Problem children are the 18 Ikea Badring Leak Sensors I purchased a few days ago.
I initially on-boarded them all from my kitchen table. Oops. I now know to only on-board Zigbee devices from their intended final use location. Even from the kitchen table many of them were not showing battery status and were only partially configured.
I deleted them all and âresetâ the zigbee network by shutting down HA, killing power to the Zigbee Coordinator and leaving the system offline for an hour (something I read about).
Brought everything back on-line.
Onboarded the 1st Badring all good.
When on-boarding the 2nd Badring it never gets past âconfiguringâ. I go back to Zigbee Home Automation, Reload, I can see the device added but still only partially configured. Show battery status âunkownâ and when I look at the logbook for the device even though I deleted it from HA I still see log entries from before I deleted it.
I even tried the trick I read on another thread here to push the config button a few times when HA is stuck in configuring mode.
Is there a way to fully scrub a Zigbee device from HA?
Method Iâm using to add Badring. Open case, insert battery, press button 4 times. HA starts the onboarding but often does not finish. Then I go back to ZHA, Reload and I can see the device but itâs a crap shoot if it will be fully configured.
I also had the problem described with this water sensor. As I actually find the device very successful, I kept trying to integrate it into HA and was successful in the end by pressing the pairing button âquicklyâ 4 or more times in succession. I actually had to repeat this procedure several times until it finally worked.
However, I have not found another âmagic spellâ either.
I have not yet tried to delete the events completely, I think this may also have to be done in the dictionary of the ZigBee interface.
Have 10 of these Ikea Badring also, and have followed the same procedure as Skynet46:
Method Iâm using to add Badring. Open case, insert battery, press button 4 times. HA starts the onboarding but often does not finish. Then I go back to ZHA, Reload and I can see the device but itâs a crap shoot if it will be fully configured.
Sometimes pressing the button 4 more times when it times out and HA is still in configuring has worked for me, but as stated, it is a crap-shoot if it will fully work or not! Sometimes performing a repair seems to fix it, but not sure if I imagine this or not.
Out of the 10, I have 3 that I have now spent hours on trying to get to work, and they simply will not! 2 of them report battery if I let them sit, but when âwettingâ them, they do not change status for water-alarm.
Have seen other reports of newer Ikea products having issues, but cannot find any concrete workaround, or find if anyone is working on fixing the onboarding issues.
