Hi all,
I have a Yale Doorman V2N with the EVA Zigbee module and I’m trying to get it working locally with Zigbee2MQTT (and Home Assistant). I want to avoid using the cloud for my lock.
Here’s everything I’ve tried so far:
Pairing and Interview
The module pairs with Zigbee2MQTT and the interview completes successfully.
However, only linkquality is exposed—no lock, battery, PIN code, or other features.
The device does not report a modelID or manufacturerName in the logs during or after interview.
The logs just show:
Interviewing ‘0x680ae2fffe6baac8’
Successfully interviewed ‘0x680ae2fffe6baac8’
and then only linkquality is available in the state.
Custom Converter Attempts
I created a custom converter (yale_doorman.js) and tried:
Matching by IEEE address (fingerprint: [{ieeeAddr: ‘0x680ae2fffe6baac8’}])
Using a generic fingerprint (by type, endpoint, clusters)
Removing the fingerprint entirely (so the converter would match any device)
I included all relevant fromZigbee/toZigbee converters and exposes (lock, battery, pin code, etc.).
No matter what, only linkquality is exposed.
Other Troubleshooting
I tried waking up the lock (physically interacting with it) before and after pairing.
I tried re-pairing multiple times and restarting Zigbee2MQTT.
I checked the logs for any mention of modelID, manufacturerName, or clusters—nothing is reported.
I tried pairing with ZHA (Home Assistant’s Zigbee integration), but the result was the same: the lock is either not recognized or only exposes linkquality.
I checked for firmware updates for the lock/module—none available.
I found that the module works with the Futurehome hub (as described here), but I do not want to buy a new hub just for this.
What I See Under Exposes (Zigbee2MQTT)
Battery: Remaining battery in % (N/A%)
State: State of the lock
Lock state: Actual state of the lock (N/A)
Pin code: User, User type, User enabled, PIN code
Action source name: Source of the triggered action on the lock (N/A)
Action user: ID of user that triggered the action on the lock (N/A)
Auto relock time: The number of seconds to wait after unlocking a lock before it automatically locks again. 0=disabled
Sound volume: Sound volume of the lock
Action: Triggered action (e.g. a button click) (N/A)
Linkquality: Link quality (signal strength) (e.g. 102lqi)
Willing to Provide a Zigbee Sniffer Log
I am willing to buy a CC2531 USB stick and provide a Zigbee sniffer log if that would help with debugging or adding support.
Please let me know if you need a specific capture (e.g., during pairing/interview) and I will follow your instructions.
What I’m Looking For
Is there any way to get more debug information or a fingerprint for this device?
Would using a Zigbee sniffer help, or is there a way to enable more verbose logging in Zigbee2MQTT to capture the device’s clusters or attributes?
Has anyone managed to get this module working with Zigbee2MQTT or ZHA, or is there a custom handler/converter available?
Any advice or next steps would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your help!
