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

Often devices don’t finish an interview, usually repeating the join does it, often bringing the device closer to the co-ordinator.

Also, is the co-ordinator a good distance from the rpi via an extension usb cable?

See this Improve network range and stability | Zigbee2MQTT

The device is sitting adjacent to the co-ordinator which is on a 2m USB lead away from the rpi4. In fact now despite the red flashing lights on the remote it wont pair at all now!

I am wondering if the remote is actually faulty but still doesnt explain the repeater showing as unsupported.

OK so I have reset all of the blinds, remotes, repeaters and have proven that as a standalone until all of the IKEA devices are working and the remote controls the blind. I then started to follow the advice here It starts to try to pair and it still shows up as unsupported. The logs showed just as they did in my post above.

The Co-ordinator was sitting right next to the Ikea repeater on a 1.5m lead / distance from the raspberry pi. The repeater shows as online still on the zigbee2MQTT devices page but unsupported. Any ideas what else I can try as I am tearing my hair out.

TIA

So I don’t think you have said what co-ordinator you have, and what firmware it has.

Is this the correct info?

ID_USB_MODEL: Sonoff_Zigbee_3.0_USB_Dongle_Plus
ID_USB_MODEL_ENC: Sonoff\x20Zigbee\x203.0\x20USB\x20Dongle\x20Plus
ID_USB_MODEL_ID: ea60
ID_USB_REVISION: '0100'

There are, sadly, two different “Plus” dongles - the P and the E.

And that doesn’t tell us the firmware.

So it says on the physical unit Model: ZBDongle-P

How do I interrogate it to find the firmware?

type or paste code here

OK firmware Coordinator revision 20210708
So anyone any ideas where I am going wrong or how to pair the blind/remote and repeater?

Hi all,

With the IKEA E2201 Rodret, it has the ability to send a simulated_brightness command by holding down the on button.

How do I get the IKEA E2201 the brightness updates (action_brightness_delta) in an automation (not brightness_move_up as that is a one time event, but the action_brightness_delta commands)?

So that went easier than I thought it was going to. If anyone else needs to do this great instructions here .

However, it still hasnt resolved the problem. Pairing still fails with the blinds. Any more ideas what I can try next? / Fault find etc?

TIA

Would the fact I am running on channel 26 zigbee be a possible cause? I dont really want to try changing it unless I HAVE to as it means I have to re-pair all the devices again…

Well in theory it should work as the Ikea spec for the blind says 2400-2483.5 MHz. Channel 26 being 2480 MHz So most probably not that.
