I have a Sonoff temperature/humidity sensor. When I was using ZHA the refresh of the data was very fast. Not sure if it was realtime but it felt like it. Now I changed to zigbee2mqtt and the refresh rate seems EXTREMELY slow. I tried changing the values here:
But if I press 'Toepassen' (which basically translate to 'apply') nothing happens. The value is reset to default. How can I increase the rate at which this sensor refreshes? Thanks
Additionally these buttons don't seem to do anything:
For example humidity keeps the value it measured 2 hours ago

Did you wake the sensor before changing the settings or pushing the refresh button?
End devices spend their life in deep sleep, only waking to send an update

What do you mean?
When changing from ZHA to MQTT I bound the device again so it was found

Exactly what I wrote 😛 End devices, sensors, aren't listening for messages.

But other then that I didn't so anything

They're asleep, to save battery

So why did it refresh constantly with ZHA?
chilly sparrow
Because you're confusing two unrelated things

Also what's the point of this then? If I can only get readings of several hours ago

Sensors can send data all they want
They do that regardless of ZHA or Z2M
Sensors can't be polled, can't have their settings changed, unless they're awake

Ok, so they I don't understand why the behaviour changed
With ZHA I got much faster refresh of data from within my dashboard

The update rate is 100% controlled by the sensors, not ZHA or Z2M
The most you can do is change the reporting options, that's it
And most sensors don't even support that

Well I'm only observing what I'm seeing
The value was changing every few minutes with ZHA
Now it has been 3 hours

If you want to change the settings, or use the refresh button, you have to wake the sensor first
Do that by tapping the pairing button

Ok, let me try that

It'll go back to sleep within 10 to 30 seconds at most
