Sonoff ZigBee Bridge with motion sensor lacks

Configuration
1

Hi

I’m using HA in Raspberry Pi 3B+ which is connected to my router on cable.

I just bought Sonoff ZigBee Bridge which is produced by Itead I guess. It’s connected to my network over wifi.

I also purchased Sonoff Motion Sensor (SNZB-03)

I paired sensors over eWelink app and after I refresh the sync on eWelink Smart Home in HA, I got all the sensors on HA.

I created a basic automation which trigger lights when the motion sensor got the motion.

And the problem is started here because when the motion sensor got the motion, it doesn’t trigger HA. If I go to eWelink Smart Home section in HA and click the sync icon on top right corner, I’m getting the latest states of motion sensors but if I don’t click sync again, those states are staying on the last position that I click the sync before.

I read some topics here and also on reddit which some of users are updated firmware to Tasmota to use it with ZBH (ZihBee Home integration) but hence I’m a newbie on HA I couldn’t be sure that I have to do it for resolving this issue.

Is there a way to resolve this lag without firmware change?

Give this a try: https://github.com/AlexxIT/SonoffLAN

It still will be cloud dependent, but at least, you don’t need to flash the device to make it work

Hello @anon63427907 thanks for fast response.

I’m already using it where my configuration yaml is like this:

sonoff:
  mode: local
  username: [email protected]
  password: xxxxx

hence it doesn’t resolve my issue. I’m not sure that motion sensor comes from this integration or official eWeLink integration because both of them are installed in HA.

How can I detect that the entity is coming from official integration or from this custom integration?

inside integrations page, you can click on devices next to specific integration and see the devices coming from that integration.

I suggest you to disable one and try another one, one at a time.
with this image, you can see integration names.

I just uninstalled official ewelink integration and try to recover my all devices.

And I just made my config file like this:

sonoff:
  username: [email protected]
  password: mypassword
  mode: local
  reload: always

And after restart the core, I can only access my sonoff wall switch which is directly connected to WiFi

But I can’t access SonOff ZigBee Bridhe and also other motion and temperature sensors.

is this sonoff LAN integration should get all the deviced that paired with my sonoff account or I have to add them manually

I just removed mode and reload properties and it works like a charm :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you soooo much @anon63427907
