deCONZ - Official thread

Easy mistake

Who knows how to zoom in deconz with iPhone?

I stumbled upon this error when diagnosing a room lighting automation.
It seems that when I call IKEA lights with turn on, only with brightness set, I get this error. But if I use light color (say Kelvin) as another variable in the automation, it doesn’t complain anything.

I did have an issue where controlling a DeConz light group with only brightness didn’t do anything - I only got the error in the log. Switching to control individual lights remedied this, but I still got the error. Adding the Kelvin to be controlled at the same time remedied the error in the log as well.

Now, I also noticed I get the error (after a fresh HASS restart) even when manually controlling the lights in HA gui. Only after I touch the color temp slider, the error stops appearing.

The hard part is that I don’t know which lights trigger the error, since I get that from some other lights still.

This is most probably a deCONZ side issue, so the best thing to do is to report it on GitHub - dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin: deCONZ REST-API plugin to control ZigBee devices

Should be fix in v2.19.1 :wink:

Bug Fixes

  • Fix OTA handling and looping for newer devices from Ikea, Ledvance and others

Let’s see…

Maybe this is more related to this post. How do you get the OTA files into deconz to be uploaded to the devices?

I can confirm it is fixed in2.19.1

Regarding the latest version, deconz 2.19,1, I see that one person has reported on github that Philips Hue Dimmers are not working. So I am naturally a litle sceptical about upgrading as I have a lot of Hue Dimmers. Have anyone else experienced this? Or are your Hue Dimmers just fine after upgrading to 2.19.1?

My Hue Dimmer switches are only partly working since the update to 6.16.0.
It is currently not possible to tab through different scenes when clicking the “on” Button.
Maybe its related

I use Deconz 2.19.1 and have plenty of Hue dimmers. I have seen no difference. They all work

How are you performing that? Is it with phoscon or in home assistant?

Two more persons have confirmed the issue at github so I stay with the older version for now.

I let Home Assistant update deCONZ to 2.19.1 (or 6.17.0 in HA) and almost instantly had problems with my Danfoss Ally thermostats; they disconnected/connected almost constantly.

Going back to the previous version fixed the problem.

Ok, to make it a bit clearer.
Amongst some Aquara switches I use two of these Hue switches:

I configured them here:

But since Version 6.16 that doesn’t work anymore. Even I’m not able to catch an event in HA since then as it might have been my alternate solution to create an automation on order to copy the normal behavior.
But since 6.16 as well, I have this picture instead:

Here:

I can add my lights an then I can simply switch them on and off but I’m not able to manage the scenes.
There is a scene editor available at that stage but its deactivated and will not help anyway as all my scenes are already defined.
That’s my issue and finally to answer your question: Yes, I work with Phoscon :wink:

So you are using a native deCONZ feature directly between the hue dimmer and the lights and Home Assistant is not involved with this at all.

I do not use that - all mine are doing functions through HA automations reacting on events so that is why I will not see this problem

It is nice to be made aware of the problem here on the HA forum. But to get support for this kind of problem it is best to subscribe to the deconz forum and raise the issues there. This is where the deconz developers are and where the Dresden Elektronik staff are. The traffic on that forum is low compared to the HA forum so it is easy to follow

OK thanks, I will do that

I’ve mentioned to the devs that there are multiple users experience issue with 2.19.1. Preferably you report unique issues separately to help getting this fixed

already opened an issue in the phoscon thread on GitHub

Great! Github is the proper place

Same for me, Deconz was crashing a few seconds after startup.
I had a backup for Deconz 6.15.0, and after restoring this version things started to work again.
I’ve now disabled the auto-update feature to avoid those issues in the future.
