Silvercrest / Lidl Smarthome

I use ZHA with a Sonoff ZBBridge. Bought the christmas lights, but not working yet.
Found this:
https://github.com/dresden-elektronik/deconz-rest-plugin/issues/3716
But have no clue how to put this to work in HA / ZHA. Maybe someone can help me in the right direction?

I can try that. How do I know if itā€™s detected in the deCONZ app? Does it just show up when I reset the sensor? I still havenā€™t figured out how that app works.

Only the lights and the power plug work with Hue.

There are cases where devices donā€™t appear in Phoscon but show up in the deConz network map (search Reddit for good examples and some solutions) To check if your device is showing up in deConz first open up the deConz app instead of Phoscon. You will see your network map in VNC. You should recognise all your connected end devices and the routers they are connected to. Your new sensor may already be there. If not you can try pairing it again through Phoscon and come back to deConz to see if it has appeared. You can also pair directly through the deConz app using the ā€œPermit Joinā€ function under the deConz Edit menu - however there is a warning to pair sensors through the web app. Iā€™m not sure what app that warning is referring to.

Thanks, this made me pair all devices.
Not using Tuya Integration anymore, migrated to Conbee II / ZHA now. Much better!

Hi Leonardo,
Sadly i cannot help you with the extension, but do have a question. When turning on the lights, do they directly start in the right brightness, or do they start a little bit brighter and dim to the desired level?

That is the behaviour i see and i think it is annoying.

Regarding the Christmas lights, I got them to work with a Hue Bridge. I have not tested them with with another bridge, but with the Conbee II I could not change the color.
It took me some time to figure out how to set the color of the LEDs, but you need to change both the color (e.g. by changing xy_color) as well as the brightness.
For example, the following combination gives a red light:

xy_color:
  - 0.8
  - 0.35
brightness_pct: 15

and this gives green:

xy_color:
  - 0.14
  - 1
brightness_pct: 20

I cannot access the predefined scene, but with a script like this, I get a nice color loop:

repeat:
  while:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: input_boolean.kerstlampjes_loop
      state: 'on'
  sequence:
    - service: light.turn_on
      data:
        brightness_pct: '{{ (range(10, 100)|random|int) }}'
        xy_color:
          - '{{ (range(10, 90)|random|int)/100 }}'
          - '{{ (range(10, 90)|random|int)/100 }}'
      entity_id: light.kerstlampjes
    - delay: '0.5'

Hope this helps anyone. :slight_smile:

Has anyone managed to pair the remote included with the Lidl starter kit using zha? I think I managed to pair it, but it only sees it as an entity that reports a battery status, nothing else. It paired as sensor.tyzb01_bngwdjsr_ts1001_power, but I donā€™t see an entity that I could use to get the button presses or anything.

Pairing via ZHA was not a problem, but it does not work

The last update of z2m support the Lidl devices of the box.

All or just some?

All. They are listed as Silvercrest.

I was looking forward to support of the smart extension cord https://www.lidl-shop.cz/SILVERCREST-Zigbee-3-0-Smart-Home-Prodluzovaci-kabel-s-USB/p100306996 which should be supported in z2m v 1.16.2.2 https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/devices/HG06338.html , it pairs, but it does not get recognised.

Z2M reports

WARNING: Device '0xbc33acfffe57b9df' with Zigbee model 'TS011F' and manufacturer name '_TZ3000_vzopcetz' is NOT supported, please follow

can someone pls point me in the right direction of what might be wrong? I am pretty new to HA and absolute noob in z2m part of it.

Do I need to tell it somehow that model HG06338 == TS011F?

Thanks, thatā€™s why we couldnā€™t find him.

Nice developments. The Christmas lights are only interesting when these cool scenes are supported of course.

Do the power plugs, report on actual power and consumption? Same question for the powerstrip?

I think Iā€™ve figured it out, PR created

FYI, looks like main ZHA development discussion about those Xmas light can currently be found here:

Suggest that you join the discussion there if you want to help (especially as most do not have this HW)
