2x TuYa TS0001_switch_module and 1x TS0002_switch_module switching as group?

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi,

this is my first step deeper into HA. Up to now I have only sensors and TRVs, without any automations. Bear with me. :slight_smile:

I have 3 independent lights with their switches in my hallway. I want all of the lights to be switched with all available switches. To solve this, I have mounted two TuYa TS0001_switch_module and one TuYa TS0002_switch_module, where the l1 endpoint is used for one light. All of them are set to toggle mode.

I now can switch all the lights independed as before, and have the possibility to switch them over zigbee2mqtt exposed state.

Now I tried to create a zigbee group and add the swich modules (and the endpoint l1).
devices.yaml:

'0xa4c138b5d21d492d':
  friendly_name: switch_module.uf_hallway_light
'0xa4c13857541e99e6':
  friendly_name: switch_module.gf_hallway_light_kitchen-door
'0xa4c13852c4de7fca':
  friendly_name: switch_module.gf_kitchen_light

groups.yaml:

'11':
  friendly_name: switch_module_group_hallway
  devices:
    - 'switch_module.uf_hallway_light'
    - 'switch_module.gf_hallway_light_balcony-door'
    - 'switch_module.gf_hallway_light_kitchen-door/l1'

I restarted Z2M, but this didn’t change anything. At least I didn’t observe any change.
Did I misunderstand ZigBee groups?

What I did, but didn’t bring my to a working solutions had been to convert the switches to lights and group them. Now I can switch them in Lovelace, but when I use the hardware light switches it also only switches the connected light. Which is expected I guess…

I also read something about ZigBee binding. Is this what I need?

Or do I need to set up automations for every switch to switch the other two?

Thanks for your help!

Edit: The finally workin solution.

I can’t remember what my first approach had been, but I successfully built a strobe light effect! :smiley:
The solution below now works since weeks without any issues.

Next steps for the light will be some motion sensors with time conditions or maybe presence detection in the bed, as we sleep with open bedroom door…

I made my groups via the frontend and it doesn’t use the friendly name for the devices but the address and endpoint as per below.

'3':
  friendly_name: Kitchen Lights
  devices:
    - 0x00124b00106de757/1
    - 0x00124b00320ded03/1

Both is legit. I also deleted it again and created again via the frontend. It’s the same.

In meantime I figured out, I misunderstood the purpose of ZigBee groups. It’s not possible to have all the other devices to do the same thing as the one getting a command, as I expected. It’s the group I have the command to be sent.

When I changed my automations to set the state at the group, everything worked fine.

Regarding ZigBee binding: I sadly figured out it’s just not supported by the devices I use. I updated it int the device description documentation.

How did you configure the switch to toggle mode? Mine work as toggle mode by default but I can’t find any option to change this behavior.

Every time I physical toggle the switch the light toggle.

Edit: Forget everything written before, in case you had been fast enough to see it.

Obviously the switch doesn’t have the toggle option. I guess I mixed that up with the Tuya switch_modules I also have…
