#Changing entity power on state fails

check screenshot - when changing a Power on state between Off / ON / LastState ...
you are going to need to give some more information...
what device? what integration? how are you calling the action?
quaint elk
i already tried turning it on/off
IMMAX neo smart plug,
using ZHA and im trying to change the power on state from HA console
since the default is off, so i ncase of power outage if the plug is turned off, it will stay off, which should be prevented by setting it to Last State which would normally auto turn it on when power is delivered again
i have 3 of these
on 1 i could hcnage it no problem
and the other 2 just fail to communicate
this was OK

how does your zigbee mesh look?
do you have a bunch of devices that do work and its specifically these that dont or are these your only zigbee devices?
quaint elk
idk what is a zygbee coordinattor tho
cause the one on left shoudl be the ZHA dongle
idk wth is this
and why is the display plug the "middle point"
the "Ziarovka" are just lighbulbs they are physically tturned off (with a normal switch)
hard pewter
it seems that that is a 2nd coordinator perhaps just in router mode? it looks like its a critical part of the mesh and missing which is likely why you are having issues.
quaint elk
i dont have anything else in tho
hard pewter
does that device show in your zha integration device list?
quaint elk
the red one ? no
i have no clue where it comes from
the one on left is the right one :
hm it seems its the same thing
somehow
hard pewter
somehow you seem to have gotten an extra device as a critical part of your mesh and now its gone.
quaint elk
as that is definitely the dongle
but i can confirm the dongle works
cause ican manipulate every other device i nthe network
and i just connected like 5 new devices today using ZHA
its more that this thing:
shoudlnt even show up o nthe mesh as coordinator
coz the ZHA is the coordinator
hard pewter
is the zigbee mac on the zbt-1 and the seemingly random extra device the same? you blurred them out.
quaint elk
no
i saw it wrong its not the same thing
the Blue square is the Dongle and its the ZHA that is correct
and that is working
hard pewter
i saw it wrong its not the same thing
then you have somehow grown a device
quaint elk
the Red square i have no clue wth is it
hard pewter
perhaps a neighbour had a device and you acidently hyjacked it and they only just noticed?
hard pewter
right so we need to remove that from the mesh either way
hard pewter
probably a coordinator in router mode
so you can remove a device from the dev tools
dev tools -> actions
call the zha.removeaction
it will ask for the mac of the device. copy that in from the unknown device
quaint elk
well lemme do a backup first cause im quite scared 😂
hard pewter
fair enough
hopefully your network will repair itself after removing it but in theory you might have to repair devices that previously depended on the now missing device.
quaint elk
will try to restrt the system so it reloads everything
hmmm
seems like 1 of my ikea devices has too weak of a zygbee signal to function properly
the windw is closed yet it says its open:
i just changed to a new batter jus tin case, same thing
which is funny
cause in mesh it clearly shows its connected
or maybe its faulty, idk
looks like it never worked:
is it senting the automation signal of window open tho LOL
that is fcked
hard pewter
could try re-pairing it
quaint elk
yea will play around tmrw
hard pewter
maybe add some more router devices (smart plugs probably easiest) to flesh out the mesh
quaint elk
ill try to get a motion sensor LED light that goes directly into the outlet, in the hallway which can be a "bridge"
hard pewter
also worth looking at upgrading the zbt-1 to the zbt-2 at some point as that will help receiving from weaker signals.
quaint elk
oh theres a new one ?
hard pewter
oh theres a new one ?
yes, it just released - https://www.home-assistant.io/connect/zbt-2
hard pewter
i just started using zigbee on my home network with it and its been great.
quaint elk
for now il lstay with zbt1 tho and get thelight to bridge the gap
theres like prob 10-11m distance between the Parasoll from IKEA and my ZHA dongle
so yea
hard pewter
oh yeah for sure. if you have a working set up then there is no need to rush out and upgrade but if you have further issues or are in the market for an upgrade anyway then its worth looking at.
quaint elk
i myself am an absolute noob and beginner
hard pewter
mine sits nicely on my rack 🙂
quaint elk
damn that looks like a nice home server
