Adding trv to zigbee2mqtt

Hi all! Made the mistake to order this 5pcs tuya smart zigbee3.0 thermostat radiator valve temperature schedule setting window open detection function app remote voice control work with alexa google assistance Sale - Banggood.com from Bangood without checking if compatible prior buying !. Has anyone successfully integrated these trv’s? In pairing mode it is not recognized by zigbee2mqtt (Skyconnect) so I don’t know where to start debugging. Bangood site doesn’t give much info of vendor etc. more than protocol is Zigbe/Zigbe 3.0/Z-Wave/Matter. Any hints/help much appreciated

There are a multitude of these similarly-looking trv out there. What does Z2M state when you want to pair it?
EDIT: I bought these a while ago and at first there were some issues with Z2M but they got fixed over time

Thank’s for such quick reply!
Nothing happens at all despite close to skyconnect, nothing in log. I’ve added other devices earlier so I think z2m is setup correctly. Yaml locks like this : data_path: /config/zigbee2mqtt
socat:
enabled: true
master: pty,raw,echo=0,link=/tmp/ttyZ2M,mode=777
slave: tcp-listen:8485,keepalive,nodelay,reuseaddr,keepidle=1,keepintvl=1,keepcnt=5
options: “-d -d”
log: true
mqtt: {}
serial: {}
Ok?

And you are sure you set it correctly to pairing ? … I donot have the manual anymore but I think to remember to need to remove the battery and/or set it to 0 or so.

EDIT: I mean…I have always seen Z2M respond and show s some ID even when in some (!) cases it was not able to set it up correctly.

EDIT2: did you check your local z2m app webpage?

According to information in manual you turn knob to ‘OF’ and then press until wifi is blinked. Wifi is blinking to connect to official gateway and I gather it would be the same procedure to z2m ?
EDIT2: did you check your local z2m app webpage? Yes I did and nothing really happens

Is your Z2M also accepting pair requests (Permit Join enabled). Even an unsupported device will appear in Z2M.

If I understand the product page correctly, this device can come in variations. Perhaps yours aren’t Zigbee but something else (one of the comments says that the protocol type should be marked on the box)?

Even if they are not directly supported by z2m, you should be able to pair them.

Also: it seems weird that your z2m config uses socat and not a serial port.

On the box Tuya zigbee is checked (other unchecked options is zigbee3.0 and matter). From manual:
-batteries inserted => ‘IN’ on display => mount to radiator

  • press once => ‘LA’ => calibrating and when finished shows actual temperature
  • rotate button to ‘OF’ (zero degrees) and hold until wifi symbol flashes => connecting to gateway.
    -That’s all info given really.
    I’m running HA in a VM on proxmox, hence the socat ?? Anyway my other zigbee unit works. Am I missing some basics?

Doesn’t sound like it, no. But as said before: even if the devices aren’t supported, you should still be able to pair them (provided that Permit Join is enabled in z2m, of course).

Still no luck pairing the trv’s. I’ve ordered a SLZB-06 replacing my SkyConnect and hopefully this works better. Anyway thank’s for Your answers.
