deCONZ - Official thread

Thanks! For me it is just few days, but no single glitch since change :slight_smile: I’ll probably play a bit with LQI and number of hops to squeeze the most from the system, but already very glad from this move.

I believe, the hops depends a little from the amount of plugged devices (routers) you have.
I do have much more than sensors or switches and so most of my links never touched more than two devices until the target point. So I went with 4 in order to be safe.

OK, just got hit by Eunice storm, not having electricity for 2 days… so all my systems went down and I have strange observation after restoring everything; change of routing to application managed is gone after statr… seems like configuration of deconz was somehow reset (partially, I did not lost my devices), but settings for enabling app routing, LQI and number of hops were lost… I searched around GUI, but I was not able to find any sort of Save (or even Apply) button. So this raises the question… if these options are enabled in GUI but not stored permanently, means every restart of the entire system (including deconz container) will cause reset of configuration. Are these settings really applied or is it just placebo effect? I feel lost…

Guys, a question:

In my case I had the conbee 2 running Rock solid on an pi 4b. Since I moved everything to the odroid n2+ HA + deconz addon I had two issues where deconz was offline.

After restart of the addon all was working again.
The log, in case of the issue was full of:

failed to reconnect to network try X

Are anyone of you running the same setup?
Are there any issues like this?

Thx

Hello all!

Another month comes with another release log on Phoscon forum for the HA deCONZ integration

The beta was cut yesterday and I wanted to share what’s changed since last release.

Released with Home Assistant 2022.3.0

The main thing to highlight is a button entity which will allow updating a scene based on current attributes.
Most work this last month has gone into refactoring how entities are created leading to a more stream lined process which will make it much easier to expand with new sensor entities for deCONZ devices. Next step will be to move most sensor attributes to becoming own stand alone entities.

pydeconz releases

Take care and keep on supporting each other!

Good morning all,

Just to know,
Has anyone bought the recent (2022 model version 70) LIDL 3-socket extension cord, HG06338?
if yes, do you manage to pair and control each socket individually ? All I could do is pair it as a switch and control all the socket together…
I could do that with the 2021 model version 69, but impossible to do with this latest version…

I have HA2022.2.3, and the deconz plugin.
I have joined the issue which seems to be talking about it on the GitHub Dresden discussion, but it is more to see if this is widespread or local to some.
And I can’t really tell if it is an integration issue or else…

Sincerely
Vincent

Thanks a lot for your efforts and Support!!!

I have a question regarding my heiman smoke sensors paired to deconz. Currently using an automation and added 8x device triggers, one for every device. It works but want to make an trigger which is independed of the entity id’s and also works when an smoke sensor get’s renamed or added.

Any hints I can achive this?

Here is an debug trigger of an sample alarm:

this:
  entity_id: automation.feuer_erkannt
  state: 'on'
  attributes:
    last_triggered: '2022-03-01T17:44:36.599997+00:00'
    mode: single
    current: 0

  last_updated: '2022-03-01T19:00:12.282234+00:00'
  context:
    id: xxx
    parent_id: null
    user_id: null
trigger:
  id: '6'
  idx: '6'
  platform: device
  entity_id: binary_sensor.rauchmelder_wohnzimmer
  from_state:
    entity_id: binary_sensor.rauchmelder_wohnzimmer
    state: 'off'
    attributes:
      'on': true
      device_class: smoke
      friendly_name: Rauchmelder Wohnzimmer
    last_changed: '2022-03-01T17:32:40.376292+00:00'
    last_updated: '2022-03-01T17:32:40.376292+00:00'

      user_id: null
  to_state:

Thx

You could do some template_trigger based on the device class which should be “smoke”. I’m not really doing anything advanced like that with my automations but you should probably be able to find examples based on that

thx, will try this an post my results.

Now it’s working with any smoke sensor, regardless of the entity_id or name.
My automation is:

alias: Feuer erkannt
description: ''
trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: state_changed
condition:
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.new_state.attributes.device_class == ''smoke'' }}'
  - condition: template
    value_template: '{{ trigger.event.data.new_state.state == ''on'' }}'
action:
...

Hope this helps someone :slight_smile:
Thanks for pointing me into the right direction.

Sweet! Great that you solved it

Hi, can you give a link which of the smoke detectors you are using? Are they reliable?

Hi. I am using the Heiman HS1SA-M Zigbee 3.0 Smoke detector (German Distri: Schwaiger ZHS20).

I bougth on Aliexpress and Schwaiger. Both are working reliable in my deconz setup. Testing them every month with an test spray.

On every restart I got this error-message:

Error connecting to deCONZ gateway at core-deconz

Anyone know what can I do about this?

Hi guys,
My Deconz add-on in hassio takes 4.5 hours to load after each restart
I have about 120 devices and after the loading all works perfectly.

Log shows nothing, just “starting process”.
phoscon doesn’t work until system is up, shows an error on the add-on log every time I click the button.
deconz loads the following screen:

can anyone here please assist?

Hi,

I am just starting with HA and I bought Conbee2. After I plugged it in the HA automatically added integration ZHA. OK. I was fine with that until I started reading about deConz. So I installed deConz.
My issue here is that ZHA was reporting rssi and LQI as entity of aqara temperature sensor and I kind of liked that. Other than that I liked deConz better. Is there any setting in deConz application where I could enable the RSSI information. Also, searching through deConz application I didn’t find RSSI information anywhere… Any Ideas?
