or znp, rather

austere patio
#

It's supported, just not with ZHA toolkit (which mostly has EZSP-specific tools)

fierce remnant
#

@austere patio ok, so please point me in the right direction 😉

austere patio
#

One sec, I'm digging up the code

fierce remnant
#

my device map looks a bit like this, lots of yellow and red, which probably shouldn't happen with that many routers in the network

austere patio
#

Alright, there it is. Let me test it out first to make sure it still works 😄

Perfect. Thank you!

HI all, does anyone know anyone running Zigbee Networks > 200 devices?

sterile sleet
#

tube or puddly i guess

#

some do hefty installations

coral plaza
#

Wow, that would be an insane network.

#

Smart things motion sensor on sale here for $30 ($5 off)

Does motion and temp... Wish it did light levels.

Any good?

sour shadow
#

If you want an all in one, Develco do a decent one

coral plaza
#

I'll check that out. The aqara p1 or the Philips hue sensor are high on my list.

when not trying to get sengleds to work things are pretty stable. sengled bulbs do not like my network though so I can't keep them on.

unborn orbit

#

I spent a good week + trying to help a customer with similar issues - did a ton of sniffs and came down to maybe a fw bug in the sengleds and no real good reason why. they were just getting asked to leave/rejoin and after a while would never rejoin.

# molten linden I hover around 150 on my prod instance

What I am most worried about is employees being able to pair NEW end-devices through nearby routers. This is the issue that I have with my 130 device network. I have to stand 3 feet away from the coordinator in the mechanical closet to pair. It pairs as a direct child and then I have to locate it to it's respective unit. When it gets to the unit, it has a LQI of like 13, realizes it's fucked and then jumps to a router. But I can't have this as an issue for staff who want to pair new devices on demand.

#

Have you ever experienced this issue? For the record, I am using one of your CC2652P-2 coordinators, Aqara Smart Plugs as routers and Aqara End Devices.

fleet lodge
molten linden
molten linden
#

I have a test network up from doing that troubleshooting.. 2 sengleds connected through a 2652 router to a 2652 coord and it's been rock solid for like 3 weeks now.

fleet lodge
#

That makes me feel better. I'd like to think this is an Aqara Router issue.

#

I'm running Tube CC2562P2 coordinator, eByte E72 with Z2M's Z-Stack Router Firmware as routers and then Aqara End Devices for next install.

#

Are you adjusting the dBm for your routers or just running stock +5?

molten linden
#

I compiled my own fw based off the z-stack repo one, and upped it to 9dbi back before the current release did that. but just running at 9 now.

fleet lodge
#

9 with ANT or just using PCB ANT?

molten linden
#

ipex>SMA to ~2-3 dbi ant

fleet lodge
#

Hmmmmmm

#

Also didn't realize they changed router FW to +9 default. That's very nice.

molten linden
#

on parity with what the default is with the coordinator now I think

fleet lodge
#

I've got coordinator at +20dBm....

#

Has anyone conducted tests on performance on dBm levels with regards to performance?

molten linden
#

Not sure.

fleet lodge
#

Thanks for sharing your sentiment. 'preciate it.

Would this be the right place to look for help with the Zigbee2MQTT addon in HA?

sour shadow
#

Probably

tacit lance
#

So, a few days ago, all of my zigbee devices were working just fine. I've been doing updates to HA (Running Home Assistant OS in a VM) and ran across some errors with z2mqtt related to the config and doing an update without reading the release notes (ack my failure to read). While trying to fix that, I modified the config. Today, none of my devices will respond. I'm looking for information on how to troubleshoot this further.

#

In the logs for the container, I see this:
Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-06-13 08:00:30: Publish 'set' 'state' to 'Sewing light' failed: 'Error: Command 0xf0d1b80000061b28/1 genOnOff.on({}, {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":false,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (sendZclFrameToEndpointInternal error)'

sour shadow
#

What coordinator are you using?

tacit lance
#

Would that be the sonoff zigbee to wifi bridge (the hardware)?

sour shadow
#

Yes

tacit lance
#

flashed with tasmota

#

I've tried rebooting the coordinator, but that didn't help.

sour shadow
#

It's not the best choice of coordinator, but at least it's not a CC253x stick

tacit lance
#

It's served me well so far, and I'm sure that this is my own doing while screwing around with the config

#

days ago, it was working fine for me. today when trying to turn devices on and off, I'm getting nothing. I suspect I'm not getting aa response from my sensors either, but that's less of a concern to me at the moment

sour shadow
#

failed (sendZclFrameToEndpointInternal error) sounds like an issue with the coordinator/communicating with it

tacit lance
#

Yeah, I figured there is some miscommunication somewhere, but I'm not quite sure where

sour shadow
#

If you restart Z2M does it find the coordinator still?

tacit lance
#

I guess I'm going to find out. 🙂

#

Hmmm, I'm not sure. I don't know what it normally looks like when it starts. I guess I have some place to poke around. I don't remember if this is something I would normally see:
[08:11:09] INFO: Socat not enabled, marking service as down

sour shadow
#

That's likely at the heart of your problem

tacit lance
#

yeah, at least it's a new place for me to explore for problems. Thanks for the help. Maybe I can get this resolved today and get back to cleaning up HA

fair mountain
#

lol crickets from Leviton after I pointed out tehy were givnig me clusters for another device 😦 sigh

#

hi to all, since a couple of days, my proxmox HA install gets at 100% cpu usage.

Any ideas ?
I am using the SONOFF Zigbee with lastest firmware from Zigbee2Mqtt

Last message :

Anyone knows how to identify what chipset this uses? https://expo.tuya.com/product/917031
Just wanted to check inside of Z2M supported device list if it is an endpoint device or capable of routing

Tuya ... nauseated

I've been having stability issues with my Zigbee network as of late. I'm using the Conbee II on the main floor of my house extended with a USB cable to get better coverage. It's plugged into an Intel NUC where I run a VM for HASS. My office and workshop is located in a separate building and I have been attempting to extend the Zigbee network to this building using the IKEA range extenders thy bundle with the FYRTUR blinds with limited success. I was thinking of buying the SONOFF USB 3.0 dongle for my office and running just the Z2M docker container for it and pointing it at the same MQTT server with the same topic.

Is there any reason running two sticks this way wouldn't work?

sour shadow
#

Z2M's FAQ explains how to run two instances

woeful urchin
#

so...rtfm? 😉

sour shadow
#

Well, yes, but ... you can't use the same topic

woeful urchin
#

oh, interesting...I'll have a read of the FAQ, thanks.

woeful urchin
#

I guess the need for a unique topic makes sense, since Z2M doesn't just publish blindly but also subscribes to it for its own purposes.

