ZHA and Remote Remote Homeassistant

[herbert1910 (Herbert)]

Hi,

i have a pi in our living room as Remote Homeassisant Instance for ZWAVE. Now i have add a ZIGBEE (Conbee II) Stick to use ZHA. My Bulbs are send to my Main Homeassistant. Al working fine. Now i have a new IKEA Remote Control. This Deivce is found on the Remote HA, but only the Battery Sensor is exposed to the Main HA. I can’t setup automations for the Remote Control in my Main HA.

Is there a way to create Automations on the Main HA wir the Remote Control on the Remote HA?

Thx.
Herbert.

I think there is a blueprint for it → Blueprints Exchange - Home Assistant Community

ZHA - IKEA TRADFRI - 5 Button Remote - Custom Actions

Check out this blueprint to simulate the IKEA TRADFRI Remote (5 button version) through ZHA events with your own custom actions.

Thx.

Yes. THis is on the Remote Homeassistant (PI where my ZIGBEE Stick is connected). But i want create the Automation on the Main Homeassistance Instance. Here i can’t see the IKEA Remote Control.

Haven’t use Remote Home Assistant for a long time, I use deconz for ZigBee on the remote Pi.

Can events be sent over from the remote pi via remote home assistant? I think there are also other solutions like sending events over MQTT, but I can’t find the topics right now.
@koying I think you created something recently in this regard?

I can use Zigbee2Mqtt - but is this recommendable?

Is this better the ZHA. When i use Zigbee2Mqtt - are there all Devices an Settings in HA od must i configure this in Zibgee2Mqtt?

Indeed:

MQTT DiscoveryStream integration

This is an “extension” (and compatible replacement) of the builtin mqtt_statestream integration. Besides the functionalities of the here-above, it also allows to publish and handles an MQTT “disvovery” setup. This is specifically useful in “Master-Slave” HA scenarios. A “slave”, by instance a specific HA instance handling zigbee and / or Bluetooth, would use this component to publish states and discovery via MQTT. A “master” would use the built-in MQTT discovery mechanism to subscribe to sta…

It doesn’t handle events, though, only states

okay. Thanks.

I will try to connect the Conbee Stick to the Main HA. But i think the Range is not high enough for the devices.
Otherwise i will try Zigbee2Mqtt.

Thx.

I found it now, it’s called mqtt eventstrem

MQTT Eventstream

This allows you to forward events from the remote instance to the main instance via MQTT.

And I also saw in the documentation of Remote Home Assistant that you can subscribe to events as well with subscribe_events → GitHub - custom-components/remote_homeassistant: Links multiple home-assistant instances together, I don’t know if this option is available in the UI config or only through yaml.

Can’t comment on zigbee2mqtt, because I use deconz and I’m more than happy with it for oveer 5 years now.

Thanks for the Info.

Do you use deconz in Docker ?

[Burningstone]

Yes, I use it in docker.
I don’t run Home Assistant on the remote Pi, because I think it’s overkill just to get ZigBee and Z-Wave data to HA. I run deconz for ZigBee and used to run ZWaveJS2MQTT for Z-Wave, but I ditched all my Z-Wave devices for ZigBee devices recently.
