can anyone point me in the right direction on how to debug this - Zigbee2MQTT -> homeassistant with Conbee2... Z2M works, I can add Zigbee devices with no issues, however they do not show up as devices in HA. "enable newly added entitites" is enabled. Dont see any errors in the logs, so im a bit stumped on how to debug it

#

I've find that it seems like something with my server property

#

- mqtt must have required property 'server'

olive remnant
#

server is added, and MQTT explorer shows that topics are there

Ok so i've added the line server: mqtt://localhost:1883 and now i'm here

#

I had that issue, had to replace localhost with the actual IP

thorny crown
#

oh thanks, i'll try

sour shadow
#

Replace localhost with the hosts's IP

thorny crown
#

Oh thanks @sour shadow i have something new ! now i can access the zigbee2mqtt pannel many thanks ! hope it work now

#

It feels a lot better in reactivity and reliability only while pairong devices, hope it will corect the problems i had with ZHA !

#

@sour shadow can you delete my code where my password is in ? sorry i've forgot to remove if

I can delete the post in the channel, I can't delete the paste itself

If I get "[0x0000:zdo] No handler for ZDO request:ZDOCmd.Mgmt_Permit_Joining_rsp([<Status.SUCCESS: 0>])" does that mean that the zigbee stick found it, but it's not in the database eyt?

#

Hey -- I'm new to HA, and I installed it on a Pi 3 along with a USB Zigbee Hub. Lots of success connecting to some Zigbee smart plugs and proprietary Lutron Caseta switches. Having a hard time getting a device working, though.

#

Which claims to work with a "Zigbee Hub Bridge", but the instructions that come with it are specific to the Phillips Hue hub setup. I tried to add a zigbee device, and plug the thing in, and HA doesn't find it.

#

The Pi running HA is less than 2 feet from the device.

#

Not sure what to do.

#

Which one?

molten linden
#

tried to find the one I have in use but I got it in 2020, and the link in my ali orders doesn't work any more. I bought the moes one recently to put in for another hose outlet (under my kitchen sink) but haven't opened the box yet.

#

I think a preliminary quirk for that tuya knob is in the latest quirks release which is in the beta and will be released tomorrow. I have one and haven't tested it yet

wintry oriole
#

Now I'm looking at using an ESP8266. I just want a knob

molten linden
#

as with all things tuya if the manufacturer id doesn't match the quirk since it may need to be added to work. tuya is a pain in the ass, just look at some of the PRs and all the testing to try and cast "magic spells" to the devices to get them to work.

fair mountain
wintry oriole
molten linden
#

in general I think tuya just swaps the esp for zigbee radio and uses the same mcu for device control

#

the original valve I got works with no quirk though, I'll have to pair the new one to see if they f'd that up.

#

I have an another question, now i have linked my dimmer switch, i see that there no way to select action of the dimmer switch on home assistant like ZHA, one the exposes, there is an action section that i see are triggered by the switch but i dont know how to use the actions ?

#

it's this switch

jolly python
#

You can use a blueprint

thorny crown
#

Oh, it seems like when i trig the actions on the dimmer, the actions that i've triggered are available on the automation

#

i definitely miss something here

jolly python
#

But there are blueprints for this switch that are very helpful

thorny crown
#

@jolly python thanks for your reply ! about the blueprint i have tried but i'm new so i dont understand about the "dimmer mqtt topic" or sometimes they ask for a variable entry that i can't remember i search it now

#

Ah yes helpers !

#

i've tried it with ZHA maybe that don't work with zha ?

jolly python
#

That works with z2m

thorny crown
#

ah yes i had this one but can't make it to work

#

because of this i think : (Required) Helper - Last Controller Event

jolly python
#

Yes you need to create a helper (text)

thorny crown
#

i'll try again

#

i just create a text helper and add it in right ?

jolly python
#

Yes

thorny crown
#

Oh it workd !! many thanks @jolly python , it wasnt working with zha but now with mqtt i had more luck

#

one weeks ago i was doing my automations without trigger and only with automations, it's a lot better with that and triggers

Hi, wanted to ask why installing zigbee device and then moving HA instance and devices to another house is a bad idea.?

austere patio
#

Child devices usually stick to one parent router. If that router moves but the connection is just strong enough for the device to sometimes communicate, you'll experience issues

Hey I tried out an Aqara smart plug via my Conbee 2. on/off works without problem. But all other sensors stays "unavalible" and the energy metering says "Unknown" .. any tips to get this working?

Shame as I sent back my £35 ST plug because this was same thing for £9

Ah, seems ZHA doesnt support energy trough the smart plugs. So I guess Zigbee2MQTT is the way to go then

Aqara often does not comply with their products 100% to the zigbee protocol

Ah, nice

#

I thought my z2m integration had died in the 1.24 -> 1.25 update, but it just took a couple of extra minutes to come up

olive remnant
#

my z2m refuses to show my devices in HA, at this point im starting to wonder if I need to do a complete reinstall of HA

timber frigate

#

@nme a re-install won't fix a setup error.

olive remnant
hot tendon
#

So is discovery enabled in both ha's mqtt setup and in z2m?

olive remnant
#

as far as I can tell, yes

#

I can see that z2m is connected to the MQTT broker and the topic (hue bulbs) is being broadcast

#

but HA isnt discovering the devices

hot tendon
#

In z2m's configuration.yaml do you have homeassistant: true?

olive remnant
#

homeassistant: true - yes

hot tendon
#

are there config topics in mqtt under the homeassistant/ topic?

olive remnant
#

no, the homeassistant topic only consists of status = online

hot tendon
#

And topics under the homeassistant folder?

olive remnant
#

none

hot tendon
#

Ok. When you look at ha, then configuratio, devices & services, mqtt can you check if discovery is enabled?

olive remnant
#

"Enable newly added entities."