#

I may actually migrate to the SONOFF first to see if it performs better and then deploy the Conbee II in the secondary location if it's still necessary.

Has anyone else moved to SONOFF from Conbee II? If so, are you happier with it?

fair mountain
#

deconz always fell over on me.

#

Just stopped connecting with my controllerS.

#

and that UI .. over VNC ...

woeful urchin
#

Well, I'm not using deCONZ anymore, using Z2M....

fair mountain
#

does it fall over? why areyou switching?

woeful urchin
#

Conbee II with Z2M...

#

Trying to improve range and stability.

fair mountain
#

Move the Conbee II to a rpi and access it over ser2net and put it in some place w/o interference?

#

I actually had better luck with range with Conbee than I do with Sonoff ..

woeful urchin
#

hmm...

fair mountain
#

now I have to have my SONOFF on an RPi somewhere away from my server cabinet and access it over ser2net

#

before it was just in my rack ..

woeful urchin
#

How's the additional latency?

sour shadow
#

The ConBee has more issues with interference than the Sonoff - though both benefit from being on a USB extension cable

fair mountain
#

I dont notice. What I do notice is now my lights turn on and off when I want them to 🙂

woeful urchin
#

Is your RPi using wired Ethernet?

fair mountain
#

yes.

woeful urchin
#

All my Zigbee lights are connected to Hue hubs, it's the IKEA and Aqara products I want more stability with.

fair mountain
#

I moved my Hue lights to SONOFF

#

but Aqara you aren't going to get "more stability" from .. lol

#

my aqara I have connected to hue lights and wall switches and still they randomly have to be repaired

woeful urchin
#

The door to my office is metal, the Aqara contact sensor on it rarely works, I wonder if the metal door is the problem.

fair mountain
#

its been happening less ..

#

oh

#

I have a aqara door sensor on my greenhouse

woeful urchin
#

Maybe I'll try putting the sensor on the wood frame and the magnet on the door.

fair mountain
#

and its all metal ...

#

but I couldnt get it to work with my green house

#

er

#

I couldnt get it to work with my mail box*

woeful urchin
#

Possibly because it's inside...

fair mountain
#

and I have a xiaomi bluetooth LE on my back gate which is also all metal ..

#

and that works ..

#

but the Aqara devices dont properly follow the Zigbee standard, so they are sticky ..

woeful urchin
#

I have the Aqara on my wood gate to my driveway and it's surprisingly stable considering the distance and the low LQI.

fair mountain
#

I had 3 Hue hubs and moved all my Hue bulbs to Sonoff which has been great for my battery powered zigbee devices

woeful urchin
#

How's that work?

fair mountain
#

I have the Aqara on my wood gate to my driveway

How did you handle water proofing? My Aqara door sensors that I had installed on my two wood gates both failed due to water damage.

woeful urchin
#

ie: improving battery powered zigbee devices? Because the bulbs are routers?

fair mountain
#

Yes.

woeful urchin
#

Hmm, I'm sitting in my office right now which is lit by 6 bulbs and I have 3 other Hue lighting products in this room...maybe I should move them to Conbee

fleet lodge
woeful urchin
fair mountain
#

oh

#

I should do that with the replacements, lol.

#

I painted them so I had taken the tape off .. lol

woeful urchin
#

lol...I have had water in mine, but I dried it out very well before taping it

fair mountain
#

Because I had no problems with the Xiamio one .. and it survived -10C

#

I didnt think I needed to tape it

woeful urchin
#

Mine stopped working at roughly -10ºC, but only due to battery chemistry slowing down.

fair mountain
#

ahh

woeful urchin
#

Once warmed up, they started working again.

fair mountain
#

I have mine paired to my Hue bulbs that are on the side of my house.

#

hehe

woeful urchin
#

I have some Hue Bollards around the gate...I'm starting to see the benefit of moving all the Hue products to Conbee (or SONOFF)

#

Right now I've got the Conbee II and two Hue hubs, so three Zigbee networks.

#

And I'm sure the Sonos communicating on 2.4GHz doesn't help matters.

fair mountain
#

I love the bollards

#

What I did not love is that Hue shipped the kit with a different bulb in the bollards

#

than the single bulbs

woeful urchin
#

Yeah, but the outdoor stuff is all too expensive, so I always wait until something shows up in the used section on Amazon

fair mountain
#

so I bought the kit .. and 5 bollards ..

#

and the kit bollard was a different vesrion of the bollard ..

woeful urchin
#

Yeah, I've got three bollards, of two types.

fair mountain
#

i mean the SAME bollard

woeful urchin
#

I didn't realize there were different models.

fair mountain
#

the callala ..

woeful urchin
#

Calla and WACA? or something?

fair mountain
#

I mean there is a Calla 1741930V7

woeful urchin
#

I was wondering if Calla was an acronym around Colour and Light ambiance or something

fair mountain
#

But then there is also another number.. LTCxx I dont remember what it is

#

and they shipped the LTCxx with the kit

woeful urchin
#

or WACA White and Colour ambiance?

fair mountain
#

and the LTCxx and the 1741930V7, dont have the same colour output

#

despite them being both colour

woeful urchin
#

Mine all came with power supplies, so I guess that's the kit?

fair mountain
#

so in low light, the LTCxx looked different

woeful urchin
#

The red is different on one of mine for sure

#

K, just looked in the app, I have 2x LCF001 and 1x 1741930V7 (weird name)

fair mountain
#

oh yeah

#

LCF001 and 1741930V7

#

sorry LTC is the white flood lights

#

so LCF001 and 1741930V7 dont look the same at low light

#

(sorry if you never noticed and now notice.)

woeful urchin
#

No, I've noticed before, I decided to ignore it.

fair mountain
#

ahaha

#

I was still within my return window so I just took the kit back

#

and ended up buying the 95W power supply .. and more lights ..

woeful urchin
#

Have you looked for and found a third party source for those T-connectors?

fair mountain
#

aliexperss has them

#

the brand name is on the side of the connectors

woeful urchin
#

Yeah, I thought I had looked there.

fair mountain
#

i found them last I looked .. but ..

woeful urchin
#

I'm in a meeting though and can't walk to the driveway to check

fair mountain
#

I made a dumb mistake, I drilled a 1in hole in the side of my hoiuse when I should have just cut the cable. sadness.

#

I am also in a meeting (=

woeful urchin
#

lol...working hard

#

I don't understand the hole in the house...for power?

fair mountain
#

yea

woeful urchin
#

I just installed a new circuit on a GFCI and put a new outlet where I needed it.

fair mountain
#

i did GFCI too, but I did it inside

woeful urchin
#

I thought a network switch in the shop was standard? 😉

fair mountain
#

sadly I live in Vancouver, and only have enough room for the car

woeful urchin
#

Vancouver BC?

fair mountain
#

yea

woeful urchin

fair mountain
#

ah 🙂

#

so you understand.

woeful urchin
#

Yeah, moved to DM since not Zigbee related.

