deCONZ hardware support

[eiaro]

I have a deCONZ (RaspBee / ConBee) and I need to interface with stuff that PHue can't/won't support. The deCONZ is developed with open source, and the hardware isn't very expensive, so I think it is something that should be supported by Domoticz.

I have 3 options:

• Modify and adapt the existing Philips Hue hardware. Actually have the deCONZ working with PHue hardware as we speak and a PR is possible. To get the real advantages from deCONZ it would need a bigger rewrite however.

• Make a Phyton plugin. Not really feasible as callbacks and threads are unavoidable.

• Create a new hardware code for just deCONZ. I would add a few libraries to the code if I was to go this route.

Is there any interest for this? If not I'll just fork off and make it for myself.

PS! I tried to get access to the Slack, but so far no invite

Yeah! I just got my ConBee stick. Right now it's running on another Raspberry and i use homebridge to get it working in my home. The sad thing is that it isn't talking with domoticz.. I tried to use their REST API to send http commands from domoticz to deconz/conbee but its a bit tricky...

can it be used in zigbee2mqtt? then the support would be a lot easier.

Just to tease you... One of my IKEA Motion sensors.

zigbee2mqtt is home-assistant coined. Home Assistant has "native" support for deCONZ already, so doubt much work is put into zigbee2mqtt for it. Do you suggest we switch to Home Assistant?

[eiaro]

Here is a screen from the log. There is still ways to go though, and I'm impressed by the lack of communication between the developers.

[remb0]

of course not. zigbee2mqtt is a project. you can use it in home-assistant. BUT also very easy in domoticz:

I think even easier

To me it seems easier to buy the gateway and just connect Domoticz to it. But thats just me, I work with protoboards and servers and have no fun doing it at home and I'm more than happy with this solution that even the Wife can setup.

I might release a PR with basic functionality soon-ish.

PS! The zigbee2mqtt is based on zigbee-shepherd, and it has bad support for ZLL. So only devices that is ZHA (or those times ZLL share the same ZCL that ZHA) will be compatible - mostly. Athom Homey has the same issue.

PR for deCONZ support is submitted.

Nice combining powers

PR for deCONZ support is submitted.

[Thorgal789]

This PR will manage sames devices than their REST plugin ? (ATM or in the future)
It mean Philips/ikea/osram/Xiaomi/Jiawen/ ect ...
Because I m reading the code, and it seem some fonctions are missing for the moment, for exemple Humidity sensor or plug.

BTW, thx a lot, I think I will use it soon.

[eiaro]

Yes, the goal is to support all devices deCONZ support. I might need some help as I don't have all the sensors myself and can't really see how they behave in Domoticz.

And you are right, currently there isn't much sensors in the PR, and the reason for this is that the update on the sensors I have is too slow with using only polling. Imagine going to the toilet and the motion sensor isn't read until the next poll. Or pressing a remote switch and it's not enacting until 15 seconds.

I am working on adding the websocket connection that will give you instant sensor updates in Dom. This will give good response on motion, remotes and switches.

I would really be very happy if deCONZ could be integrated into Domoticz! Domoticz is still new territory for me, but I've been using deCONZ for a while now (<90 devices). It's very stable.

What I did not understand yet (beginner question): What does "PR" mean? Does that mean I can already integrate deCONZ as hardware?

Yeah. Very stable and very much in motion to support new devices.

What I did not understand yet (beginner question): What does "PR" mean? Does that mean I can already integrate deCONZ as hardware?

PR means "pull request", and it means there is code made by someone outside the team, that the team must review and accept into the Domoticz code. It's a process...

[couchadonis]

Got it. Nothing I have't heard before, but I didn't know the acronym yet. Well, then I'll wait for the things to come. Hopefully...

Thank you for your prompt reply!

[Thorgal789]

You have cancel your PR ? Abandoned project ?

[eiaro]

Not abandoned, it just took too long to get it included and it ended up crashing with another project.

[MattiasW]

when will you start working on this project again ?.
or is there somwhere to download the code that is done to get the support in domiticz ?

While waiting for hardware support, you can try a python version https://github.com/Smanar/Domoticz-deCONZ

Thanks! I got my only IKEA Tradfri bulb into Domoticz, but, my two Philips Hue Outdoor strip didnt work:

I get this when i try to turn the strip on/off. I checked banned_devices.txt but nothing in there.
