NOT WORKING CONSISTENTLY -- Xiaomi Cube Controller (ZHA)

@stx21 I’m also trying to get this to work just right now. The error you notice is most likely not related to the issue here. I’m seeing the same alert in other blueprints but they work fine…

The problem we both seem to have is that the trigger data is different to what is expected here. For example, this the event data I’m receiving when listening to zha_event via developer tools:

{
    "event_type": "zha_event",
    "data": {
        "device_ieee": "...",
        "unique_id": "...",
        "device_id": "....",
        "endpoint_id": 3,
        "cluster_id": 12,
        "command": "rotate_right",
        "args": {
            "relative_degrees": 18.53000259399414
        }
    },
    "origin": "LOCAL",
    "time_fired": "2020-12-17T00:12:58.525870+00:00",
    "context": {
        "id": "...",
        "parent_id": null,
        "user_id": null
    }
}

The blueprint expects to read trigger.event.data.event and trigger.event.data.args.subtype, but they are not set as you can see above.

I’m not sure where that difference comes from. Different hardware models? Different firmware? I’m not sure if the blueprint needs to be adjusted or if something with my setup is wrong…(?)

I see the same when listening to zha_event – however, in the past, I had automations setup with event and sub_event as triggers, and they worked totally fine. For example:

- id: ''
  alias: Play Favorites in Office
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - device_id: ...
    domain: zha
    platform: device
    type: device_knocked
    subtype: face_3
  condition: []
  action:
  - service: media_player.select_source
    data:
      source: Your Top Songs 2020
    entity_id: media_player.office

Ok it works for me now. Here is what needs to be changed:

   - conditions:
-    - '{{ event == "slide" }}'
-    - '{{ sub_event == "face_1" }}'
+    - condition: or
+      conditions:
+        - '{{ event == "slide" and sub_event == "face_1" }}'
+        - '{{ command == "slide" and activated_face|int == 1 }}'
     sequence: !input 'slide_face_1'

etc. using the commands “slide”, “knock”, “flip”, “shake”, “drop”, “rotate_right”, “rotate_left”.
I also noticed that the *_any events like flipped_any_face need to be moved to the bottom of the list because otherwise, events like “flipped_face_1” would never be triggered…
Note: I was unable to test the “drop” event. Not sure how to trigger this one…

@bobchadwick Can you update the blueprint, please? Or can I create a pull request for it somewhere? Not sure about the workflow yet for doing blueprints contributions…

Here’s something I didn’t know I needed! And it’s on Amazon so it should be here Saturday :sweat_smile:

My guess is that the original author might not have the latest zigpy and/or zha-device-handlers – I think the command vs. event is a result of newer zha-device-handlers quirks for the cube being applied, since they take over translating the device’s events.

Hey, do you want to ZHA-ify my blueprint on the Cube? 45+ actions Mi Magic Cube - Deconz (45+ actions!)

Hey, thanks for the suggested fixes! I haven’t had time to implement them, and I don’t have the blueprint in a repo. Hopefully I’ll find the time this weekend, otherwise it’ll have to wait until after the weekend.

Oh yeah, another thing. I’ve realized this probably isn’t the best use-case for a blueprint, since the actions are already mapped in ZHA. Seems like this is kinda duplicating the functionality you’d get by just using automations. Thoughts?

15

Well having a Blueprint available means you can share it with us and we don’t have to sift through it to replace your entity_id's with our own. It’s definitely worth having. Have a look at the deCONZ version that Andreas has made, it looks pretty awesome (but I use ZHA).

16

@bobchadwick Hi, can you please check if you are using the correct model? Mine is called lumi.sensor_cube.aqgl01 just like @AlexGreenUK

17

Hey folks, sorry I haven’t been able to get this updated (new baby). If someone else wants to give it a go and post the updated blueprint, I can update the original post.

18

Mind sharing your fully updated blueprint? Sounds like OP is a bit busy at the moment and I am having a bit of difficulty getting your suggestion to work without errors.

19

Had to edit this pretty significantly to get it to work for me. I believe I may be using a newer version of ZHA than OP.

If your ZHA event for the cube looks like mine below then my edit should work for you:

{
    "event_type": "zha_event",
    "data": {
        "device_ieee": "xxxx",
        "unique_id": "xxxx",
        "device_id": "xxxx",
        "endpoint_id": 2,
        "cluster_id": 18,
        "command": "flip",
        "args": {
            "value": 131,
            "flip_degrees": 180,
            "activated_face": 4
        }
    }

I suppose the cleanest way would be to use the args.value key but I didn’t feel like sitting there and noting them all down.

None of those blueprint work for me?
I can see the automation triggered but the action are not fired.

ZHA / Conbee 2 / Aqara Magic Cube.

The zha_event look like yours, don’t understand.
I’ve test the cube with a “normal” automation and it worked.

21

Mind sending an example zha_event?

23

Seems identical ?

24

You and I have the same issue here. My event looks exactly like yours and I’ve copied @vbflo’s blueprint, but still get nothing.

25

Do any of the actions work? I know you sent a knock example but can you try rotate since that is not face specific. See if we can try and narrow down the issue.

26

I used the “any face” option, but i’ve also tried with other action with the same result…
