Hello. Is there similar blueprint for Cube T1 Pro on zigbee2mqqt?

Sir_Goodenough · October 6, 2024, 6:22pm

The one I made for Z2M actually works, as the pro version is not completely supported in ZHA, only Z2M.

(Hundreds of possible actions!!) Works with MQTT Directly bypassing both Legacy and non-Legacy trigger issues. This Blueprint uses a Zigbee2MQTT built sensor to sort out the 58+ unique commands (118+ total) available from the Xiaomi Magic Cube Remote. (Some unique commands listed as + are not counted & available thru templating only. See the related document.)

Did you find a solution for your issue?

I just got my T1 Pro and connected it through ZHA using a Sonoff Zigbee Dongle Plus. It’s recognized as lumi.remote.cagl02 by LUMI, but the only control I see is an on/off switch that gets triggered when I shake or rotate the cube—that’s about it.

I’ve tried listening to zha_events in the event listener, but nothing appears regardless of any actions I perform with the cube (shake, rotate, flip, drop, toss, etc.).

I’ve heard that some people fixed this issue by updating the coordinator firmware. Others mentioned resetting the device by removing the battery and switching the mode to ACTION by pressing the link button five times. My dongle is fairly new so I am reluctant on touching the firmware for now.

I’m a bit stuck at this point. I’m planning to tinker with the device more, and if that doesn’t work, I’ll consider updating the firmware on the dongle.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You are in scene mode. Change it to action mode.
(Or put some pressure on to get this fixed…

Thank you, I will try that again. I pressed the button 5 times and no luck, maybe it didnt register. I will try again and see if I can properly get it into action mode & I’ll also put some pressure on the issue.

No matter what I did I could not put the cube into action mode. It might have been a faulty cube so I will return it and maybe get a different type of controller until there is better ZHA compatibility.

Hi,

I also got a T1Pro and cannot set it to Action Mode. Pressing the button 5 times doesn´t change a thing.

Could it be they removed this functionality in recent FW versions?
