or is there anything else I can try to do to 'reset' it or something?

hot sluice
#

Does anyone has sucessfully used ZG2858A remote control from Sunricher ?

austere patio
hot sluice
#

I've tried Zigbee home automation and zigbee2mqtt, device is correctly linked but no events are sent ? Or atleast can't see them

uneven ruin
#

anyone have issues repairing Peanut plugs on their network? Mine joined fine originally but I just had to move my network channel and it won't pair again - blinking red light for the reset but it just goes and goes and goes

#

literally just re connected 80 devices without issue

#

this one is causing a fit. And I literally only use it to know if the projector is on lol

uneven ruin
hot sluice
#

I got nothing in zha_event

#

I reconfigurated it

#

It says it's ok, I go to dev tool and subscribe to zha_event, nothing appears when pressing button

austere patio
uneven ruin
#

from 20 to 11

austere patio
#

It might be a device that only joins on 15/20/25

uneven ruin
#

poop

austere patio
#

Maybe try updating their firmware? I believe their nonstandard trigger process was reverse engineered in ZHA, maybe it was in z2m as well

uneven ruin
#

interesting zha picked it right up

#

(I have a second stick)

#

so I tested

#

so yeah must be the channel thing

austere patio
#

I wonder if you can join it to your stick on channel 15 running with identical network settings and then send it a channel change notification

uneven ruin
#

right now I think I'm just going to leave zha up

#

lol

#

All I use it for is to detect if the power draw is > X to signal if the projector is on

#

if I could find a different plug (needs to be round or square, not a longer rectangle - US prongs - I'd just swap it, its been an annoying device from the start

#

firmware didn't actually do power monitoring so I had to do a firmware upgrade, hard to pair. Weird spikes in the readings so I have to filter those out

#

but it plugs into an outlet that is weird (its in a box that has a wire passthrough as well, its mounted at an angle so it can't be a large plug

#

or I figure out a way to use the projector trigger port somehow

#

channel 11 has been super smooth though, no weird delays with 1 bulb out of 6

#

HI guys - after the latest update 2022.3.7 my ZHA devices dont accept changes anymore. For example when i try to change the temperature on a valve in lovelace the value will be reset after a few seconds. Any ideas how to fix that?

thick plover
#

Anyone know if Aqara sensors can connect to Hue devices as a router (using z2m)

surreal nacelle
#

With Hue devices you mean like Bulbs?

uneven ruin

the message isn't getting to the device for some reason

Sonoff 3 Plus USB Dongle

#

Its strange - the devices still reported the current temperature and the should-temperature correctly. only thing that dint work was setting the new temp. i repaired the 3 valves again. and now everything is back to normal. strange anyway.

austere patio
#

Must have been a problem with the valves, I don't think ZHA had any code changes recently that would impact network operation like this

Hi
After months of tinkering I finally got my sonoff zigbee 3.0 plus dongle to work. I connected 2 motion sensors but they show availability as "disabled". How do I enable them?

uneven ruin
#

sounds to me like they dropped off

strong mango
#

They show history as detecting motion but I can not see live data

austere patio
#

Do you have any Zigbee routers (e.g. bulbs)?

strong mango
#

In zigbee2mqtt web ui they show as disabled

#

I do not but these devices are 6ft in front of the dongle atm @austere patio

warped hatch
#

I am hoping someone could point me in the direction of a good quality Hue GU10 alternative, I have tried Innr but had a bad experience with them. (I am UK based) I would prefer to stick with ZigBee rather than move over to WiFi bulbs such as Lifx. If this is the wrong place to ask this please feel free to delete. Thank you very much.

Hi Guys. Im using ZHA with a conbee-stick. Im using a mix of philips HUE and IKEA Tradfri bulbs. I recently bought two new IKEA bulbs, but they wont work properly. I can add them, but I cant control them från the UI. Anybody familiar with this problem? The forums didnt give much.

uneven ruin
#

changed my channel, things have been nigh and day since

#

performance was OK but some weird things sometimes

#

haven't seen any weirdness since I did the change yesterday morning

strong mango
plush veldt
#

here is what I got from the logs

austere patio
#

Is your Conbee on a USB 2.0 extension cable, away from any USB 3.0 ports, WiFi cards, raspberry pi's, etc?

plush veldt
#

Yup

#

And it has been working flawlessly for quite some time.

#

Its just these two new bulbs Im having an issue with

austere patio
plush veldt
#

Willco!

#

this is from where I first find "tradfri" in the log

austere patio
#

Those are the first couple of seconds, when ZHA is just starting up. Can you try toggling the lights and post what happens when you do that?

plush veldt
#

Sure!

#

Ive been using zigbee with homeassistant for quite a few years, and never seen anything like this.

#

btw, its renamed to gästrumslampa in the last paste

#

or gastrumslampa

austere patio
#

Have you tried re-joining the devices? The debug log unfortunately doesn't have any extra context

plush veldt
#

I did. And it works for a few second right after the inclusion. Then the bulb flashes and then wont respond anymore.

austere patio
#

I don't think the coordinator matters all that much as long as it can reach the bulb

#

Can you power cycle the bulbs (cut off power, wait 5-10s, turn them back on) and post that section of the debug log?

plush veldt
#

Alright. As I told you it works initially. If I press the MDI bulb icon when Im in the inclusion window I can adjust the brightness.. If im quick enough, that is.

