Question: Overwrite MACCapabilityFlags

[AlexW75]

Hello,

I have a question, is it possible to over write the MACCapabilityFlags with a device spezific quirk?
If yes, is there some example availabe?

Greetings & Thanks

Best is if you post/ask such question as a new issue(s) to the zha-device-handlers repository on GitHub:

Issues · zigpy/zha-device-handlers

ZHA Device Handlers repository is otherwise primarly used for quirks bugs and feature requests, see:

Zigbee Guide: How-to setup local custom device handler quirks in ZHA integration

If your new Zigbee device is not showing all expected entities (attributes) in the ZHA integration even after re-pairing it then chances are it will need custom ZHA Device Handlers (also known as “zha-quirk”) for that specific device, but even if someone has already written a such custom it can take a sometimes long time before that specific quirk is merged into the mainline ZHA Device Handlers (“zha-quirks”) repository for automatic inclusion in Home Assistant releases, so until then you will n…

PS: Also be aware ZHA developers are working on a new ZHA-Quirks V2 architectural:

ZHA Device Handlers version 2 (ZHA-Quirks V2) architectural design developer discussion

FYI, just want to raise awareness to any ZHA Device Handler (a.k.a. quirk) developers here that you might be interested in following this architectural proposal and developers discussion about changing how to decouple entities exposed in Home Assistant’s built-in Zigbee Home Automation (ZHA) integration from underlying zigpy devices, clusters, and endpoints to make it easier to develop ZHA Device Handlers (a.k.a. quirks). So if interested please see: Summary; the discussion includes a new API…

Thank you very much.

I delved into the Custom Quirks of ZHA and wrote my own custom quirk.

This line of code in my Quirk solves the problem.

self.node_desc.mac_capability_flags &= ~0b00000100  # Clear the mains powered bit

@AlexW75 Nice but please submit the new quirk code as either a pull request or issue (device request) to the ZHA Device Handlers repository on GitHub → GitHub - zigpy/zha-device-handlers: ZHA device handlers bridge the functionality gap created when manufacturers deviate from the ZCL specification, handling deviations and exceptions by parsing custom messages to and from Zigbee devices.
