Hello everyone,
I’m hoping to get some guidance on a new Zemismart Zigbee switch. My goal is to create a “virtual parallel” setup (like a 3-way switch) or trigger a scene.
My Hardware:
- Zemismart KES-606US-L6 (6-gang, connected to the lights) - Product Link
- Platform: Home Assistant with Zigbee2MQTT
The Plan: I want to use one of the buttons on my 4-gang switch (Switch 2) to wirelessly control one of the relays on my 6-gang switch (Switch 1). To do this correctly, I would like to set one of the 6 buttonos of the switch into a mode where it sends a Zigbee command but does not trigger its own internal relay. I know I can just use Automations to run the actions, but that way the relay always triggers even when it’s not needed.
The Problem: I have successfully paired the switch with Zigbee2MQTT. All 6 relays appear as entities and I can control them from Home Assistant.
However, when I go to the device in the Zigbee2MQTT UI, there is no option in the “Exposes” tab to change the operation_mode to decoupled, event, or scene mode.
Based on my understanding of similar Tuya/Zemismart devices and some videos I watched, the hardware should support this decoupled functionality. It seems this feature is just not exposed in the current Zigbee2MQTT converter for this device.
My Questions:
- Does anyone know how to get this working? What would be the attributes/endpoints (don’t know the correct terminology here) to do it?
- Does this even really support it?
Below is the device signature for my Zemismart switch from the Zigbee2MQTT “Info” tab. I hope this provides the necessary details about the endpoints and clusters.
Auto-generated definition: (it’s a 6-gang switch, but is displayed as 2 3-gang switches.
