Connecting New Devices to ZHA with CC2652P

grayspark · March 31, 2024, 11:15am

Hi everyone, noob question here I guess, but I’ve tried looking around for an answer without any luck, so here it goes.

I bought a Zigbee coordinater with Texas Instrument CC2652P. It installed successfully on HA, and I can add devices to HA through it. So far so good.

I added two devices (sorry it seems I can only embed 1 image per post, so I’m being creative with links here):

1x Ikea Tradfri Smart Button Shortcut

1x Tuya PIR Motion Sensor

And here’s the Zigbee Coordinator

I’ve tried to check with event listener, using * (I assume this means I’m listening to all events fired), but nothing. I pressed the buttons repeatedly, nothing. I did test my other devices (that used cloud / wifi connection) and they worked just fine.

Did I miss something here? I’m assuming that my initial setup might be incorrect somehow, but I have a hard time figuring out what’s wrong here.

Thanks!

The visualization looks okay though:

never tried that. Try to listen to zha_event

grayspark · March 31, 2024, 1:52pm

I did, nothing comes up for zha_event

2 questions:

is your CC2652 connected directly in the computer, or do you use an USB extension cable ?
since you only have 2 end-devices, how far are they from the coordinator ?

Thanks Francis,

It’s connected directly to the computer, no extension cable
I’m currently testing with sensors, and they are pretty close by (at least I’m sure they are within range) – like around 3 meters apart, but in another room

grayspark · March 31, 2024, 2:17pm

I saw there’s a reason you asked about extension cable, let me try using one and take note of USB 3.0 or 2.1 that I’m using.

This is the thread that I saw earlier: WTH USB Extension Cable

Okay, update:

I bought a USB 2.0 with 1.5 meters long and put the zigbee coordinator there, restarted HA, and it doesn’t seem there’s any change at all
I tried to listen to * (all) events (after restarting and using the extension), the events fired was:

battery
RSSI (which I believe is related to signal strength)
identify
LQI

Still pretty stumped here. Any idea what should I do now?

Thanks

Now that you have an extension cable, try to pair them again.

grayspark · April 3, 2024, 2:42am

Hey thanks Francis, that actually helps with the Ikea switch.

So here’s the update for those who’s been following:

I bought a Zigbee coordinator with Texas Instrument CC2652P
Installed on ZHA (directly to the machine I’m using – a laptop installed with Debian)
Paired IKEA Tradfri Shortcut Button and Tuya PIR sensor
Both paired successfully, but failed to listen to any events
Bought an USB extension, USB 2.0 with 1.5 meters in length (that’s 590 inches)
Removed and re-pair IKEA Tradfri Shortcut Button
Restarted HA
Success – the shortcut button works well with automation and Blueprint
Re-pair Tuya PIR Sensor
Restarted HA
No-SUCCESS

Did I miss anything here?

The button works okay though. Even though the stats (is it called quirks?) doesn’t show correctly, and the battery didn’t pair correctly as well.

francisp · April 3, 2024, 3:22am

You might need a custom quirk

grayspark · April 15, 2024, 11:31am

Thanks Francis, tested this and still not sure where I should go. At this point I particularly gave up with ZHA, and will be testing Z2M after this to see if it works better. On one hand, ZHA should be easier (which is why I picked this one earlier), but on the other hand, most of my devices are Tuya (as they are cheap here).

thony · August 21, 2024, 3:03pm

Bumping this thread to ask what the info from the entity ID exposed when you use ZHA with this dongle tells me?

( ie. sensor.texas_instruments_cc2652 )

It’s an integer that seems to keep counting up after each HA reset so I’m guessing it’s somes sort of message count? Good messages or bad messages or some other type of scan? Google was no help here.
