Hi all As I am new to HA and all included, I am trying to understand ZHA Clusters and Attributes. Could anybody point me in the direction of a site/post explaining how it works? What I am trying to do is to set power-on attributes of a HUE bulb, but I give up when a meet expressions like “Value 0…

You shouldn’t have to set the power on any Zigbee device manually through the cluster attributes. That’s what the underlying driver handles. However, nearly all cluster commands require hexadecimal commands to be set as that’s part of the base Zigbee spec. The only time you should have to send clus…

How do you get to the driver to adjust the options of a device joined via zha?

if you go to Devices’ config page, and into the clusters, there should be a Philips_On_Off cluster with commands available: [image] TheJulianJES on discord in #zigbee is probably the most knowledgable on how this all works.

Also more info here: [image] Accessing Philips Hue Bulb/Sensor Configuration With ZHA Integration? Configuration In “Manage Clusters” of the ZHA integration device configuration, I’m able to find the mentioned clusters (0x0006, 0x0008) and the attributes ( 0x4003, 0x4000)…

@code-in-progress excellent, thank you for clarifying that - I better stay away from that then :see_no_evil::sweat_smile:

@code-in-progress , @tube0013 , @walt do any any of you have experience with Hue Bulbs and ZHA? I would like to completely shutdown my Hue Bridge and only run HA environment, but the features of remembering the last state and the double-tap on/off power for switching between 100% brightness and last …

[image] code-in-progress: The only time you should have to send cluster commands is if you have a device that is either not supported natively by the driver or doesn’t have a matching quirk specification. Remember that it isalways be best for everyone in the community if “quirks” for ZHA Devi…

If anyone else finds this post while searching for how to set Zigbee attributes: on the device page under Device info click the three dots and select “Manage zigbee device” (This was under HA Core 2023.2.3 with ZHA toolkit v0.8.29)

If anyone comes across this post in the future, I would really strongly recommend running the Hue hub for your Hue lights. Unless of course you like putting in extra effort to make your system worse. I will briefly give you the pros and cons of moving your Hue lights to HA directly. As background…

How many Hue hubs do you have with 120 Hue devices? [image] bfry: If your home assistant is down, or your zigbee coordinator is down, or ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT is down, or you are in the process of swtiching coordinators or anything like that, you can no longer use any of your lighting. The same…
