If you're using ZHA, I suggest updating the firmware before joining any devices, as you will have to re-join them after the fact

lapis tiger
#

i see. I'm using zigbee2mqtt. well trying to at least. i just installed it all and am trying to join something

#

my only hardwired zigbee things are old smartthings bulbs and a smartthings outlet. I can't get either to join

#

do i have to unjoin from my old hub before i can join to the new zigbee stick?

#

oo got the outlet. had to put it in joining mode

#

not sure how to put a bulb in joining mode though

mellow geode
#

Most bulbs can be reset by toggling off/on power 5—8 times

#

Which bulbs are you using?

bronze prism
#

anyone has any experience with linkind zigbee GU10 bulbs? are they worth buying

lapis tiger
#

well everything was working until i changed the zigbee channel in the zigbee2mqtt integration. i changed it, hit submit, and then the integration dissapeared. i had it set to show in the left side menu and clicking on it just says "502 bad gateway". i rebooted the whole rpi and its still doing that. i can't access the config anymore becaues the integration is no longer showing. any ideas?

So I just intergrated a Schlage zigbee lock to ZHA, everything is showing up in HA, but locking and unlocking via the app isnt working.

#

I'm going to leave it unplugged overnight

austere patio
#

Anything longer than 10-20s will have the same effect but it won't hurt

true girder
#

eh whatever, I need sleep so I just took the bulb out and threw it on my desk. Weekend project I guess.

#

I do have a few bulbs I do need to set up so I guess I'll try that one again like new

hello, home assistant just won't discover my Sonoff "zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle plus" stick. I cannot figure out why, windows seems to say the drivers are installed and the device is running fine. I am hoping someone here can give me some advice? flashing it yesterday seemed to work fine and I got the message "success" in the Texas Instrument flashing tool

Anybody have a recommendation for BR30 full color Zigbee bulbs between Sylvania Smart+ vs Sengled Smart Light Bulbs? Are they both good?

# trim shard Anybody have a recommendation for BR30 full color Zigbee bulbs between Sylvania ...

if you have the $ go hue. if not the Smart+ (Ledvance) are okay (I have them) and the Sengleds are decent but are not routers. They (sengleds) also don't stay on my network so I have 5x I can sell you at a discount if you want 😂 (think this issue is related to a mix of devices on the network, have only seen it happen with 2-3 folks counting me. loads of others have sengleds with no issues).

trim shard
molten linden
#

Slyvania is the name Ledvance is sold under in the US. When you join them they will say Ledvance

#

If they say Osram return them as they are really old stock and will cause havoc on your mesh.

trim shard
#

Ok thank you, appreciate all the tips. I think I will try out the Sylvania/Ledvances for around $16/piece

trim shard
#

Oh what the heck...its dimmable but you cant use it on a dimmable switch...I did not know that

#

my switches are dimmable bah!

#

makes sense I guess it needs full voltage since the tech is in the bulb, didnt think about that

uneven ruin
#

my solution was the Lutron Aurora

#

locks out the switch and puts a zigbee knob in its place

#

no zigbee dev wants to be on a dimmer

#

I haven't tried the hue bulbs yet but I've tried most of the other ones and the Ledvance/Sylvania have the most range

I'm about to get some aqara fp1s delivered now that they're more easilly available. I've been reading a lot of user expereinces on the HA forum and for apartment living things don't look super fantastic...I understand they're first gen and the best way to use them is with a PIR sensor.

Seems like lots of false positives and radar detection through walls. Sometimes intermittent detection

For $75AUD/US$50 and 3-4 weeks wait per unit, starting to have reservations

Would love to hear anyone's experiences with these, please

don't think they are obsolete.. they seem to be the hot thing recently

I attempted to upgrade my sonoff's zigbee firmware, but it failed (which is fine) but when I set it back to zha mode, zha can't talk to it anymore

#

not sure what to do now, never had this happen

#

i've restarted home assistant, the sonoff, etc

#

I can ping it

prisma shell
#

i can telnet to it

austere patio
prisma shell
#

which network settings

austere patio
#

The ones stored on the stick

prisma shell
#

I didn't reset them

#

if I reboot the sonoff into z2m mode it shows the devices

cobalt dew
austere patio
prisma shell
#

yes. the sonoff is a zigbee bridge, zha connects through the tcp socket

austere patio
#

Indeed, but where is Z2M coming from here?

prisma shell
#

i can telnet to the socket so it's open

#

if i change tasmota's setting it works as z2m

austere patio
#

If you're seeing delivery error messages then the stick and firmware are functional. If you attempted to write new firmware, the stick's settings are usually erased as part of this and you'd experience the same problem: ZHA can't contact devices.

#

I think I may be confusing devices here. Are you referring to the Sonoff bridge with WiFi, or are you talking about the USB stick?

uneven ruin
#

z2m keeps a backup of network IIRC so if you connect to z2m it probably pushed that in

prisma shell
#

the firmware update failed

#

the bridge

#

i backuped HA and removed the igbee integrationa and re-added it, and all the devices were re-added but most of them weren't available

Hi All, I am running HA with deconz(windows install) - I installed a VPN and now my deconz will not connect to HA. I am unsure what to do as I can connect to the Phoscon App and see that my deconz instance is online but in ha I get:

Hi, does anyone know of a way to get Zigbee2MQTT to not expose certain properties to MQTT/Home Assistant? I've tried using the "Filtered publish attributes" but it seems to go completely ignored. I've also tried setting the switch to "null" in the Yaml file. I have some Sengled bulbs that supposedly support 'effect' but it doesn't work on any of them and I'd rather just get jt out of the entity card. Thanks!

Anyone ever seen where if you check the logs book of a z2m device, their all 5 minutes off. As if I press it now the logbook would say instantly it happened 5 minutes ago?

