Tuya temperature sensor not provinding any values though supported by Zigbee2MQTT

cortlieb · January 8, 2023, 1:42pm

I’m using Zigbee2MQTT to run Zigbee devices.
I bought three cheap temperature / humidity sensor last year, but found out, that they are not supported.

But with the Zigbee2MQTT update to version 12.8.3 support for this sensor came.
It’s shown as (translating it from German, so the wording might not be 100% accurate in English):
Zigbee Modell: TS0601
Zigbee Manufacturer: _TZE200_9yapgbuv
Manufacturer: TuYa
Modell: WSD500A
Supportstatus: supported
The picture is also correct.

So far so good, but though I could connect the sensor it does not provide any sensor value (except link quality).
So far integrating Zigbee devices was quite smooth.
Any advice what I can do the make the sensor working?

Thanks,
Christian

With some of the other sonoff devices, it is important to keep them “alive and communicating” during the initial setup. Done by repeatly press the “pair” button with a few seconds in between. Not holding it, as it will then reset and re-pair. Might be the same.
Remember to delete/remove it from Z2M first, before re-pair

Same issue, exactly the same, i have 4 sensors that are idling mounted

@khvej8 your trick does not work with my setup i guess

anyone has an fix?

Have you tried this, from the Z2M device description, might be the same for the other entities.

Battery

If battery value is not showing in Zigbee2MQTT briefly pressing reset button AFTER device is fully paired usually resolves the issue

yes i have, nothing works

been paired for like a month and never reported anything

Same behavior here, like “TheChemicalWorkshop” described.
Tried both advice “khvej8” gave with no success.
The sensor is still providing only linkquality (I assume that value is generated by HomeAssistent and not sent by the sensor), but no other value.

I wonder if it is possible to de-install and re-install Zigbee2MQTT without losing all device settings.
Since the update, that supports (more or less) the mentioned sensor, it always shows that an update for Zigbee2MQTT is available, but with strange version information.

It’s in German but I guess you can recognize the information.
If i try to run the update nothing happens.

Not sure if this is related to the issue with the sensor (all other devices continue to work normally), but maybe it’s worth a try.
Does anybody know if information about devichen es (and related automations, dashboards etc.) is preserved if Zigbee2MQTT is de-installed?

TheChemicalWorkshop · January 12, 2023, 12:03am

my current version is : 1.29.1-1
im not sure, would even offer a bounty to fix this sensor since i got 4 of them doing nothing

let’s hope someone comes up witha fix soon

here is more info i guess?

Configuration Error with TuYa WSD500A

### What happened? I added a new TuYa WSD500A to my Zigbee2MQTT system. The t…emperature sensor was integrated correctly, but no values are received from it. In addition, this message appears in the log: `022-11-11 00:03:33Failed to configure 'Temp 00', attempt 1 (Error: Read 0xa4c13858da15ae1e/1 genBasic(["manufacturerName","zclVersion","appVersion","modelId","powerSource",65534], {"sendWhen":"immediate","timeout":10000,"disableResponse":false,"disableRecovery":false,"disableDefaultResponse":true,"direction":0,"srcEndpoint":null,"reservedBits":0,"manufacturerCode":null,"transactionSequenceNumber":null,"writeUndiv":false}) failed (no response received) at DeconzAdapter.sendZclFrameToEndpoint (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/adapter/deconz/adapter/deconzAdapter.ts:658:23) at Endpoint.sendRequest (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/controller/model/endpoint.ts:299:20) at Endpoint.read (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman/src/controller/model/endpoint.ts:472:28) at Object.configure (/app/node_modules/zigbee-herdsman-converters/devices/tuya.js:1613:13) at Configure.configure (/app/lib/extension/configure.ts:115:13) at Configure.onMQTTMessage (/app/lib/extension/configure.ts:55:21))` `Info 2022-11-11 00:03:33MQTT publish: topic 'zigbee2mqtt/bridge/response/device/configure', payload '{"data":{"id":"Temp 00"},"error":"Failed to configure (Read 0xa4c13858da15ae1e/1 genBasic([\"manufacturerName\",\"zclVersion\",\"appVersion\",\"modelId\",\"powerSource\",65534], {\"sendWhen\":\"immediate\",\"timeout\":10000,\"disableResponse\":false,\"disableRecovery\":false,\"disableDefaultResponse\":true,\"direction\":0,\"srcEndpoint\":null,\"reservedBits\":0,\"manufacturerCode\":null,\"transactionSequenceNumber\":null,\"writeUndiv\":false}) failed (no response received))","status":"error","transaction":"u1jwq-5"}'` ### What did you expect to happen? I expect the sensor to transmit the temperature to Zigbee2MQTT correctly. This is officially supported. ### How to reproduce it (minimal and precise) I deleted the sensor and re-taught it with the same result. Also, I get the same result with a second same sensor. ### Zigbee2MQTT version 1.28.2 ### Adapter firmware version 0x26720700 ### Adapter ConBee2 ### Debug log _No response_

Since HA version 2023.1.x and Zigbee2MQTT version 1.29.1-x there are various problems/bugs with Zigbee2MQTT Addon. Koenkk knows that (this is a Zigbee2MQTT issue.) and he’s working on it.

@cortlieb
This problem come with version 1.29.1-1 and i have the same problem with a Develco MOSZB-140 BWM_Zigbee2MQTT_Fehler

The other known problem since HA 2023.1.x is:
<class ‘homeassistant.components.mqtt.sensor.MqttSensor’>) is using native unit of measurement ‘’ which is not a valid unit for the device class …