#

is enabled yes

#

and "enable discovery" is as well

hot tendon
#

All very weird. I asume you see your devices in the z2m gui?

I did the trick to my Aqara smart plug with the Downgrade of the quirk so now I can see the effect in W. But the "summation delivered" is still at 0 and the "identify" is "unknown". Is this how it should be? Or is this as good as I can get it? 😛

austere patio
crimson dust
#

wait, now it says "0.002 kWh" 😛

austere patio
#

Is this before or after you downgraded packages?

crimson dust
#

after! Before I did anything all was unkown

#

only thing that worked before was on/off hehe

austere patio
#

"class": "zigpy.device.Device" says that no quirk is applied at all

#

Was this different before?

crimson dust
#

Sorry, I didnt notice this before :S

#

checked the logs and it said installing python package

#

restarted my HA... added the plugg again.. did a reconfigure.. done

#

Should I try and redo it?

#

is "class": "zigpy.device.Device" wrong?

austere patio
#

It's not a matter of having the correct quirk applied, the device just doesn't have a fully functional quirk to begin with

crimson dust
#

well I did the thing again and it still "device.Device"

#

and Watt and Kwh seems to work now anyway so I guess it did something?

austere patio
#

It just removed the quirk. It would be interesting to see what happens if you completely remove the custom deps addon, delete /config/deps/, and restart HA so that it loads the quirk but for a device that has been "configured" too

crimson dust
#

But shouldnt the addon be downgrading the quirk?

#

Ok should I remove the plug to ZHA as well?

#

hm but the Custom deps addon seems to be off, dont it need to be running?

austere patio
#

The addon downgrades the quirks package to a version that just doesn't have a quirk written for that device

crimson dust
#

Ah ok!

austere patio
#

I think the quirk possibly works, the device may need to be configured and the quirk has SKIP_CONFIGURATION: True,

#

So setting it up before the quirk loads may get it functional, then letting the quirk get applied may get the rest working

crimson dust
#

Hm this a bit over what I understand lol but I did as you said

austere patio
#

To try that out, remove that custom addon and delete /config/deps/. Don't remove the device and the quirk should get applied again.

crimson dust
#

restarting now!

#

btw, what is a Quirk? 😄

#

like a firmware to the plug?

austere patio
crimson dust
#

Will check!

#

Cool, now it says:
"class": "zhaquirks.xiaomi.aqara.plug_mmeu01.Plug"

#

And now the identify show up as well in the entities of the plugg

#

and the rest as well , coool!

#

so you seems to have fixed it 😛 thx!

austere patio
#

Thanks, this should help fix it for others

crimson dust
#

Cool 🙂

#

Oh one last thing, I had a magnetic contact connected via the Smart Plug before I did all this removing.. and it looks a bit lonely now in the visualization with no connections. Do I need to remove it and re-bind it again or is there any other trick to again get it to connect trough the Smart Plug?

austere patio
#

I wouldn't worry about the visualization, it's an approximation of the network state

crimson dust
#

So it should still be working? Its out in the garage 😛

austere patio
#

You should be able to check via its "last seen" attribute, or if ZHA considers it "offline"

#

But if it's disconnected in the visualization, that doesn't mean it doesn't work

crimson dust
#

Aha! I though those lines where if they were connected and how strong the connection was? But yeha it actually seems to be working 🙂

#

hm, doesnt say offline, but doesnt react if I open the door

crimson dust
#

Did a reconfig and now it seems working again :)

Hi! Hue Motion Sensor and Z2MQTT, how do I setup so the sensor clears directly? For example: if I’m passing the sensor, it turns on the lights. If I manually turn them off (not in range of the motion sensor) and pass the sensor again arter 5-10 sec, the lights won’t turn on. My occupancy_timeout is set to 0

crimson dust
jolly python
junior viper
# jolly python The sensor only refreshes its value all 10 seconds circa as far as i know

Should be fair enough for me. Still won’t work. Used one Z-Wave sensor before, which works better. Just wanted to test the hue as it fits better inside and the Z-Wave one is a bit overkill 😅 the Hue sensor sits above my bedroom door, just outside one toilet door. If I pass the sensor, the light turns on for 5 mins (as intended). If I leave the bathroom after 5 minutes and 10 seconds, the sensor won’t turn lights on.

jolly python
#

The bathroom?

junior viper
#

Just as an example:)

jolly python
#

It should work like this: you run through the field of the motion sensor, the sensor turns on the light, then you leave the field, after circa 10secs the motion sensor changes its state to ‚no motion‘. If you now enter the field again it should instantly change its state to ,motion‘ again

junior viper
#

Hmm.. so, if I manually test it, it should work? Pass the sensor, lights goes on. In HA, turn lights off immediately after they’ve turned on. Then pass the sensor again - still no luck here

#

It’s like the sensor delays at the ’clear’ phase

jolly python
#

No, that does not interupt your automation, if you turn of the light manually

#

Look into the state of the motion sensor under development tools

junior viper
#

Ok, that’s different than my Z-Wave sensor. The exact same automation, but different device

jolly python
junior viper
#

Changes to true as soon as I pass it

#

That way it seems right. Could be the 5 min delay in my automation that mess things up?

#

Removed the delay off action, still delays 😦

jolly python
#

Dunno, could be, you probably should change the automation to restart

#

And look into debugging the automation

junior viper
#

Or just ditch the hue 🤣

#

Thx anyway buddy! 👍🏻😊

jolly python
#

Yeah does not look like it’s the problem, i have 6 of them all working wirhout a problem

junior viper
#

Mind sharing one of your automation or your config?

