Hi guys, I recently bought a Calex Smart Wall Switch only to figure out this isn’t officially supported in ZHA.
However, it is in Z2MQTT: Calex 421782 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT
Also see: Calex Dimmer Switch Colour Control (421782) Zigbee compatibility
ZHA does recognize the device so I thought I’d use the event listener to fetch the events myself and create a blueprint.
The on, off, and dim buttons are working fine and I even figured out the W button (switch color temperature to a random value).
The only issue I have is with the RGB. The switch fires a enhanced_move_to_hue_and_saturation event on cluster id 768 (whatever that means…) but there are no arguments passed that I can send to a sequence to set the color values or anything.
It almost seems like this device is just telling to “rotate through RGB values” or something, not sure…
It actually sends two events when trying to set a color:
First:
{
"event_type": "zha_event",
"data": {
"device_ieee": "00:15:8d:00:02:4f:3b:bb",
"unique_id": "00:15:8d:00:02:4f:3b:bb:1:0x0300",
"device_id": "cd4f7431b1eaeccd8ce5858ad65dfe45",
"endpoint_id": 1,
"cluster_id": 768,
"command": "color_loop_set",
"args": [
15,
0,
0,
0,
0
]
},
"origin": "LOCAL",
"time_fired": "2022-02-02T23:49:55.384259+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "341b419d520890bdf72020b8dd1e5e2f",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
Second:
{
"event_type": "zha_event",
"data": {
"device_ieee": "00:15:8d:00:02:4f:3b:bb",
"unique_id": "00:15:8d:00:02:4f:3b:bb:1:0x0300",
"device_id": "cd4f7431b1eaeccd8ce5858ad65dfe45",
"endpoint_id": 1,
"cluster_id": 768,
"command": "enhanced_move_to_hue_and_saturation",
"args": []
},
"origin": "LOCAL",
"time_fired": "2022-02-02T23:49:55.521128+00:00",
"context": {
"id": "5a8fc04bddd5214fb8455b2762fe4f8f",
"parent_id": null,
"user_id": null
}
}
If anyone has more info on how to proceed with this, please let me know!
