Nodered flow for tasmota somfy zigbee bridge (not usb-stick)

[hoeby]

I started with zigbee2mqtt a few years back.
Worked nice in my home, but after moving to an other house, i didn't got it working correctly.
The reasons was the range in my home. Used extenders, but still having problems. Had to do weekly a re-pair of devices
Then i found the somfy zigbee bridge. Not new on the marked, but new for me.
Bought 1 of them, flashed them with tasmota zigbee and started with testing.
The testing went great, that i bought 2 more. Each level at our home has its own coordinator. I changed the zigbee channel, that they don't overlap.
For me this was the solution, the zigbee now works stable for me



Tasmota sents out a mqtt message.
It is possible to add rules. For some simple things this is no problem.
But i found, that sometimes the device update triggers domoticz scripts. So rules where not the way to go.
I went with nodered. First a simple flow. Made everything to work. But i still needed to work in de nodered code it self, not low-level.
So i created a webpage in nodered. To add devices, remove devices, setup the idx numbers for domoticz, etc etc.
All devices in domoticz are dummies, i did not make a plugin. The reason for this, i want to keep it in nodered. There is (or was) a problem with domoticz plugins and the pi firmware.
I am not a programmer guy, so there could be some lines somebody would make different.

What did i make?
Everything is in dutch on the webpage. But could be changed in the flow by rename the tags
The main page.
On left top, the tasmota devices (could also be other tasmota devices, i left this open, maybe fo future things)
On middle top, you could let the bridge send messages.
On right top, rename the devices
In the middle left, on the left you can set the idx numbers and the device type
in the middle right, the device table with the values which are setup by the user
On the bottom, The realtime status of your devices and some debug add-ons

Once every 24 hours there is a check to my github page, to see if there is an update.
Update could be new devices, bugs fixes or other features

In one of the latest versions i added the option, that you could add the nodered webpage to domoticz.

The list of supported devices is not that big as zigbee2mqtt or zigate (or maybe other).
But it is open to add/change things in the flow by your self. Please, when you added a new device, post the data here, then i can update the flow on my github. All devices in the list are tested, otherwise not released

[ikkuh]

wow, thanks!
Will try this today, I need the Nodered route too.

[TomDoRpi]

Hi, looks like a graet solution.
Any updates meanwhile?
Can you give a more detailed description how to install please?

[hoeby]

Sorry, late reaction.

There are a few updates made.
No new devices, because i don't nothing new to add in my home environment.
But i can try to help is needed, if there is a new device needed

To get it work, i assume you already have nodered running.
Then copy the flow from the link which is posted in the first post of this thread.
Import this flow in your nodered. it is possible you get errors, because nodered is missing nodes

These modules have to be installed in nodered, to prevent those errors (tru manage-pallette)
- node-red-dashboard
- node-red-contrib-simple-gate
- node-red-node-ui-table
- node-red-contrib-schedex
- node-red-contrib-flogger

The release notes after the first release

Code: Select all

16-01-2023 R1:
- changed: flwo changed to run on Nodered release V2.X.X or V3.X.X
13-01-2023 R1:
- Bug: Save data folder was read to late, restore devices went wrong.
10-01-2023 R1:
- Change: Flow changed, save data folder can be changed in 1 node and not in multi nodes
25-12-2022 R1:
- Change: Flow changed, mqtt server credentials can be changed in 1 node and not in multi nodes
03-12-2022 R1:
- Added: ZbLeave and ZbForget for devices, when removing a device from the UI page.

[sincze]

Cewl initiative, let me try to set this up in Node-Red.
It seems I am missing by default.

- Gate
- Flogger
- uit_table
- schedex

Any hints on the best palette options/candidates ?

[hoeby]

These palette options are used:

- node-red-contrib-flogger
- node-red-contrib-simple-gate
- node-red-dashboard
- node-red-node-ui-table
- node-red-contrib-schedex

[sincze]

Ok imported everything:

Updated block: Central MQTT Settings
- Message to MQTT-Server
- Message from MQTT-Server

So it can find my MQTT Server, now let's wait what will pop up.

So I do see ZIGBEE devices flying in but nothing happening in the dashboard for further configuration

To have it to start to work:

Code: Select all

ZbNoPrefix
SetOption100	remove Zigbee ZbReceived value from {"ZbReceived":{xxx:yyy}} JSON message
0 = disable (default)
1 = enable

SetOption100 should be set to 0

Also

Code: Select all

ZbOmitDevice
SetOption119	Remove device addr from JSON payload
0 = disable (default)
1 = enable

SetOption119 should be set to 0

[hoeby]

Sorry, default zigbee settings are not mentioned how to set them.

but do i get it right, it now works?
This after changing options 100 and 119 set to 0

[hoeby]

This is how the messages from the bridge have to look like (tasmota messages).
If they don't look like this, then the flow doesn't work.