#

If you’re using Z2M*

jolly python
#

Especially if the change of the state is working properly

Hi! I'm trying to solve the following problem: adapt my regular light switch to work with smart bulb. I got a sonof minizb switch. I was able to add it to home assistant via ZHA directly as a zigbee device via CC2531 USB dongle, no sonof hub involved. However I can't figure out how to configure it so it does not ever cut the power off. I'm able to create an automation that turns it on in case of toggle event however that leads to the light bulb blinking because the switch first turns the power off and the HA turns it back on. What's the right was to solve it? It was suggested that I may need to decouple it but I'm not sure how one does that.

timber frigate
#

I have a question and I hope someone here can awnser it I was looking at the quirk for the sage doorbell sensor and it has the buttons listed in it and according to HA it is uisng that quirk so I am wondering if there is away to see the raw data the zibeeadapter is seeing cause i am confused how the events can't be there if the config files has then in it

when you go to devices and bring up the device, you have a series of panels Device Info, Sensors etc and there is one called Automations. Click the little plus button, what do you see?

timber frigate
timber frigate
hot tendon
#

That is fine, you have 2 event based automations available, as shown in your screenshots. One for "First button" button pressed and same for second button. How many were you expecting to see? It appears to be exactly what I'd expect. To test, choose one of those and automate, say, a persiatent notification from it. Then press the button and you should see a notification

#

Actually it is probably more correct to call them device based rather than event based.

hot tendon
#

hello @timber frigate ?

timber frigate
hot tendon
#

Someone had to point it out to me too. The other way to get there is make an automation via the editor. Set the trigger as device, choose the device and the editor should populate the possible events for you.

timber frigate
hot tendon
#

Pretty well all button devices in zigbee work this way, and zwave too I think, now did you get your smart knob paired? I suggested a new battery but we may have mixed up the two devices, ie the knob and the sage doorbell.

Ooops I think it is me who was confused, the knob was @wintry oriole .

#

the wind must be blowing in the wrong direction here for pairing new zigbee devices

hot tendon
tall pike
#

Yes, sure...so you could use the switch to toggle the on/off state of the bulb, but the bulb's native controls to change brightness, colour, temperature.

#

Best if you can decouple the switch so that mains power to the bulb is always on. But barring that, I think you would need a workaround like this.

lusty yew
#

Found out how to tell when a Lutron Aurora dimmer is pressed vs the dial turned. Turning the dial won't take the brightness below 2 so the button was pressed when either the old_state or new_state brightness is 0 and the action is 'brightness'.

Hi ! i have a weird behavior with a group of zigbee light that sometimes don't turn off, i use a group in zigbee2mqtt, i'm at 255lqi and if i use them manually i don't see any problem, they are linked to only one simple automation with a motion sensor and the others light in this automation are turned off normally but sometime not theses ones

Even in the history they are annouced off

junior reef
# tall pike Maybe not all smart relays are able to be decoupled. Check out the docs for your...

I already have a bunch of Philips Hue bulbs and want to avoid having the power being cut off when regular switch is used. I know that not everything can be controlled but it's still an improvement. I was also hoping that I could find a way to create events like "switch was toggled 2 or 3 times in a row" but that's for later. Given that the product claims to be compatible with Philips Hue I would expect that it is smart enough to be configured to keep the power on all the time. https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switch/zbmini/ Having done a bit of research it looks like I need to tinker manage clusters section but it's not clear what exactly needs to be done.

Anyone had broken Zigbee buttons since 2022.4 update? None of my button automations are triggering despite seeing the defined data when listening to that event.

Has anyone used zigbee in-wall switch modules without wiring the consumer (light) leads? For example in a wall light switch: short the light so it's always on and leave the module powered but not wired to physically control the light.
Use case: Smart lights (zigbee routers). Switch would be used as a trigger in HA.
Is this even possible?

junior reef
#

I believe it is and that's the problem that I'm trying to solve to keep my smart light bulbs always powered on. One needs to re-configure the switch, decouple the switch function and then re-program it to do something else like send a signal somewhere. However I have not figured out how exactly to do it with my sonof zigbee switch

midnight widget
#

I was looking at sonoff myself

#

What do you think of this low tech solution @junior reef ? I'm not an electrician, mind you

junior reef
#

That's also a bit beyond my knowledge since I'm also just getting started. The switch that I have expects neutral wire, the wiring instruction can be seen on the product page: https://sonoff.tech/product/diy-smart-switch/zbmini/ So I'm unsure if it's possible to make it work without neutral. I heard that there are other switches that work without neutral but have not looked into it.

midnight widget
#

If the switch has a neutral connector, then it's almost guaranteed it needs the neutral connector. There is usually a separate model without the neutral, like the one i drew

I'm in the same boat. All of my TRADFRI devices mostly can't trigger automations now, after updating to 2022.4.0. We're not alone—see @edgy crescent and @bold bane above, and this page: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/69375#issuecomment-1092103981

I don't know what they're talking about but it seems like they're making progress. Hopefully they'll get the fix worked into the core ASAP—I imagine this was a pretty serious breaking change for lots of people. Our buttons don't work any more!!

