I just started with home assistant from Homey, and the aqara switches i used in homey works fine but i cant see the power usage. its missing
I have 5 of these relays in total and its the same with all
I use sonoff dongle and MQTT
Everything else works fine, but would like for this to work as well
Any ideas?
this is the one
Hi, I have the same problem. Did you find a solution to get the energy and power updated?
Same problem here. Originally bought two of these to measure the power usage on two circuits, I have three in total. They were working fine for some time (weeks or months, don’t remember at the time) until they all stopped reporting values some time in February or march I think.
All three stopped reporting values less than a day apart.
I have since switched houses. I have a new HA instance and do not have the data easily available. But I have a backup, so I can report back soon.
I have now connected one of the switches to my new instance (with a different conbee2-stick) and it’s still not reporting values. Tried updating OTA with zigbee2mqtt, no cigar.
I booted up my old instance and checked the energy and power readings in grafana and collected some information.
I have three devices;
- device 1:
first reported value: 2021-10-20 17:19
last reported value: 2022-02-03 06:04:00
- device 2:
first reported value: 2022-01-14 17:45
last reported value: 2022-02-03 06:10:54
- device 3:
first reported value: 2022-01-14 18:14
last reported value: 2022-02-03 06:15:08
The ‘last reported value’ is the last sample where the value (energy or power) changed. After that there are still samples in influx-db, but the line is flat.
After adding one of the devices in my new HA instance it just says None on both energy and power entities.
In zigbee2mqtt it says Null.
So all three devices stop working at nearly the same time regardless of when they were added and I wonder if anyone else had their device stop working at that date.
I didn’t notice them not working until some time later, so I could not know if something happened at that time, e.g. zigbee2mqtt update. But I don’t think I would have done any maintenance that early in the morning.
Found this post about it on the zigbee2mqtt github.
It seems to have happened when zigbee2mqtt was updated.
There are two options:
Pleased to say that I could get it working with an external converter. Will use that for now and save upgrading the coordinator for rainy day.
Here is a working external converter.
Adding external converter: More configuration options | Zigbee2MQTT
The data directory of zigbee2mqtt is normally in /config/zigbee2mqtt (same as z2m’s configuration.yaml). Good luck, hope it works out for you!
@dissar What solution are you currently using? For some reason I can’t get the external converter to work. I also tried to upgrade the firmware of my coordinator but ran into issues there as well, so I had to downgrade/revert.
What is the data directory exactly? Is that the directory in which configuration.yaml lives or is it a directory inside that directory?
I fixed it by updating the coordinator firmware and re-pairing the devices. The external converter route didn’t work for me.
Hi, I’ve a similar situation: I’ve integrated a couple of T1 w/ Neutral (paired with Aqara M2 hub) in Home Assistant by using HomeKit Controller. Power consumption data are visible in the Aqara Home app but are not shown in HA. Did you manage to solve it some way that could be useful to me too?
