FYI; ZHA uses the “ZHA Device Handlers” library by default for ZHA exception and deviation handling:
So what you might need to do to get devices with problems working is create a new custom device handler, also known as a “quirk”, or update the existing quirks, or submit an new issue on that GitHub repository with more detailed information and logs if you need help with the creation or updating ZHA custom device handlers:
Once a new quirk is added or updates there are instructions in their readme file now on how to test new releases of zha-device-handlers that are not yet available in Home Assistant so you do not have to wait for a new release of Home Assistant as well:
What do you mean? Different to what? ZHA support multiple adapter models from different manufacturers. Different manufacturers use different firmware, and some adapter models when it is the same manufacturer use newer firmware when it has a newer chip. All adapters/chips listed on the ZHA integration component page work with ZHA in Home Assistant.
I have now submitted a pull request to clarify that all TI CC1352x and CC2652x are supported by ZHA
The PR only updates ZHA documenation withoyut any code changes. CC1352P, CC1352R, CC2652P, CC2652R, CC2652RB use the same TI Zigbee coordinator firmware/API version and are all already supported by the current branch with existing ZHA and zigpy/zigpy-cc libraries. No code changes needed.
Hi @slaesh, I’ve placed an order on the 9/8/20 but have not yet had any updates on the status. I’ve also sent a message to you via Tindie a few days ago. Please respond, cheers.
FYI, a few days ago I noticed he had posted on Tindie that he he had to go away on an unplanned trip:
"DELAY On an unplanned emergency business trip! May take up to a week… Production is still running! All delayed orders will get some goodies! For new Orders use this code: 4163C0A1"
I have just received a new zzh stick because the old batch was not good. Perfect service from Omer.
But i have still not the range what i expected from this stick. My conbee2 stick has a much better range then this one. Also without routers.
I found that the new stick didn’t really change the signal strength (it was about 160 with the sensor about 2 meters from the stick, it’s about 170 now). However, when I move it to the other side of the house I’ve got a LinkQuality of about 60 to 70 - about 10 to 12 meters away, through 4 plasterboard walls.
Ok, so once I get to the cc2538-bsl.py -p COM6 -evw CC26X2R1_20200805.hex
my command prompt window shows:
