Zigbee2mqtt: getting rid of your proprietary Zigbee bridges (Xiaomi, Hue, TRADFRI)

If (openhab use mqtt? ) ==> yes

As far as I interpret the code correctly it is as you wrote.

I think since all of my sensors are showing well above 3000 voltage, I will set the maximum to the sensor with the highest voltage which is 3075. Therefore for my battery sensor template I will use:

{{ ((value_json.voltage - 2700)/(3075-2700) * 100) | int }}

If anyone thinks this is a bad idea, please let me know.

Did you ever figure out how to pair the Aqara WXKG02LM double switch? I’ve been able to pair everything else but this one keeps failing for me.

Your battery health figures will then be slightly off in comparison with others, no problem of course.

But around 100% is not very interesting IMO. I’m more interested when the battery comes near 2.80 -2.70 Volt range. Then I know the battery comes to end of life with a steep fall off and probably I have around 10% left and need to change the battery!

For example Xiaomi gives a life expectancy of two years for their sensors (with CR2032 batteries), so there will still be weeks left to change the battery before they stop working (I suppose because I haven’t any clue at what voltage level they stop working).
My oldest Xiaomi / Aqara sensors are about a year old and still pretty healthy.

Anyone here that knows how to flash with a Mac? the GitHub instructions aren’t really doing it for me

diplix · September 26, 2018, 1:19pm

i did the flashing on a macbook pro and the github instructions worked fine for me.

maxdaniel · September 26, 2018, 1:30pm

I think pkg-config was installed wrong or not at all, trying again now

diplix · September 26, 2018, 1:56pm

this is what i found in my .bash_history

brew install libusb
brew install boost
brew install pkgconfig
cd
git clone https://github.com/dashesy/cc-tool.git
cd cc-tool
./configure
make
./cc-tool

Hey all, is there a wiki page which explains how to create battery sensors for the various devices? I have added a few based on searching through this page but Im not sure exactly what is the code I need. I have added a few but Im waiting to check if they get a value at some point before adding the rest.

This is what I’ve done for the temp sensors:

- platform: mqtt
  name: “Battery Kitchen Temp Sensor”
  state_topic: “zigbee2mqtt/0x00158d000227b801”
  unit_of_measurement: ‘%’
  value_template: “{{ value_json.battery }}”

So far the values aren’t reporting but I think its a matter of waiting. Do I need something different for the motion sensors / door sensors?

Thanks!

Ok turns out I was being stupid. The tap event DOES in deed work. I was simple tapping the top of the cube expecting that to register but after watching a review video on YouTube I understand that to trigger the tap you have to physically lift the cube and tap the it on a surface TWICE.

The downside of receiving instructions in Chinese .

Thanks again.

The door sensors and motion sensors will report immediately if you trigger them.

@Koenkk

Hi, couldn’t work out how to add a pull request to zigbee-shepherd-converters so have posted the code to add Osram SMART+ Spot GU10 Multicolor bulbs in the issues instead, hopefully you can use it like that.

They’re just the same as the other Osram RGBW bulbs you already have bar the change of ID, name etc, so hopefully an easy add.

Koenkk · September 28, 2018, 9:49am

thanks, will merge it!

maxdaniel · September 28, 2018, 1:35pm

I connected a Xiaomi double wireless wall switch and it works great but does anyone know if it’s supposed to display the battery automatically as an attribute or do I need to configure a template battery sensor myself?

Norik_Krasniqi · September 29, 2018, 1:46pm

EDIT:

I got this solved. I didn’t know this one had a button.

Guys,

I’ve got a Xiaomi Aqara water leak sensor but I can’t figure out a way how to connect that.

I followed this step from https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/wiki/Pairing-devices but still it does not show up.

Most Aqara devices: press and hold reset button on the device for ± 5 seconds (until the blue light starts blinking), release and wait.

Below is the status of zigbee2mqtt on my rpi3.

Just received my water sensor today. If you look at pics on the chinese instruction booklet, you will see a pic of squeezing the center of the sensor. this is a waterproof sensor with no visible pairing button that I can see. I put the bridge in pairing mode and then squeezed the sensor for a few seconds, it paired for me:

For future reference, if you go to their English site there are usually English versions of the instructions for download.

Bobby_Nobble · September 30, 2018, 1:10pm

Working perfectly, thanks, much appreciated.