#

hello there ~
I have an issue, no devices on my zha have a quirks, where I see there is a quirk available for almost each of my devices

plush veldt
#

@austere patio Nothin with the device name in that snippet

austere patio
#

I'm not seeing any device announcement messages received by the coordinator in the log

#

So the bulbs don't seem to be "on" the network

#

Have you tried rebooting the Conbee by unplugging it?

plush veldt
#

Let me try that

austere patio
tranquil orchid
austere patio
#

If the quirk isn't loaded, it doesn't apply to your device (or your variant hasn't been added to the list of devices that it applies to)

#

What devices?

tranquil orchid
#

For example I just added a SONOFF BASICZBR3 and it doesn't behave as a switch as it should

tranquil orchid
#

Like, I don't have any device with a quirk right now

austere patio
#

What exact devices? Go to the device's page, click the "zigbee device signature" button, and upload that info somewhere (e.g. https://dpaste.org/)

plush veldt
#

@austere patio No joy. I cant even see the device in the visualisation.

austere patio
#

It likely failed its interview and was removed from the database when you restarted HA

tranquil orchid
plush veldt
#

Alright. Might this be a firmware issue with the newer bulbs? AS I said I have a lot of older IKEA bulbs that work flawlessly.

@austere patio where should I check if there is a quirk thats should be autoconfigured but isn't ?

I moved a Philips Hue bulb to another room and cannot access it. Will Hue bulbs automatically reconnect to other routers, or do they just expect to find the ones it saw when paired?

well thanks then, i'll look into how to do a quirk tonight ^^'

fierce valley
#

I have a question that relates to which Zigbee-integration that is the best. If its possible to respond to that question...

ZHA or deConz?

jolly python
#

Zigbee2mqtt

#

Since deconz only works with the conbee, you should use zha because there are more powerful coordinators than the conbee

sour shadow
#

not deCONZ is always the answer

fierce valley
#

I have the Conbee 2...

zenith oracle
#

Conbee 2 works in zigbee2mqtt.

Im using deConz with Conbee 2 right now but I always want to have something better.

Pros and Cons? Which is the better one?

You cant say this is the best without specifying why...

There is no "best" without specifying what you care about

There are however "worst"... but nobody's mentioned the CC253x sticks yet

Can anyone help with getting Zigbee TS0505B (Lidl smart floor lamp) working?

How are the Tube's repeaters/routers? Would probably be reusing my conbee 2 coordinator & most of my end devices would be Aqara sensors.

#

Haven't set everything back up yet, but I'd probably use ZHA with this new setup

@jolly python thanks

#

@ tube you gotta love it 😀 and i hear great things. Just looking to get back in to Home Assistant in the next week or so and building out a plan of attack.

uneven ruin
#

personally I would swap from the conbee

#

no sense in building up a network to rebuild later

#

get a good stick

#

and as someone who has rebuilt twice now, pick a good channel

#

I switched sticks then switched channels. lots of fun

jolly python
#

How many devices do you have

mighty river
#

let me double check, everything sits on Aqara hubs at the moment and i'm looking to move to something more versatile than homekit

#

~40 Aqara sensors, combination of temperature/door & window/motion/vibration/leak detectors

#

tried the conbee 2 in the past with Ikea repeaters and it was kind of a pain

jolly narwhal
#

I run 40ish aqara devices here

#

With mostly tradfri lights as routers

jolly python
#

40 sensors without a router? Ah ikea repeater

jolly narwhal
#

Never issues

mighty river
#

i have one router, but it's far off so it only has one device connecting to it

jolly python
#

You should build a better mesh

mighty river
#

i actually have 3 Aqara hubs... i have two of the 1st gen hubs that i like because they chime when doors are opened and the night light

jolly narwhal
#

Well, mostly any mains powered device will be a router

#

Just don't turn them off

mighty river
#

actually everything works fine with the Aqara hubs

jolly python
#

Yeah but if you just use one conbee stick you should use more routers

mighty river
#

it was just when i tried months ago with the Conbee 2 & ikea routers

#

i had 5 ikea routers and 4 ikea outlets

#

just dropped like crazy

jolly python
#

Better try another coordinator cp2652 base

jolly narwhal
#

Must be Conbee related

#

No issues with Texas instruments

jolly python
#

Have you used an usb 2.0 extension?

mighty river
#

if a device paired directly to the conbee it was fine and i have it mounted up fairly high on a wall so the range was ok

#

yeah, extension cable

#

it was just the ikea stuff wasn't reliable for me

jolly python
#

Ikea is solid normally

jolly narwhal
#

No issues for 4 years with Ikea here

#

Across 15+ different devices

mighty river
#

yeah, i'd drop sensors at one point had some singled bulbs that wouldn't respond

#

ditched the sengled bulbs and same issue, but they were only end devices not routers

jolly python
#

Have you used the same channel as before with the aqara hubs

jolly narwhal
#

Sengled is not routers afaik

mighty river
#

right

#

that's kinda why i chose Sengled and they make 1600lumen/100w equivalent bulbs, which i liked

jolly narwhal
#

Holy fuck my eyes

mighty river
#

i tried several channels when i initially started troubleshooting and i think i stuck to channel 25 towards the end, everything was solid when the sensors went directly to the conbee regardless of what channel i used

