Silvercrest (Lidl) smart plugs can't be found using zha

Hello, I have bought some of Lidl’s smart plugs but when I tried to pair them using zha it couldn’t find them. I have the UK version of the plug and I’m using a CC2351, I have paired a Xiaomi light switch in the past and it was flawless but this smart plug isn’t working. Please help!

Strange, as I could connect this same smart-plug without any issue last week. Could you try again closer to your zigbee receiver?

I used a USB extender, let me try moving the plug closer instead of the dongle

tried it, didn’t work.

Not all revisions/versions have the same firmware even if product look the same, so post request to:

https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues

The “quirk” in ZHA Device Handlers (a.k.a. zha-quirks) probably need to be modified to add new model:

If there is not already an existing request for it then submit a new “Device support request” for it here:

https://github.com/zigpy/zha-device-handlers/issues

Be sure to fill provide all the information requested as well as additional info or links about the device.

Be sure to upgrade firmware and understand CC235x hardware is obsolete so consider buying newer.
