So after reflashing the cc2531 stick, my zigbee network if back running
This seams to br a common issue, as the reflash is what is suggested in places :confused:

I heard it before. Never had this issue myself ( but I donā€™t use a CC2531 anymore, switched to a CC2530 connected to an ESP01)

I hope some of you can help me.
Yesterday i upgraded HA to version 0.109.2 and everything is still working fine, but i have to restart the Zigbee2mqtt plug-in to get my sensors working. When i reboot HA, i donā€™t get any sensor updates.
I checked the log but cannot find anything special. Maybe itā€™s worth to update the Plugin, but i am wondering how i can fix this.
Currently i am running 1.5.1 ( i know, very old ) , with the following firmware : 20190425. My questions:
Can i upgrade from 1.5.1 to the current version without updating the firmware , and if so, will it work or do i have to do some additional configuration on the Zigbee2mqtt plugin ? And will this in the end fix my issue with the manual start of the plugin to get the Xiaomi sensorā€™s updating again ? I know, a lot of questions, sorry for that!

I think you can just update without changing the firmware. But please read this warning since you come from 1.5.1

Iā€™m not sure but I thought that when I updated from there, the new Z2M plugin needed a network key and since I did not have that, I needed to repair (not sure the missing network key was the cause). Read the warnings I mentioned before.

Hope you have enough information. I would just update and if there are problems I think you only have to repair the sensors.

Thanks! I only had to add : availability_blacklist: to the configuration of Zigbee2mqtt. After that it worked!

Can anyone tell me if itā€™s possible to get effects on Ikea Tradfri bulbs?
I have a few of the RGB ones connected to home assistant via Zigbee2MQTT and donā€™t see any effects listed in the controls for the bulb.

I kind of expected to see disco mode, Halloweenā€¦ etc but iā€™m only seeing simple bulb brightness/colour controls.

Hi @TriStone,
I see in one of your posts you have an external antenna attached to a CC1352P-2. I had assumed that you could simply attach the antenna to use it but you mentioned you had to resolder a capacitor to do this. Could you elaborate a bit more about that please? I am looking at getting into Zigbee stuff and the CC1352P seems to be the way to go to get support for the sub-G bands that Zigbee 3 devices might use in the future.

Hi @EmnaX

You can check at Z2M forum for this, especially this link:

Unfortunatelly it really seems that you have to resolder the capacitor to switch the path of the signal, no other way.
But to be honest the improvement compared to built-in antena is not so big as I hoped. It is measurable in link quality provided by Z2M (10-20 points) but it is not a game changer.

Hi, is anyone having issues with the temperature sensors? Mine stopped working properly few days ago, they are not refreshing like before. I made a post asking for help but maybe here I can find more people with the same issue. I am using xiaomi aqara squared ones.

Hi! Thank you for the info, how did you force removed the sensors? I am trying to remove them from the devices menu in configuration but if I reboot they appear again, and they are still not working properly.

1882

Easiest way is using zigbee2mqttassistant :

I just use a USB extension cord for the atenna and then added a few ikea zigbee repeaters. Was cheap and easy and meant I didnt have to mess with a working solution :wink:

3 posts were split to a new topic: ZHA - pairing Ikea router

1887

Admittedly, I havenā€™t read the entire topic and doing a search hasnā€™t given me the answer butā€¦

I thought I saw somewhere that the HUSBZB-1 stick will now work with Zigbee2MQTT.

Is that correct or am I only imagining that I saw it?

1888

It is not on the list of supported adapters

You may be thinking of conbee support.

I saw that but since I could have sworn I saw support was added for the HUBZ stick I figured Iā€™d ask here in case the docs hadnā€™t been updated or some such.

Maybe but that doesnā€™t ring a bell.

But I think I had it backwardsā€¦

It must have been that the ZHA component had added experimental support for the TI zigbee radios that I was thinking of.