#

I believe it’s breaking any attempts to automate any Zigbee devices

#

At least when their the trigger

ah sweet I can use regex search and replace on discord to edit s/// just replaced my shit. nice

Updated Zigbee2MQTT to 1.26 today after which i'm getting errors in the log;
"Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-07-04 15:18:34: Error while starting zigbee-herdsman"
"Zigbee2MQTT:error 2022-07-04 15:18:34: Error: startup failed - configuration-adapter mismatch - see logs above for more information"
the device is still accessible on /dev/ttyUSB0 so not sure what's wrong...

sour shadow
#

Check the logs for more details

#

That error is telling you that the backup and the coordinator disagree, which is usually a Bad Sign™️

nova briar
#

Realized there is a dedicated Zigbee2MQTT discord, i'll move the discussion there. 🙂

#

What channel people prefer to use?

sour shadow
#

One that's quiet

#

There's three (four) "good" channels, but it does really depend on:

  1. What's around you
  2. Where on the planet you are
#

Channels 15, 20, and 25 are ZLL channels, and most likely to be clear of WiFi, assuming the people around you aren't idiots

#

Channel 26 is the least likely to have interference, but only if you're not in North America

#

Oh, and it's not supported by all devices

#

So, do a scan and see what's good for you

restive tartan
#

Yeah, read about the 26 issue. I guess k should move to 25 then, as 15 and 20 are too close to my wifi mesh

#

Tnx

uneven ruin
#

I just moved my wifi , found it easier, but I live in a low density area

restive tartan
#

Too many ap around, probably if I change wifi channel it would clear15 and 20, but still probably not worth

#

Found only two neighbors ap on 25, so should be fine, compared to 10+ on 11

uneven ruin
#

Yeah most AP seem to default to 11 even when it's super busy.

#

ZigBee 11

sour shadow
#

Zigbee 11 is a terrible channel choice

uneven ruin
#

I'm on 12, but again the closest house is over 700ft away

#

One neighbor has 2.4ghz on channel 5 @40mhz, I'm on WiFi 11

#

Needed to be way to the left so to speak.

#

Best thing I did for ZigBee was install openwrt so I could control my channels and power

restive tartan
#

Depending on the router, you do have control over channels, and a bit of control on power

#

Tho I like to blast mine no matter what

uneven ruin
#

Blasting 2.4 anywhere near the coordinator is a bad call. I need one 2.4 near the coordinator to support the few legacy devices, but at lower power there's no meaningful interference

restive tartan
#

I'll start messing with it when and if I have issues. But I do need a wide wifi coverage

lean echo
#

I've managed to pair my hive thermostat receiver SLR2b successfully with Zigbee2MQTT, but it doesn't refresh automatically any of its values unless I do it myself from the Z2M dashboard. is there anyway to configure it to auto update?

raw gale
#

where in ZHA do I see what channel my network is on currently?

#

apart from taking a router device offline, how can I convince an end device to take another parent? Some sensor decided to change to a different router device then I paired it with initially, making its connection worse

sour shadow
#

Default is channel 15 if you haven't changed it

raw gale
mellow geode
#

You can take a network backup of the stick and then check the channel

austere patio

Depends on the device

In theory if it changed once it can change again, whether it will is the question

Hi all, do you known about some web with list of all zigbee devices maybe with some rating and additional info like which baterry type they have, cooldown for motion sensors etc?

No, but there's at least half a dozen if not more abandoned attempts to do that

Yes this is one I found and its not bad, I was just wondering if maybe I missed some well known. I see this project have options to add new device so I will investigate how it could be expanded with help of creator.

I have a zigbee remote (FUT089Z) and a zigbee bulb. After creating a group 101 I can only pass zigbee devices. Is there anyway to pass non zigbee devices or pass the commands from the remote into HA to create automation?

#

are their any zigbee relay modules that can use switches as an input but not directly control the relay? I have a shelly that really doesn't like my wifi changes and won't stay connected that I would honestly rather have be zigbee anyways

#

its setup with 1 of the 2 switches as disconnected so it works as an input in HA but leaves the relay on for the zigbee bulbs

#

Hello. I have a zigbee curtain switch (up/down/stop) that I can control from the Z2M web interfaces->Exposes page. When I select either up/down/stop, I can see the payloads sent to my mqtt broker. I am trying to use the same payloads for an automation, calling mqtt::publish

#

the payload are well received by the broker (monitoring with mosquitto_sub) and are exactly the same as when I control from the Z2M web interface

sour shadow
#

Zigbee2MQTT supports HA's MQTT Discovery for auto-creation of working entities, any reason you're not using that?

neat pulsar
#

the reason being that the device provides me with an icon that effectviely has up/down/stop but often does not work

#

no idea why

#

so I was trying this workaround

#

so, from Z2M web interface mqtt payloads make the device switch

#

from mqtt::publish not

sour shadow
#

That sounds like an issue with the device/Z2M, not HA

neat pulsar
#

however I see exactly the same payloads when monitoring with mosquitto_sub

neat pulsar
sour shadow
#

Well, more that if it's not working reliably from HA to being with, manually sending the same payloads that HA is already sending isn't going to help

#

If you publish the right message to the right topic and nothing happens then either the problem is with Z2M (not receiving the message) or with the device - check the logging in Z2M

neat pulsar
#

can we agree that doing from Z2M web interface->Exposes is whats trigger the payload being sent to the mqtt broker and then zigbee2mqtt is consuming that payload to make the device switch (just asking because if I got that part wrong then ....)

sour shadow
#

Pretty sure that's how the UI works, yes

neat pulsar
#

then I dont understand why sending the same payload does not lead to the same result

sour shadow
#

I have an automation that turns off all my lights at night, and one light, a zigbee light, will always turn back on 30 to 60 seconds after the automation turns it off. And all it says is turned on, not by what. Is there any way for me to figure out what's going on here? (Zha)

I suspect an integration (for example, Adaptive Lighting) is to blame.

Hi all. Added my first Philips Hue lamp to my Home Assistant ( I use Slae.sh stick and i use Z2M). I allow permit join on Z2M interface and plug Philips lamp on my lamp. Z2M regognize lamp immediately and works like a charm and i can use lamp everyway with Exposes -page on Z2M interface. Problem is that not appear Light -entity on my states list inside Home Assistant. I try to put 2ZM my lamp Settings page and put "Home Assistant name" but that not helped, try restart home assistant couple times not helped too.

#

Any ideas how i get that light -entity apper on my "developers tools --> status -list"

#

Of course i can do manually configure on configure.yaml, but then is awesome if i find somewhere examples hue lamps what kind parameters i give there.

#

My Philips lamp is this if that helps

Out of interest, are there actually any zigbee2mqtt guides for non directly connected zigbee transceivers (like talking to a sonoff zbbridge pro)?

hello, does anybody have experience with Sonoff Zigbee Dongle on Windows 7? I managed to find a driver for it that seems to work fine with Windows 7 but in home assistant it will not work

austere patio
#

I don't think Home Assistant will run on Windows unless you're using WSL

winter rain
#

sorry i am using Oracle VM VirtualBox to launch Home Assistant on Windows

austere patio
#

So you're running Home Assistant within a virtual machine?

winter rain
#

yes

austere patio
#

When you say "will not work", what do you mean? Have you passed the USB device over to the VM? Is no other program running on your Windows installation that would interfere?

winter rain
#

on another computer running windows 10 I had to install the correct driver, then configure the virtual machine, active the USB controller for the right device and it worked. I tried to replicate this on Windows 7 but it does not give me the same result

#

other program interfering: I don't think so but how do I do confirm that's not the problem?

austere patio
#

Has Windows 7 not been end of life for over two years now? I wouldn't be surprised if you run into problems with it and recently-updated programs.

