Domoticz

This is just to let you know that the Zigate plugin has moved to a new GitHub ownership and has been renamed. In order for your to continue getting the latest update make sure to do the following

Go to the Zigate plugin folder and do the following commands
That is all.

The plugin has been renamed to Zigbee for Domoticz as the upcoming version will managed TI CCxxx chipset through the zigpy libraries. The current development are done on an zzh key from Lama electronics

for you at that time using Zigate, there is not a single change for you, just the fact that we hope the community to be bigger and then benefit from additional developppers

And what about Zigate stick? Will it be supported?

No change at all, full support of Zigate via native move, only the Texas and other keys will be through zigpy layer

It's very nice project and hope to see Texas CC dongle version soon!

All our tests are currently done with https://electrolama.com/projects/zig-a-zig-ah/

Does it work with the Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 stick?

Awesome news! For reference and back-story, there is a technical discussion about some benefits of utilizing zigpy here -> viewtopic.php?f=31&t=29101

zigpy-znp works with ITead's "SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus" (CC2652P based model) however would recommend upgrade to latest firmware first:

https://itead.cc/product/sonoff-zigbee- ... ngle-plus/ -> https://sonoff.tech/product-review/sono ... tutorials/

https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-znp

Many Zigbee coordinators from other manufacturers use same CC2652P/CC2652R/CC2652RB chips are compatible with the same firmware are listed here:

https://github.com/Koenkk/Z-Stack-firmw ... _3.x.0/bin

https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/information/ ... pters.html

But the project does not yet implement "bellows" library for zigpy for Silicon Labs radios as in Silabs EFRMG21 radios like ITead's Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle:

https://itead.cc/product/zigbee-3-0-usb-dongle/

That zzh adapter by Electrolama as well as Slaesh CC2652RB development stick should currently be recommended for developers and testers of zigpy-znp:

https://slae.sh/projects/cc2652/

https://electrolama.com/projects/zig-a-zig-ah/

Electrolama in addition have zoe2 which is based on the also compatible CC1352P:

https://electrolama.com/projects/zoe2/

Electrolama upcoming zzhp will be based on CC2652P (with power amplifier) but has been delayed due to the current worldwide chip shortages.

Interesting project!

I have a deCONZ and currently use https://github.com/Smanar/Domoticz-deCONZ so I am not really in need of a new solution. But if I understand correctly that solution relies on deCONZ own implementation (via rest). Their webinterface shows little "fun" stuff, to see that I need to run the X-window application (and thus an X-server etc etc - not as fun as seeing things directly in a webinterface)

But I got curious about the use of https://github.com/zigpy and https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy-deconz ie the possibility to use this project to access the same things as in Zigate for other controllers. Ie does this new era include ideas of also include deCONZ?

This could be indeed a path. We are however focussing on zzh ( based on Z-Stack ZNP) for the time. There is indeed a zigpy-deconz module which should do the trick , but didn't investigate yet.

Perhaps it would be possible to convince Smanar to join the development of https://github.com/zigbeefordomoticz/Do ... tree/zigpy using zigpy-deconz?

https://github.com/Smanar/Domoticz-deCONZ is also written in Python and if joined the https://github.com/zigbeefordomoticz/Do ... tree/zigpy project then Domoticz users would have a unified Zigbee plugin all written in Python which did not rely on third-party applications or closed source code libraries.

@pipiche After the Texas Instruments ZNP module is stable I would love for you to next prioritize focusing on a "bellows" for Silabs support in your plugin.

https://github.com/zigpy/bellows/

Partly because zigpy developer Adminiuga's own primary production/testing focus uses bellows so then he would then probably have a personal interest in assisting your project, and partly because Silicon Labs is the worlds largest manufacturer of Zigbee MCU/SoC chips and a IEEE 802.15.4 industry leader.

https://github.com/Adminiuga

https://www.silabs.com/wireless/zigbee

Note! bellows works best with newer released Silabs EFR32 chips but all using their EmberZNet Serial API version 8 protocol (EZSP v8) work however and recommended is to use EmberZNet NCP 6.7.9 firmware or later so the general tip is to buy one based on as new of a Silicon Labs EFR32 chip as possible.

