I’ve got a serious issue with a BlitzWolf smart plug “BW-SHP13” (BlitzWolf Electricity Metering 16A EU Plug (BW-SHP13) Zigbee compatibility, Zigbee ID: “TS0121”; “_TZ3000_g5xawfcq”; “_TZ3000_3ooaz3ng”) integrated using deCONZ (using a ConBee 2 coordinator).
Issue: Very slow update of current consumption values (“0804 Electrial measurement” cluster, id “0x050B” Active Power).
It takes somewhat from 5 (best-case) up to 15 (worst-case) minutes (!!!) until an update happens. That makes the devices unusable for almost any use-case (where metering accurate is important).
Compared to a WiFi based Shelly Plug S which reliably updates on every value change (can be multiple times per or at least once a second), the ZigBee integration of deCONZ falls far behind unfortunately.
There is only one single indication I could find that it might be device specific:
At the same time hearing from many others who integrated the very same device using ZigBee2MQTT or ZHA they don’t have this issue. So I tend to summarize
- either it’s a deCONZ integration specific issue (bug)
- or it’s a network based issue (which I don’t think as I have a very strong one with several other repeaters)
Interesting/what I discovered already:
- If I manually read the “0804 Electrial measurement” cluster, the current consumption value (id “0x050B” Active Power) updates immediately. It’s “just” the automatic update which takes like forever.
- If I remove some repeaters with a low LQI (well-known OSRAM smart plugs) from the ZigBee network (theory: maybe they delay/block the transmission of the value update), nothing changes.
So:
1) Is it “normal” for deCONZ integration with the BW-SHP13 devices?
2) Or is it a bug? If so:
- How can I debug this?
- What information is needed to help you help me?
This is really a deal-breaker/show-stopper for me as I (plan to) use many of the BW-SHP13 devices. So I urgently need to sort this out.