#

@jolly narwhal i make it light up like the sun in here

jolly narwhal
#

I just might get skin cancer

#

I run my lights at 80% max, but that only happens during full daylight, adaptive lighting brings them down throughout the day till 1% at 22:00

mighty river
#

i only have dimmable lights in the dining room and the kids bedroom at the moment, pretty much all my light switches are lutron

jolly narwhal
#

We haven't used a physical light switch in over 3 years, all lights except bedrooms are automatically adjusted

mighty river
#

i have my kitchen lights triggered by motion through HomeKit at the moment, but looking to set that type of stuff up in node red once i stand up the HA box again

#

I've yet to see any use for node red,ha automation does everything i need and more

mighty river
#

had a fridge in the basement die and didn't notice for two days, want to revisit setting up 433mhz temp sensors in the deep freezes/fridges and such so that's why i'm looking to get back to HA. The batteries in the Aqara sensors died so fast at those low temps.

#

oh nice, i'll check those out

jolly narwhal
#

I'm making a esp custom sensor for my fridge room

#

With 5 ds18b20 sensors

#

Running off mains

mighty river
#

i have some actiontec sensors on the way with lithium batteries so those should hopefully hold up in the deep freezes

#

That ds18b20 looks interesting and running off mains is ideal, but i can't think of a good way to get that wire in to our deep freezes

Does anyone know if there is any way to send commands to a ZigBee group?

#

Like without a physical device. Eg. Making a card that opens all blinds via ZigBee group and not HA groups

uneven ruin
#

yeah put all the devices in a zigbee group then put a card in that calls the command you want

#

the zigbee group will show up as a HA entity

#

I dont see it as a HA entity.

I have got rid of my Hive heating bridge, and now have the thermostat and receiver in standalone mode. Scheduling is currently set up in the thermostat while I'm tinkering. Both devices are now present and correct in Zigbee2MQTT.

As I only have a single temperature control (the living room thermostat), the longer term plan is to add Tado Zigbee radiator valves in at least four other rooms for more granular control.

Currently though, I'm in a situation now where I can't alter the set-point on the thermostat entity on the dashboard or directly via Zigbee2MQTT - it immediately resets to 1. Controller is set to auto. Is it getting overriden by the thermostat's own program?

I presume the Hive controller doesn't use Zigbee to communicate with the thermostat - as it only reports link quality / battery level - or have I set it up wrong?

Anybody got any tips / links to tutorials on how I can get the two playing nicely? If not, can the thermostat just be used to boost manually - with everything else coming from HA?

dense surge
jolly python
#

No but you can use a zigbee coordinator and integrate all devices altogether into one mesh/network

#

Some say aqara sensors are a bit special to pair though, but i am not an expert here

How do i find the quirks if i want to edit one of them?

Isnt that a zha related problem? Using zigbee2mqtt could help

People have trouble with them both using zha and zigbee2mqtt but reportedly the latter might work better.

#

hey guys, I was wondering if it is possible to kill a zigbee bulb by sending certain options to it - common ones like brightness, color or percentage?

austere patio
#

What do you mean by "kill"?

#

Like physically damage it?

cloud heath
#

I have 2 Osram bulbs that died on me in the same room and wondering if its a setting or potentially the lamp itself

austere patio
#

Are they in the same type of fixture?

cloud heath
#

the same single fixture one replaced the other

austere patio
#

If it's an enclosed fixture, they can cook themselves and fail very early

#

You can try reducing their max brightness by like 10% to make them last longer

cloud heath
#

never had an issue with the fixture - had a hue in there but put that one elsewhere and added added colourd Osrams

#

its an open fixture

#

to be fair both bulbs were pretty warm when I replaced them

#

my hue never got as warm as far as I can remember

austere patio
#

Cheaper bulbs usually don't try to move heat away from the electronics and conveniently fail that way

cloud heath
#

hmm that may explain it as I run hue and Osram in 2 different fixtures in the livingroom but they are never over 40%

#

good insight cheers ... for now I guess its back with plain white hue in the office then 🙂

#

any suggestions on reasonable ones?

austere patio
#

I've not really had any issues with IKEA bulbs in my open fixtures. The ones in enclosed fixtures do burn out every couple of years though.

cloud heath
#

does Ikea do coloured ones now?

austere patio
#

I tried their RGB bulb but it was not very bright or particularly colorful, I use only their brightness or color temperature bulbs

cloud heath
#

only white ones here in the UK by the looks of it

#

I may just stick to the white hue in the office and get a light strip instead for colour accents when needed ...

#

or a bloom they are actually pretty good for what they are

#

thanks @austere patio

austere patio
#

They do if they're a part of the same network

#

Which is ditching a hub and just using a coordinator with a Zigbee integration that directly talks to the devices is more powerful

cloud heath
#

well its a hub and spoke network while hubs (router) mesh at least when I look at my maps

austere patio
#

They're both coordinators. If devices prefer to join to the coordinator as opposed to a router, that's the device's choice (though it is configurable with some coordinators)

cloud heath
#

what I meant was https://i.imgur.com/BCjS6Ve.png | all the blue mesh is all routers while the battery devices only connect to a single router | routers seem to mesh to numerous other routers

#

and thats automagically while you can obviously force a router connection as far as I understood | at least for some devices

#

and it seems when a router goes down eg turned off the battery device elects a new router | seems by signal strength

#

there may well be more to it but thats my observations and as such conclusion - I may be totally wrong

mighty river
#

Hi guys

#

is it possible to force an update of a particular sensor in ZHA? I have a light sensor that updates every 30 seconds but I'd like to force it every now and then.

