Domoticz - Zigbee error, can anyone explain this.

[Dave21w]

Hi, I have a large number of zigbee devices being used with a Raspbee, the deCONZ plugin for Domoticz and the deCONZ app with Phoscon for the initial pairing. This error "2019-09-04 21:40:36.225 Error: (Zigbee) Websocket error, unknow device > 23693 (groups)" only shows up in the log when ever either of the bedside lights are turned on or off with the tradfri dimmers, the lights function fine though.
I can see the switches in my unused devices in Domoticz, I have not added them in as I do not need to see them in my Switches tab, only the lamps which are there and their status is reported correctly.
What I also find strange is in my lounge I have another 2 zigbee bulbs controlled from 1 Tradfri dimmer but the larger one with the buttons and when I turn on / off those lights I don't get any errors.

TIA

Dave

Hello, I can have some explanation ^^.
Since the deconz version 66, you can have an hiden group called "all', all yours devices will be in this group, and you can avoid it.
So depend of wich one bulbs are already in this group, or their state, you can have one more websocket return from deconz

If you use the last plugin version, it can create group on the fly, so you will have this kind of message

2019-09-05 16:57:45.689 Status: (deCONZ) ### Create Device GROUP_All > All (LightGroup) as Unit 19
2019-09-05 16:57:45.661 Error: (deCONZ) Websocket error, unknow device > 65520 (groups)

After that, the group will be created, and you will have this error maximum one time, the first time the plugin see this group.

This group can't be create on previous version because it is hidden and not appear at start when the plugin ask for devices.

If it's not that , can you check in a browser, because your ID is realy lower for this group, deconz start searching at 65535, and your is 23693.

You can have too this message if you have an older plugin version and have added some remote with "offline working mode possible" like the ikea one, theses devices create group too during pairing. If it's that, you just need to restart the plkugin to synchronise them, setting/hardware/deconz/update.

Reviving an old topic.

At my side the groups are 1 and 4

Hello, and what is the problem ? You have error message too ? this group is not hidden.
You have 2 time the same group so I think you can delete one but why there is one with the type "LightGroup" (defaut value) and another with "Room" ?
You have edited something yourself ?

I don't find information about this setting in the documentation, I m asking some informations.
If the type is definied on "Room" you have access to a new field "class" that can contain

Code: Select all

            for (const char *c : { "Living room", "Kitchen", "Dining", "Bedroom", "Kids bedroom",
                                   "Bathroom", "Nursery", "Recreation", "Office", "Gym", "Hallway",
                                   "Toilet", "Front door", "Garage", "Terrace", "Garden", "Driveway",
                                   "Carport", "Other",
                                   "Home", "Downstairs", "Upstairs", "Top floor", "Attic", "Guest room",
                                   "Staircase", "Lounge", "Man cave", "Computer", "Studio", "Music",
                                   "TV", "Reading", "Closet", "Storage", "Laundry room", "Balcony",
                                   "Porch", "Barbecue", "Pool" })

Are you using philips HUE applications ?

So have some answer

The class is just for apps, so they can select the appropriate icon for the room. The Hue API enforces that a light can only be in one room group. Not sure if that’s been implemented for deCONZ. Luminaire was used by the Hue bridge for special Hue lights that have multiple Zigbee nodes, like the Hue Beyond. I think it’s been deprecated, but not sure. Lightsource I don’t know.

So was probably from a third app, deconz don't use this field.