Unrelated to our current software woes—I actually did just throw away a TRADFRI remote, mistakenly thinking it was broken hardware. My remote was pairing fine but then when I put the battery door back on, it would stop working. Turns out there's a known issue where when the battery door pops closed, the battery pops out. I threw it away but probably could have just stuffed something in there to hold the battery still. 😩

I'm contemplating whether to fully replace my Tradfri Gateway with my Pi with HA on it, or keep both and use the Tradfri-Integration.
So far I'm using the later, and it works just fine. But it seems like a waste of energy to have two devices running. Is there any advantage to keeping the Gateway?
Only thing I could think of is Firmware Updates, but I'm finding some reports on Google that that's apparently also possible via HA? Couldn't find anything that looked recent and maintained on that though.

fallow socket
#

Not sure about firmware but I've never had an issue with running it directly through HA. I just have blinds though

austere patio

#

Blinds is actually the reason I'm migrating away from just the Gateway :D

#

it hates half of my blind switches, only allowing me to raise them, but not lower.

fallow socket
#

Another question. I'm trying to perform OTA updates via ZHA for the blinds. when I hit manage cluster, OTA, image notify and then hit "issue zigbee command" I get an error that the value "payload_type" is required. Any idea what to do?

tall pike
#

Haha I got the Tradfri hub with the first batch of Tradfri stuff I bought, but decommissioned it after switching to HA one month later! Never looked back since. I don't think there is a benefit to keeping the Tradfri hub running. If all your Tradfri stuff is through the Tradfri hub, they actually constitute a separate ZigBee network with the hub as coordinator. And that hub is not a particularly good ZigBee coordinator. But if you merge all your ZigBee devices into one network by foregoing the Tradfri hub, the whole is stronger.

odd, not allowed to upload pics. anyway, I got some "Smart Lighting Base", basically a light bulb base and socket so you can control (on/off) a regular light bulb over zigbee. AICase E0755
It identifies in zigbee2mqtt as an eWeLink ZB-SW01
It works .... kinda. Its a bit sparodic on the on/off, and pretty much never turns off when I do a big batch turn off. It reports wrong (or perhaps fails to report) a fair bit of the time. Its sort of a unique device I'd like to use ... any settings I might use to help sort it out?

Opinion: Would you run HA on wifi to be able to place your zigbee dongle in the middle of your house? Or create a better mesh?

are there any zigbee smart USB plugs eg for phone chargers out in the world for purchase? I have a charger connected to a smart plug and the whole thing sticks way too far out from the wall.

hmm, my Ikea GUNNAR LED is still not reacting to switch toggles after 2022.4.1

#

it shows the switch state change in ZHA interface but the lamp won't turn on

#

I don't think it's good practice that the beta and stable tags are pointing to the same release in the beginning of the month

#

2022.4.1 fixed some of my buttons, but not all

phew, the zigbee.db backup I had from couple days ago fixed my devices

Anyone using a Digi XBee S2C? I bought an enclosure for a project and it had all of its previous guts in it to include an S2C SMA module. Out of curiosity I looked them up and it appears that they will work with ZHA. Anyone know how the signal strength is for these? Currently have a Nortek Combo.

Isn't the xbee ancient?

#

They're supported but I have never seen anyone use them so it may not be as bug-free as the HUSBZB-1 or the TI chips

#

Possibly, but they still sell for between $70-100 at various places. I also like to tinker, so I thought I might give it a whirl.

I actually have a little bit of untested code for the next version of zigpy-xbee that would love to be tested by someone with an XBee S2C :). If you want to give it a shot and help out development a little, send me a PM (https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-xbee/pull/123)

Hi guys, I'm an 100% beginner in HA. Just got my self a zigbee 3.0 usb dongle plus, I'm running HA on W10 via Virtual Box and need some reading material on how to make HA recognize this dongle, so I could use it as a hub for other zigbee sensors to be integrated? Could please someone lead me to a link or some online docs? Much appreciate it! Kind regards, Adrian

#

Many thanks, manju_rn did not knew that I had to add it in VM. Manage to do that, but now when I try to start ZHA in config -> integration its asking to choose radio type, mine being a EXSP silicon labs and after I select it is asking for serial device path... here is have a problem finding it... Now, i went to add-ons / system / hardware -> and i copied the USB1 device path from there without any luck. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong but my lack of experience doesn't help :)) Any ideas how can I find this SERIAL DEVICE PATH? "Also, how are you running the HA in the VM?" - I've downloaded a virtual image disk from here: https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/windows#download-the-appropriate-image and run the step by step config if that's what you've asked me..

lost patrol
#

Not sure, but I think I might have to flash it since in W10 management its shows as Silicone CP210x and not CC...

bronze prism
#

can you try checking "/dev/serial/by-id" ?

The sonoff dongle 3.0 come preflashed but you can always flash it again.

graceful vapor
#

is there a zha command to force a device to restart?

edgy crescent
#

Depends on the device and if it supports a restart function

graceful vapor
#

If I try reconfiguration it just says "failed" on that device

#

my office LED GUNNARP has not been well since the 2022.4 upgrade and downgrade to 2022.3.8. should I just physically unplug the sonoff USB controller and hope it will sort itself out?

#

it works weirdly, like I can change brightness with a 5-sec delay

#

and when i turn it on in the GUI it will revert after 10 seconds back to off

Will the IKEA Trådfri Signal Repeater work as a Zigbee Repeater for ZHA?

jolly narwhal
#

Yes

crimson dust
#

Ok cool !

jolly narwhal
#

The outlets too

#

And the bulbs

#

And the fixtures

#

Tradfri > * for most imo

Cool, and quite cheap

jolly narwhal
#

Yes, i have about 80+ tradfri devices in my house

#

The rest are mostly aqara

#

Yeha I have one Aqara smart plug mostly to use it as a repeater to reach out in my garage. But they cost alot more than the Ikea repeaters

Most of them are now on the third year of battery, and still going

Cool ! But they wont act as repeaters right?

jolly narwhal
#

No

#

They don't have to when I have 80+ routers

crimson dust
#

I have a goal to try reach my Greenhouse with my ZigBee network in order to automate it. But then I have to go trough my Garage 😄

jolly narwhal
#

I do that

crimson dust
#

So just put outlets all the way out?

jolly narwhal
#

Nope, all my outdoor fixtures have tradfri bulbs in them, so they reach 25m from the house to my mailbox, plus I picked up my neighbours zigbee lights too

#

I have a cc2531 with external antenna in my office that reaches my greenhouse 7-8m away

crimson dust
#

Ah ok, can you put that cc2531 in any power outlet with an USB connection?

