Zigbee2MQTT Noob - Read existing Reporting Settings / Values

Hopefully not answered elsewhere… I have looked!

New to Zigbee and recently purchased a couple Tuya WSD500A devices. I tried ZHA and then learned via Google these devices aren’t ideal and dont follow the Zigbee standard etc. hardware defined reporting etc.

Out of interest I’m also trying these with Zigbee2MQTT and, to be fair, I have been able to configure Reporting … to a degree. Changing Reporting for the Temp and Humidity does change the device beahavior ( contray to some Google results) but the changes dont seem to align to what I actually set via Settings → Reporting. Basically it seems to switch between 5min reporting and 10min reporting and not reflect my set values…

To get to my point: I’m going to try a more methodical approach and therefore have reset the device and want to read the current default Max/Min Interval and Change value.

I know on ZHA I could get these values via “Reconfigure”.

How can I see these on Zigbee2MQTT?

Under ‘Reporting’ in the z2m ui.

So when a new device is added there are no existing entries under Reporting; just the ability to add new ones and set new max / min / change values.

Is there anyway to populate these before setting new values?

I start by saying I haven’t fiddled with reporting settings and only know where to find them in the ui!

I haven’t seen any prepopulated, but I’ll look through my devices.

Some do have it prepopulated.

Thanks for taking the time; since I only have the single sensor I had nothing to compare against!

I’ll read through that now; thank you!
