Domoticz

Some time ago a nice GUI was introduced in the Zigbee2MQTT environment.
It is configured in the configuration.yaml like In this case port 8081 is used, but you can use any free port, see zigbee2MQTT doc.
Under Settings -> About you can find the info from my screenshot.
In your case zigbee2MQTT is not started see error, so you might do some debug logging to find out why.
In the configuration.yaml you have to use the right USB port.

Thank you, but I am a bit confused here, as I connected the LIDL gateway via IP. Is that wrong?

How do you connect Lidl gateway via IP, what hardware type?

In the log (sudo journalctl -u zigbee2mqtt.service -f) the motion sensor TY0202 shows up like this:

dec 02 18:51:12 raspberrypi npm[13388]: Zigbee2MQTT:info 2020-12-02 18:51:12: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/MotionSensor_Z001', payload '{"battery_low":false,"linkquality":0,"occupancy":true,"tamper":false}'
dec 02 18:51:13 raspberrypi npm[13388]: Zigbee2MQTT:info 2020-12-02 18:51:13: MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/MotionSensor_Z001', payload '{"battery_low":false,"linkquality":0,"occupancy":true,"tamper":true}'

But it doesn't show up in Domoticz. How can I add this device to Domoticz?
Which steps do I have to make, to get it work?

Or is it already added in the last update?

I'm currently using this version of Domoticz:
Version: 2020.2
Build Hash: b63341bc0
Compile Date: 2020-04-26 13:47:55
dzVents Version: 3.0.2
Python Version: 3.7.3 (default, Dec 20 2019, 18:57:59) [GCC 8.3.0]

If you use zigbee2mqtt please look here for device requests https://github.com/stas-demydiuk/domoti ... gin/issues and here viewtopic.php?f=65&t=24975

I suppose that it might be a different brand, because in the plugin under adaptors/cr the TY0202 motionsensor is present.
A lot if not all of the Lidl devices are not (yet) implemented in the plugin see: https://github.com/stas-demydiuk/domoti ... gin/issues
If it is not implemented in the plugin then you could go the node-red way.

Like this

pi@DOMOX:~/domoticz $ sudo nano /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/configuration.yaml
GNU nano 3.2 /opt/zigbee2mqtt/data/configuration.yaml

# Home Assistant integration (MQTT discovery)
homeassistant: false

# allow new devices to join
permit_join: true

# MQTT settings
mqtt:
# MQTT base topic for zigbee2mqtt MQTT messages
base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
# MQTT server URL
server: 'mqtt://localhost'
# MQTT server authentication, uncomment if required:
# user: my_user
# password: my_password

# Serial settings
serial:
# Location of CC2531 USB sniffer
port: 'tcp://ip adress of the gateway:6668'

experimental:
output: json
new_api: true
frontend:
port: 8081

It asks for the USB port and not an IP-address With these items does zigbee2MQTT work: https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/getting_star ... _need.html
and https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/ ... pters.html

Right. So the story so far is, that the lidl gateway does not work with domoticz.

From https://community.home-assistant.io/t/s ... /243561/86

MattWestb from the Tasmota community pointed out that definitely is just a rebranded version of the standard Tuya TYGWZ-01 Zigbee Smart Life Gateway (TYGWZ01) hardware in a other enclosure so that means that the FCC has more pictures of the board here including those without that metal casing:

https://fccid.io/2ANDL-TYGWZ01

https://fccid.io/2ANDL-TYZS4

https://zigbeealliance.org/zigbee_produ ... t-gateway/

As can see it has unfortunately not an ESP8266 or ESP32 WiFi SoC but instead that RTL8196E is the WiFi/MCU SoC from Realtek running Linux as its operating system, and underneath that metal housing is only the Zigbee chip from Silicon Labs which is an EFR32 Series 1 (previous generation) thus similar to that what is on the Sonoff ZBBridge by ITead though it features an EFR32 Series 2 (newest generation) of Zigbee SoC.

Regardless it using RTL8196E WiFi/MCU chipset instead of ESP8266/ESP32 means no support for Tasmota.

But the good story is that eventually the devices of Lidl will work with zigbee2MQTT.
And most of them already do. Now it is waiting for the support in the zigbee plugin.

So it should also work with Conbee?

Check with the conbee/deconz plugin https://github.com/Smanar/Domoticz-deCONZ

So I am left with two issues:
- why are no devices created in domoticz for the devices that zigbee2mqtt recognizes?

The Domoticz plugin for Zigbee2MQTT has to support the device, in addition to being supported by Zigbee2MQTT

I added the following line to /domoticz/plugins/zigbee2mqtt/adapters/tuya/__init__.py

Code: Select all

    'TS011F': OnOffSwitchAdapter,               # TuYa Smart Plug

add that worked for the Smart Plug.

Update:
zigbee2mqtt 1.16.1-dev supports Lidl devices as Silvercrest. And with some tinkering to the zigbee2mqtt plugin I can now switch all the outlets on both devices

Thank You that was simple and genius . I wouldn't dig there without Your help. Thank You!

Did I buy it in vain, anybody succeded in connecting the wired hub to domoticz?

Haven’t tried the hub, but the smart plug works fine in combination with a Hue bridge. And thus also with Domoticz.

Domoticz is capable of talking/understanding the Hue bridge but I doubt that the Lidl hub talks exactly the same. So a separate ‘hardware’ module has to be developed for Domoticz to understand/interact with the Lidl hub.

The same applies btw to for example the Ikea (zigbee) hub. Although all these hubs talks Zigbee (3.0) at one-end, the other end (ethernet wire side) seem to have different interfaces.

True, but now I have to decide to buy an USB Zigbee device.
Can you recommend one?

Yep some lidl device are working on conbee.
ATM I m making the integration for the xmas LED string support in domoticz > https://github.com/Smanar/Domoticz-deCONZ/issues/78 (need special widget to manage effect)

If you are a hobbyist by a Texas Instruments CC2538 with CC2592 RF Amplifier or Texas Instruments LAUNCHXL-CC1352P-2
I use the latter.
If not a hobbyist then buy a commercial one. Look here https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/ ... pters.html and look at the specs.
My first adaptor was a Texas Instruments CC2531 but that one was not powerful enough for me.

Has anyone managed to get the colors working on the RGB E27 LED?

I get them to work in Phosconn App (Conbee), but the RGB controls are not working from Domoticz. Any ideas?

Perhaps a problem with the Python plugin?
