Zigate and Xiaomi light sensor

[ronaldbro]

Hi Pipiche,

I bought a few Xiaomi light sensors (http://s.aliexpress.com/MJNfMFbI) and successfully added it to domoticz using the latest stable version of the plugin and firmware 3.1a. But I don't get any value updates, lux stays on 0.

Do you know if there are still some issues with this sensor?
The sensor is pretty new and I noticed it is one of the newest sensors added to the zigate plugin. Maybe I should switch to beta for this sensor.

Any advice would be very welcome.

Thanks Ronald

It is a bit hard to answer.
Could you provide and export of the "Plugin Devices raw (json)" that you can find on the Web Admin Page ?

We have recently added a Lumi Lux sensor on the beta branche, but I need to check if that is the same

Sure, see attached.

Thanks for your help

Please do update to the laresr version of the plugin (just posted now

Then
1- restart the plugin
2- Remove the Widget created for this device
3- Redo the pairing

The fix was available on beta. I just push it towards stable

[ronaldbro]

Works perfectly
Thanks Pipiche

Hi Pipiche,

The sensor works perfect and very fast, really like them.
But I noticed that I don't receive the battery state, is this still work in progress? Hopefully I don't need to know the battery state for some time, but they send a lot of updates so I don't expect the battery to last a year. (Hopefully I'm wrong and that would make them absolutely perfect)

Thanks for your good work.

Hi Pipiche,

Now that I've switched to beta I can confirm that the beta als doesn't report battery status.
Hope it is on your todo list

Regards Ronald

It is not on my todo as it works fine on my end. Could you clarify what version of Domoticz you are using ?

[ronaldbro]

I use 2020.2 stable. I did create the widget using the stable plugin. Should I try to remove the widget and rebind?

[ronaldbro]

Also the plugin doesn't show the battery percentage and the sensors are in the network for 2 weeks now.

[pipiche]

could you please provide the export of Plugin Raw Device (JSON) ?

[ronaldbro]

Sure, see attached

[pipiche]

SO iI guess we are talking about the new Lux sensor. Please do update the beta branch. This should work now

[ronaldbro]

Yep. Thanks.
I'll let you know the result

[ronaldbro]

Great, it works. First one has a reported battery percentage, I'm sure the other two will follow.

Thanks again.