Anyone else having Zigbee devices randomly appear as unavailable lately? Seems to be happening mainly with battery powered units, maybe even specifically Zigbee 3

lean echo
#

hi everyone! I removed yesterday one of my zigbee bulbs from z2m because it turns on randomly, so I wanted to see if it's maybe some issue with the wires. So I basically went to z2m and force the removal of it.
Now in the UI from z2m I see the 2 groups I had with this specific bulb don't have it anymore, but what my surprise was when the lights still turned on and off with the groups.
After checking in groups.yaml I can see the device is still there...
Is this a bug or a feature because of the force removal?

#

and I am even more surprised now that I removed the device in groups.yaml for both of the groups and still the light turns on and off if I switch the group in HA!

#

does anybody have any clue of what's going on here?

jolly python
#

Still bind to the group i guess, you can reset the bulb though

lean echo
#

how is it bind to it if there's nothing referencing it?

#

the problem is that I can't just reste that single one, I'll have to reset the 3 in the original group as they're all controlled by the same wall switch

jolly python
#

If you reset the single one it should not be longer attached to the group would be my guess

jolly python
lean echo
#

umm not sure how I could do that TBH

#

these bulbs are zigbee so without z2m or the like I don't know how I could pair another remote... if this one was an ikea one, maybe I could

jolly python
lean echo
#

oh and would that work with any bulb, not only ikea?

jolly python
#

Yes, it should

lean echo
#

oh ok nice, I'll give it a try!

#

and another question, because al this might not be necessary... is there any way I can track the availability of a single bulb? I tried to add availability: true at the device level, but in the UI was still showing as not available and also I don't know where to look at to see if the device became unavailable

#

it's really annoying to see this bulb been on every now and then 😅

Can someone who's managed to pair a TRADFRI button with zigbee help me? I'm trying to pair the button with the sonoff gateway, and I think I'm doing all the right things but it's not showing up. Would appreciate if someone could help me troubleshoot...

I've got ZHA set up, and it appears to be correctly configured. HA is showing me the "Add devices" feature on the Integrations page. But when I scan for new devices, nothing shows up. Is there something I might be missing?

what's the model number shown in zha?

Hi. I found that after some time my aqara cubes keep being unlinked from router/coordinator in map view, but it is not far from it - one is about 1 meter and another is maximum 3 meters. Repairing helps, but only for a moment. 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 😦 It looks like this on a map: https://imgur.com/a/VIhD7gR Anyone had similar problem?

Hi all, I'm new to Home assistant but have had lightwaverf switches, hive heating and CCTV for some time. I'm looking for some advice on what to buy to add ZigBee to my Dell T20 server (hyperv 2019). Should I buy the USB sonoff ZigBee dongle and use "deConz" or use a sonoff ZB Bridge and try to flash tasmota?

obsidian sandalBOT
#

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

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

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

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

deConz only works with conbee

#

and that is not recommended, so use zha or zigbee2mqtt

ivory hound
#

@jolly python depends on to you, I personally use z2m

brave scarab
#

Ah ok I'll check out the CC2652 list now thanks both

brave scarab
jolly python
#

there's an addon for HA too

ivory hound
#

no, zigbee2mqtt

brave scarab
#

SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus so would you say this is better than the sonoff ZB Bridge box that needs tasmota?

ivory hound
#

SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus way better

brave scarab
#

Sorry for the dumb questions, so how do I present the dongle plus to A hyperv virtual machine instance of homeasisstant if deConz is for conbee2?

jolly python
#

so you're running HA OS? You need a usb passthrough of the host to the vm

ivory hound
#

you don't need to

#

so if you use SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus with zigbee2mqtt then it has nothing to do with your vm

#

if you use SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus with ZHA in home assistant, then you need to do the pas trough

jolly python
#

if he is running zigbee2mqtt in docker, it has nothing to do with the vm, but if he want to run the addon of zigbe2mqtt he needs an usb passthrough too

ivory hound
#

yes

#

correct

brave scarab
#

Ok so hyperv doesn't support usb passthrough

#

I'm using the HA hyperv image

ivory hound
#

then you choose a poor solution 🙂

#

change it

#

learn a new way

#

improve yourself

brave scarab
#

Doh, shame as my server has multiple VMs currently for media server, CCTV etc

austere patio
#

Or setup a new server/pi/SBC and use ser2net to expose the serial port over TCP so you can avoid USB passthrough issues and likely find a better spot for your coordinator

ivory hound
#

my advice, ditch it

brave scarab
#

Ok thanks, I was hitting a Google search brick wall

jolly python
#

or go directly to docker

ivory hound
#

google is only to be use if you want to buy stuff, they focus on that 🙂

#

if you want real info google is not the place 🙂

brave scarab
#

This may sound strange but I use dockers but within a Linux VM which is my NAS storage array

#

So it won't help in this instance as still have the usb passthrough issue

ivory hound
#

@brave scarab docker in a vm kinda beats the propose

jolly python
#

what os are you running on the server?