#

I am unable to start my washer when it's connected through my aqara smart plug - any ideas why? The plug is on and added to home assistant

twilit narwhal
nova flint
#

Yup, and that washer probably wants to pull closer to 16A

#

Well, technically newer spec says "Up to 13A"

twilit narwhal
daring spear
#

Looking at the washers documents I read 10A... hmm

#

What other smart plug do you recommend then?

#

Should be able to be used in HA with automations, I though Aqara was the go-to

nova flint
#

Is your intent to mainly monitor power draw and act on that? If so, I'd probably just go Shelly myself 🙂 Not zigbee, but eh

daring spear
#

Yeah using power is enough, that is all I need. Has to be EU plug, does Shelly offer that?

nova flint
#

Yup

twilit narwhal
daring spear
#

Looking at the manual now it says:
230 V
2200 W
10 A
50 Hz

twilit narwhal
#

Really depend on you country also (type F, shuko, etc.)

twilit narwhal
daring spear
#

Thanks for the help guys!

#

I though I "needed" a zigbee variant but could I get any wifi-plug with power monmitoring as well, as long as I can connect it to HA somehow?

#

Like the shelly or similar

uneven ruin
#

sure

#

depends on what you want

#

and how you want to do it

fair mountain
#

couple screws to open, can use a clamp to flash

midnight robin
#

idk what options are there for 20A heater switch zigbee that is not Tuya-based though. and is not an endpoint device. got a corridor with no power plugs to put any router devices except for replacing the water heater switch with a routing capable zigbee switch that supports 20A haha

#

@tired sage you have a zigbee IR controller?. Link of the product please

tired sage
#

re-reading the description, I see it says Smart Life App. I assumed if it was Zigbee it would work directly with HA. My mistake I guess.

nova flint
#

It is a Zigbee device, but doesn't seem to be supported by either ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT as of yet.

tired sage
#

Can anyone tell me what device will work with Zigbee and HA to control my old amp?

sour shadow
#

There's lists of known working hardware in the pinned messages

nova flint
tired sage
#

Yes, I see 😦

nova flint
#

Looking at the rest of the issue, it seems to me that it should be in a working state with some manual steps in Zigbee2MQTT (not ZHA, which you seem to be using though)

tired sage
#

Where can I go to get a better understanding of the difference between ZHA and Zigbee2MQTT? They are functionally equivalent aren't they?

nova flint
#

Ish 😄

sour shadow
#

ZHA is part of HA, Z2M is something entirely separate

tired sage
#

I think I had a VM running on my PC hosting HA that used Zigbee2MQTT a few months back.

sour shadow
#

They're broadly similar. Z2M has a bigger user base which means that some devices are supported faster.

#

ZHA however works with any device that's Zigbee standards compliant

#

All four of them 😛

nova flint
#

Z2M generally has faster device support and slightly broader scope of supported devices, and it's not tied to HA. It's also a fair bit more complex.
ZHA is super easy to install and use, but since it's part of HA it's more difficult to use with other systems.

tired sage
#

Right, well since I trying to build home automation with Home Assistant...

sour shadow
#

It's really down to personal preference. I may automate with HA but I prefer Z2M because it fits what I want better.

tired sage
#

So, if I wanted to give it a try, I'd look in add-ons?

sour shadow
#

For your install, yes

#

However, if you use it with the stick you currently have you'll need to re-pair everything

tired sage
#

That's OK, it's just a small network at this point. I'm tinkering before I go all in.

#

I'm not finding it in the add-on store.

sour shadow
tired sage
#

OK, thanks. I'll read the docs 🙂

faint zephyr
#

im trying to setup the zigbee compose got the tubeszb-cc2652-poe-2022
at the botom there is a line :

