Hello! So i've bought our first house last year, did most of renovating the work myself, all the electrical, heating etc. I read alot about atomationa and choose Home Assistant a little before starting, but i've only been really trying to get into it the past 2 months.
Now the wife is pretty relaxed, and i've kept her important spaces as basic as possible for now but she's getting pretty fed up with our blinds/covers/rolladen not working yet. We have a very loud new born, and spare time or sleep has become a thing of distant dreams. Things are getting abit unpleasant sometimes around this subject as any married man will understand. So please any help would be much appriciated.
I've installed the TZ3210 TS130F ZIGBEE switches on all my 12 motors. Naïvely thought it'd be no problem once connected to HA i also covered them up behind their boarding and didn't build switches apart from two rooms... (yeh big mistake)
They are paired fine but i cannot for the life of me figure out how to actually calibrate them. Tried it all and been looking all for a good week now. Their End spots are never correct and the HA menu isn't very helpfull in that regard.
Any help, link, guidance would go a long way, thank you.
Does it report that it is in calibration mode when you follow the steps? Specifically this (assuming you are using Z2M)?: I don't have the devices myself.
Value can be found in the published state on the calibration property. To read (/get ) the value publish a message to topic zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/get with payload {"calibration": ""} . To write (/set ) a value publish a message to topic zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/set with payload {"calibration": NEW_VALUE} . If value equals ON calibration is ON, if OFF OFF
thanks this actually helped alot. You are clearly using a program i was not so i figured out i need to install Zigbee2MQTT, wich i am trying now but onboarding keeps failing, currently working with ChatGPT to get it up and running.
-EDIT:
Seems Zigbee2MQTT doesn't run with a ZBT2. I bought two of em so i would have no issues. Another 4h without progress tonight , this isn't going nearly as well as i had hoped.
Thanks brother, looking quite forward to that actually haha
The main problem is really a lack of interface or platform to somehow set these things up.
They motors themself have a mechanical end point wich i have set up when installing them last year. The idea was to connect them all to the network, then calibrate them trough HA when i have the time but i cant set end or begin points, time to run etc.
Thanks for the quick response. The problem is however i bought the official HA ZBT 2 Dongles (one for Thread, one Zigbee) , Zigbee2MQTT doesnt work with them and from what i've read last night it is very inadvisable to run multiple zigbee networks.
There's no issue running Z2M with A ZBT-2. If you have two, running ZHA on the other one,set up the second one with Z2M and pair the devices - it's quick to see if you can calibrate there or not. I'm not suggesting you run two different zigbee networks in the future, just to test.
Cheers Fleskefjes. i will try that tonight when i get home from work.
CoPilot and ChatGPT straight up told me it Z2M doesn't work with ZBT 2 and to buy another adapter
So 2 days of overtime and unexpected extra daddy time i now finally had a free moment again.
As i dont want to lose my thread network as that is where most my Wife's stuff is on (IKEA stuff, remotes, vacuum, Dryer etc) but after deleting my ZHA configured ZBT2 and added the Z2MQTT.. after abit of fiddling and a very usefull YT vid it worked! Adding worked flawless and i couldn't believe how great the UI looked, finally something tangable to set up things. Calibrating went perfect and immediatly hit the breaker to replace all the othersswitches behind the boarding, my HA lost power aswell and after the reboot Z2MQTT wouldnt start anymore...
After 30 min of trying i can't get Z2Q to start anymore, but thats for tommorow.
So switching to Zigbee2MQTT was the solution, it worked "right out of the box" as soon i tried that. Thanks alot Fleskefjes!