#

I had to find an old driver version indeed, to install it on windows

If that's a ConBee you really need to have it on a USB extension cable

Aye it is a Conbee II. It is also near the router

sour shadow
#

Near the WiFi router?

buoyant sorrel
#

I'll try an extension cable then. Still... the starting of the add-on should not be hindered by that no?

sour shadow
#

Yes, because the ConBee is really sensitive to RF noise

buoyant sorrel
#

Yes, near a WiFi router

sour shadow
#

That's a terrible location

#

Bad Things for Zigbee:

  1. USB 3.0
  2. Being near anything WiFi or Bluetooth
  3. Being directly in a USB port on a computer
buoyant sorrel
#

That is good to know. Thank you for the input, I'll try changing the location later

#

It's sensitive enough to actually not work if it's too noisy. Like it will fail to start up.

sour shadow
#

I've seen more than a few reports of that

buoyant sorrel
#

That's facinating, I really did not expect it to be influenced it by the signal. A shoddy connection sure, but failing to start.. Ah well I'll try moving it

sour shadow
#

All sticks are sensitive to interference, but the ConBee range are the most sensitive. I've seen others also refuse to start up when there's enough noise.

(as in, the one measuring kWh)

and get some logs and post them to a sharing site

uh, I also have a SHP-15 and it's a TS0121 here

so probably different firmware

I've added the diagnostic information as well

mellow geode
tiny swan
#

well you caught that quick

mellow geode
#

Perhaps should_poll() and async_update() should also be in SmartEnergySummation (a Polled version actually)

tiny swan
#

(in another thing, i cannot change the timeout for the new Aqara P1 motion sensor)

mellow geode
#

press the button on it before changing the value in Home Assistant. It's a bit finicky

#

and then press enter or whatever to save the value in HA (to write it to the motion sensor)

tiny swan
#

Ahhhhhhhh yeah that's not that easy.. (200 km away)

mellow geode
#

ah, right

mellow geode
#

So maybe a PolledSmartEnergySummation sensor is needed?

#

mhm, it would be a bit annoying to test, since I can't move the plug from my production network atm lol

mellow geode
tiny swan
#

Thanks for looking into this 🙂

#

Unfortunately i don't have the SHP-15's near, and i cannot run a dev env for my dads

#

So i can't test it either

yeah, I can probably do it some time tomorrow

If you flash a Sonoff with the router firmware, would Z2M be able to communicate with it over serial, or would it then only have Zigbee connectivity?

#

I was planning on setting up a second instance of Z2M in my workshop with this Sonoff as a coordinator, I am going to use ser2net to communicate with it. But that got me thinking that if it could act as a router over serial, that would be very convenient, but I'm pretty sure it's not possible.

Routers are zigbee only. Serial interface would only be for flashing and possibly debugging if fw has it enabled.

unrelated question, is it a good idea to enable Availability in Zigbee2MQTT? seems like i'd want to know the status, but surprised its not defaulted to enabled

woeful urchin
#

Is there something plugged into the outlet actively drawing power? The update could be the whole "Instantaneous measured power." piece.

that's an idea, but nope, nothing plugged in and its turned off. maybe its always reporting for that reason,though?

# lapis tiger yeh i read that. just not sure why its not on by default

I'm not sure we're interpreting that correctly. If you read this:

By default the published availability payload is in legacy mode (online/offline). If the legacy mode is disabled the payload will be a JSON object ({"state":"online"}/{"state":"offline"}).

Then look up the MQTT information, first you'll see a redirection:

{"availability":[{"topic":"z2m/bridge/state"}]

Then if you look up that topic, you'll see:

#

state = online

#

So I think what is "disabled" is legacy mode.

anyone know of a z2m (or Esphome) PIR sensor with adjustable sensitivity? I have a very long corridor that I want to put only 1 PIR sensor at the end of the hallway.
At the moment its being covered by 3x Xiaomi sensors

#

must be as discrete as Xiaomi sensor

sour shadow
#

What distance are you needing coverage over?

vale surge
#

15 meters

sour shadow
#

Sensitivity is rarely about range, it's usually about how fast it trips

vale surge
#

but its very narrow

#

sorry correction - 11m

#

the xiaomi's dont trip unless im 3m away

sour shadow
#

My (much larger) Develco is good for about 5 meters, but not 11

vale surge
#

cos the hallway is narrow, discretion is really important and any sensor is easily seen. the hallway has 6 doorways on it so its not something that I can use something else.

sour shadow
#

You're more likely to have luck with two sensors, one at either end

#

That said, I googled long range zigbee PIR and got some possibly relevant hits

vagrant dragon

#

Under Mosquitto you should see devices and entities

#

There's no Zigbee2MQTT integration

vagrant dragon
#

Zigbee2Mqtt integration working ok, here is picture my menu and z2m interface

#

Mosquito settings page look like this

sour shadow
#

If you listen to # and use Z2M to control something, do you see anything?

vagrant dragon
#

If you mean listen via MQTT explorer or something like this. that shows all controls what i do in z2m.

sour shadow
#

No, in HA

#

Basically, that'll confirm that HA is connected to the broker that Z2M is connected to

vagrant dragon
#

can i listen # somewhere on web interface of home assistant?

sour shadow
#

You posted a screenshot of it

#

Right where it says Listen to a topic

yeah that shows actions when i use my Hue lamp via z2m

Not sure then TBH

#

It sounds like you didn't enable MQTT Discovery shrug

This is only setting what i find and that is enabled. Maybe is easiest some day do total format whole raspi ssd and do everything from scratch.

In the screen where you Listen, select Reconfigure

vagrant dragon
#

not any auto discover enable button there

Hi, does anyone has experience with Thread? What is the benefit over Zigbee for instance?

sour shadow
#

Mostly thread is a future tech

#

Once there's enough products on the market for some decent real world experience then somebody will be able to say

austere patio
#

Thread on its own is like the meshing part of Zigbee, it doesn't really "do" anything. Matter is where all new development is happening and it can run on top of Thread. There are no products that utilize it yet but they'll show up in the near future.

mighty river
#

Indeed, it's not utilized that much yet. But what I don´t understand is that Matter (and therefore Thread, because Matter is on top of Thread) claims that no hub is needed. But it needs a border router, which is just a hub. So thats quite strange imo

sour shadow
#

Matter can use more than just Thread

#

(Since it says 802.15.4 that could well include Zigbee)

mighty river
#

Yes you're right, Matter is just the application layer. But in most cases for HA it uses Thread for connecting to (battery operated) devices.