      - /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 ``` 

gues i need to change that to 
```     devices:
      - tcp://IPADDRESS:6638 ```

would that be correct ?
sour shadow
#

No

#

You're not mapping the device through to the container at all

faint zephyr
#

so even if it's a poe device that line does not change ?

sour shadow
#

The devices section is for mapping local devices

#

That's not local

faint zephyr
#

ah okay 🙂

#

so no need for it at all

faint zephyr
#

i added the tubeszb-cc2652-poe-2022 to HA assistant now in integrations it show 2 new integrations
One called zigbee home automation and ESPHome since i'm running it over MQTT i dont need the ZHA integrations ? or can i integrate both

#

best zigbee USA contact/window sensors to use? i have been using the ST ones (smart things multi) but they have been unreliable and would like to try a new brand

okay cheers

#

thought i had to install the esphome one for it to work 🙂 but it's running smooth 🙂

reef inlet
#

hi all, is there a way of testing if a zigbee device is actually alive/connected etc? as in i have smoke detectors, all say the battery is 100% still which is doubtful given i've had them for 6 months. (using ZHA) .. 'reconfigure device' never seems to work for any device, so i can't check using that.
i don't seem to see any errors, but is it the case with zigbee (or at least zha) that it is like UDP in that anything you send to it isn't acknowledged so can't really check if its working other than by any of the potential test buttons etc?

faint zephyr
#

don't you have a test button ? would the state not change if you press it

molten linden
#

for battery powered devices they have to be awake when sending a command like reconfigure. if there is a button on the device you could press it near the time you hit reconfigure to wake it so it gets the message.

reef inlet
#

ok let me try that 🙂

#

ok yes, other than deafening myself, its now updated the diag stuff.

#

not sure what the point of all the config and control options for the device in HA if none of it is of any use since the device is effectively "asleep" until it is awoken with a button press or actual smoke

molten linden
#

battery life for zigbee devices is good since they sleep until the report then go back to sleep

faint zephyr
faint zephyr
#

or better you only use it for one of each type

Hey, I just recently picked up a set of these zigbee thermostats https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B09GR81WCQ/ they arrived today and I set about pairing them, they added straight away but show just two sensor entities which show as not available.
Some Googling shows that I will likely need to add a custom 'zha quirk' which is not something I have even heard of before, I'm not at all sure what I need to add where, and I'm not sure how to add files at all now, back when I was running HA in docker it would have been quite straight forward but now I'm running HA OS, I've no idea how to go about getting files onto it.

The devices show in HA as _TZE200_a4bpgplm TS0601

Add a router

faint zephyr
#

hmmm now just to find a device i can use and can function as router

#

if i have read the documentation correctly almost all devices that are plugd-in are routers
how do i verify it does function as router ?

sour shadow
#

Depends on whether you use Z2M (it tells you on the device page) or ZHA (no idea)

faint zephyr
#

Z2M

sour shadow
#

Of course, being a router, and being a good router are two different things

sour shadow
faint zephyr
sour shadow
#

Is that your Z2M's UI?

#

No... not even close

#

Open the UI for Z2M, navigate to the device's page

#

Look at Device type

faint zephyr
#

i only have 4 devices connected and there all EndDevice

#

so no router there

sour shadow
#

Excellent mesh plan then

faint zephyr
#

gonna add more devices in the future so expanding the zigbee network won't be a bad investment

Does anyone here run a kwikset/weiser touchscreen lock and using Z2M. im thinking of buying one. just wondering if it supports setting pin codes. As the Z2m page states that that the 9ged18000(physical buttons) does but, does not list pin code support for the newer model 9ged21500(touchscreen). was hoping is was just a typo/oversight.

faint zephyr
#

i added a router ( Hue bulb ) between coordinator and sensor in the greenhouse there is like 2 meters in between it finds the bulb but does not root to the sensor in the greenhouse

#

fixt removed it out my network and paired it close to the router

what a spare hue bulb can't do for you 🙂

Probably a dumb question.. but do in wall ZigBee switches actually cut power to the bulbs or just command them to an off state?

One of my aqara sensors only connects to another ZigBee device, and I no longer have that device powered. How can I get the aqara sensor to connect to my ZigBee bridge instead?

raven jewel
#

Turn on pairing, and press and hold the pairing button on that device.

hidden cloak
#

Ah alright, I was trying to do "reconfigure device" but that just instantly said finished. Doing the pairing through add device in the ZHA integration allowed it to pair again

raven jewel
#

Aqara devices pick a router and stick with it. Hence the pairing again.

I also read somewhere that you can remap via Z2M, never needed this or tried it though

Z2M doesn't change how devices behave, sadly

I'm using a hue light bulb as router to reach my greenhouse i thought it would still be routing if the light itself was turned off not the bulb but the actual light. apparently when the light is not on it does not function as a router. can i change this ?

sour shadow
#

Do you mean you cut the power to it?

#

Because, no, it needs power to route

faint zephyr
#

When I turn the actual light on it starts routing. When I turn light off and the bulb is stil in a live socket it stops routing

sour shadow
#

If it has power and you can control it through your Zigbee integration then it'll route

#

If it doesn't then you've got a faulty device

faint zephyr
#

Yeah seemed strange to me that the light had to be actually on to route

#

That would make no sense at all

#

Guess I need to search for a new router device

sour shadow
#

And replace the bulb

#

If you don't then some end devices will try to route through it, and then fall off your mesh

faint zephyr
#

Okay I'll do that

mellow geode
#

And how did you confirm it’s not routing anything if it’s off but still powered?

#

It’s the latest IIRC?

faint zephyr
mellow geode
#

Sorry, does Z2M show any updates for the firmware? (Probably not)

faint zephyr
#

Update false

mellow geode
#

Can you see if the requested "image id/type" for the OTA is in the logs?

faint zephyr
#

Searched the logs for image id no results

mellow geode
#

I remember that the first and second gen Hue bulbs had some issues with routing. It shouldn’t make a difference whether the light is on or off though.
I think it was just some messages that were too long that got cut off or something

#

If there’s isn’t a firmware update, you’re probably out of luck

faint zephyr
#

Great

mellow geode
#

If you can get the image id that the bulb requests or a Hue specific hardware model starting with 100B_, I can check if there’s any updates available (that isn’t in the zigbee-OTA repo)

Hi. I’m new to HA and only have a rudimentary programming background. Everything has been working flawlessly for me for a few weeks but I woke up to an issue with Zigbee (I didn’t make any changes to it yesterday other than installing the new Home Assistant update). Can anyone suggest what may be wrong?

Looks like ZHA can't reach the ConBee/RaspBee

If it's a stick is it on a USB extension cable?

It’s on an USB extension cable. Has been since the beginning

I’ll check to see if moving it works.

That or unplugging it for 30 seconds

There's an issue with your USB passthrough, the serial port isn't functional

It may have a USB descriptor but if software can't open the serial port and talk to it, it's likely a problem with your Unraid configuration

#

How do I change the config of a light in ZHA? It think's it's RGB but it's just adjustable white

rapid skiff
#

I think I found the issue. The zigbee config is not correct for these lights

#

color_mode gives enum8.undefined_0x02

#

It should be ColorMode.COLOR_TEMP

