Intro:
Hi, I just finished off setting up my first Zigbee setup using a Sonoff dongle P, which saw me migrate from Hyper-V to VMware after battling USB passthrough for half a day.
I ended up using Zigbee2Mqtt which is working pretty well (currently controlling 2 lights, 2 light switches and a motion sensor that controls the water valve to spray neighbouring cats entering our garden. I had to implement that latter as our cat which is indoors over night goes absolute banshee mode at 3am seeing other cats his garden.
Problem:
My Stybar remote controls the dining room light bulb but somehow also switches the water valve for no obvious reason. There is no binding or group that links the remote to the water valve, that I can see.
Remote/Switch:
Bindings:
Group:
Dining light:
Water Valve
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Edit: Just thought of something that might be relevant but I still don't know how to go forward. When i first connected the stybar remote to Z2M, I couldn't get colour change on the bulb to work (and still can't but it seems to be a genuine limitation). I updated the firmware and then unbound the clusters to the remote. This is then I first had issues with the water valve reacting to the remote, even though the light bulb didn't. I tried to remove the remote from Z2M completely but couldn't despite multiple attempts and frantically clicking to the remote to keep it alive.
I ultimately selected "force remove" which removed the remote and allowed me to reconnect it properly. I could then bind it to the light bulb again.
Could it be that the network still somehow has a connection between the remote and the valve? If so how could I break that? I've removed and reconnected the valve already without success.
