HI all,
I thought it was a good idea to upgrade almost all my ikea switches (IKEA E1743 control via MQTT | Zigbee2MQTT). I knew this firmware doens’t bind to group anymore but now to bulb but that was no issue but unfortunatly it does.
I have all my switches bound to the corresponding bulb but now my automations won’t work based on the CLICK/ACTION of my button.
How can i solve this issue ?
I want to be able to controll my lights, even when the coordinator is down. that worked before the upgrade…
You mean binding to a group, well not really because as Koekk mentioned itself
Binding
The binding functionallity of this remote varies per firmware version:
below 2.3.75: suppports binding to groups only. It can only be bound to 1 group at a time. By default this remote is bound to the default bind group which you first have to unbind it from. This can be done by sending to zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/device/unbind payload {"from": "DEVICE_FRIENDLY_NAME", "to": "default_bind_group"}. Wake up the device right before sending the commands by pressing a button on it.
2.3.075 and greater: supports binding to devices only
After the upgrade I removed the group (was not working anymore) added the lightbulbs and now in my zigbee2mqtt logs I don’t see the action anymore, even with having an bind to the coordinator.
Are you proposing to completly remove them and bind them again to my network ?
Yes, its fixed.
The problem was as I said that the coordinator is not seeing the on/off action but that is because that checbox was not selected.
I had re-paired one of the other switches and then I saw that also that checkbox was enabled.
I checked on/off to another switch and now my coordinator is seeing my on/off action!..