#

I have no idea what the manufactor code override is though

austere patio
#

Can you upload the diagnostic info for the device somewhere?

rapid skiff
#

I could not find any way to update these lights either

#

Okay... I think its just 0 lol

#

Eh changing it to ColorMode.COLOR_TEMP with 0 does nothing

austere patio
#

I don't believe Color.color_mode is an attribute you can write

#

But the color mode is correctly set, 0x02 is color temperature

rapid skiff
#

I think the main issue is "device_type": "0x0102",

#

"Color Dimmable Light"

#

It is not

#

Should be "Dimmable Light", unless the color portion refers to the different shades of white

austere patio
#

Yeah, that is what I was looking at too. The device seems to be misreporting its device type.

rapid skiff
#

So uh how do I fix that? Would I need to use it with Z2M?

austere patio
#

You will likely need a quirk that swaps the device type

rapid skiff
#

How do I use that lol

#

Or is there any guide?

austere patio
#

Well the diagnostic info contains the device's reported endpoints and clusters

#

And the model and manufacturer name

#

If you fill out the signature portion of the quirk so that it matches the device and then just copy/paste that into the replacement part but change the DEVICE_TYPE to the correct one, your device will be fixed

austere patio
rapid skiff
#

Cool, I'll give that a shot

#

I was hoping if I ignored the lights for a few months someone would fix them lol

austere patio
rapid skiff
#

Or if it even matters lol

austere patio
rapid skiff
#

Oh nevermind, I see the replacement section

#

Actually, I don't think this has anything to do with your problem. The light says it has a Color cluster. Are you saying the light is not an RGB light?

rapid skiff
austere patio
#

Just dimmable? No color temperature control?

I'm thinking about testing out Z2M instead of ZHA. What are the pros/cons of running Mosquitto and Z2M on a separate Pi vs on the same as Home Assistant? I guess running it together with HA is a bit easier to set up but are there other pros/cons?
Which do you recommend? 🙂

Does it make sense to use ZHA and zigbee2mqtt at the same time? I feel like some devices just don't like ZHA

I found an aqara door sensor in a box and am trying to pair it with my ConBee2 but it's not getting picked up. I think the battery might be low, when I hold the reset button it flashes the indicator light once - anyone know what that is what that means?

Looking for recommendations on a zigbee temperature sensor for a freezer, I've used the aquara ones several places, but not in a freezer and see that they specifically say you shouldn't use them there, also see there is a sonoff that might be an option. Any experience with either in that environment, recommendations for something else, or should I break down and build something?

I'm considering swapping the wafers to Z2M to see if I can get them to work better

Hello fellas! I have a problem that i don't know how to resolve. That's why I'm here again begging for help 😋

I got a pir sensor on my office that has been stuck on detected state for a couple of days. I though battery might be dead (although it's been installed for a couple of days, but you know storage and bla bla). I have measured the battery and voltage seems fine.

If I try to delete it, it fails because it's unable to connect to the sensor. If I force delete it, obviously it's deleted. But, and here is the weird issue, if I try to pair it again, the sensor it's doesn't get to pair, but if i bring it downstairs (near to the zigbee hub) it gets detected instantaneously.

It seems that it's not getting the path done from it's position. As far as I know we need to pair the devices near the final position so they can be router wherever they need, right?

It's ok to pair near the router and then bring it to final position?

I use Philips Hue Sensors around the house (connected via a Conbee II)
One of those sensors only refreshes every ~ 2 Minutes while all the others do it every ~15 seconds.
So if I move around in a room it takes 2 minutes from the initial movement until I get a second movement in ha.

Is there any setting I could look into or do you think that the sensor is defective?

nova flint
#

The Hue sensors do have configurable timeout values, yes. At least with Zigbee2MQTT it's easy to configure, no idea how it'd go with deCONZ or ZHA though

#

Check pir_o_to_u_delay on the OccupancyCluster when going to the device -> three dots -> "Manage Clusters".

#

By default, it should be set to 0 which is the normal delay (15 seconds).

#

Anything in between 0 and 15 also counts as 15 seconds IIRC

mellow geode
mighty rain
#

@mellow geode Yes.

mellow geode
#

Yeah, the Conbee has some issues. I'd recommend any CC2652 based stick (or a new Silabs-based stick)

#

For now, you could try to create a Zigbee group any put all of your Hue lights into that group.

#

Integrations -> ZHA -> at the top: Groups and then create one with your Hue lights

#

It'll create a new entity but at least that one shouldn't have the problems when you turn on/off multiple lights.

#

Also, older Philips Hue lights (mostly those without additional Bluetooth functionality) do not send attribute reports. It means that those lights have to be polled. This doesn't always work (and those messages sometimes seem to get lost or never sent)

#

That might be why two of your lights are acting better than the other ones. (It could also be that they have a better signal)

#

Also, try putting your Conbee on a USB extension cord if you haven't done so already

mighty rain
#

@mellow geode Thank you. I probably have to try a different Zigbee stick.

wanton lake
mellow geode
#

Huh, normally it's the other way around

#

Regarding the stick:

#

It should be easy to migrate all mains-powered devices if you're staying with ZHA and just pick a TI CC2652 coordinator for example (most mains-powered devices just have to be power cycled after changing the stick path in the .config folder)

Thx @fair mountain. Since I'm in "lab mode" I only have 1 light, but I have two switches. I suspect that the group entity is also not created by zha when there is a mix of lights of switches - do you know?

I've just set up the Zigbee2MQTT and MQTT addon (blank like the manual suggested). When I add a device they're not automatically appearing in Home Assistant.

#

I did not use a username and password

Hmm... it says "If you don't have a MQTT broker yet; in Home Assistant go to Settings → Add-ons → Add-on store and install the Mosquitto broker addon." Do I also need to configure the MQTT integration that suddenly is shown under Integrations?

Has anyone ever encountered a Zigbee device that is unavailable in home assistant until I switch it on and off through Zigbee2MQTT? I have this with an RGB lamp (Trust ZLed-RGB9). It works perfectly in Zigbee2MQTT, but home assistant doesn't want to just fire the MQTT commands. Once I wake it up in Z2M, I can use it in Home Assistant, but when I don't use it for a while it falls asleep again and is no longer available in HA.

With Zigbee2MQTT is it possible to change the route of a device? I have a Hue Motion Sensor that would be much better going direct to my Sonoff stick rather than through a Hue bulb

Not really. However, you should be able to just allow joins through the Sonoff stick and then reset the motion sensor.

Since it can only join through the Sonoff stick, it might stay on it.

(It can still jump to another router if it wants to though)

misty lance
#

Reset as in factory reset and pair it again or just a reboot of the device whilst join is enabled on the Sonoff stick?

mellow geode
#

Factory reset the Hue sensor (so it pairs again) while allowing joins only on the coordinator

misty lance
#

Thanks, apologies for the relatively noob question, Im new to Z2M but really impressed with it so far

mellow geode
#

No problem. Also, as long as the Hue sensor works, I wouldn't worry about it

misty lance
#

I was just thinking this myself, it has a LQI of 40 and its working fine, the only reason I was thinking of trying to sort it is another device which is very close to it has an LQI of 163 because its going direct to the Sonoff stick

mellow geode
#

Yeah, feel free to try it (like mentioned above).
LQI levels are calculated somewhat differently across devices though, so they're not always perfect

