Can't re-pair aqara motion sensor. | Home Assistant | Page 1

I had issue with some of my zigbee sensor. To try to troubleshoot, I deleted one aqara motion sensor. Now the network seems more stable, I can't re-pair this sensor. I've tried to turn ZHA off and install Zigbee2mqtt, the sensor is pairing almost immediatly. I don't want to switch all my devices to zigbee2mqtt because there is a lot of devices (nearly 50). What could I do ?

#

I've installed ZHA Toolkit using HACS, but I don't know what service should I use with my case..

What region do you live in?

#

Battery powered sensors generally don't have any impact on network stability.

Z2M defaults to channel 11 and Aqara motion sensors, like many devices from that era, will just immediately join the first network they see. Your ZHA Zigbee network likely is on a different channel (15, 20, or 25) and the sensor is either joining a different network or hasn't been fully reset.

Which adapter are you using?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:27 PM

#

Texas Instruments CC2652

#

Do you have access to a CLI environment with Python, like the HA OS Advanced SSH addon?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:31 PM

#

Not installed right now but it could be quick to install.

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:32 PM

#

Run this CLI tool with your adapter: https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-znp/blob/dev/TOOLS.md#network-scan, just python -m zigpy_znp.tools.network_scan /dev/serial/by-id/your-adapter

#

Which networks are in your vicinity?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:33 PM

#

could I use /dev/ttyUSB0 ?

#

instead of the serial ?

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:37 PM

#

Sure, they're symlinks. Just make sure ZHA is disabled when you run it.

#

/usr/bin/python: Error while finding module specification for 'zigpy_znp.tools.network_scan' (ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'zigpy_znp')```

#

Do I have to install something ?

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:42 PM

#

pip install zigpy-znp should work

#

You can also disable protection mode for the Advanced SSH addon and enter the main HA container, where this package is installed: docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash

Looks like just your main Zigbee network?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

Don't know if it's safe to post this kind of data ....

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:46 PM

#

You're free to delete it, the EPID is randomly generated

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:47 PM

#

ancient sapphire Looks like just your main Zigbee network?

It only have 13 devices, I have nearly 50 ...

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:48 PM

#

How many of them are routers?

#

And in the scan above, I see only 9. Are the other four the same EPID and PID?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:49 PM

#

No it's because the message were too long to post with the 4 last devices.

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:51 PM

#

ancient sapphire How many of them are routers?

You mean it's only router devices ?

#

I don't have the count in mind but it could match

#

I will restart ZHA to count.

#

Yes it matches the number

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

So to be clear, you have 13 routing devices and all 13 of them (and only those 13) show up in the scan, no other networks?

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 10:55 PM

#

I will recheck another time

#

When I restarted ZHA I have some weird lines :

#

Do I have to mind about it ?

ancient sapphire Jan 27, 2025, 11:10 PM

#

It's not a problem

#

I would try to remove the battery from the Aqara sensor, enable joins in ZHA, and then try to factory reset the sensor

white storm Jan 27, 2025, 11:15 PM

#

Will try that

#

Nope still no pairing