ivory hound
#

docker was invented to escape the vm issues

brave scarab
#

Passthrough disks to Linux formatted as ext4

#

Windows 2019 core edition hyperv as the host

ivory hound
#

@brave scarabdont do that, want to start simple get a pi4 with min 4G RAM install docker on it and then putt everything on docker

jolly python
#

why windows? 😄

ivory hound
#

you will be amazed

#

ah lol win

brave scarab

#

windows isn't the right tool for such things

#

@brave scarab win is good as you most sure know but not for this kind off stuff

brave scarab
#

So just stuck with what I knew at the time and has seperate VMs for Linux

#

To be fair the VMs are all Linux

jolly python
#

you can buy a poe coordinator

brave scarab
#

Zoneminder, openmediavault and homeassistant

ivory hound
jolly python
#

that works without usb passthrough

brave scarab
austere patio
#

That kinda seems like a downgrade in terms of performance

jolly python
ivory hound
jolly python
#

i would get myself a nice poe coordinator if i were you

ivory hound
#

why

austere patio
#

It won't require tearing down and rebuilding everything on a new platform just to get a USB port working

ivory hound
#

from what i understand (maybe I am wrong) poe network coordinators add some delays

austere patio
#

They don't

#

You're talking about fractions of a millisecond

ivory hound
#

okay then that might also be a solution, but I'd go any day with docker and a new pi4

#

to easy to use, update, manage

austere patio
#

But then you've downgraded from running your HA installation on a dedicated VM on a server to a relatively slow SBC

#

Each method has its pros and cons, either as an investment of extra time or extra money

brave scarab
molten linden

🙋

brave scarab

If you're lazy, serial over TCP is the way to go. Either tube's pre-made one (with PoE) or a DIY one using a Pi + a USB stick.

A coordinator is what controls your Zigbee network and lets a Zigbee integration talk to the network. Like a WiFi card, but for Zigbee.

brave scarab
#

Sorry I'm a noob with all the questions lol.

#

So is the sonoff usb dongle plus no longer required if you get the coordinator above?

ivory hound
#

@molten linden stuff is very well recommended here, good stuff, I've never test it but many ppl did

#

but my advice stands, learn new stuff go docker way with linux host

ivory hound
brave scarab
#

I just wanted to keep it all on the 1 hyperv server as use pfsense in a VM as a router as well

austere patio
ivory hound
#

any good engineer knows not to keep all on one server :)) rusia can strike it

brave scarab
#

Lol I back the VMs up to a seperate main PC with veeam

ivory hound
#

still if server brake's you have the backups and nothing to restore it to :))))

brave scarab
#

That is too true and my biggest concern. Although at least I can spin the VMs up on new tin and pray it all works :)

austere patio
#

With an Ethernet coordinator you can do live failover to a new machine in case the hardware fails

ivory hound
#

i am trying to teach you some of my sysadmin wisdom :))

brave scarab
#

I expect it wouldn't though as have 4 port NICs mapped through and vlans on VMs.

#

I've restored to the same box for all of the VMs when I had a powercut that caused a corruption and that worked well

ivory hound
#

docker containers can be spined on any linux host

#

you just transfer the data spin the containers with docker compose pam done

#

10 minutes all up

brave scarab
#

Yea I use Linuxserver/ branch dockers and they are excellent

#

I was advised by a colleague to not use homeassistant as a docker and use the full blown OS VM

#

No idea why he just said it works better as a full blown OS

ivory hound
#

no

#

bad colleague

#

bad

#

prob he said that because the os has addons (that are other docker containers)

#

easy for nubs

#

but if you know docker you do not need that addons

#

you can spin up whatever apps you want

#

I had the same worry for the first 5 mins when I switched

What is the Sonoff stick plugged into? Any nearby USB 3.0 ports (especially SSDs), 2.4GHz routers, Raspberry Pis, etc.?

flint kayak
#

The device is connected to a usb 3.0 port on the rpi3 board together with a usb ethernet adapter because the ethernet on the board is not working

#

Add a USB 2.0 extension cable between the Sonoff stick and the Pi

It works now, thank you very much!! Do you know what is causing this error?

Worth checking the pins, but generally speaking Zigbee and USB 3.0 don't play well together

It's all in the very verbose error message at the bottom of your traceback

But the radio crashes when doing its formation scan because it can't find a free channel

Hey I just installed a Conbee 2 to my Raspberry Pi 3 model B. And the setup with the units went without problem in deConz Addon. But after adding the units the deConz do show up in Integrations, and press config and then to allow it to connect to HA.. but then it just keeps failing and then dissapears in the list until I do a reboot

Hey, I just thought to come ask, I was thinking of starting smart home on the back of some Lidl stuff I bought. Zigbee so I should be able to get a dongle or something to connect these to home assistant. My region sells no Zigbee dongles, the only selling sources I find on Google are some super shady Chinese or whatever sites that sell $5 dongles which I assume are a scam. The other option is to disassemble Lidl gateway and hack it by installing custom stuff on it... Bringing me to, am I missing some obvious solution here? Every forum thread I've looked at treats getting Zigbee USB dongle as a trivial "just buy it lol"

#

I've used search words "Zigbee dongle", "Conbee", "Zigbee adapter", "dresden" to search any shop selling these items

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.

