Just rebooted my NUC and my lights wont work anymore with Zigbee2Mqtt.

I am using the Latest docker image and commit #52c51b6.

@cmille34 I use the discovery feature and find it works well (no need to manually add sensors to HA yaml files, but note that devices wonā€™t automatically appear in sensors.yaml - you can see them in the states page in HA)

You only use retain: true in zigbee2mqttā€™s configuration.yaml within each device. This will remember any sensor states during a HA reboot.

e.g. zigbee2mqtt configuration.yaml:

homeassistant: true
permit_join: true
mqtt:
  base_topic: zigbee2mqtt
  server: 'mqtt://192.168.1.50'
  user: homeassistant
  password: removed
serial:
  port: /dev/ttyACM0
devices:
  '0x00158d0001b149eb':
    friendly_name: window_ensuite_velux
    retain: true

home assistant configuration.yaml:

mqtt:
  discovery: true
  birth_message:
    topic: 'hass/status'
    payload: 'online'
  will_message:
    topic: 'hass/status'
    payload: 'offline'
286

@cameron use the reset button on the stick and reboot your system. Iā€™d also avoid using ā€œpermit_joinā€ default to ā€œtrueā€, better use the button and timer to allow joining from the interface.

287

You can add retain: true on the zigbee2mqtt configuration.yaml.
on Hassio is under \IP\share\zigbee2mqtt\configuration.yaml (On other systems you have to find it). Thereā€™s already an entry for retain: false in each sensor so you just have to change it to true.
Be carefull with this file as if it gets corrupted you wont be able to restart the addon. Before editing copy both configuration.yaml and database.db to another location so you can replace in case of need.

288

Like kimon_m explained there was an issue with an old version that would cause your addon to crash.
As thereā€™s no versioning for the moment you can just uninstall and reinstall de addon just to be sure. Anytime thereā€™s a change in zigbee2mqtt the addon is recreated every 30m I believe, but thereā€™s no warning regarding updates.

As far as your question, Iā€™m also using a CC2531 as router and I felt that sometimes some sensors took some time to update (xiaomi DHTs) but I couldnā€™t pinpoint the exact issue.
I also add a few IKEA bulbs to the mix that also act as router and I think itā€™s better now.

289

Thanks for the reply. @ciotlosm

When you say reset button on the stick which one I have two buttons on my stick .CC2531

And not sure what you mean by use the button and timer to add new devices.

290

Thanks for the reply. Iā€™m experiencing the same as you in that the devices take a while to update, but the router seems to be working well.

I added some xiaomi motion sensors and they didnā€™t seem to push battery levels for over 6 hours but finally appeared overnight, weird behaviour.

291

Hi,

Thank you developers for giving such a great alternative to other more expensive options.

Is it possible to implement tagged versioning on docker containers?
I am using that on all my containers so in case something doesnā€™t work as intended I can easily switch back.

292

Yes, this will be done when version 0.1 launches (which is soon).

Using this can I have my Xiaomi and hue devices on the same zigbee network so that the hue bulbs extend the range ?

295

Yes you can

296

Still having problems with this when i switch on a light using HA it does not work and the Zigbee2mqtt terminal says

2018-7-1 13:15:01 INFO Zigbee publish to '0x000b57fffeaff3ec', genOnOff - on - {} - null

This is the Startup of Zigbee2mqtt.

Maybe something changed in dependencies on last update. Best to raise an issue here: https://github.com/Koenkk/zigbee2mqtt/issues

299

@ChrisR615 maximum call stack size exceeded is usually when you donā€™t have the right firmware. Please flash the latest (it shows updated 10 days ago) from stable.

300

Reflashed. Same result.

301

Whatā€™s the advantage of this vs just buying a elelabs zigbee usb stick or shield?

Thanks!!emphasized text

302

How many devices do you have?

303

@kiwijunglist see: https://www.reddit.com/r/homeassistant/comments/8qq4h4/hassio_addon_zigbee2mqtt_hassio/e0m5mxb/

Thanks.

I donā€™t see Yale locks listed. Will this support zigbee Yale locks?