#

I'm in the start of building my ZigBee network.. so wondering how I should think

#

I have a ConBee 2 .. one Aqara Smartplug, 2 aqra temps sensors and one door sensor

jolly narwhal
#

Yes

#

Can even be put in a TV with a usb port, or a computer, or anything

#

You are better off with bulbs or outlets for repeating

#

Function plus repeating

#

Not just repeating

crimson dust
#

Yes that's what I was thinking! Better to have a repeater that also give me something extra 🙂

What’s the deal with routers? Can you plug something like a slaesh into usb power and it will work or does it have to go thru a Pi or something?

jolly narwhal

You have to flash it with router software

And pair it to your mesh

#

But it makes more sense to use bulbs and outlets

all my bulbs are br30 and the can really dampens the ability to mesh

It's not network level problems

It's literally not loading the config or anything

Literally removing the device from the system does nothing. I still can't remove the integration, configure it, or interact with it in any way

Nothing

Like, usually when it hangs the button clicked stays highlighted for ~2s, but since "delete" closes the window where the button is, I can't tell if it hangs similarly or not

But nothing happens when pressing "delete"

My current idea was to make it toggle whatever group of lights it was controlling for 250ms when changing control but an LCD showing which light was being controlled would be cooler.

If I could increase the reporting rate for the dial while it was rotating it'd be perfect.

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.

Still can't figure out how to get ota updates over zha.

If that's the case, then your devices are already running the latest firmware

You can manually initiate OTA updates for routers using zha.issue_zigbee_cluster_command:

  ieee: ec:1b:bd:ff:fe:2f:41:a4
  endpoint_id: 1
  cluster_type: out
  command_type: client
  cluster_id: 0x0019
  command: 0x00
  args: [0, 100]
#

The debug log will contain everything the device sends and whether or not an OTA update was initiated (and why)

#

If you've left it running for two days, every IKEA device capable of updates would have checked in and requested a new image multiple times

fallow socket
#

I don't see anything in my logs or any changes when I check the cllusster command and check the date and versions

will the above servce ieee apply to all my devices or should I change the ieee for each device

austere patio
#

One per device if you want to manually initiate OTA, though all it does is get the device to check in "right now"

yep. tried that for each device

and device doesn't seem to udpate

Hi,
I've been directed here from #general-archived ...
I’m a beginner with home assistant and hope you can help me.
I have a couple of different Zigbee plugs. One to turn lights on/off (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09N43BBC1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and the other (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09N43BBC1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to monitor the energy of a couple of devices.

Last night at 23:43 both of the energy monitoring smart plugs randomly turned off..
as suggested in #general-archived I checked the logbook.. from there it seems that the Washing Machine plug turned it's self off without a command from HA.. there is no log entery around the same time from the fridge saying it turned off. The only evidence that it turned off was the power graph hitting zero at the same time..
This morning after having turned on the washing machine plug again and running a washing cycle, the plug again turned off twice..

The only Automation i have is to turn lights on/off at dusk/dawn.

The only controller I have is HA via this USB dongle (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07PZ7ZHG5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
My HA is running on a VMS on Unriad, using the KVM image (https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/alternative)

Can any one help?

so maybe it's not worth switching then

I'm not complaining, I like having them available to put other actions on :D
Just wondering if with the next Bugfix-Release (I read something about there being an issue with those buttons recently) they'll get back to their normal mode of operation again.

# bronze prism I don't really know.. but could they have been disconnected? (did they still app...

do you mean disconnected from HA? if so, no.. they where/are both still in HA and can be controlled...
They are both behind the appliance so a pain to get to manually.. but when i noticed both where off, I used HA app to turn them back on..

Not 100% sure about the power draw question .. the fridge is a tiny pull compared to the washing machine ... and that (the washing machine) was working fine for about 3 days with washing being done.. the same washing cycle has been used for all the washes so 🤷‍♂️
From the graphs the power used was the same.. but last night when it turned off the washing machine was not even in use.

I have an automation to turn on lights based on motion with the hue sesnor.
Included is a condition that a lux level is a certain threshold

Problem is that the sensor doesn't update that value frequently enough after the lights have turned off, so the next time the motion is triggered, the lux value is not low enough for the automation to trigger

Are there any hacks out there to get the sensor to update lux more frequently?

Looking at the logs on mine, zigpy_deconz just stops doing anything when the network locks up, logs just stop from it. maybe i'll try just removing devices i rarely use and see if i can get it stable enough until the sonoff stick arrives. already at the latest firmware.

Also, what happens if you turn on the plug for washing machine and let it sit that way for a day? (Not actually turning the washing machine on, just giving it power)
Does the plug also turn off then?

# mellow geode Do you have any remotes/Zigbee buttons?

Hi,

  1. nope no buttons or remotes only HA..
  2. in between washes it's been fine .. the time between washes as been from hours to a day.. during that time the washing machine has been either off or in standby.. during these times its seems to be fine...

But I can't turn it on. I successfully paired it with Z2M, but when y tap on the on switch I can listen a click on the plug, but after a second it goes back to off

Could it be that is broken?

#

It shows as TS011F_plug_1, so I don't think I have the bad firmware

#

I can see the led remains blue (only after I change from Z2M to show always the led) and in the documentation says if its not red the pairing wasn't successful, but what else I can do?

Hello, I have a Tuya wifi boiler switch for the last few years. Now new Tuya integration is quite unstable and can't depend on it. I've tried TuyaLocal but I think the protocol isn't supported. So another dead end. I looked in the supported devices for Z2M but no boiler switch to be found. I found this device (https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005002878571524.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.0.0.5f475a4bRaaEnb&algo_pvid=24bf02de-0691-4fe1-9cdb-5a6483e77b36&algo_exp_id=24bf02de-0691-4fe1-9cdb-5a6483e77b36-0&pdp_ext_f={"sku_id"%3A"12000022591529073"}&pdp_pi=-1%3B19.0%3B-1%3B-1%40salePrice%3BUSD%3Bsearch-mainSearch) but not sure if it will work.