How can I prevent Home Assistant from showing entities for devices from zigbee2mqtt like linkquality, update_available and so on?
For every light and switch those entites are created and I don't want them in HA at all.

#

I tried adding this

'0x2c1165fffe9d10c8':
  homeassistant:
    linkquality: null
  filtered_attributes:
    - linkquality

and this

device_options:
  homeassistant:
    linkquality: null
    power_on_behavior: null

to my zigbee2mqtt config, which should work according to the maintainer, but the entities still show up in HA.

sour shadow
mighty river
#

haha, yes 😄 But manufacturers (or better to say: the chip vendors who provide the radio chips and stack) will use Matter of Thread for those devices

#

but I'm wondering how much traction Matter actually will get. If you would have your whole home with Zigbee you can´t use it with Matter

sour shadow
#

I think the answer will be a lot, but probably not soon

#

Anyway, with HA you can mix and match, it doesn't matter if Matter is slow to launch, you can add it to HA when you want, and keep rocking those Zigbee (or Z-Wave) devices for another 20 years if you want

mighty river
#

yeah, true

sour shadow
#

Some Zigbee manufacturers have said they'll be doing firmware updates to provide Thread support, but I have my doubts about them actually delivering

mighty river
#

Technically it's possible, but indeed will they do it is another case

#

But hopefully Matter will make it's claim true to be interopable. Because with Zigbee its clearly not the case 😦

sour shadow
#

Well, it is... if you squint a bit, and maybe close one eye

#

It's the one thing Z-Wave got really right

mighty river
#

I can´t make certain Zigbee devices to work with my conbeez zigbee stick.. because they use different Zigbee versions for instanc

sour shadow
#

Well, that's more likely an issue with your Zigbee stack (ZHA, deCONZ, Z2M)

#

That said, I have found that the Terncy devices don't want to talk to my CC2652 coordinator

mighty river
#

Indeed it's the Zigbee stack difference

austere patio
#

Zigbee is (well, should be) both forward and backwards compatible. What devices?

mighty river
#

hence, not all Zigbee is interopable 😉

sour shadow
#

Well, it is, if the software gets updated

#

Z2M and ZHA are pretty solid in their support for everything

#

deCONZ is ... a shit show

mighty river
#

I have latest software on my deCONZ

sour shadow
#

See, there's your problem

mighty river
#

haha

#

which one you recommend?

sour shadow
#

ZHA or Z2M, but not with the ConBee

mighty river
#

thats why I got that one

austere patio
#

It's supported but not as well as CC2652 and EFR32

sour shadow
#

"Works" and "not a complete pile of 💩" are two overlapping but different things

#

There's plenty of supported coordinators that are a poor choice

mighty river
#

good to know, I thought it was something I did wrong. I even contacted Conbee's support but they couldn´t help

#

so thats why I figured out there must be something in their stack, because I have a ZHA device which for instance works with a smarthings hub

sour shadow
#

With ZHA and Z2M being open source, adding support for new devices is a thing that happens in reasonable timeframes, and that people can even make happen themselves

austere patio
#

When you say that a device doesn't work, do you mean that it joins and shows up in deCONZ and doesn't work, or it just doesn't join the network? What device is it?

mighty river
#

doesn´t show up in deCONZ

austere patio
#

I'm pretty sure deCONZ will show devices even if it doesn't know what to do with them

#

So if the device isn't joining your Conbee's network, switching integrations may not help. Are you using a USB 2.0 extension cable?

mighty river
#

no, directly in the rbp, also I put the deCONZ usb stick into my computer and used their software to scan the device

#

but didnt show up

austere patio
#

That's likely your problem

mighty river
#

I know that device uses a chip from nordic semiconductor with Zboss zigbee stack, which is ZHA certified

austere patio
#

Certification doesn't mean a whole lot for Zigbee, but in your case it's likely not the problem. Get a USB 2.0 extension cable and plug the Conbee into that, not directly into a Pi and especially not directly into a 3.0 port.

mighty river
#

it's a USB problem you think? It means the deCONZ is not properly working because of USB?

austere patio
#

Zigbee is a low power protocol and the Conbee is sensitive. It has problems if it's next to noisy electronics.

mighty river
#

hmm ok, I'll try. Thanks for the suggestion

#

I see with another manufacturer that they say:
USB extension cable (20cm) is highly RECOMMENDED

austere patio
#

You can use a longer one. I had to when I was testing the Conbee.

mighty river
#

so you had same, it didnt find a device and then with extension cable it found it?

austere patio
#

More or less, yes

mighty river

I'll order a 50cm one, will be enough I think

You can use the Conbee with any of the three Zigbee integrations. Make sure to use a USB 2.0 extension cable. For Z2M you have to change the adapter type.

Strange, having added that does not give me any extra information. I got the log-level set to 'debug'

Did you check that /dev/ttyACM0 is the path to the ConBee?

That doesn't look quite right

buoyant sorrel

Yes that's the path I get from ls -l /dev/serial/by-id

sour shadow
#

Normally those are /dev/ttyUSB0, which is why I'm surprised

Though, ideally you use the /dev/serial/ path

buoyant sorrel

so /dev/serial/ttyUSB0?

No

Should I just try and reinstall the add-on at this point?

No

#

You should be using the /dev/serial/by-id/blah-blah-blah path for the stick

Is there a significant difference in the signal range that various repeaters offer? I need something to get my network extended to the front of the house, my controller is downstairs at the back and the front (~16m) is too far or most likely, too many walls between. I'm looking at one of these simple Tuya USB repeaters I can get for ~$18 off AliExpress but I don't really know what would be appropriate for boosting the signal sufficiently.

Upstairs I was able to get a Hue bulb right at the front to connect to a Hue bulb all the way in the back room, but the signal was too low for the device to correctly connect and I wasn't able to control it, so was thinking if I can get something in the middle then it may bridge the gap, however there are still plenty of walls between...

#

Alternatively, downstairs there is an ethernet port at the front, so I could add something that could act as an outpost up the front, but it seems like that would be a bit more complex and more expensive (controller cost, pi/other host cost) and not too sure how to link this into the same network.

I have a "Namron Thermostat Touch Zigbee" which automatically change to "away mode" at seemingly random times when connected through zigbee. When not connected it stay at the "manual" mode as intended. The only value changed through HA is to set temperature of the climate entity.. and I can't find any way to trigger the change to away. Hoping to 1. find the cause of the thermostat changing to away or 2. find how I can see the away status in HA (which I currently can't). Ideas appreciated. The away mode is listed as an "propriatary attribute" which seemingly doesn't belong to any specific cluster.. Can't see it through ZHA clusters or find a way to read it through ZHA toolkit.

