What version of ESP-IDF is used? What version of esp-zigbee-sdk?
I’ve got a favor to ask…
My battery powered zigbee sensor I have been using for a few years to monitor my freezer decided to start dropping off line every couple of days. So I thought I’d make one using ESPHome with a DS18b20 since I’ve used them already in different places and they work great. I got some ESP32C6 boards to use since they are small and cheap but I’ve never used them elsewhere.
The problem I have with the current ESP32C6 board is that it won’t stay connected to wifi. It drops off every few hours so the connection is pretty unreliable. I don’t know if I’ve got a bad board or if it’s just in a dead spot for wifi. It was working fine for a few days on the desk but as soon as I hooked to my freezer in the basement it got flaky.
then I found out that the ESP32C6 can be programmed to be a zigbee device. Cool!
I’ve been searching for how to do that and I haven’t had much luck with a working code to flash that uses the DS18b20. I hadn’t found any ESPHome based code and the Arduino IDE based stuff I can’t seem to get working. But I’d prefer to stay with ESPHome if possible anyway.
Then I found your post here.
My favor to ask would be if you could create a binary that uses GPIO4 to connect a single sensor instead of 7 or 17? I had already wired everything up to use GPIO4 in ESPHome with wifi. I could take it apart and move the wire to pin 7 if necessary but I figured I’d ask here first.
And I don’t have an dev environment setup for it either. And TBH I’m not sure how to do it. I might be able to figure it out but if you could quickly whip one up for me that would be awesome.
TIA
You might want to try arduino again. I was able to easily get a working temp/hum/pir sensor working. I found example code at M5stack for their h2 board and at P-R-O-C-H-Y’s github. Only issue I had was getting reporting working as desired but after reordering the endpoints it now works great w/ ZHA!