Ah yes. Made it work

So for the documentation and the rest of the people that modified the TASMOTA ZIGBEE SETTINGS I mentioned it.

So it now created this

Would you be so kind to explain
- Do I really need a separate IDX for battery ?
- Can IDX Percentage and Switch be the same ? (A light can dim and do on/off)

I would like to add the Philips HUE lights and some NEO Tuya Powerplugs
Any Guidance in how to do that ?

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/TS011F_plug_1.html
Is the on i want to help adding

AND similar lights.

[hoeby]

So for the documentation and the rest of the people that modified the TASMOTA ZIGBEE SETTINGS I mentioned it.

I added on top of the UI page, that those 2 settings also have to be set at 0, just like the SetOption83 which is written.

- Do I really need a separate IDX for battery ?

You can leave it at 0, then nothing will happen.
It is made, that it needs its own IDX
If it is possible to add battery to a dummy switch device, for example, please post a link how to do this.
Untill now i haven't found information, that this is possible with dummies

- Can IDX Percentage and Switch be the same ? (A light can dim and do on/off)

Documentation is not made for this. The percentage is also for the battery, not for a light.
Most battery devices give a voltage and a percentage value. You can choose which to use.
When you setup the dummy with the correct sensor type, then the ON/OFF and dim should work, with the same idx number

I would like to add the Philips HUE lights and some NEO Tuya Powerplugs
Any Guidance in how to do that ?

I never made a manual how to do this. This is because you need to modify 5 nodes which are all over the flow, to add just 1 device.
If you want a new brand, then there are more changes needed.

But i can help and you can test it.
Connect the device to you tasmota bridge.
Make all possible state changes and copy the data out of the tasmota console and post it here. Please add the brand/device name, for documentation. Then i will try to add these and you can test them. Maybe it is also a good start, to start with the manual how to add things

Just 1 example of the message from tasmota, which is needed

Code: Select all

21:33:00.855 MQT: tele/tasmota_96373D/SENSOR = {"ZbReceived":{"0xC582":{"Device":"0xC582","Name":"CO-Melder-CV","ZoneStatus":32,"CO":0,"Endpoint":1,"LinkQuality":26}}}

[hoeby]

Already tried to add the tuya powerplug, this is the easier part of the devices you want to add.
It is not tested. I give the release a beta state. Please test it.
The lights need more work because of ON/OFF/DIM (maybe rgb). I need the tasmota messages for that.

The node-red flow will check once a day if there is an update on github. That will be 24hours after the last "deploy" you did in nodered (so it will be custom for everybody). If there is a new update, the bar on top right will be red. When you click on it you will see the release notes and also the possibility to download the latest version. When downloading it will download a json file to you machine. This json file needs to be imported in nodered, just like you did with the flow. Advice to follow the next steps, after downloading the json file:
- Disable the flow you have running
- Import the json file (ctrl+i), in the pop-up there is an option "select a file to import", choose here the json file and import
- There will be a notification that there is duplicate of the nodes, this is correct.
- Test the new release
- If happy, remove the flow you disabled on step 1. This also removes the duplicated nodes.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi Hoeby,

Great work! The flow will find my sonoff hub (Zbridge pro) and I can see the attached zigbee sensor. However it seems unable to find the save directory (I created it by hand) . Any ideas on how to fix this?

Yes it seems I am entitled for my first update

Would this be like:
- Copy the new json
- Re-import in Nodered
- Adjust the MQTT servers to point to my MQTT machines
- Enjoy the new functionalities ?

However it seems unable to find the save directory (I created it by hand) . Any ideas on how to fix this?

Because you have written, that it is created by hand.
Is it the same as in the nodes from "Central save file location"?
If yes, does the folder have the correct writting/reading rights?
If no, change the location in the node to the correct location (choose the correct one, pi or docker)

Didn't know about this, thanks. It opens a new world of idea's.
I want to change the flow to this kind of registration. This will limited the needed idx numbers.
But because every device has to change in the flow. I think it is easier to make a V2 version, because the stored data will be different

For now i tried to add the powerplug and the light, both not tested.
These both are just made for functions (on/off and for light dimm is added).
The rssi/battery and everything else is not in it. This needs to move to the V2 version.
But before i can start on V2, i want to test if it works like you posted

Can you try to remove this part in the node "Tuya devices"?
Yes remove, you read it correct. It is there because i try to use default code in de nodes (each node the same code and small changes to get it working). But the tuya sends info, without "type" info.

Code: Select all

if (msg.payload.ZbInfo) {
    if (msg.payload.ZbInfo.type === "Remote (TS0044)") {
        return [msg, null];
    } else if (msg.payload.ZbInfo.type === "Plug (TS011F)") {
        return [null, msg];
    }
}

For the Philips Light I added a SWITCH with DIMMER but that is not responding.

Can be correct that it doesn't work. This is what the flow info is saying.