# tiny swan My zha is logging a lot in debug, but i don't have debug logging enabled :\

If you don’t have anything in your YAML configs that should do this, you can try to restart HA to see if it goes away. When joining devices, the logging gets set to debug temporarily. It should be reset to info after that, but I’ve also seen it get stuck sometimes (might be worth creating an issue for on GitHub if that’s the case).

You can also use the logger "set level" service call to reset everything to info (copy the part of the HA website in the YAML service call and change debug to info)

As for the quirk, you should be able to start with something like this (https://dpaste.org/9CMgE) and drop it into the ZHA custom quirks folder

#

If the thermostat correctly identifies itself with a manufacturer ID of 0x1224, the , True part of the attribute definition will tell zigpy that the attribute is manufacturer-specific and it will send that code along with the "manufacturer specific" bit when reading the attribute.

Hi! I have a poor connection between my conbee II in my server closet and my (currently) two aqara temperature sensors. I intend to change all my hue and tradfri devices too but before I do that, if does hue lights act as a zigbee repeater extending my coverage OR do I need to get some other kind of repeater?

They'll act as repeaters

#

You do have your ConBee on an extension cable?

Amazing. Thanks!

No, none was included but I have one on order

mhm, got a Xiaomi MAEU1 plug today (using it with ZHA). There was an issue with power consumption readings sometime ago that should have been fixed.
As other people reported, the plug is getting a completely different signature than from the one in the quirk. I've had this issue with Xiaomi plugs before (MMEU01 requires multiple re-pairings until it shows up with the correct signature)

However, as soon as I put the MAEU1 on another network (Conbee 2 + ZHA instead of TI + ZHA), the correct signature always seems to show up?

#

yeah, back on my cc2652 network and it's picking up the wrong signature again, weird

#

actually, it might be because my Conbee stick is running an older firmware and doesn't return the Xiaomi manufacturer code that E1 sensors require

#

my main network is probably doing that. That seems to switch the plug into a different mode

#

Maybe it's enough to add the alternative signature to the quirk and overwrite the "OppleMode" to false for that one too

mellow geode
#

apparently there's more than one alternative signature ...

#

also does the [zigpy.appdb] Error handling '_save_device_relays' event with (**IEEE**, [0x209C]) params: FOREIGN KEY constraint failed error matter? (doesn't have to do anything with the Xiaomi device)

mellow geode
#

ok, still returns 0 on my main network but correct values on my test network -- I'll look at this later I guess

#

heh, at least it sends proper attribute reports there (unlike Tuya)

Does anyone know whether electrolama has a discord support? Bought their CC2652R stick and having trouble integrating it as a ZHA coordinator

They don't

I've flashed the firmware (hopefully correctly; didn't get any errors, did it through the python script):

Opening port COM3, baud 500000
Connecting to target...
CC1350 PG2.0 (7x7mm): 352KB Flash, 20KB SRAM, CCFG.BL_CONFIG at 0x00057FD8

Plugged it into the raspberri, selected to integrate ZHA (as per https://electrolama.com/radio-docs/zha-home-assistant/), selected:

  1. "Serial Device Path" as /dev/ttyUSB0 - USB Serial, s/n: n/a (not sure about this step but it's the only thing that makes sense I guess?)
  2. Selected Radio type as znp
  3. Leave everything as it is (serial device path, port speed). Data flow control is weird - there are 3 options hardware, software and blank, and blank is pre-selected.

Error: Failed to connect.

The path should be the /dev/serial/by-id/ path, not /dev/ttyUSB0 or /dev/ttyACM0

Ah wait seems that I've run just the erase and not the actual flash...

I'm having trouble pairing up my first zigbee device.

I've added ZHA. I open the device (ZHA/coordinator), click "add dedvice" button, now it is searching for zigbee devices.

I put my Ikea lightbult to a pairing mode (turn on/off 6 times). It flashes, so I assume it's in the pairing mode now.

I can see Device Found, Starting Interview and the IEEE of the device.
I can also, however, see next to it the Initialisation complete The device is ready to use but this is refering to the coordinator I believe. It says it's the Texas Instruments CC1352/CC2652, Z-stack3.30+ ... I can change device name / select area.

That's it - the searching turns to "search again", and there are 2 devices that I can see - the one on the left is in the Starting Interview stage and the one on the right is green... but why would the coordinator find itself? I'm a bit confused

mellow geode
#

The coordinator is also part of the network. It's initialized at some point (should only be when HA is starting), so if you are fast enough to open that page, you'll see the coordinator initializing

#

Did you get your IKEA bulbs paired now?

red rose
#

Busy with other things atm, I've tried pairing the bulb for like 30 mins but gave up for now

red rose
#

Got back to it - I've just restarted HA and it added without a problem.

mental hedge
#

I've got a blitzwolf smart plug which, from Z2M, gives this error on switching: (Data request failed with error: 'No network route' (205))
however it's also not responding to the physical button anymore. (Used to work fine)
My thinking is the lack of response to the physical button must mean the device is FUBAR rather than zigbee.
Is that correct? Or can I fix it with e.g. up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A and Start?

Sorry, newbie to asking for help on discord (let me know if I should be posting on a different channel, or creating a thread or whatever), but my Ikea Tradfri 5 button remote has not been working since updating from HA 2022.6.7. It is showing up under devices and it is showing it's battery life, but the buttons are not firing events. I've tried the three latest versions of 2022.7 with the same problem, and it works as normal when I roll back to 6.7. I've also tried re-adding the remote to the ZHA network, but it does not fix the problem . Is this a known issue? I've searched the HAC forum, but haven't seen anyone mention it.

I have a Zigbee device, but when I add it, it shows as "Unk Manufacturer". Afaik the device is zigbee 3.0 compatible. Could it be that on HA some drivers need to be installed/made for this device?

Are you using ZHA?

