8ch relay is not detected correctly

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hi guys.
I got the idea to replace my Rainbird ESP-TM2 controller with zigbee based solution. There are 8 independent watering lines in my garden, so I need to control 8 channels. I managed to get a device from here:

It seemed to be perfect for my case, but… it is not working correctly with HA. After powering the device it is detected and added to a list of zigbee devices, but seems like HA is not seeing the switches (there should be 8 switches that I can control).
The device is confirmed to work with TUYA application, so I am pretty sure the issue is related to HA setup. I have some programming skills and I will be happy to add my contribution, but I am totally new to HA and it would be much easier for me if someone experienced could give some directions what to do to make the relay work as it should.
My HA is installed on Raspberry, and I use SONOFF Zigbee USB Dongle (CC2652).

For starters, what Zigbee integration are you using? Zigbee2MQTT has a good resource page for how to add unsupported devices. I wouldn’t know where to start with ZHA but possibly you can do the same.

Unfortunately I use ZHA, and already have 20 working devices, so I guess it is not the best idea to change it. Can you please give me some tips what to do in this case?
Or you suggest to change the integration type anyway?

Maybe a ZHA user needs to chime in - I believe there is a similar mechanism for ZHA.

I chose Z2M from the start because it had a larger device database - also I already was using MQTT.

Think this link shows the same device. Be aware you can run both ZHA and Z2M at the same time on one HA installation. You need two coordinators, one for each.

Thanks for quick reply. I will try to switch to Z2M…

After migrating to Z2M the device is recognized correctly. Thanks so much for your help.
