Issues with Zemismart Chain Roller Shades Driver M515EGBZTN

Oliviakrk · March 13, 2021, 7:00pm

Hi,
I bought Zemismart Chain Roller Shades Driver M515EGBZTN from aliexpress:

I am trying to use it with ZHA. Device was able pair:

But that is all. I can see that it is paired, but there is no entities attached to it:

Device signature:

{
  "node_descriptor": "NodeDescriptor(byte1=2, byte2=64, mac_capability_flags=128, manufacturer_code=4098, maximum_buffer_size=82, maximum_incoming_transfer_size=82, server_mask=11264, maximum_outgoing_transfer_size=82, descriptor_capability_field=0)",
  "endpoints": {
    "1": {
      "profile_id": 260,
      "device_type": "0x0051",
      "in_clusters": [
        "0x0000",
        "0x0004",
        "0x0005",
        "0xef00"
      ],
      "out_clusters": [
        "0x000a",
        "0x0019"
      ]
    }
  },
  "manufacturer": "_TZE200_xuzcvlku",
  "model": "TS0601",
  "class": "zigpy.device.Device"
}

I grabbed some logs from the pairing process, so I can upload them somewhere (look like I unable to attach txt file to this post ).

Is there a chance to fix the support for this device in zha?

im having the same issues can’t seem to do anything with them and even having difficulting with sniffing 466 with portichse on my sonoff rf bridge

There’s a PR for a new quirk. I’ve added it and it works great with my Zemismart

Tovrin · March 23, 2021, 5:03am

My Zemismart (M515EGBZTN) Chain Roller Shades Driver only arrived today and I’m having the same problem. @Holdestmade, could you explain what a PR/Quirk is and how do I use it to get this device working? (I’m a bit of a noob with ZHA).

Holdestmade · March 23, 2021, 9:00am

They are basically device drivers. It is possible to upload new ones to your HA with Portainer, but new PRs get added with new versions of HA.

See here it explains it all:

Tovrin · March 23, 2021, 10:15am

So it’ll be possible that this will get incorporated into ZHA at some stage? I’ve been looking at the links, and afraid it’s a little beyond my expertise level.

Holdestmade · March 23, 2021, 11:25am

Yes the pr has been approved so hopefully in the next ha release.

Tovrin · March 23, 2021, 7:36pm

Awesome news. Fingers crossed!

tearabite · March 26, 2021, 11:22pm

How exactly did you even get it to pair? I can’t seem to even get it to be added even in a broken state.

Holdestmade · March 27, 2021, 8:33am

I found holding the button while powering on, then once the light is slowly flashing, quickly press the button 3 times makes it pair.

Tovrin · April 5, 2021, 3:01am

Pairing for me is not the problem (… there’s a useful youtube on it …). Getting it to DO something is another matter. I’m eagerly awaiting 2021.14 to see if it’s in there.

Tovrin · April 7, 2021, 9:09pm

Updated to 2021.14 and the cover control appears. Sadly, it doesn’t work.

Tovrin · April 9, 2021, 3:35am

Updated to 2021.14.1 and still not working. Any ideas? Is there something I’m not doing? The zigbee device signature looks like this … if that helps:

{
  "node_descriptor": "NodeDescriptor(byte1=2, byte2=64, mac_capability_flags=128, manufacturer_code=4098, maximum_buffer_size=82, maximum_incoming_transfer_size=82, server_mask=11264, maximum_outgoing_transfer_size=82, descriptor_capability_field=0, *allocate_address=True, *complex_descriptor_available=False, *is_alternate_pan_coordinator=False, *is_coordinator=False, *is_end_device=True, *is_full_function_device=False, *is_mains_powered=False, *is_receiver_on_when_idle=False, *is_router=False, *is_security_capable=False, *is_valid=True, *logical_type=<LogicalType.EndDevice: 2>, *user_descriptor_available=False)",
  "endpoints": {
    "1": {
      "profile_id": 260,
      "device_type": "0x0202",
      "in_clusters": [
        "0x0000",
        "0x0004",
        "0x0005",
        "0x0102",
        "0xef00"
      ],
      "out_clusters": [
        "0x000a",
        "0x0019"
      ]
    }
  },
  "manufacturer": "_TZE200_xuzcvlku",
  "model": "TS0601",
  "class": "zhaquirks.tuya.ts0601.TuyaMoesCover0601"
}

This is how ZHA auto-detected it. I haven’t made any changes.

aidbish · April 9, 2021, 4:07am

is there any zha events listed when pressing the buttons

Tovrin · April 9, 2021, 4:20am

Not sure. How do I check? Do you mean the buttons on the motor or in ZHA?

aidbish · April 9, 2021, 5:04am

both, do the physical button do anything like turn the motor itself
to check in ZHA,
goto developer tools
then events

scroll down a you will see, listen to events
type zha_event
then click start listening
then press the buttons on the controller and see if anything is shown

aidbish · April 9, 2021, 5:08am

this post here also mentions those blind controller now working in ZHA, Switch Zigbee TZE200 TS0601 paired but without entities - Configuration / Zigbee - Home Assistant Community (home-assistant.io)

it could be an issue with your device if not working

maybe removing the device from ZHA and then repairing?

Tovrin · April 9, 2021, 5:58am

As per the post above, the controls are appearing in zha. They are just not doing anything. I have still yet to check the zha_events as I am at work (at least for the next hour or so).

Holdestmade · April 9, 2021, 6:14am

The signature looks slightly different to the quirk, if you post an issue in the quirks GitHub page, someone might be able to help

Looking at the PR, your model is added but shown as untested. The signature is slightly different to yours:

I’d raise an issue here:

Tovrin · April 9, 2021, 7:09am

I’m unable to see the code. I’m getting a 403 forbidden.

I posted a question to the brainstrust here