No, turning it on is just switching a relay

Well, ZHA should support Zigbee 3.0

Assuming the firmware is actually Zigbee 3.0 compliant, properly

Hmm.. that's strange then. It does find it however, so something must be correct. I can actually control a smart plug too

But just HA is not showing the data of the device correctly

enable debug logs and capture the logs from a fresh pairing (you need to remove the device from HA completely then pair it again)

Hey guys, I am looking at setting up home assistant and with the prime day sales I think that now would be a good time. I do have a few questions about the best zigbee hub compatible with HA though. The server I would be running this off of is in the basement and I am not sure if I could get a stable connection 2 floors up with hardwood floors in the entire house. Is there a way to set up a zigbee mesh network style thing for this or is that not needed? What hardware would you recommend for my use in this scenario?

obsidian sandalBOT
#

There are three Zigbee options with Home Assistant (regardless of how you install it). These are:

zha is actively developed as part of Home Assistant Core, using the zigpy stack, the UI also being part of Home Assistant. The EmberZNet based sticks are recommended (though the HUSBZB-1 uses an older chipset), but there are other options including the CC2652 based sticks. There is no list of supported devices, as any standards compliant device should work. Devices that require extra support are listed, and adding unsupported devices is documented.

Zigbee2MQTT is very actively developed and can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, and natively. As of 1.15 has a native UI, and it also uses MQTT for control and configuration. It supports mostly TI based sticks, with the recommended option being the [CC2652 based sticks](#zigbee-archived message). If you want to use an EmberZNet stick see this issue. The known working devices are well documented (which usually includes how to pair them so you don't have to find the manual), and adding unsupported devices is also documented.

deCONZ is relatively stable and mature with its own UI (and Discord server). It can run in an add-on, in a Docker container, or natively. Only the ConBee range of sticks and RaspBee GPIO boards are supported. Known working devices are documented, and how to request support for a new device is documented too (you can't add unsupported devices yourself).

Start with a pick of ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT, and then pick a recommended stick

#

No hub, hubs lock you in to brands

distant schooner
#

ok i was using the wrong term, I am already looking at that list. Was more looking at what would be the best option on that list for my use.

#

probably going with zha

obsidian sandalBOT
#

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

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

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

so do you think I would need multiple devices to cover an area this large or would a single device work without any connection issues?

sour shadow
#

You'll need to build a mesh

#

The device to device range in the real world is about 6 to 8 meters. Maybe less, maybe more, depending on the environment

distant schooner
#

so i would be looking at 1-2 per floor?

sour shadow
#

Really depends on the layout, and materials, of your house

#

If you're lucky one good router placed centrally on each floor will be "enough", but the whole point of a mesh is that you don't build it as a bunch of point to point links

Positive

distant schooner
#

maybe im crazy but this looks like it supports multiple over lan

austere patio
#

This would be the coordinator. You can talk to it however you want (USB, Ethernet, ???), but it can only talk to other devices on your network over Zigbee.

distant schooner
#

would that be an issue?

austere patio
#

Well you can only have one of these on your network so your existing CAT6 wiring won't help with Zigbee beyond finding a good place to put the coordinator

distant schooner
#

is this inaccurate or am i just misunderstanding this?

austere patio
#

You can flash them with router firmware and can use PoE to power them but they won't actually be sending any data over your CAT6 wiring

#

Effectively turning them into PoE Zigbee light bulbs that don't emit light

distant schooner
#

ah, so at the end of the day its still relying on wireless to talk to each other

molten linden
#

Or wait for thread/matter devices

#

🕰

austere patio
#

If you're happy with dev kits and experimental software, Matter is ready to go 😄

distant schooner
#

i was assuming that each device would talk to the HA server over ethernet and the server would coordinate everything

molten linden
austere patio
#

You can set up a coordinator in each room but I would first try setting up a normal mesh network with mains-powered routers like bulbs or things that plug into outlets

molten linden
#

Back to the ocean 🌊

distant schooner
#

so either way, i am not going to be finding a HA zigbee adapter on amazon, am i correct?

austere patio
#

You can in theory set each of these up as a coordinator and run a separate Z2M instance for every single room of your house, but that will be tough to maintain

#

I believe you can buy the Sonoff stick on Amazon but I don't think there are any PoE adapters (like @molten linden's ☝️)

distant schooner
#

i mean if its not going to be connecting over ethernet then it would prob be easier to run it off of just wall power correct?

austere patio
#

The coordinator would need to be plugged into a computer of some sort since it's the Zigbee equivalent of a WiFi adapter. You can talk to it over Ethernet or plug it straight in (with a USB extension cable).

distant schooner
#

you would want the coordinator to be as centered in the house as possible yes?

austere patio
#

That would be a good configuration but you can sometimes hide it away somewhere. It really depends on how your house impacts the signals, it's hard to predict.

distant schooner
#

so my router is rack mounted in the basement and I have an AP in the center of the house on the first floor, does it make sense to put the coordinator there and then add in more access where its needed all centered around the coordinator

austere patio
#

If the AP emits 2.4GHz signals, it'll likely drown out the Zigbee network. It's best to keep the coordinator somewhere "quiet".

distant schooner
#

hmm, that would be tough since there will be an AP on each floor

austere patio
#

I mean you can have them on the same floor, just don't put them right next to one another and make sure the 2.4GHz WiFi network is moved away from your Zigbee network's channel

distant schooner
#

network channel?

#

lol, I hate wireless with a passion

austere patio
distant schooner
#

ah ok

#

can that be configured on zigbee or just on the router side?

austere patio
#

You can configure your Zigbee network's channel but it's something you should do before joining devices. Zigbee doesn't change channels as gracefully as WiFi.

graceful birch
#

Can anyone help me with xiaomi motion sensor? i can't link it using home assistant (it worked before but it don't wants to link anymore)

distant schooner
#

ok, good to know

austere patio
#

You can have multiple, but they would either have to be flashed with router firmware and be turned into routing device like a Zigbee bulb or outlet, or you would have to configure each one as its own network and run an independent Z2M instance for each one.

distant schooner
#

ok

would it make more sense to get something like the tube, or get a few of these things

Guys, how do I know if my bulbs are zigbee routers?.. I'm planning to get the zigbee-GU10 from Zemismart

mental hedge
#

To my understanding, all bulbs are Zigbee routers.
My rule of thumb is... If it's fully hooked up to the mains and always powered, it's a router.
If it's got batteries, or if it doesn't have a neutral wire, it's an endpoint.

I have some GU10 zigbee spot lights from Müller Licht Tint. For some reason zigbee2mqtt frequently logs MQTT messages like these for those spots without any trigger. Their state also does not change. Does anyone know what's going on here?

uneven ruin
#

it decided to publish

hollow shale
#

What does that tell me?

uneven ruin
#

it published information to mqtt

#

you're reading into this way too much

hollow shale
#

Okay, so this is probably caused by zigbee2mqtt and not home assistant?

#

These messages get spammed and are filling up my logs, which make other things hard to debug.

uneven ruin
#

turn your logging level down

#

what are you debugging?