misty lance
#

I might give it a try, nothing to be lost I suppose

#

Thanks for your help mate 🙂

Anyone have experience or had issue with Yale locks and zigbee module? I have a YRD226HA2619 and I use Zigbee2mqtt with Sonoff dongle, and it worked flawless for months, showed battery status , unlocked and locked on automation, everything I needed. Recently it’s been just not reacting to any commands and when I reset it, it works for anywhere from 1 hour to 24 hours then goes back to not responding to anything. Yale has sent another module, but I am getting the same behaviour. I’m super new with all this so any help is greatly appreciated in troubleshooting

i have no clue what happened but my sonoff zigbee 3.0 dongle plus just stopped working from one day to the other. its connected to the same usb port as before, its recognized on the host and in HA, when I want to add ZHA its listed as device. But I cannot connect in the last step. I tried "hardware" and "software", no chance. Always "connection failed".no log entries

Hi all.

I am struggling to have MQTT auto-discovery of my zigbee devices working
Note: manual <configuration.yaml> of another MQTT device (not capable of advertising under the homesassistant/ topic) is registered ok as entity but I need "devices" registered)

Here is my original port in #general-archived:https://discordapp.com/channels/330944238910963714/332167321311510530/987790051167584286

I came across an old 2019 post of someone affected by such EXCEPTION:
https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/24306
https://community.home-assistant.io/t/exception-in-async-discover-sensor-when-dispatching-mqtt-discovery-new-sensor-mqtt/130995

Thinking about it....I had noticed that my Mosquitto broker time was not the same as Homeassistant time (both through docker containers)...I wonder if that could be the issue

Mosquitto broker is on UTC while Homeassistant and Zigbee2MQTT are both on BST (but actually same time in UTC standard). Don't think that would be the issue. I have now neverthelss added the Docker environment "TZ" data as well as added the actually tzdata package following this post :https://github.com/eclipse/mosquitto/issues/1898
"docker exec mosquitto apk add tzdata"

<eclipse-mosquitto> container is now reporting to be on same TimeZone as homeassistant and zigbee2mqtt but unfortunately this has not resolved by problem...

Is my problem something to do with <zigbee2mqtt> reported device.[configuration_url] perhaps ?

!!SOLVED !!
I had to remove my manual input for <zigbee2mqtt>.[URL] parameter under /settings/frontend/ -
I had it set to 192.168.1.180:8080 but it seems that it is an optional parameter that probably does not play well with Homeassistant discovery.

That parameter said "URL on which the frontend can be reached, currently only used for the Home Assistant device configuration page"

Looking for a few pointers with moving from a Combee II to a cc2652 based coordinator using ZHA. I removed the exisiting ZHA device, and the CC2652 device was discovered. I added this, then paired my couple of devices back to the network. Both devices joined the network; however didnt work as expected. The main device I completed most of the testing on was the Phillip SML002 motion sensor. On the Combee when motion is detected there are a number of lines outputs in to the HA logs (when in debug mode) - however when using the cc2652 device only the following two lines were outputed:

Hi! I seem to have something go askew with my RaspbeeII/ZHA integration since some time in the last couple of hours. In particular, in the settings->integrations area of HA, the ZHA is showing a "No such file or directory: '/dev/ttyS0'" error and pressing configure gives me a rather blank page along with some browser console errors. I swear it wasn't even meant to be connecting to /dev/ttys0 but I can't access my configuration to prove it 😦

Is 0xEF9F your motion sensor?

#

Looks like the SML002 does send on_with_timed_off messages so that is indeed the sensor. Looks like it works fine? Unless it did not fully initialize when you re-joined it, it should be functioning the same as it did when it was sending packets to the Conbee. What do you mean by "however didnt work as expected"?

Does the device actually complete initialization when you first join it? It should complete within like 10s when you first join the device. Otherwise, the sensor is in some half-configured state and this would explain why you're not seeing occupancy attribute reports come in.

#

Make sure to periodically poke some button on the sensor to keep it awake while it's being initialized. You can also click the "reconfigure device" button to try to re-initialize the sensor, though this will likely fail since the sensor will not be awake (unless you again poke a button to keep it awake).

pulsar lake
austere patio
#

If it takes more than a minute then it timed out

#

Can you send me the full debug logs of the device joining with the Conbee and with the CC2652?

pulsar lake

#

Other than keeping it awake while it joins, there's not really much else you can do

pulsar lake
austere patio

Can you quickly poke it? Or does that reset it?

mellow geode
#

I have a SML002 1st gen Hue outdoor sensor working just fine on my CC2652.
I don't think on_with_timed_off is actually used for any entity in HA. So you can basically ignore it.
(See my comment here: https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues/804#issuecomment-1126735659)

Like puddly already mentioned, try to re-pair the sensor again. I didn't have any issues with pairing though (although I already did it months ago). That particular model requires a long press to reset IIRC, so maybe poking it every second during the pairing process could work. However, it shouldn't be required for Hue sensors at all.

Yeah, attribute reporting config seems to fail halfway through. Try reconfiguring it from within ZHA and keeping it awake.

No problems here on a fresh 2022.6.6 installation. I'm not sure what happened with your original database, everything should be done within a transaction so it either works or doesn't work, there should be no "in between" state like you're seeing. What kind of hardware are you running HA on?

Is anyone able to help me diagnose my sudden issue with my Raspbee-II/hassio setup? ZHA was reporting that it could not connect to /dev/ttyS0 and the HA webapp was throwing web browser console errors that prevented me from even seeing the ZHA configuration page. I had a look through the logs but they all just agreed that /dev/ttyS0 was inaccessible. I ended up removing the ZHA integration, restarting the RPi then installing DeCONZ from supervisor. that allowed me to configure a connection to /dev/ttyAMA0 but the DeCONZ web ui fails to connect to that too. My deconz logs are basically full of this:

#

how do I start from scratch with my zigbee2mqtt container installation? just running 'docker-compose rm zigbee2mqtt' or 'docker-compose down zigbee2mqtt' and following the different suggestions here https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-remove-docker-images-containers-and-volumes still leaves the 'data' folder with configuration.yaml and the coordinator_backup. Both of the latter are probably the source of issues with my zigbee2mqtt installation and I thought I would just start from scratch.
Should just manually delete the data folder?

worn inlet
#

use docker volume list to and see if there is any recognisable volume names that would be associated with the zigbee2mqtt stack. If you're game to remove that volume (docker volume rm <volume-name>) then that should re-initialise the data folder.

#

(I only guess this from using docker in general, not from the specific zigbee2mqtt stack)

storm crown
#

they suggested that in the link, too. my list only contains 'Driver' and 'Volume Name'. I don't recognize either and assumed they would be important? Or at least not related to zigbee2mqtt?

worn inlet
#

Volumes are used to persistently store files in an otherwise temporary container's filesystem. "Driver" and "Volume Name" sound like columns in the list rather than rows. are there any rows that have a volume name related to zigbee2mqtt ?

storm crown
#

oh yeah... I guess that is possible, that they are meant to be the column headers. but other than that, there is nothing that appears.