I have a dual dimmer that is discovered and almost works. On/off state reporting and control works and remote brightness control works. The only thing that does not work is reporting brightness if it is changed on the device. See https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/12037 What is the best way of fixing this? A new external converter file for the device or updating the exiting device it is discovered as (two of)?

So I'm curious. I've got a reasonably large zigbee network with 150 devices or so on z2m. I've tried adding roughly 20 or so C2652 sonoff 3.0's flashed as routes and 4 or 5 TubeZB routers. Network is on channel 21 which was lowest traffic using sniffer. Interestingly most of the routers become offline over time. I also still deal with lots of delays on the network. Recently repositioned my coordinator to try and be more central without significant improvement. House is 2 stories and an attic at roughly 4700 square feet. Anything I can do to improve the stability of my network that anyone can think of?

#

Should I go with two networks?

#

I'm also getting some buffer full errors

#

Request 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/permit_join' failed with error: 'SREQ '--> AF - dataRequestExt - {"dstaddrmode":2,"dstaddr":"0x000000000000fffd","destendpoint":242,"dstpanid":0,"srcendpoint":242,"clusterid":33,"transid":118,"options":0,"radius":30,"len":6,"data":{"type":"Buffer","data":[25,91,2,10,0,0]}}' failed with status '(0x11: BUFFER_FULL)' (expected '(0x00: SUCCESS)')'

unborn orbit

#

I believe I saw buffer size tweaks in the most recent Z2M Z-Stack patch

#

You shouldn't normally see BUFFER_FULL

#

Unless maybe you have a ton of offline devices and are trying to contact them all concurrently

unborn orbit
austere patio
#

I'm not sure what conditions Z2M requires to consider a router "offline" but if it's anything like ZHA, which waits for a router to send a message of some sort and then try contacting it as a last resort, the router would have to be completely unreachable and truly "offline"

#

Are you saying that the "offline" router devices are still reachable?

unborn orbit
#

They seem to go "offline" then online at a later bpoint in time though many remain offline indefinitely

austere patio
#

Debug logs would be useful. Did you pick channel 21 based off of an energy scan? If so, do you live in an area where WiFi networks won't commonly move channels and new networks won't show up?

unborn orbit
#

I mean 16 of my 2652 routers are offline which seems crazy to me

#

I did base channel 21 based off of energy scan

#

I've got two neighbors with channels that inferfere in channel 15 range

austere patio
#

As in non-standard 2.4GHz WiFi network channels (not on 1, 6, or 11)?

unborn orbit
#

min'es on 6, neighbor with largest signal is on 1 and another weak on 11

austere patio
#

Those should stay away from Zigbee channels 15, 20, and 25+26

unborn orbit
#

You think that could be part of the issue? I was wrestling with changing to channel 20

#

reincluding everything is a pain but if it'll fix issues i'm willing to do it

austere patio
#

I would run a second energy scan to confirm nothing has changed. Let me double check if it's possible but I think it should be possible to run an energy scan on a non-coordinator device, maybe network conditions are significantly different where the offline routers are

unborn orbit
#

i've done that in the past using one of the routers do it

#

i was wondering if a non standard channel was messing things up

austere patio
#

As in the router device itself, flashed with coordinator firmware? Or using the router on your current Zigbee network, plugged in exactly where it is?

unborn orbit
#

#

if i need to switch channels, what is best way to do it? Can I now accomplish this in z2m or should I use cc2538 bsl tools?

austere patio
#

Z2M will let you switch the channel in its config but it's probable that none of your devices will migrate. Does your network have many non-router devices (i.e. sensors)?

unborn orbit
#

decent amount but more routers than sensors

austere patio
#

I would first collect a days worth of debug logs and see what error codes your coordinator throws when you try to contact the offline devices and if there's some pattern to this. Changing channels is sort of a last resort and may not even help.

At least for my network, I have a half dozen bulbs that are routers that are frequently turned off. Where SyamN keeps their routers all turned on, my problem is slightly different.
In a previous version, the powered off lights were not a problem, the network still came up after about 3 or 4 minutes. In 202204 it is much longer, once up to an hour.
My solution was to delete all my bulbs from zigbee, but that kinda sucks.
I have a new sonoff stick on order, but if this is caused by something in ZHA I guess it might not help

# crimson dust Thanks!

I've got several Lidl devices working with Zigbee2MQTT. So far they work quite well (Light Bar, Led Strip, Bulbs). I tried it out with Deconz and had a 3-4 second delay but don't know where it came from. Don't had other devices of other manufacturers to compare with. The Motion sensor seemed a bit slow so I sent it back. Will try Aqara here next. The lights do not support transition so if you'd like to do this you'll probably need to implement it manually with HA. The transition is shown in Zigbee2Mqtt as parameter but I found it doesn't make a difference if I change the value.

austere patio
#

"Fix" for that should make it into 2022.4.3

old kernel
#

are you going to roll back the acks/manual route change?

austere patio
#

For now. It improved request reliability on my own network but I don't have enough info yet to figure out why enabling ACKs causes requests to just outright fail for some people.

old kernel
#

my guess is that this is a firmware bug that we've inadvertantly revealed, and we'd have to somehow convince deconz to fix it...
it may be specific to networks that have a bunch of unreliable nodes/routes

#

on my network for example, i have a bunch of ledvance bulbs, which announce themselves as routers, but if you route too much through them they crash and restart (helpfully turning on the light on the restart)

#

I had hoped there would be a way to tell the coordinator to tell everything else that a router shouldn't be routed through because it's unreliable, but no dice so far!