#

is the device setup to poll?

hollow shale
#

But I do want to see state changes of any devices in the logs. These are constantly logged every few seconds without any cause.

hollow shale
uneven ruin
#

under zigbee2mqtt under the device check reporting

#

why do you want to see device state changes logged? HA would log that as well

#

HA would log acual state changes vs a mqtt publish

hollow shale
#

Reporting seems to be set up with "Min rep interval" of 60, "max rep interval" of 3600 and "Min rep change" of 0

#

But there is no Endpoint or Cluster set

#

nor Attribute

uneven ruin
#

it it says select endpoint thats if you want to add anything

hollow shale
uneven ruin
#

I would set the zigbee logs to something minimal that only reports issues and work with the device directly unless you need something else

hollow shale
#

The reporting settings are the same as with any other bulb I have, but only those three GU10 bulbs do this

uneven ruin
#

or get a different bulb

#

the bulb may have a bad mesh connection and keep spouting off its info

#

hit the reconfigure button and see if it goes away

#

in general though info level logging is just a waste

hollow shale
#

They still do it

clever cedar
hollow shale
#

I mean those MQTT messages would tell HA that something about the bulbs state has changed, don't they? And this would happen even though nothing is actually changing

uneven ruin
#

no

#

only info changing tells HA that

hollow shale
#

Okay

uneven ruin
#

publishing the same info shouldn't trigger HA but you can look at HA to confirm that

#

shouldn't

hollow shale
#

These bulbs also have other weird behaviour. If I trigger an automation in HA that turns on a scene which changes these GU10 bulbs, they sometimes don't react and set their state according to the scene.

uneven ruin
#

I have a ton of info logs but I have 5 instances of adaptive lighting talking to bulbs

hollow shale
#

If I activate the scene twice it usually works fine

uneven ruin
#

bad mesh

#

possible wifi interference

#

could explain the excessive chatter

hollow shale
#

Do you have any tips on how to debug that or possibly improve it?

uneven ruin
#

the one downside to zigbee IMO

#

so if you have 2.4ghz wifi it can talk over top of zigbee and cause message loss if the channels overlap

#

also is your stick directly in a USB 3 slot or on a USB2 extension?

hollow shale
#

I don't think I can deactivate 2.4GHz, since some of my devices only support that :/

hollow shale
#

It's a ConBee 2

uneven ruin
#

I have my WIFI all the way to the highest channel and my zigbee on the lowest channel

#

WIFI is on channel 11 for 2.4 and zigbee is on (let me check)....

#

zigbee 12 which doesn't overlap with the wifi numbers

#

if you can follow the directions hit the pin and look at the first message about energy scans

#

depends on how dense your area is with wifi. I only have 1 neighbor who's wifi reaches me so its not an issue for me

hollow shale
#

If I change the zigbee channel, would I have to reconnect all the devices or does it not affect that?

uneven ruin
#

yeah you would need to go around

#

it was great fun because I learned all this when I pushed past 60 devices

hollow shale
#

Where can I find out which channel I'm using? ^^

uneven ruin
#

so the easiest way would be to get a wifi analyzer app for your phone

hollow shale
#

Ah wait I found out

#

11

uneven ruin
#

sometimes your router lets you manually change that but the lower end models or more "consumer friendly" ones sometimes don't

#

use the app, your neighbors may be blasting all over the place

hollow shale
#

I will look into that, thank you!

uneven ruin
#

is that your wifi or zigbee channel

hollow shale
#

Zigbee

uneven ruin
#

ok, now find out your wifi channel if its low you may want to change it to a higher zigbee channel (or change wifi channel which can be easier)

hollow shale
#

My router says it's on Channel 1

#

I can choose any Wifi channel from 1 to 13

uneven ruin
#

yeah so your stomping all over yourself, try wifi 11

#

bet your lights improve

hollow shale
#

Wait but then Wifi would be on the same channel as Zigbee

#

Is that not a bad thing?

uneven ruin
#

no the nubmers are diferent

hollow shale
#

Oh okay

uneven ruin
#

look at that link, it has a nice pretty picture

hollow shale
#

I see

uneven ruin
#

wifi 11 is all the way to the right, zigbee all the way to the left

#

nice an overlap free

#

if your in a dense city though doesn't mean your neighbors aren't causing any issues - so try the wifi analyzer zapp

hollow shale
#

Okay I'll download it

uneven ruin
#

but its easy to change wifi channels (just click the setting) and it can't hurt your zigbee performance

hollow shale
#

Yea I just changed it to 11 as you suggested

uneven ruin
#

and it only for legacy devices so if its no ideal who cares

hollow shale
#

The diagram looks pretty good actually, most networks are channel 6 and up

#

only one network is on channel 1 and it's on -90 on the y-axis

uneven ruin
#

ah no issues then

#

great

#

good luck, bet your info messages die down

hollow shale
#

They still send those publish messages though. Maybe a little less often but I'm not sure.

uneven ruin
#

give it a day, the mesh will reconfigure

hollow shale
#

Alright

uneven ruin
#

now that the RF environment is different

glad we got it working better.

Hi All, I just got a Sonoff 3.0 for zigbee - what are the best directions to follow these days to flash the firmware and install in HA? I run HA in a VM on UNraid. Thanks in advance

Hi All I just got a Sonoff 3 0 for

red rose
#

I've added 2 ikea switches (shortcut button and on/off switch) and both seem to be funky - they were found, they got added, but they do not show battery level and their entities have weird names. I've tried the "RECONFIGURE DEVICE" - it failed:

The device reconfiguration failed. Additional information may be available in the logs.

Where can I see the logs?

#

(there is nothing relevant that I can see in the Logbook)

#

eg the entity name is 37616dfe identify

sour shadow
#

Added them to ZHA? or Zigbee2MQTT? or deCONZ?

ZHA

#

Made a simple automation - toggle light when button is pressed; and it won't fire when I press the physical hardware (button), but when I go to the button's page I can "PRESS" the entity under diagnostics and then the light toggles...

Please use a code share site to share code or logs, for example:

Please don't use Pastebin, since it can randomly add spaces to the main view. Please also don't share text as images since it makes it harder for people to help you. Remember that others may have colour blindness, impaired vision, etc.

I think the automation was just to showcase that the problem is not in the software/automation itself, but that the button(s) are not paired up correctly (ie. HA is not receiving the signals upon which it can fire the automations). But regardless - one minute, I'll upload the code.

#

I meant to say that I simply made the automation to test whether the button is functional at all, and it doesn't seem to be

#

You can also follow the trace to see what happens

red rose
#

Where do I see the actual code behind the automation?