I'm new to home assistant and planned to get some devices I could connect to with zigbee. It's running on a pi3 and I have a conbee 2 running the latest HA build. I followed the simple instructions of installation for Deconz, click install, then select port for zigbee radio. Well upon adding Deconz I think it destroyed my home assistant server. I connect to my sever as usual, then see my dashboard, It won't open up when I click deconz on the sidebar or any other addons from the official addon store, just stays at a black screen, then I tried going to addons to disable it, but I'm greeted with the same thing. The logs say, my can't run supervisor. And couldn't start deconz. I tried to restart my server, restart all the yaml configs, check integrity of configuration.Yaml, it but that doesn't even seem to work. Any tips or any more info I can give is greatly appreciated.
Edit: clarity, and spelling mistakes

Have to agree though, The cleanest solution would probably be to add a rotary encoder to the motor, or if you cant do that, add one to the leg of the desk so it spins as the desk moves up and down

Put some resistive wire on a springed spool like those ones that retract your keys and attach it to the bottom of the desk, measure the resistance across it.

The migration is automatic, when upgrading to this version the Zigbee firmware on your adapter will be replaced with a Matter firmware
All your Zigbee devices will stop working (we hope this is not a problem for you)
All Matter devices in your home will be paired automatically

Integration is how you use ZHA

obsidian sandalBOT
#

Integrations integrate Home Assistant with devices or services, or provide functionality within Home Assistant.

Add-ons provide additional software or services, which an integration could possibility integrate with. Add-ons are for Home Assistant OS and Supervised only, other install methods can install software other ways.

But when I'm going to add the deCONZ integration they want me to add the IP and port of the "host" I guess thats the internal IP then? But since I use the Duck DNS to access my HA do I need to type something diffrent there?

It's the IP of the machine on which deCONZ is running

Ok hey! I just recently added the deConz addon AND the deConz integration. Problem is after a reboot the IP number of the gateway changed somehow. Is there a way to manually change the IP number of the Conbee 2 ?

So whats a good tactic getting ZigBee out in my Garage? Try to put a Smart Plug in my house that is as close to the garage as possible and hope the another plug inside the garage can reach the ConBee?

sour shadow
#

What's the distance? What are the walls made of?

#

Generally speaking, if those are solid (brick/concrete/stone) walls you're going to have range issues

crimson dust
#

Its 2.5 meter from outer wall - to wall of the House and Garage.
They are made of wood.
So far I just have my ConBee in a middle room of the house, from and it is another like 5 meter inside the house. Tried sync a sensor in the garage but that didnt work. But so far I dont have any other units but sensors in the house

sour shadow
#

Generally speaking, you can expect about 6 to 8 meters between devices with a couple of plasterboard (drywall) walls

#

Wood, brick, metal, those all cut the range

#

You want to ensure you have a strong router near the outside wall - and another right inside the garage, with the signal passing through as little wall as possible