#

Could you make it so that ACKs can be turned on and off by config/service command/etc?

austere patio
#

Routing can't really be controlled in zigbee with the exception of source routes for packets leaving the coordinator

old kernel
#

yeah... which is why the real solution is to not spend $3 per bulb on my 30-ish bulbs

austere patio
#

Under what conditions would you need to change whether or not ACKs are enabled?

old kernel
#

If you're on a network like yours, ACKs make it work better. On a network like mine, ACKs make it self-destruct

austere patio
#

Making it configurable I think is going to mask whatever underlying problem is causing this. Other radio libraries (e.g. ZNP for TI sticks) enable ACKs automatically for certain types of commands and I've not seen any problems yet.

#

When you say "self destruct", do you mean the increased startup time problem? Or the network doesn't work well even after ZHA is up and running?

old kernel
#

It took anywhere from 10 minutes to an hour to start up, and then I would send one command to a light and it would go unavailable for another 10 minutes

austere patio
#

That's not good 😆

old kernel
#

"it" being the whole network, not just that light

#

yeah

austere patio
#

Is your Conbee running the latest firmware?

old kernel
#

it is

austere patio
#

And you're saying that toggling a single light caused the whole network to stop functioning for that long?

old kernel
#

It seemed to. I wasn't sitting poking it and hoping for the whole time.

austere patio
#

Hmm. Debug logs would be very useful here but your installation for some reason can't handle it being enabled.

old kernel
#

but like, i'd go down to the basement and hit the button to turn on the lights, they wouldn't turn on, then i'd walk through the dark to the apartment attached on the other side and none of the lights in there would work either, so I'd open the app on my phone and all the zigbee devices were grayed out. Checked 2 or 3 times over the next few minutes, nothing, then check 10-15 later and it's back.

austere patio
#

How long after ZHA startup was this?

old kernel
#

10-20 hours?

#

not sure precisely

austere patio
#

Hmm, that's plenty of time

old kernel
#

there's some WAF here too. If I add all the osram bulbs back in so i can turn logs back on and get it to fail, she's going to be pretty annoyed that the house is broken 🙂

#

Separately I feel like the deconz sticks and such should be a little further down the list on the HASS docs pages... They are the top recommended stick on the page, while if you come in here and say "Which stick should I get" the answer is invariably one of the TI2652's (zig-a-zig-ah, sonoff, slaesh, tube, etc) as a first choice, then "well conbee is good too"

austere patio
#

Docs PRs are definitely appreciated 😄. People seem buy the Conbee because it is readily available on Amazon, but I think Sonoff is now selling their CC2652 on there as well for significantly less.

old kernel
#

I can throw one in a bit later, sure

austere patio
#

I wouldn't go so far as saying that the device is fundamentally flawed and not recommended (since some people with massive networks seem to use it without issues), but it's just a significantly more restrictive platform than the other sticks and you're at the mercy of the firmware for a lot of things.

old kernel
#

I think I might just change the order so that the TI is first instead of third.

Conbee works, and is used with massive networks, though as a closed system it is more restrictive, yeah, and when there are problems it's a bit harder to figure them out as a result, we're dependent on a small only-somewhat-responsive company to fix firmware issues.
EmberZNet works in ZHA but zigbee2mqtt basically writes it off as don't buy that.

Is there a way to turn a smartthings multipurpose sensor into a tilt sensor? I can't get access to the three axis readings. It seems to only show moving for the accelerometer.

edit: just learned that you can change the type of value for the accelerometer to "garage door" instead of moving so problem solved

I am running HA 2022.4.1. Trying to pair Fyrtur blinds via ZHA with Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus. I cannot for the life of me get the blinds to pair. I held down the two buttons on the blind for 10 seconds but nothing happens. Does anyone know the exact steps? BTW the remote paired just fine.

#

I am still not able to use the up/down buttons on my 5 button TRADFRI remote, even after updating to 2022.4.3. Does it have to do with my blueprints or something now?

#

Yeah, the blueprint will have to be updated

#

args == [0, 43, 5] is no longer valid for every single IKEA remote due to firmware differences exposed in the most recent ZHA update

#

Take a look at the params dictionary present in the event instead or maybe try using args[0:3] == [0, 43, 5] as a temporary fix

ocean karma
#

Sounds easy enough. Why will adding [0:3] only be a temporary fix? Is that getting deprecated?

austere patio
#

No, args will stick around. It's just better to use the new params key since it attaches a name to every one of those numbers and lets you filter only by what's really necessary (in this instance, probably only the first number indicating the direction)

ocean karma
#

Aha

#

Great, I'll take a look at the event. Thanks. I always thought it was a little weird.

austere patio
#

If you are going to be tweaking blueprints, make sure to always compare the values against numbers as opposed to relying on the string representation. Some blueprints were broken by 0 turning into an enum member like <Direction.Down: 0> that was equal to 0.

Will zigbee devices eventually change which router to link with if there's one with better signal strength nearby?

lilac wharf
#

depends on the end device

faint quest
#

Aqara motion sensor?

lilac wharf
#

xiaomi/aqara devices are known for being "sticky"

faint quest
#

Hmm. Should I just unlink it and re-pair it in zigbee2mqtt after putting it where I need it?

lilac wharf
#

generally, the best practice is to pair devices in their intended location

ocean karma
#

Conditions for the blueprint include stuff like "{{ cluster_id == 8 }}"

#

What is the equivalent for params.step_mode ?

