Zigbee2MQTT

[ben53252642]

Zigbee2MQTT is a very active project and the Wiki explains how users can add support for new devices.

It has MASSIVE device support and with Home Assistant having added support for it, it's looking like it might become the Zigbee equivalent of OpenZWave.

[quack3d]

Looks much more complicated than ZiGate though. Can it even be run in Windows?

[EddyG]

Indeed more complicated but also more flexible.

[ben53252642]

Any idea how to update the battery status of a device without setting it to On or Off or must I set the On / Off state at the same time?

[EddyG]

I don't think so. But what's the logic?
If you use a switch once a day the battery status is updated, that should be enough.
Lifetime of some Xiaomi devices extends to 3 years. So 1% degrade in aprox. 10 days. (if it was linear)

[ben53252642]

Yea i know the Xiaomi devices have pretty good battery lives.

The smoke detector for instance sends after I push the test button:
smoke, voltage, battery

After some time it starts only sending
voltage, battery

I've worked around it in Node-Red by sending the off command to Domoticz along with battery when it only receives voltage and battery status since knowing the battery state of a smoke detector = critical.

Other devices though like the Xiaomi button often also send just the battery and voltage.

I guess it's coding perfection than anything else, I'll publish the flow for the smoke detector once I'm happy it's working correctly.

EddyG thanks for putting together the flow for the Xiaomi Temp + Hum + Baro sensor (saved me a lot of time!)

I've modified it slightly for a sensor that I just installed (also Xiaomi) but it's for Temp + Hum + Baro in a single sensor.

Also corrected a error RE the battery status, the word battery needs to start with a capital B

Also note for those searching since I did not find a posted solution:

Above is how to input Temperature Humidity and Barometer (Temp Hum Baro) into Domoticz via MQTT (working).

[Dlanor]

Got my CC2531 & CC Debugger, programmed the CC2531, installed the bridge, connect to the domoticz MQTT and it runs but now what to do?!

[ben53252642]

Install Node-Red so you can import some of the flows in this thread, have you got any Xiaomi Zigbee devices?

viewtopic.php?f=68&t=23607&start=20#p188171

I'm working on a flow for Philips Hue lightstrips atm.

[EddyG]

Yes, I also found out about the capital B.

What you also can do is: replace all the 'delete msg.payload.xxx' with one single 'msg.payload = {};'

I am also now on version: zigbee2mqtt version 0.1.3 and that version also has linkquality, which could be used as RSSI which ranges from 0 to 12.

B.t.w. that works too...
Currently I use the code, mind the capitals again: RSSI

Code: Select all

var rssi = msg.payload.linkquality;
rssi = Math.round(rssi / 12);
if (rssi > 12) {
    rssi = 12;
}
msg.payload.RSSI = rssi;

[ben53252642]

EddyG thanks for the tips, I'll have to upgrade to get the RSSI support.

Btw new Xiaomi sensor was just released (I've ordered a couple) "Xiaomi Zigbee (vibration, tilt, fall) sensor Model: DJT11LM"

https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/295

[ben53252642]

Seems to be a bug with the RSSI, if I send:

msg.payload.RSSI = 12;

Domoticz device field is blank. Numbers 11 and under seem to work fine, EddyG are you seeing the same?

[EddyG]

Yes, I did not test it properly, but took the wiki API documentation for true, which states default=12, but that gives a dash (-) in domoticz.
So I adapted the code to max 11.

[EddyG]

Now I am looking for a nice transparent enclosure for the Zigbee CC2531 USB stick.
Anyone any suggestions?

[ben53252642]

Me too, I saw some on Aliexpress had some but they didn't have the program pin connectors as easy to access.

If you find one, let me know. I bought 3x units so if one fails I can replace it.

Still I prefer it to be in a protected case...

Also I started a git issue for a backup / restore function, if they had that I'd feel ok with just having the spares.

https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/295

Is this device already supported?

[ben53252642]

Not yet, mine should be delivered either tomorrow or Monday, should be supported by next Friday.

I ordered a couple more as well (4 total), I'm very excited about these sensors, lots of new unique use cases.

I get this kind of data back, but do not know what it means and how to implement it in 'fromZigbee.js'

[ben53252642]

I'd post in the Git thread, don't have mine yet

https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/w ... ew-devices

https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues/295

What's going to be interesting with this sensor is the sensitivity setting, it's either one of two:

1) Set via Zigbee on the unit

2) Set as a parameter on the Xiaomi hub

I'm guessing its number 1 since it could result in reduced battery consumption (makes sense).

Good luck! Maybe you will beat me to it.
