eWeLink SA-003-Zigbee switch appair as light

Configuration Zigbee
1

Hello all,

I got 3 eWeLink Zigbee on/off controller they work great the only problem that I have is that from deConz side they are recognized as light instead I’m using them as switch to enable some fan coil unit.

So how I can do to change the domain? I sow that there is something to show a switch as light but I have not found what to do the reverse.

Interesting that you got them to work at all. I can’t get these to pair. It seems to knock the device out of pairing mode (I guess that the device now thinks it’s paired, has exchanged network keys etc), but then it doesn’t seem to be able to recognise the device.

I am using mine for lights, but I agree, it probably should be a switch, as it can be used for almost anything.

I did several attempt by pushing and hold the internal button through a needle, I have to admit it was not the quickest device that I have included , however I was able to connect 3 device and they are working pretty well

What coordinator are you using?

I’m using Conbee 2

I’m using a conbee 2 stick and I found the best way to get them to pair without pulling your hair out is to plug them in, and then come back tomorrow. They’ll magically be found by then lol

Had the same issue using ZHA with Nortek HUSBZB-1 controller. Each one paired just fine and on the first try. To change from light to switch for each respective device_ieee, in configuration.yaml add:

zha:
  device_config:                                                                                       
    00:12:4b:00:22:67:db:1a-1:                                                                         
      type: 'switch'
    00:12:4b:00:22:67:db:51-1:                                                                         
      type: 'switch'

You will need to go through an delete the light entities afterwards.

I do not know what you mean by “You need to go through and delete the light entries afterwards”. Do you mean remove the devices? I made that configuration change to my configuration.yaml file and it still shows as light.

zha:
device_config:
00:12:4b:00:22:69:ad:f2:
type: ‘switch’
00:12:4b:00:22:69:9d:32:
type: ‘switch’