# 
 x router
--------- wall

--------- wall
       x router
``` would be a bad layout

Right ok, and with Router a Aqara Smart Plug is fine?

In zigbee2mqtt logs I'm seeing:

{"child_lock":"UNLOCK","current":null,"energy":null,"indicator_mode":"on","linkquality":null,"power":null,"power_outage_memory":null,"state":"ON","update":{"state":null},"update_available":null,"voltage":233}

Lots of nulls..

#

This is with measurement_poll_interval set to 30

uneven ruin
#

did you read the first note? seems relevant

#

duh

frigid nimbus
#

Yes, that's why I set the poll interval. Even though they are recognized as plug 1 and not plug 3

uneven ruin
#

maybe I should finish reading it too

#

sorry the duh was for me

frigid nimbus
#

So if I understand that note correctly, it shouldn't even be needed to set the poll interval..

#

but there is something else weird, I don't think they are correctly recognized

#

Because the image for TS011F looks very different from the plugs I have here

#

According to Zigbee2MQTT they are the _TZ3000_gjnozsaz variant

uneven ruin
#

just as a thought have you tried hitting reconfigure

#

I've had that clean up some minor pairing issues where things weren't working right

frigid nimbus
#

I just tried that and I saw this go by:

{"child_lock":"UNLOCK","current":0.05,"energy":null,"indicator_mode":"on","linkquality":160,"power":null,"power_outage_memory":null,"state":"ON","update":{"state":null},"update_available":null,"voltage":233}

So current is non-null now, but power and energy still null 😦

#

So still None in HASS

#

I could try an OTA update?

#

It says no update available, but the value may simply be null again

#

Sucky

#

Actually I also have a TuYa occupancy sensor, and in the beginning it reported battery level, but now that value is also null

#

Ok I think the problem is that the sensor is very conservative about including data, and zigbee2mqtt is filling the missing data with nulls

#

I connected it to my soldering iron and now power is also filled

#

Still missing energy, which means still None in HASS

Is there a way to set the default colour temperature for philips hue lights connected through zha?

mellow geode
#

you mean when the light gets re-connected to power?

jolly flume
#

Yes

mellow geode
#

yeah, there is. one sec

jolly flume
#

ok

mellow geode
#

Integrations -> ZHA -> Devices -> open Hue device -> click "Manage clusters"

(make sure that on theOnOff cluster, the attribute start_up_on_off is set to StartUpOnOff.On (0x01) -> should be the default if you haven't changed that)

then, go to the Color cluster and set start_up_color_temperature to whatever you want (default warm-white is 366)

#

this is what the dialog should look like, enter your color temperature and press the right button (Set zigbee attribute)

jolly flume
mellow geode
#

ah, that's the correct value. StartUpOnOff.On = 1 = 0x01

#

You can actually remove what's in the field, enter 1 and then set it. When you get it again, it'll read out StartUpOnOff.On again

jolly flume
#

ok, that makes sense.

#

Thanks! You've been really helpful. It seems to work.

mellow geode
#

nice!

#

I'm not sure if this is actually documented anywhere.

jolly flume
#

I would presume if i had a colour bulb there would be a start up color attribute as well?

mellow geode
#

I think you need to set the colorX and colorY values with the Philips manufacturer code

#

but yeah, it's possible
(In the Z2M code (link above), that would be the stuff around line 1983)

jolly flume
#

What is a "Philips manufacturer code"?

mellow geode
#

uh, for ZHA that's what you can enter in the second field

#

it's basically an extra parameter (for when you set the color attributes)

#

for Philips, it's 0x100b

#

normally, the colorX and colorY attributes on the Color cluster give you the current color of the bulb

#

if you set both to a custom color using the manufactuer code though, it changes the startup color for Hue bulbs

jolly flume
#

oh, ok

mellow geode
#

ah, actually. the attributes are current_x and current_y

austere patio
#

I can't seem to find any way to set the color of non-Hue bulbs this way. Color temperature, on/off, and brightness all exist though.

jolly flume
#

so if a change current_x and current_y to a value and add 0x100b as the manufacturer code it will set the default colour?

mellow geode
#

I think it should, yes.

mellow geode
austere patio
#

I think they just forgot about this use case when writing the new revision of the spec...

mellow geode
#

haha, at least something Hue did correctly

jolly flume
#

Anyways. Thanks a lot, i was almost considering moving back to the hue hub.

mellow geode
#

not sure if you already know, but you can also do firmware updates for Hue bulbs through ZHA (or, if you go newer Hue bulbs, through the Hue Bluetooth app)

#

not that it's required atm, but ZHA should do anything important the Hue hub can do

jolly flume
#

Just for future reference, roughly, how would i go about doing that.

#

I presume i would have to get the firmware from hue's website or something.

mellow geode
#

you'd need to download all images with "philips" in the domain and put them in a folder (called zigpy_ota for example)

#

put that folder in the /config directory for Home Assistant

#

and restart Home Assistant after adding that config entry.

#

Some Hue bulbs automatically check for updates, others don't.

#

So you might need to tell the bulbs that there's an update (see the "Manually initiating OTA firmware update" section in the Wiki linked above for that)
(oh, and you might want to turn on "deubg logs" (also detailed in the wiki) for as long as you're updating the bulbs, as the process is only shown there for now)

jolly flume
#

wow, i am learning a lot

mellow geode
#

There's probably some more cool stuff in that wiki

jolly flume
#

I'm skimming through it, some of it does look pretty interesting

mellow geode
#

"Philips HUE have moving away from ATMEL but have implanting the same "bug" in there new devices with Silabs EFR32MG chips."
okay, I'm not sure if everything there is 100% accurate, as newer Silabs based Hue bulbs definitely send attribute reports. (actually, newer firmware changed that behavior so that Hue bulbs with color support send them every 10 seconds if attribute reporting is configured at all (in my experience))

#

but that shouldn't matter for now

jolly flume
#

In all honesty i dont know if 10 seconds is alot or not

mellow geode
#

normally, attribute reports are only sent when the light status changes (so when a light changes color or turns on/off)

#

older Hue lights (without Bluetooth) never sent attribute reports (so they are polled in a 3 to 5 minute interval)

jolly flume
#

Could it be someway of telling when a device is unavailable

#

Like if the hub doesent recieve and attribute request in 10 seconds

mellow geode
#

might be possible. ZHA just marks them as "unavailable" in Home Assistant if they're not responding at all for a specified amount of time

#

attribute reports are more useful when a dimmer is directly bound to a bulbs for example

#

so the dimmer never interacts with ZHA/Home Assistant
but if the light supports attribute reporting, it'll send one as soon as the dimmer changes the light status

jolly flume
#

Yeah, that makes some sense

#

But i thought that the hue dimmers still connected to the hub

mellow geode
