This seems perhaps different than my issue as my devices seem to still stay connected - although I’ve been having a few devices drop off the network (end devices) but no issue re-pairing.
How long was evrythingrunning fine for before this happened?
Did all the devices stop sending events at once, and if so, did you upgrade around then?
What happens if you power cycle the Sonoff (I think these are wifi arent they?)
Mine seem to be paired as well. But I get no zha_event output
I set everything up and it worked ok. After that I left home and updated a few things incl. HA Core while away
Some devices still work. I have 4 switches that work decent. Meaning they work, but I sometimes detect that I press a few times and nothing outputs on zha_event. The rest of the devices don’t send anything as events and throw the error I mentioned when pressing the buttons and checking the logs in the ZHA configuration.
Same thing. Meaning nothing changes.
Like I said, some devices work ok, incl the light bulbs. I only have problems with ~ half of the devices that communicate via events. Other half works ok
I would like to emphasize that the devices that don’t send events are seen in the logs of ZHA configuration while pressing the buttons. But it throws errors like this Ignoring message (b'013501') on cluster 6: unknown endpoint or cluster id: 1
I am curious what you get in the logs when pressing buttons on the devices that don’t send events
Also, it might be helpful for you to add Zigzag and/or ZHA Map to your HA so you can see where the links are, just in case it shows a mesh problem perhaps?
I just installed ZHA_MAP and it is messy. I have a few questions. Maybe you have time to answer if you have any experience with the map and zigbee in general.
Any idea how I can change the linkage? For example Led Color Bulb Remote Control (red icon on the right) to be directly connected to Lab Bulb RGB (yellow icon on the left next to the blue one)?
Any idea how I can change the name of the devices? For example for the yellow icon down below called Ikea of Sweden TRADFRI bulb E27 CWS opal 600lm, I actually changed the entity name to Livingroom Color Bulb in Configuration → Entities. But I have no clue how to change the Device name so it could also be reflected here.
I read here that line color represent different LQIs. I thought that meant something physical, but when I moved the icons around, the color of the lines changed as well. What gives?
Any path with a LQI over 192 is shown as green, LQI 129-192 is shown as yellow, and anything 128 and lower is shown as red.
Most of the connected devices like the Remote Controls to the right do not work. Meaning they do not send anything in zha_event. And thus we get back to the main theme of this post. So any solutions here are appreciated as well.
You can’t. Zigbee searches it’s own mesh. The best you can do is repair close to the desired router (bulb in this case), but normal Zigbee devices can reroute dynamically. Aqara devices are the big exception : they tend to stick to the device they were originally paired with.
I paired all my devices with the Sonoff ZB Bridge. Maybe I should have paired a remote control with the Light Bulb I wanted to use it with? To start on the right foot?
No, I think generally linkage is based on strongest signal. There is new options in ZHA however that say “Link devices to this device” or similar…
Try the Customize menu perhaps
Hmm … my lines done change colour. I wouldn’t worry too much - I think it is a snapshot at the time (try ZHA list for more details)
I have heard that too many devices connected to the Coordinator can cause problems. Otherwise, everything looks ok. If something is not connected via line such as a temp sensor, it can be that it’s just asleep (in my experience anyway).
