Tube's ZB Coordinators and Routers (was Zigbee router on steroids?)

I ship to the EU as well. There is a waiting list form linked from the store home page. Waits on there for PoE currently is likely about a week.

Ok I allready applied one yesterday.

Thanks

I signed up to the waiting list for the usb coordinator. Any idea how long roughly it would be roughly for these to be ready to go? Hopefully you can see me on the list (I put any colour housing, email begins with James.t….……@outlook.com). Also, is payment by PayPal? Thanks

I send out checkout links when it’s your turn. Payment it through Square - any credit/debit card I believe. If PayPal is a must we can work something out.

As far as timing I need to look at the list, have been busy today and haven’t looked recently. But I can probably send this sooner than later as I have some made but the folks who signed up on the list have not bought them yet. (Well over 24 hours stayed I’d hold them once checkout link is sent)

Its here!

So whats the best way to do this? Unplug the sonoff Zigbee coordinator. Add the Tubeszb as per the instuctions then readd all zigbee devices? Will they just come though as they were? :slight_smile: or would it be better to remove all the current ones and start again? :frowning:

What software are you currently using and which are you going to use.

I read that with zigbee2mqtt 1.21 there is no need to re-add, but you should look into it here Zigbee2mqtt: getting rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges (Xiaomi, Hue, TRADFRI) - #2037 by KCYeoh

HAHA, SORRY, I thought I added that ZHA

Actually when I read back in this thread you were originally favouring ZHA. Can I interest you in a z2m setup?

I dont mind either way. But whats the difference/ why is it better? I thought MQTT wasnt as secure (though my experence of Tasmota) Why would it not be better to use the intergrated Zigbee?

Just to be clear, Im honestly asking. Happy to be pointed to other posts, Im surre this has been covered somewhere :slight_smile:

Mainly that it is so easy to add new devices and the development is very active.

I don’t know what you mean about mqtt security, but you can run it over ssl.

Cool! Thanks :slight_smile:

Well that was an absolute disaster LOL

I ended up having to delete and re-add from scratch all ZB devices. Took a while, but all working now.

Just know that if you’re migrating to a new co-ordinator using ZHA, remove all your devices first, then remove the ZHA intergration. Then add the tubeszb coordinator, once its up and connected, re-pair all your devices.

Also for those with the Ikea buton issue, seems like the battery drain has stopped with this coordinator (still early days though)

Did I say z2m? LOL

HAHA, you did… treat it as a cautionary tale for those thinking of using ZHA.

Hi guys, is that any router firmware with tx at 20dBm?

untested by me, but the user in the issue who uses it is using one of my routers.

you need a USB Serial converter to flash the router FW

Alright, thanks for the info.

Hi there, when setting up a CC2652p2 following your GitHub instructions adding to HA using ZHA (Radio type ZNP) I get two coordinators……silicone Labs & Zigbee Coordinator…….is this correct and which one shall I use, and what do I do with the one I’m not to use (disable)? Thanks for any help.

for the CC2652, you’d pic ZNP. did you you have an existing network/ zigbee.db in your config folder? this could cause seeing 2 coordinators I believe.

Thank for reply. Yes I did have a zigbee.db….just deleted it all and ZHA and just doing a restart……fingers crossed.