#

so then....just manually delete the data folder that contains config and log files?

worn inlet
#

Is the data folder on the host or inside the container?

storm crown
#

I am not 100% about terminology here....I think it is the host. it's in the ~/home/ folder
If it were in the container it would already be gone after having stopped, rm-ed, downed, and pruned (just to be super safe), right?

obsidian sandalBOT
worn inlet
#

Oh uh yeah, the volume is a relative folder. rename the data folder if you're scared.

storm crown
#

to give some more context.... my zigbee2mqtt is messed up. After having got mosquitto to run again and not permanently be stuck in Starting mode, zigbee2mqtt got stuck in that loop instead. And the users seem to have been messed up. So I wanted to start from scratch. And this is my second round of doing that, because just doing what I have already done so far and then reinstalling the container again left everything as before.

#

yeah. that's the safe compromise. duh. ok, let's give it a go....

storm crown
#

never ending....would an ECONNREFUSED between Z2M and mosquitto (basically the same as this ticket https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/11256) prevent the frontend from working? And what, beyond the suggestions in that thread, might I try to fix the ECONNREFUSED issue?

Hi I am a newbee in ZHA and adding my devices. Lamps are successfully added. My Philips Hue dimmer RWL021 however is an issue.

Remotes are stateless, the button presses will show up as events also there should be device automations available if you create an automation and select it as the trigger device.

I have a Zigbee RGBWW LED controller (Gledopto GL-C-007) plugged in to an outlet that has a (not-smart) wall switch. I'm running ZHA. I want to be able to set a default color that the LEDs use when they first get power (they default to white).

#

Is there a way to do that? I see in the clusters that there's the Color cluster has an attribute of start_up_color_temperature, but I want to set an RGB color, not a white temperature.

#

I can always make an automation that detects when the light is turned on and set the scene manually in HA, but that has a bit of a delay so I'd like to change the default on the device itself if possible.

Do I need to do something like save a scene to the device, and tell it to be default somehow?

I think you are trying to configure both addon or integrations. You should just follow a step to step guide on YouTube, would make your life easier

#

Zha and zigbee2mqtt can't work together

#

I spent the majority of the last 3 days setting a Zigbee dongle up myself, and I struggled through similar issues. If you set up ZHA, then you need to remove that. I had to manually remove (rename) a coordinator_backup.json file in the zigbee data folder at some point to get things cleaned up.
Also, I am not sure looking at many different online guides was helpful, because that led me to use obsolete and redundant installation methods. This led to there being multiple zigbee connections that blocked each other.....

#

installing mqtt explorer was extremely valuable in trying to figure everything out

Hey guys,
I just bought a zigbee switch from Lidl (https://www.lidl.de/p/silvercrest-smart-button-mit-magnetischer-wandhalterung-zigbee-smart-home/p100339621) and wanted to integrate it to my home assistant via ZHA. My main problem is that the switch is recognized as a light and is not really connected in the visualization map either. When paired, it shows up and behaves like a normal device under ZHA, but I can't set it up as a working switch. Does anyone have any ideas or experience on what to do in such a case. The switch is relatively new as far as I know, which could be an explanation for this problem....

If you are happy with zha, there's no reason to move over to zigbee2mqtt. Said that, there are plenty of guides and documentation to install and correctly setup. Of course you might not find things 100 up to date, as things change fast, so you do need to go back and forth between doc and guides

smartjunkie was the second one I checked through. the first used python to flash it so I went that way rather than opening it up

You don't really need to flash the stick of you got the sonoff

Sonoff are preflashed, you need to flash only to update

I've used both z2m and zha. Both worked well and there were no hiccups getting them started. As far as equivanlence of the two there are many threads you can read out there. For me, z2m has a feature that I want, which is setting up Zigbee scenes. I have not found a way to do that in zha.

How do I switch from the stable to Edge AddOn of zigbee2mqtt ?
If I just install it, stop the stable one and start the Edge one I only get „s6-overlay-suexec: fatal: can only run as pid 1“

cobalt dew
#

do a backup and un-install it?

#

"pid 1" suggests a low level bunfight. A reboot might work to free the pid1 up

#

if you have ssh or a terminal try ps aux |more 1 is init on a normal linux box

#

➜ ~ ps aux |more
PID USER TIME COMMAND
1 root 0:00 /package/admin/s6/command/s6-svscan -d4 -- /run/service
15 root 0:00 s6-supervise s6-linux-init-shutdownd

#

in my case, I'd reboot

normal wharf
#

Tried to reinstall, uninstall both stable and edge, installing only edge, always with reboots in between, but without success

PID 1 command seems to be /sbin/init via ha cli, login, ps aux |more

cobalt dew
#

I have an odroid, guess its different

#

zigbee2mqtt seems very frustrating to use :/

storm crown
#

just speaking from my own very recent and very noob experience: it was a nut to crack to get installed. But after finally getting it up and running I love it. It was hard for me to set up, but it is so incredibly simple to use. Getting my hue stuff integrated is honestly faster and simpler than with its own hue hub.

cobalt dew
#

yes....almost archtypical opensource, bleeding edge, poor docs and a pain to get going but once there rock solid like a mountain of granite.

#

Im going to flash the emmc back to clean and try again.

I guess the question is why are you trying to run bleeding edge?

when migrating to a new machine, can you keep a zigbee network through zha intact?

Use the same stick, transfer the HA backup, and you should be fine

you can even backup the stick

Which stick are you using and how are you running Home Assistant? It should be using a /dev/serial/by-id/ symlink, which should be stable if you're running the same OS.

sonoff zigbee stick and haos through vm

#

so haos on any other machine should be fine?

austere patio

Should be seamless. If not, you just tweak a path in a file.

#

alright, cool

hybrid cloud
#

so im transfering my zigbee stuff over to home assistant, and if i change the brightness of a light itll will show the old state in the ui until it gets an update from the device confirming the light changed brightness. is there a way to disable this behavior?

I recently got the Sonoff stick in addition to my deCONZ setup and have slowly started to move devices to Zigbee2MQTT. So far it's awesome. I got so sick of the two-GUI solution with phoscon (where my blinds are shown as lights...) and deconz (which is impossible to use on mobile devices). I also had to make my own DDF with deCONZ for battery to show up for the blinds and OTA on recent IKEA firmwares were impossible. With Zigbee2MQTT blinds worked immediately with battery status and I even updated firmware on two devices simultaneously without an issue.

Hi guys!!

I just received a zigbee temperature and humidty sensor that paired but data from battery and voltage is not reporting. As detected by Z2M is (https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/WSD500A.html#tuya-wsd500a)

but the picture is not the same. it's possible that this device is a different model with different reporting atrributes and that's why is not reporting it?

I've got a couple of the Lockwood T-Lock's and trying to setup with Zigbee2MQTT, and I can put the lock in pairing mode, but it dosent get picked up as a new device in Zigbee2MQTT, I've got it set to permit new devices. The lock only stays in pairing mode for 10 seconds or so, the zigbee dongle is in my room like 1m away from the Lock, so it should be able to pick it up easily

Anyone got any ideas about the above?