Zigbee coordinator adapters using Silicon Labs chips with EmberZNet firmware also ranks among the least expensive as well as most available worldwide.

For reference, all these Silabs based adapters works with bellows as long as updated to EmberZNet 6.7.9 coordinator NCP firmware or newer for EZSP v8:

bellows works best with any Zigbee coordinator based on Silicon Labs EFR32 Zigbee NCP SoC from EFR32MG21/MGM210 and EFR32MG12/MGM12 series:

• https://www.silabs.com/wireless/zigbee/ ... -2-modules
• https://www.silabs.com/wireless/zigbee/ ... ies-2-socs
• https://www.silabs.com/wireless/zigbee/ ... -1-modules
• https://www.silabs.com/wireless/zigbee/ ... ies-1-socs

Understand that EFR32MG12/MGM12 series and older chips will not get support for the upcoming EmberZNet 7.x firmware/SDK release, (Silicon Labs had planned for a new SDK version sooner but with chip shortage the upcoming EFR32MG23 and EFR32MG24 series which it is optimized for has been delayed).

Anyway, firmware is maintained by community can be updated with Elelabs EZSP Firmware Update Utility or Zigbee firmware updater image by walthowd:

• https://github.com/zha-ng/EZSP-Firmware

Direct link to zigpy wiki page where MattWestb documented recommended application firmware version for different Silabs EZSP Zigbee coordinators:

https://github.com/zigpy/zigpy/wiki/Coo ... ordinators

PS: Always remember to always use a long USB extension cable to avoid EMF from devices/cables regardless of which Zigbee Coordinator that you are using!

thanks @Gamester17 for your nice and long post, anyone willing to help/support us in this journey is/are more than welcome. We are just few guys doing it on our spare time.

So anyone having a deConz or Silabs or Xbee devices is/are more than welcome to join us

Hello, I have Xbee 3 and Xbee S2C modules.
If I can help, it will be my pleasure.

Updated the github repository with 6.x one and it works fine.

I have Zigate USB v.1 device and I'm using old Firmware: 031d . In Zigate-Firmware/ZiGate-V1/ folder I can see many firmware versions:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 182352 Jun 25 2021 ZiGate_Pluzzy_HA1.2v2100.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 209120 Jun 25 2021 ZiGate_v3.1d.bin

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208404 Jun 25 2021 ZiGate_v3.1e_OPDM_requires_EraseEEPROM.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208464 Sep 6 16:56 ZiGate_v3.20-OPDM.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208464 Sep 6 16:56 ZiGate_v3.20-legacy.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208568 Dec 14 17:16 ZiGate_v3.21-OPDM.bin
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 208568 Dec 14 17:16 ZiGate_v3.21-legacy.bin

Which one would be the best to load into my Zigate stick and be sure not to loose all the device bindings and other data?

Cheers and thnx, Jan

If you are on 31d, it means that you are on the legacy firmware, so the best is to upgrade to ZiGate_v3.21-legacy.bin

Make sure not to set any Erase EEPROM not Erase PDM option during the upgrade.

I think that on the Zigate web site there is also a procedure to backup the Zigate in order to restore it to the same .

upgraded to 3.21-legacy and it's working like a charm. Thnx! Now that weird 4-way switch TS0044 (Tuya 4-way switch) works

Is there any disadvantage to upgrading to OPDM version? (other than needing to re-pair the devices)

Hi,
I tried today Zigate plugin(i have Zigate v1 usb stick) with Sonoff dongle plus, but without success .
Need to install mosquito or something else?

Please make an short tutorial step by step with installation and domoticz plugin settings.

Thank you!

As said, we are in the development right now. You can find some stuff under the zigpy branche of the plugin.