#

I tried "{{ params.step_mode == 0 }}" but it doesn't seem to work

austere patio
#

Try params["step_mode"] == 0

ocean karma
#

Okay, I'll try

#

params.step_mode seemed to work for this guy

#

Nope, doesn't work..

austere patio
ocean karma
#

I tried using args[0:3]== [1, 43, 5] instead, but that doesn't work either. Somehow these <StepMode>s aren't evaluating to their value in the automations

command: step
cluster_id: 8
endpoint_id: 1
args: '[<StepMode.Down: 1>, 43, 5, <bitmap8.0: 0>, <bitmap8.0: 0>]'
params: >-
  {'step_mode': <StepMode.Down: 1>, 'step_size': 43, 'transition_time': 5,
  'options_mask': <bitmap8.0: 0>, 'options_override': <bitmap8.0: 0>}
austere patio
#

Try with 1 instead of <StepMode.Down: 1> and 0 instead of <bitmap8.0: 0>. Are you providing both args and params? You only need params.

ocean karma
#

I've loaded them both in as variables but when I'm debugging I'm only testing for one or the other

#

I'm not sure what you mean. This is just what I see when I debug the automations, under "Changed Variables." But I've tried using "{{ args[0:3] == [1, 43, 5] }}" and "{{ params['step_mode'] == 1 }}" as conditions, and neither of them work

yeah, always getting back this when sending an image notify:
Failed to parse message (b'01d403020b101d01001f000100000000400000') on cluster 25, because Data is too short to contain 1 bytes

#

Seems to happen on all Hue devices I've tried it on so far

#

Yeah, I confirmed it happens on all of my Philips Hue devices that have an update available. Never had this happen before

#

If Philips/Signify broke it, they must have broken it in the last release already. That seems somewhat unlikely?

#

Could it be related to the recent zigpy ZCL v7 update perhaps?

mellow geode
#

mhm, can't find anything there at first glance

#

some random Hue dimmer is also affected and since I don't think that Hue lights and dimmers are very similar, it looks to be some kind of regression in zigpy(?)
still didn't find what could cause it though

Is there a problem right now syncing product with ZHA , the product show up they synch but it won't go further and add it to HA

glacial gyro
#

Can there be a bug in new core? I have few zha/zigbee lights on my zha and suddenly 3/10 devices are unresponsive (though, i havent been able to debug them yet since i'm at work but i'd like to them be off when i'm not at home 😂) but they're visible and on (not unavailable!) I have tried reconfiguring devices (seems like no communication at all, since reconfiguring is unable to receive any data from bulbs) and restarting HA with no luck. I even tried turn my pc on remotely and control pc to control HA locally but nope. Like the lights are frozen on

gusty pumice
#

So I had a similar thing happen to me and I bought a Sonoff 3.0 dongle. Is there any simple way I can migrate all of my zha devices from a generic CC2531?

old kernel
#

@glacial gyro which coordinator do you have?

glacial gyro
# old kernel <@267077457826414593> which coordinator do you have?

Heyy, sonoff 3.0 stick and a plot twist... There was a handyman at my home while i was working (forgot that the day was today for some measurements etc small checkup on my rooms state) and he had turned the switch off 😂😂 the weird part is that some sort of last state was in homeassistant and it showed as lights were left on...

old kernel
#

lol well that will do it

#

how do you like the sonoff 3 stick? is it the TI version or the SiLabs one?

glacial gyro
#

My friend had some problems with the stick but he has HA in docker, i'm not sure did he get it to work or not. i have the HA OS in my Pi4 and no problems on adding stick to my system.

old kernel
#

the 3.0 stick uses the SiLabs chip, the 3.0 PLUS stick with an antenna uses the TI chip if I remember right

#

i ordered the plus one, just have to wait for the slow boat from aliexpress

#

I haven't come across any migration tools for the TI firmware

#

maybe there is something TI-specific though, and since you're going from TI25xx to TI26xx maybe doable?

#

(the only migration tooling i've come across is the backup/restore over in #zwave-archived)

austere patio
#

The radio type for both sticks is znp

#

Does it correlate to restarts?

mellow geode
#

no, it seems to happen randomly. it's also not the same for different unplugged lights

#

it's nothing important, just found it a bit weird

#

The "last seen" device property is also set to a time where it definitely wasn’t online (not plugged in since yesterday)

tropic depot
#

well that's really weird... that comes from Zigpy

#

except for right after restarts

Do I need to re-pair all the devices if I move from RaspBee II to ConBee?

austere patio
#

What integration are you using?

minor shuttle
#

deCONZ

austere patio
#

It has a backup/restore feature implemented in Phoscon

minor shuttle
#

oh, nice

#

I didn't know that

mellow geode
tropic depot
#

and we'll add it to the triage list 😄

mellow geode
tropic depot
#

the last seen thing... is that just those devices?

#

that's a really odd issue

mellow geode
#

it happens on 4 different completely unplugged Philips Hue lights. "Last Seen" is seemingly randomly updated every couple of hours. it's also different between the devices

tropic depot
#

oh shit... I think I know what it is... what are the intervals per device

#

this is a really cool one... lol

mellow geode
tropic depot
mellow geode
#

will do

tropic depot
#

you should be able to get the times from the graph in logbook

#

I only need 2 devices

mellow geode
tropic depot
#

what coordinator are you using?

#

the history should still be in HA no?

#

they are state changes so I would expect them to be there

mellow geode
mellow geode
#

"night mehr verfügbar" -> turned unavilable
"ausgeschaltet" -> turned off

tropic depot
#

it is about 2 hours

#

I expected that

#

ok

#

i think I know where this comes from

mellow geode
#

doesn't have to do with the refresh interval for polling of the light though?

tropic depot
#

no it's the unavailable check itself

#

1 sec i'll show you

#

in here we start polling the device to see if it is there if we haven't heard from it

#

and for mains devices

#

the default time is 2 hours

#

so the radio libs are not throwing exceptions when these requests fail

#

and as a result... Zigpy is updating the last_seen time

#

at least this is the running theory

mellow geode
#

yeah, makes sense

tropic depot
#

yeah we are working together
