Domoticz

Hi All,

I received a Silvercrest smart button which I would like to use as a simle switch (toggle button)
The smart button is showing up in Domoticz however i cannot control anything and I don't see the status changes in Zigee2Mqtt.

Did anyone fgure out how to get this working from Domoticz? I know there is a solution in HA but want to stay with Domoticz.

In The Zibee portal the device shows Empty string("").

Any help appreaciated.

If you are using mqtt auto discover on Domoticz to interface with Zigbee2MQTT and you are on stable 2023.2 the device should work.

Edit: if it is this device you perhaps also have to update Zigbee2MQTT as it seems to be supported with the action parameter.

Hi,

I updated Domoticz to 2023.3 and updated Zigbee2Mqtt.
After discover I can see a lot of devices with their ID-Names. When I use the smart button I can see the light switch goes on in Domoticz. However it looks like it is controlled through HA. While my goal is not to use HA at all.

I can see the smart button as push button (exposed from HA trigger), but when pressing it from Domoticz i get an error.

any thought on how to setup without HA and only use it with MQTT and Domoticz?

I have really no idea what you did with HA....

Domoticz is talking directly with Zigbee2MQTT over MQTT. HA has nothing to do with this.

Hi,


I disabled HA and added auto discovery.

In Domoticz I see 2 antries
On_action as push on
Off_action as push off

I want to use this device to control a switch as use the button as a push 1 push: if on the of if off then on.
Tried to add the witsch as slave device but not controlling it, do i need to use a blockly to achive this?

Hemant

The slave part is not working for this, that is meant for RF devices that cannot report back.

You could use a group to put the light(s) in and select the switch as a controlling device. But perhaps not working as you have 2 controlling domoticz devices.

So probably you have to script this with Blockly or DzVents.

Hi Walter,

Done I have the button in a blockly with a toggle function which works.
Solved!

Hi,

I'm still have some issues with this.

Without MQTT discovery ik can see the button acts on push but it does not control.
When I use MQTT discovery i get some additional on action values in the devices, whihc i created ablockly for however not every couple of weeks i need do change the battery. Also this is very unstable looses connection while being close to the router when I push the button is the light of the button starts blinking after a couple of retries the light goes of and i can control the lamp again.

Any ideas on the behaviour? and why battery gets depleted? I did not have this issue with Home-assistant it would last for almost a year.
So something in domoticz is messing this up.

Hemant

I have no idea. Check with the application mqtt explorer if a lot of messages are being sent to or from this device. Perhaps you switched on polling in zigbee2MQTT?

No changes.

Just wondering i updates both zigbee2mqtt and domoticz to add mqttdiscory. Im not sure id this respect s caused by the zigbee2mqtt update.

Anyone else got same behaviour
