Today i tried to pair a Sonoff TH01 (Temp/Humid) to a router. I opened the router’s device in HA and choose “Add devices via this device”. Then i pushed the pairing button on the Sonoff and wait… many minutes, but nothing was detected. I repeated this several times. I even removed the battery of the TH01 for a while to ensure it is not locked/hang.
Then i took the device up to my room where the HA with the coordinator stick is and tried the same from the coordinators device panel. It was discovered nearly immediately, like expected.
I find that pairing ZigBee devices can be tricky sometimes.
Sometimes I find it best to put the device into pairing mode before starting pairing from HA and sometime I find starting pairing on HA first works better.
I’ve had some devices that I’ve almost given up with and then the next day they pair.
When i look into the logs, i see a message about a ZBMINI which has’nt seen over 85,000 seconds. It could be that it’s mine i try to pair, but how do i know? I’ve got some others too and the number given in the start of line looks like a internal HEX address?
