but how do i create more scenes? i only got 1x pressed scene?
They start to negotiate (sometimes after 10 seconds after pressing 5 seconds, sometimes it takes more then half a minute), but it always takes more than 10 to 15 minutes for Homey to interview all settings. I keep pressing the button as advised, but alas. I end up with nothing (not added at all) or an "Unknown Zigbee device" and can not add it again without deleting it first. Funny thing is that the unpairing does happen immediately after pressing the button for 5 seconds.
Am I doing something wrong? Do i have the wrong sensors?
Homey has version 1.5.9.
Fact is, adding takes ages and gives me an unknown device, deleting takes 1 second...
In the same way saving files, pinging a device to find out stuff takes time, where as deleting is just removing the record
I still think it is rather strange that the adding must be done within short distance of the homey, takes initially between 5 and 50 seconds to start and lasts 5 to 15 minutes, while the deletion happens within 1 second, even if i'm 10 meters or more away from the Homey...
I would advise to delete the Xiaomi Mi Zigbee app. Then pull Homey’s plug just be sure. If Homey is running again, then re-install the app and try again. If that doesn’t work I would contact Athom support.
By the way, there is no Zigbee mesh yet, these are the first devices i try to add.
just remove the device, pull the plug out of Homey and wait for like 9.3 minutes before u put the plug back in. Then wait until Homey is done with all she needs to do and try to add the device again.
we’re still quite far from doing a full reset!
Manufacturer ID: LUMI
Product ID: -
Device ID: 24321
Profile ID: 260
Network address: 0x00158d0001f4ee25
I can only switch it on/off. It goes to off automatically after a few seconds. Homey doesn't show anything but i get an error message (205, something with network) when switching on in the beta app on my phone.
Let's see and further debug....
So during inclusion the `Product ID` is not send / received correctly (`-`). The product ID is the discriminating factor based on which the app determines the right device driver. Device ID an Profile ID are more generic indicating the type of device and profile.
Since the app can not find the right device driver, the device will be added as an unknown device (with 'onoff' switch capability....So one of the reports during the inclusion is not received correctly.
Just to verify:
- You mentioned that you are trying to include a 'Xiaomi Temp/Hum sensor' and you followed the instructions to keep pressing the button. So I assume you are trying to include the round Xiaomi Temperature / Humidity sensor (Device ID: lumi.sens), correct?
- At what distance did you try to include the sensor? Advice is to do this at close proximity (~1m) of Homey.
- When removing the device, did you use the option at Settings > Zigbee> remove device (activate the device button)?
- Did you try both options: `Devices > add a Zigbee device` and `Devices > xiaomi app > add Xiaomi Temperature & Humidity sensor`
Do you have other Zigbee devices that you can try?
Today 1.5.11 has been released to stable channel... it has a number of fixes included that are related to the communication to the Zigbee chip...
Could you retry after updating to 1.5.11 (will be rolled out in waves so might not yet be available)?
I’ll check in parallel with the Athom team for further steps / solutions...
This is the Unknown second one:
The first one I have renamed to Temp/Hum S1, but this new name is not shown either.
yes I did refresh the page, even restarted the computer ( Homey not yet )
-------------- after a reset of Homey via settings/system: it works!!
Last time i upgraded immediately i ended up with building my Z-Wave network all over from scratch.
And then it was way smaller then it is now....
no problems so far, only the restart to update the https://developer.athom.com/tools/zigbee page. (see item above)
Pulled power for 30 minutes and started up again.
Now the developer page says:
Also, my z-wave is rather slow and some switches don't respond anymore.
I think i'm going to give up on the Homey for a second time and switch to Fibaro HCL again.
That is way more stable and works flawless, i only have to give up on voice control then.
Voice control is very nice, except when the controller refuses to do what it should do.
I held the link button until the LED blinks 3 times, kept pressing the button, get the message that the device is being added, nothing else is reported (clusters etc.) and finally I get the message that no Zigbee device was found. Trying this at ~10 cm distance from Homey, rebooted Homey 3 times and tried again.
Using Homey firmware 1.5.9 and with 1.5.11, Xiaomi app 0.3.
Succesfully registered other Xiaomi devices afterwards, have Human Body sensors, both temp sensors, door sensors and wireless switches in the network. Only the cube won't register.
Any suggestions how to debug?
I had the HCL running for a month and it never missed a scene or switch moment, whatever i did in the network. Can't say that for Homey, alas. The concept is good, the stability a burden.
In fact, i discovered i should be able to combine a HCL with a Samsung ST and have all. Z-Wave, Zigbee, connection to my HomeWizard as long as i still have kaku (433) and voice control via Google Home. Native that is, without the "tell xxx to"...
Is there any way to correct this?