#

I did it through the visual editor

sour shadow
#

automations.yaml

red rose
sour shadow
#

That's a file on the disk

#

If you've not set up access to the files, eg Samba/SSH, then you can use dotsvertical in the top right of the automation editor

red rose
#

right; I run it on a dedicated PI where the HA OS itself only is ran

sour shadow
#

So... install the SSH add-on 😉

red rose
#

ah, got it

sour shadow
#

It's really useful to have access over SSH for when things go wrong

red rose
#

definitely

#

I plan to deploy it docker-style later on once I stop tinkering around hehe

#

just getting familiar with HA atm

#

so I've paired 2 switches - one is toggle (the yaml), and one is an on/off switch. The toggle one has just "identify" and the on/off switch has "37616dfe identify"

#

when I go over the the button's page, I can "PRESS" the identify manually, and then the automation works fine

#

(ie. the light toggles)

#

but obviously the problem is that when I press the physical button hardware, it does nothing

#

and because it also doesn't show battery level (or rather, it shows just a question mark), as well as that the on/off button only has 1 identify instead of 2 (on, and off?) - I believe it's simply not paired up correctly

#

I use elctrolama's dongle and I've put the latest firmware like 3 days ago there... so that should definitely not be the issue

Is anyone using a Schlage be468 and Zigbee2MQTT

#

I'm running into an issue getting the action_user and action_name in order to know who unlocked the door or if the lock button was pressed from the outside

#

unfortunately the exposed values are (action_source_user and action_source_name)

#

those values just remain NULL but (action_user and action_name) contain the required values

#

I suppose buying all the ikea stuff wasn't the best idea when starting with HA then 😄

probably see a 7.4 in a couple days with everything sorted

I started most of my automation as Z-Wave, but now seem like most zigbee device are half the price so wondering if I should do zigbee now

#

THat would mean that my home assistant will have wifi, zwave and zigbee

#

is that not too much ?

#

Also I was affraid that zigbee would interfer with xbox/mouse 2.4 ghz

sour shadow
#

It's fine, and if you check the pins there's information on avoiding WiFi interference

compact hill
#

ohh great

#

I will take a look 🙂

#

Humm seem like I`ve found why my XBOX controller receiver is not working on a USB3 port now

#

interesting...

sleek sedge
#

am I doing something wrong. or not following some sort of etiquette I'm unaware of on discord. I have posted several questions over the past 6 months, frequently reposting and never get any answers at all, I just get ignored. If there is something I need to do differently, I sure would like to know.

sour shadow
#

People only respond if they think they can help, a lack of response means that nobody who saw your question thought they could help

#

If the information you desire is in an entity, you can access it. If it isn't, you can't. It's not clear from your message which of those is true

sleek sedge
#

the values exist in z2m but are not exposed, it looks like the field/entity format/naming changed but was not reflected in the exposed values.

sour shadow
#

Then if it's not in the MQTT payload it's entirely a thing that has to be solved in Z2M - and for that you probably want to open an issue on their GitHub (or fix the device definition yourself)

#

If it is in the payload, but not in the HA entity, then that's also a change required at Z2M, in the MQTT Discovery payload, but you can at least manually extract it

👍 i will have a look

#

thank you

#

at least temporarily just to see if it's actually the issue I'm having

there is this though: "You will need to wake battery powered devices before starting the reconfiguration process. Refer to your device's manual for instructions on how to wake the device."

#

I don't see anything about waking up the device in the manual attached... 🤔

sour shadow
#

Typically it's a push of the button you use to put it into pairing mode

red rose
#

ok so if the pairing requires 4x push, I'll push it just once and see if it reconfiguring will work

#

how can I remove a device completely? I'd like to remove it and try to pair it up again

Hello everyone, I got myself a zigbee temperature sensor, and I am trying to understand how to integrate it with hass. My understanding is that Zigbee2MQTT allows to do this (and skip the need for gateway), but it's just an hassio addon. What are my options? Running Zigbee2MQTT on my home server via docker? Or is any other (better?) solution?

sour shadow
#

It has great docs cz_wink

#

IMO Docker > bare metal (Node) install

ivory hound
#

docker via docker-compose my recommended way

mighty river
#

i feel like i downgraded my capabilities by migrating from container to haos but i don't miss docker at all and updating addons within home assistant is so great

#

maybe i'm just not a cool power user

latent rose
#

forgot my mqtt user and psw, fun times 😂

Anyone used the aqara presence sensor yet? Found 3 in stock at £42 each so I'm kinda tempted but I know z2m doesn't have regions working yet so kinda on the fence

tropic depot
#

someone decoded the regions

#

so it is just a matter of time

bronze apex
#

Might invest in one then 👀

#

Worth trying it out lol

simple sentinel
#

what do the regions do?

tropic depot
#

1 sensor potentially can cover mini areas (user defined) in a single space

#

no one has it implemented yet

simple sentinel
#

Ah oki, can't say I have anything that would need that granular level of detection

#

Maybe if I had a yard where I wanted to aim a water turret at approaching wild life

bronze apex
#

Can it also be used to create dead zones or ignore regions?

#

When it's implemented obviously

what is the way of moving from one zigbee coordinator to an other (I am using ZHA)? Simply removing the integration, unplugging the previous stick, plugging in the new one, readding the ZHA integration and re-pairing the devices?

cloud bolt
#

it is conbee2 -> sonoff 3.0 usb plus

Found it and watched it thanks! In the end I went the easy(ier) route and didn‘t do backup-restore of ZHA as he did it in the video. I simply removed the old devices (I only have 7 anyway), deleted zigbee.db and re-added the devices with the same entity names. Everything seems to be working fine.

Conbee 2 a good stick?

obsidian sandalBOT
#

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

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

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

They're more sensitive to RF noise than any other stick

#

If you keep them on a USB extension cable away from noise, they're ok but not great

#

Unless you run deCONZ, when they're the only option ablobjoy

I’m debating upgrading to a sonoff v3

cloud bolt
#

But the sonos does pretty much the same 😄

#

As the conbee is not really recommended here, I thought I migrate to the sonoff while I only have a handful of zigbee devices…

glossy canopy
#

Running ZHA my map is mostly yellow and red connections idk if that’s something that would get better with another stick. But given the price of the sonoff it’s not a big gamble

cloud bolt
#

Actually, I can still send back the conbee (bought it 3 weeks ago on amazon) so I actually spare money by switching to the way cheaper sonoff 😄

glossy canopy
#

Nice !

#

I had my lights not responding to turn off signals from my switches, and sometimes they wouldn’t respond at all from the switches ( hue dimmer ), works fine in the app/web ui.
Shut everything off for an hour and switched USB ports for the conbee, was plugged into a usb3 for some reason. Hopefully it helps.
