Sweet new interface in 2.4 #zigbee2mqtt. Very familiar to use, but a facelift.

Koen Kanters released #Zigbee2MQTT version 2.4.0. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/

Os puedo contar que #zigbee2mqtt y #mosquitto ya están levantados a partir de la copia de seguridad y funcionando...

Vamos a probar con #HomeAssistant, este me me da más reparo pero no debería haber problema. Veremos que ocurre.

Have you brought a SMLIGHT SLZB-06M Zigbee Coordinator and can't get it working with Zigbee2MQTT? Check my latest blog post on how I resolved this.

Oh I hate Hue devices so much. Building up my #Zigbee2MQTT network and since I have the first Hue device in there, everything just fails.

This was the last device from the kitchen to add and I just wanted to have an evening now. But I guess this is over now…

ok now I've learned more about #Zigbee, #HomeAssistant thanks to helpful people replying to this thread - I've learned that Zigbee 'integration' with HA using something like the ZBT-1 Zigbee 'coordinator' requires me to setting it up as either #ZHA or #Zigbee2MQTT. Some devices might work better on ZHA, while others on the latter.

With one (USB) coordinator, I can only use/set it up as either one. If I choose ZHA, Zigbee devices (that I thought would work/be compatible with anything Zigbee) that don't work well with ZHA would be useless for me - vice versa. For example, this article I linked details a IR blaster I wanted to buy, cos.. 'Zigbee', but apparently it only works well with Zigbee2MQTT - if I accidentally bought something like this, and have set up my Zigbee coordinator on the Pi with ZHA, I might be 'SOL'.

Am I getting this right? Does that mean every device/appliance I'm buying going forward, I have to just.. do more research and hope it's either reviewed by someone (on this matter), or specified by the vendor (i.e. if it'd work on ZHA/Zigbee2MQTT)?

RE: https://sakurajima.social/notes/a85ct0uqse

I'm in the process of switching from #ZHA to #Zigbee2MQTT and I'm really impressed by how much better everything is.

I know many people say this for a while, but after years of ZHA it's surprising what I've missed. Especially for some devices that exposed much less entities to Home Assistant via ZHA.

Suddenly I have so much more data about my home that I can not only see but also use for automations. Suddenly I can control stuff about some devices that were never available via ZHA.

I'm glad that I'm also switching the Coordinator in this process as it costs an unexpected amount of time to do this, as I have to update automations, the dashboards etc.
But in this process I can clean up so much stuff I did wrong in the last months and years.

So, thanks to over-watering our monstera plant:

1. the leaves started to turn black
2. i said fuck it, went to Ali Express and bought some Zigbee plant soil moisture meters so we wouldn't do it again
3. Turns out they're #Tuya, and the versions I bought weren't supported by the year-old version of #Zigbee2mqtt that I'm running
4. So, to upgrade to a version that supports the sensors, I had to go from 1.3.9 to 2.3.0
5. Which was backward incompatible with my old settings, so I had to fix them up
6. And that changed the MQTT payloads sent from Z2M to #homeassistant so I had to change a bunch of automation triggers related to light switches and the TV that were written years ago and had all sorts of legacy shit that no longer works

Moral of the story: dont' over-water your plants.

Датчик качества воздуха EFEKTA Smart Air Quality Box

Приветствую всех читателей Habr, сегодня хочу рассказать вам о моем новом интересном проекте для умного дома — многофункциональном датчике качества воздуха EFEKTA Smart Air Quality Box , работающем на протоколе Zigbee 3.0. Современные технологии умного дома активно развиваются, и одним из ключевых аспектов комфортной жизни становится контроль микроклимата. Качество воздуха в помещении напрямую влияет на здоровье, работоспособность и общее самочувствие. Если вам интересна тема контроля качества воздуха и вы хотите узнать чем закончилась эта разработка — добро пожаловать под кат.

Aggiornamento di #homeassistant e #zigbee2mqtt fatto. Vedaimo se nei prossimi giorni viene fuori qualche problema, in teoria leggo che dovrebbero aver migliorato la stabilità di zigbee

The only downside of a million smart #ZigBee radiator valves? It takes ages to update their firmware.

Как я пришел в умный дом: личная история автоматизации

В статье делюсь наблюдениями о развитии технологий умного дома и рассказываю на основе опыта, когда лучше применять те или иные решения — от проводных систем на крупных и производственных объектах до беспроводных решений, с которыми сегодня справится даже начинающий энтузиаст без глубоких познаний в области силовой электрики и нюансов работы исполнительной электорники.

Ktoś może mi polecić jakieś dobre czujniki wilgotności gleby dla #homeassistant #hassio najlepiej działające po protokole #zigbee i z aplikacją #zigbee2mqtt

Koen Kanters released #Zigbee2MQTT version 2.3.0. https://www.zigbee2mqtt.io/

Evolution of Home Assistant:
- Runs on Raspberry Pi, controls a single WiFi light switch
- Controls a dozen switches and plugs
- Automations using Phone locations and time of day
- AddOns! Mosquitto, AdGuard Home and MotionEye/Frigate get installed
- Migrates to beefier server
- Voice and Whisper addons get installed
- Zigbee takes over for switches and plugs

- What's next?

He quitado el bridge de #Philips #Hue de en medio y he metido todos los dispositivos que tenía en #Zigbee2Mqtt directamente.

No tenía mucho sentido, sobre todo para el uso y los cacharros que tenía seguir manteniéndolo.

Un dispositivo menos gastando energía, wifi, etc, una red #Zigbee menos en casa causando ruido y ahora todos los dispositivos Zigbee que hacían de router en Philips Hue hacen más fuerte la red mayada Zigbee principal de Zigbee2mqtt.

Qué exageración. 40min aprox se va a pegar en actualizar el firmware de una bombilla #zigbee de #IKEA

Zigbee2MQTT migraatio suoritettu home-assistanttiin. Ai miksi, no kun ir-blasteri ei toimi kun sen kautta, niin sama siirtää sitten kaikki samaan paikkaan.

Helpostihan nuo paritukset onnistui, mutta vaikka laitteiden nimet yritti pitää samoina, piti jokainen automaatio päivittää silti uudelle laitteelle.

Hallo und guten Abend zusammen!

Für unser Projekt #mapleHome haben wir uns kürzlich einen neuen #homeserver gegönnt und bereiten und den Umzug unseres #Smarthome und einiger Apps/Tools vor. Bislang läuft unser #HomeAssistant OS auf einem Raspberry Pi 4 - soweit so gut.
Was mich persönlich immer nicht ganz so glücklich macht ist, dass die erforderlichen Add-ons und Zusatzdienste eben zu 100% vom gleichen System abhängen. So ist ja z.B. zigbee2mqtt ebenfalls "offline", wenn ein Update mit Neustart durchgeführt wird ...

Meine Idee:
Ich möchte zusätzliche Server/Dienste wie #zigbee2mqtt, den #MQTT Broker, Datenbanken, ... ein eigene VMs/Container auslagern. Dazu läuft #proxmox auf dem Server, für Home Assistant wird es eine VM geben und eben auch eine VM für #Docker.

Habt ihr es auch so oder so ähnlich umgesetzt? Bin ich gedanklich auf dem Holzweg? Oder würdet ihr noch weiter gehen?

Danke schonmal und allen einen schönen Sonntagabend!