I have an Adurosmart Eria Smart Plug with Power Meter. It is giving me nonsense readings. 655V, 65535 A, -1A. There is a calibration feature in Zigbee2mqtt but that doesn't really fix it either. Is there a fix I do not know about, or is the power meter faulty?

I've got an issue with a Philips Hue Motion sensor that the temperature has stopped updating. I've recently (about a week ago) moved it to Z2M and it was all working fine but its just stopped. Everything else is working fine.

brave cloak
#

I am not very knowledgeable about zigbee so I would like someone to explain. The zigbee hub I can easily find for purchasing is the sonoff zbbrige, I would then have to install tasmota on it and then use zigbee2mqtt for connection with HA

#

is that correct?

fair mountain
#

Just buy a SONOFF 3.0 USB dongle.

#

Only buy a ZBBridge if you want it as a zigbee router, and there are way better options than that.

#

You should have a stable serial connection to your coordinator, and WiFi bridge is not a good idea for that.

brave cloak
#

Not easily available

#

Only can really find the ZBBridge

fair mountain
#

okay, well, don't come complaining when it doesn't work and your experience sucks

brave cloak
#

If I get the usb dongle that would need to be connected to the pc running home assistant right? I think it might be a little too far away to be in range

fair mountain
#

connect it to a rpi via serial

#

over ethernet

brave cloak
#

ah I see

fair mountain
#

and the SONOFF sticks aren't available? I can literally order one for same day delivery on Amazon, or aliexpress within 2 weeks ..

#

(and i'm not in the US.)

brave cloak
#

I don't live where you live

#

AliExpress is probably not gonna be an option for me, importing from china is a bit iffy

#

I'll try to give it a look

fair mountain

I'm surprised nobody else has chimed in.

#

I say this as someone with ZBBridge devices, and the warning messages on the HomeAssistant site.

I have this Hue motion sensor which has been such a pain the last few months. I have 3 and the other two are working fine. This one is in the same small room as the coordinator. It just suddenly stops working. I thought it was the batteries but I just changed them maybe a month ago

#

I dunno if it's defective or what. It sits right in front of my computer which I'm almost always at, so maybe it's just dying really quickly cuz it's activated all the time?

#

But it takes two AAA batteries so I wouldn't think it should die that quickly

fair mountain
#

I have one in my kitchen and one in my bedroom.

#

Purchased in 2019, batteries replaced once.

ocean cloak
#

Yeah I have no idea. Changing the batteries last time got it working again, so it's sort of seeming like that's the case, but the life seems way too short for that to make sense

fair mountain
#

Sounds like it's defective.

ocean cloak
fair mountain
#

me too

ocean cloak
#

I'm gonna try turning down the timeout cuz I don't think I need it to be that low for any of my existing automations. Well I'll try that if the new batteries seem to fix it again

#

Also gonna try contacting philips support. Dunno if they'd offer to replace it though

fair mountain
#

sure 🙂 give that a try.

#

I'd do both.

#

I wouldn't tell them you're using it on ZHA, though.

#

or whatever.

ocean cloak
#

Yeah definitely lol

fair mountain
#

Anyway I checked and mine are set at 10 seconds too

#

82% and I replaced the battery in January .. or December?

#

on my kitchen one

ocean cloak
#

This thing was also fine for maybe 5 months while I was on zha then this started happening after switched to Z2M

#

Could just be a coincidence though

fair mountain
#

I use ZHA.

#

I couldn't tell you.

#

I did have them on a Conbee II stick via deCONZ before ..

#

has far too many different zigbee coordinators

ocean cloak
#

Ah ok. I was gonna say, cuz none of my devices on Z2M report battery properly. They all say 100%

fair mountain
#

Really? That sounds like a z2m issue.

#

And also entirely useless.

ocean cloak
#

Yeah def. I dunno why it hasn't been addressed

fair mountain
#

Maybe figure out what's wrong with that? Tons of people here swear by z2m.

ocean cloak
#

I know. It could be that they are mostly aqara devices. I think I only have battery powered aqara and these hue motion sensors

fair mountain
#

bleh. I wish the Hue motion sensors weren't so expensive. They are 1000x better than SONOFF or Aqara.

#

Aqara report battery just fine ..

ocean cloak
#

Yeah on ZHA they reported battery as well

fair mountain
ocean cloak
#

My Hue motion sensors always reported 100% I think on ZHA. But I wasn't sure if that was ever an issue with ZHA since I figured the AAA batteries would have lasted a while

fair mountain
#

is it your coordinator?

#

hue ..

ocean cloak
#

Don't think so? I have a Tube Z one and it's pretty well regarded

fair mountain

idk tube is pretty sketch

#

I want to like Z2M but it kinda seems less refined than ZHA

#

Or less stable I should say

fair mountain
#

I tried it and I was not impressed but that was just me.

#

I also didn't feel like migrating 130+ devices to Z2M lol.

ocean cloak
#

It seems to have wider support though. Like my vibration sensors didn't report a lot of entities on ZHA (like angle, type of vibration, strength)

#

Oh damn 130 lol

fair mountain
#

Yeah, and in other cases.. like I couldn't detach my Leviton wall switches from their relays with z2m.

Hi! Conbee2 seems to reset few times every day with my NUC (Ubuntu 22, only Z2M installed, HA in different hw). I do not know is this related to Ubuntu kernel or stick firmware or something else. Z2M luckily handles those resets pretty well but I can see some side effects in light / motion sensor states in HA. I'm tired of fighting with the Conbee2 so recommendations on best USB sticks?
Some requirements: Z2M support, reliability must be close to 100% and support for at least 120 devices (at the moment: End devices: 71 (mostly Xiaomi & Hue), Routers: 44 (mostly HUE)). Price can be anything up to 70 EUR. I do not care so much about the price because all lights in this house are controlled by Zigbee and network must work without any issues. Thank you 🙂

ocean cloak
#

Yeah it wasn't too bad for me. I had like 15-20 at the time

So it's a compromise.

@fair mountain Have you happened to use the aqara vibration sensor? The one I have in my dryer has been really unreliable

fair mountain
molten linden
#

ZHA supports any compliant device - any non compliant needs a quirk. Some devices extend functions outside the zigbee spec and require more work. Z2M supports nothing without a converter. The bar to create a converter is lower than creating a quirk.

fair mountain
#

I have a ton of aqara motion sensors, smart buttons, etc.

ocean cloak
#

I thought it was the connection but I have two repeaters now and it's still unreliable

ocean cloak
molten linden
#

Yes, and the converters with z2m

ocean cloak
#

I remember seeing quirks mentioned in the HA UI when using ZHA. Maybe there just isn't one for the aqara vibration sensor? I was shocked how many entities I got when moving to Z2M from ZHA with that vibration sensor

#

Type of vibration, 3 different angles, strength

molten linden
#

Some of those are likely events with zha

#

Others are just derived in software

ocean cloak
#

That would be a little odd. I would think they'd at least be attributes

ocean cloak
#

Ok this is unexpected behavior from Z2M. I delete the Hue motion sensor from Z2M, pull the batteries, then put them back in and the device is able to rejoin even though I never enabled "Permit join". What's the deal?

molten linden
#

Maybe the leave request never made it to the device, so when repowered it just rejoined.

ocean cloak
#

I would figure the permission to join would be controlled server side

molten linden
#

Only for new devices

ocean cloak
#

But yeah likely it never made it to the device since it's all janky. I don't get why it immediately rejoins but it isn't sending any sensor information

molten linden
#

Existing device will know all the network info

ocean cloak
#

Ah

#

I would think that if I delete the device from Z2M without choosing the force option that would mean it would make sure the device responded to the deletion

#

Which is what I did. Yet it still rejoins