#

yeah, you add them to your network normally. But you can also pair a Hue dimmer to a light or light group

#

and it can directly control that light (group) even when "the hub" is offline
The native Hue Hub can't do this. But you can do it through the ZHA UI
(for "older" Hue dimmers, you might need to "unpair" them from the coordinator first. Then you can bind them to one light or light group)

jolly flume
#

I actually didn't know that

What coordinator are you using and how are you controlling the group of bulbs? Zigbee group commands/ZHA groups? HA groups?

Conbee II/zigbee2mqtt

I am unable to get my Gledopto LED controller (GL-C-008 2id) added to ZHA or deCONZ. Should this work with a Nortek HUSBZB-1 coordinator?

lusty yew
#

Or will that still send individually just from another spot?

austere patio
#

I'm not too familiar with Z2M but if you have to select endpoints and clusters when creating the group, that's probably creating a Zigbee group as opposed to just grouping the devices in software

hot tendon
#

I have found much greater success in grouping lights via zigbee2mqtt than with home assistant. With z2m they all switch at the same time, not so much if grouped via HA

lusty yew
#

Yea, I just made a group and it's working as expected now

#

Thanks

gaunt forge

@hot tendon That’s expected! Groups in HA aren’t Zigbee-groups. Instead they are just there for organizing your entities. But it will still send a command to each member individually.
In contrast a „real“ Zigbee group in Z2M will only send 1 Zigbee command to the group and each member receives it instantly.

Question for anyone that has Sinope's line voltage thermostats - is there a way to set the temperature display units to Fahrenheit via HA/ZHA?

#

I've gotten the impression that Sinope's Zigbee hub can do it but I don't see anything that looks relevant in HA

violet magnet
#

would I just need to add the extra attributes to zha-device-handlers?

violet magnet
#

hrmmm, it seems deeper than that

#

seems like ZHA doesn't know about cluster 0x0204 Thermostat User Interface Configuration...

#

nope, looks like it's zigpy.zcl.clusters.hvac.UserInterface

#

and zha-device-handlers is pulling it in

#

so how would I actually set it from HA and/or plumb it through?

#

I suppose the ideal would be to make ZHA set all the devices to use the temperature units set in HA?

Hey guys, I'm trying to connect my tasmota flashed sonoff mini, but it's not showing up in auto discovery.. I think it has something to do with my zigbee2MQTT install... has anyone had a similar problem?

sour shadow
#

Unlikely to have anything to do with Zigbee2MQTT

#

If you're trying to use it with the Tasmota integration then the #integrations-archived channel can help - but make sure you've followed the instructions for that integration

I'm still trying to figure out one one of my bulbs turns on or blinks without no reason (sometimes it happens with some other to, but not as often).
Since I checked all my automations even if HA doesn't say what turned it on I started to think that it could be something wrong either with the socket or the bulb itself so to check this I decided to switch off the computer where I have HA and Z2M overnight and for my surprise it didn't turn on overnight as it usually did before.
Could it be some sort of status/health message Z2M is sending to the bulb and it's not behaving correctly?

lean echo
jolly python
#

Have you tried to reset and repair it?

lean echo
#

yes

#

it was also funny that I force-removed the bulb from Z2M and the groups created in Z2M where still working from HA. Also the bulb was turning on or blinking as well

lean echo
#

I'm running HAOS with Z2M as an addon, is it possible to switch off HA and leave Z2M running? At least that'll give me a clue of where the problem is

sour shadow
#

In theory, yes, you can use the SSH add-on to stop HA core

Is there an way to update the deConz Conbee 2 addon to v2.15.0 beta version?

I answer myself... they won't as they work as part of automations in HA 😦

I'll give it a try tonight anyway

I just see the logs of my mosquitto broker bloated with this, but not sure how often this happens because of the time format it has... could it have something to do with this?

ok, I think I managed to get more stuff from the logs of Z2M... I got this a few minutes ago multiple times in my logs:

Zigbee2MQTT:info  2022-04-04 13:29:28: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/event', payload '{"data":{"friendly_name":"Tele 1","ieee_address":"0x84fd27fffe92a5a9"},"type":"device_announce"}'

#

the message type device_announced means that it got offline or something like that?

# austere patio A Zigbee group might help

I just recently went from a highly tweaked-out customized HA running in Docker Swarm to HAOS running on a Pi, and let it give me the default ZHA integration. I'm noticing that groups are one of the bits that's supported according to docs, but not exactly as straightforward as deCONZ was.

lean echo
sour shadow
#

Those publish messages were made by Z2M

lean echo
#

And what does the type device announce mean? I saw it happening multiple times for this bulb and then followed by a turn on message

#

I don't control any of those bulbs individually, only via Z2M groups, that's why I find it so weird that individual bulbs turn on

sour shadow
#

That's likely the device (re)joining the network

Not sure if I'm using ZHA incorrectly, but setup of the integration returns errors in the log relating to timeouts. Any tips?

well what do you know, i update to lates Supervisor and restart everything and BOOM, zigbee starts fine, gledopto controller pairs! Is there a preferred device manager I can leverage with my stick? deCONZ looked like a good one but not supported with my Norte

austere patio
#

ZHA and deCONZ both manage Zigbee devices but if you want to switch to deCONZ, you'll need a new coordinator

Zigbee2MQTT has support for the Nortek, though it's still relatively new

Hi, I did a fresh HA install and restored a backup. Using Zigbee2Mqtt Edge. Mosquitto is running but I cannot start Zigbee2mqtt. Can someone help me here, I tried everything for hours now but it is not working.

Can you help what to do? The adapter is a Conbee 2

sour shadow
#

Well, you need to give it a valid path shrug

#

Make sure that you don't also have ZHA enabled

#

Make sure you only have Edge, and not the other add-on

#

Check the device paths in the Supervisor's hardware menu

Big thanks, stupid mistake. After reinstall I added the ZHA integration, I removed it and now it is working again. Thanks

I have a Zen thermostat, I can only control it for the first couple minutes after zigbee2mqtt is started. Everything else continues to work and I'm still getting temperature updates from the thermostat. Anyone know what to look into?

Hi ! i'm sorry if my question seems simple but i have a problem installing zigbee2mqtt on my home assistant installation,

I'm on a raspberry pi 4 8gb with native installation, on a conbee II dongle
i've installed the mosquito brocker and zigbee2mqtt addon from repository

I'm getting a bad gateway message, so i guess i've done something wrong, bt i've tried many tutorials and config i ca'nt get it to work 😦

sour shadow
#

The Conbee range need a specific setting for them in the Z2M config

#

If Zigbee2MQTT fails to start, try adding the following to your configuration.yaml

serial:
   adapter: deconz
