Unexpected issue Zigbee2MQTT hardware

Several months ago (I don't know exactly how many) I made a prototype of a multi purpose zigbee device (CC2530 + CC2591 with some outputs, 1 input and a MFRC522 linked to UART). For inspiration see https://gio-dot.github.io/Z1-Mini/zigbe ... tag-reader.
The prototype worked excellently (using MQTT Auto Discovery Client Gateway with LAN). For each unique tag, a unique switch was created in Domoticz. The outputs and the input also worked as expected.
This week I wanted to use the prototype in my production system. After pairing, the outputs and the input appeared to work as expected. The creation of the unique switches after reading the various TAGs did not work anymore.
Is this a deliberate change or an error that has arisen over time?

Hopefully this problem can be solved. Thanks in advance for a reply.

Not sure what you mean with '1' ... devices are created in Domoticz correctly?
If yes, what do you mean with '2' ?

Did you create a tag reader?

Please post the config topic + payload for '2'

Did you check the device list in menu Setup - Devices?
If they are present there, are they activated (blue arrow icon)? If not activate them.
If they are activated but not visible in the switches tab please go to menu Setup - Users and clear the assigned device list for the admin user you are using (most likely "admin").

I created a Tag reader (MFRC522 > Nano > UART PTVO).

Code: Select all

{"automation_type":"trigger","device":{"identifiers":["zigbee2mqtt_0x00124b00043a2953"],"manufacturer":"Custom devices (DiY)","model":"[Multi-channel relay switch](https://ptvo.info/zigbee-switch-configurable-firmware-router-199/) (ptvo.switch)","name":"Schuur","sw_version":"2023-08-10"},"payload":"  8A 43 EA 0E","subtype":"  8A 43 EA 0E","topic":"zigbee2mqtt/Schuur/action","type":"action"}
Is this what you mean?

Thanks in advance.

The expected switches cannot be found in the device list.

Thanks for your quick reply

Unfraternally this is not what i mean.
If you login with MQTT Explorer, you should see a node with the auto discovery topic name (probably homeassistant), underneath this you see sub topics like lights,sensors,cover,binary_sensor etc...
Try to find your tag reader or tags
Then there should be a topic with 'config', this is the information I am looking for

Yep, thanks, could you also post the payload of 'zigbee2mqtt/Schuur/action'

Could you also answer the questions from my first reply above?

Don't you get switches for each tag? Or binary_sensors?

Reason for this is that type 'device_automation' was never supported

Answers:
1. The following switches were created automatically. Input is linked to l2 (see start topic)

2. I hope to have answered question 2 through my (previous) answers.

Don't you get switches for each tag? Or binary_sensors? Answer is no

You said: Reason for this is that type 'device_automation' was never supported.
But a few months ago it worked, for each separate TAG its own switch was created.

Okey, but even 'if' it was supported back then (by looking in the code), you also need a 'state_topic' and I do not see that in here.
It is also strange to see the payload beginning with a space character...
Who is generating this all?

Another thing, we never had to support the device_automation because there was 'always' a switch or binary_sensor object to use

And if you look at the original project web page:

https://gio-dot.github.io/Z1-Mini/zigbe ... tag-reader

You will see that the output is

Code: Select all

binary_sensor:  
  - platform: mqtt
    name: "Z1 Wiegand"
    payload_on: "4710313" # readed code
    payload_off: ""
    state_topic: "zigbee2mqtt/0x00124b0022609cd1/action" # topic where code is sent
    expire_after: 1 # After 1s code is cleared
So why is yours not? This is also 100% what I expect it to be!

Then the problem may be caused by the Arduino code. I was unable to adapt the code (https://gio-dot.github.io/Z1-Mini/zigbe ... tag-reader) to the MFRC522. Finally, I used the following code.

Code: Select all

//Programa : RFID - Toegangscontrole RFID
//Autor : 
 
#include <SPI.h>
#include <MFRC522.h>
 
#define SS_PIN 10
#define RST_PIN 9
MFRC522 mfrc522(SS_PIN, RST_PIN);   // Create MFRC522 instance.
 
char st[20];

void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);   // Initialiseer seriële communicatie
  SPI.begin();      // Initialiseer  SPI bus
  mfrc522.PCD_Init();   // Initialiseer MFRC522
}
 
void loop() 
{
  // Look for new cards
  if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_IsNewCardPresent()) 
  {
    return;
  }
  // Select one of the cards
  if ( ! mfrc522.PICC_ReadCardSerial())
  {
    return;
  }
  // Toon UID tag
  Serial.print("");
  String inhoud= "";
  byte letter;
  for (byte i = 0; i < mfrc522.uid.size; i++) 
  {
     Serial.print(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX);
     inhoud.concat(String(mfrc522.uid.uidByte[i], HEX));
  }
  {
    delay(2000); // waits for 2 seconds
  }
}

Partly by using Nodered I have a working PTVO module. Gizmocuz, thank you very much for your help

Features: 1 input for a door contact, 1 output for a buzzer, 2 outputs for a LED, 2 outputs for a relay and 1 RFID reader

The Arduino code shown above has been changed.

A text sensor has been created in Domoticz. The UID of a TAG is shown in this text sensor. The following Nodered flow is used for this.
