Pizigate / Zigate not working

Post by pgielen »

Version: Domoticz 4.10602
Platform: Raspbian Stretch
Plugin/Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+ with RFXCOM XL on /dev/ttyUSB0, Aeotec Z-Stick Gen 5 gateway on /dev/ttyACM0 and Pizigate internal, using Zigate plugin
Description:

I received the PiZigate recently and have installed it on my RPi 3B+. As is said in the instructions, I have disabled bluetooth on the RPi.

I have set the Pizigate in production mode using:

Code: Select all

gpio mode 0 out
gpio mode 2 out
gpio write 2 1 
gpio write 0 0
gpio write 0 1
I have deleted the console=... in /boot/cmdline

I have installed the Zigate plugin from https://github.com/sasu-drooz/Domoticz-Zigate.

I set 'erase persistent data' to 'true'

I added Zigate in the hardware section of Domoticz. However, this still does not work. This is my log:

Re: Pizigate / Zigate not working

Post by alanlsmith »

I had a similar experience with a Pi 2 I found that disabling then renabling the plugin got rid of the ‘firmware version not ready message’ and both the plugin and the PiZiGate hardware appeared to be working but no matter what setting I used relating to pairing time. I couldn’t pair any device.

The led on the PiZiGate changed to bright when put in production mode and dim when in flash (as in firmware update) mode, so I assume the it was functioning and the plugin appeared to be communicating with it. One thing was the led did not flash to indicate that it was in pairing mode. i assume that it should in the same way as it does for the USB ZiGate, although the documentation is a bit sparse and doesn’t mention whether that’s the case.

I have gone back to using the Zigbee2MQTT plugin but will try the PiZiGate on another Pi that so I can play around with it without messing up my production set up.

I was also strugling with it for a moment. I needed to enable the serial port in raspi-config and connected it in domoticz to /dev/serial0. Then it worked.

I tried this, had to re-enter the gpio instructions to enter production mode, and it got rid of the continuous 'Firmware' errors. But now, there is another problem:

Again, every 5 seconds.... What this hardware needs is good documentation...

At least it looks like you got a connection with the PiZigate ;)
When you update the zigate plugin it will restart. Can you send the complete logging after that?

There are some zigate plugin experts on the forum who probably can help you. (I just reached the level noob+ ;) )

Looks like the zigate is initialized. Maybe the error occurs because you don't have any joined devices yet.

Can you add a device?
Permit join is now set to off according to your log. At first I would set the permit join time to 255 which means always on. This is more convenient when adding devices. Just don't forget to change the value after you finished adding devices.
(After you change the permit join time and update the plugin you have to wait until the plugin is ready. This can take about one minute. Just look at the zigate status device)

Tradfri is a PITA to add as it is factory set to connect to tradfri gateway. You first need to get rid of that. Have you done that?

They are 2 issues which might happen:

- Not getting Firmware version looks as a communication issue between the PiZigate and the Plugin. Try the tetsing tool at : https://github.com/fairecasoimeme/ZiGat ... s/PiZiGate

- The first thing you need to do is to initialize the Zigate, so when the Communication is ok and you get the firmware version, please start the plugin with Erase Permanent Data Memory

Last make sure that you have the latest version of the plugin, so do a git pull, as I think the error mentioned above is addressed.

The hardware and plugin seem to work together now, at least there are no more errors:

Pairing it with a Trädfri bulb (which is the only Zigbee device I have right now) however still does not work (after switching on/off several times), but I understand that they are problematic everywhere, so maybe I'll get a Philips Hue or another device for further testing.

Did you do an Erase PDM ?
To reset the Ikea Tradrfi, you need to do 6 times from Power Off Power On/off and stay at On

Enabling the serial port fixed it for me. All working very well. Devices pair first time.

Only problem is I have the PiZiGate on a slave Domoticz as my master Domoticz is on a Ubuntu machine and therefore even though the devices are shared they don't appear on the master, I believe this is due to the limitations of the Python plugin framework.

I have had to use json calls to update dummy devices on the master which introduces a bit of a lag but it's not too bad.

Yes, I did. Several times. Nothing changes. Switching on and off the Tradfri bulb for 5, 6 or 7 times also makes no difference. I even followed the weird instructions for linking the Tradfri to and Athome device in this forum: https://github.com/athombv/com.ikea.tradfri/issues/4 but it still doesn't work. So I conclude that buying this cheap and buggy IKEA junk is just throwing away money. I ordered an Osram Zigbee smart plug today to check if that works and can be used as a mesh repeater as well.

BTW the blue Pizigate LED keeps blinking all of the time. Is it supposed to do that? A result of setting the permit join to 255?

This is solved in the latest version (4.1.4). Although in the previous version I did not experience any problem with it when it displayed USB and serial0

It’s a hassle to bind the Tradfri, tried many times and eventually it worked. (Don’t know for sure but I think you have to start the on/off from off state and leave it on on the sixth on. And all of this in 5 seconds.) No problems after.
Maybe it’s best to bind another device first to make sure your ZigBee network works.

I received the Osram Smart Plug just now and it works right out of the box (just hold the button on the plug until it clicks)! :D

By the way, I entered the gpio sequence to set production mode in /etc/rc.local so that if the pi reboots, Pizigate will still work.
