I had the urge to nerd around a bit, and scratched it by putting #zigbee2mqtt running on #microshift #kubernetes at home. It controls zigbee devices at home via #HomeAssistant

The hard part was to understand how to get access to usb device. It was one liner after all, easy after you know it! Hint: Use generic device plugin. Here is the reference, if someone searches the same one day.

The next nerding device arrived for bedroom led strip.

Weekend nerding activity was to install lighting dimmers. It sure was hard to find zigbee zevice which works without neutral wire. Plastics required some work to make them fit. Great to have home-automated controls which also works manually!

As downside these don't seem to report states nor does z2m recognize them.

Has someone figured out the scc magick to allow container in OpenShift/Microshift to get access to /dev/ttyACM0 usb device? As non root user.

Oh, nach dem Update auf das aktuellste #HomeAssistant will mein #Zigbee2MQTT nicht mehr zigbee machen
Erstmal den kompletten Pi durch booten...

So, my #zigbee2mqtt just randomly stopped working and apparently the solution it to reflash the ZigBee Stick, which requires hardware that I do not have. And until I do this, all my stuff is borked. Cool cool. It is indeed true: if you have #HomeAssistant you have a new hobby, if you want it or not.

Was bin ich froh, dass...

wir keine #tesla Faschistenkarre gekauft haben
wir unsere privaten Daten nicht auf einem Cloudserver in den #usa, sondern auf einer #nextcloud zu Hause haben
wir auf allen Systemen #linux benutzen
wir (soweit es geht) #signal benutzen und nicht #whatsapp
wir auf allen Geräten #duckduckgo benutzen
unser #smarthome dank #homeassistant #esphome und #zigbee2mqtt komplett lokal (ohne Cloud) läuft

Zumindest darüber muss ich mir aktuell keine Sorgen machen

Finally done it, several months after v2.0 was released. Let's restart the container...

phuk, updated #zigbee2mqtt and the sonoff stick firmware. All the devices except for two were lost. Need to re-pair all of them, and even then they don't show up again in #HomeAssistant. #Zigbee is super, except when it is not. Luckily I have so small amount of those after the move. I don't know what I missed, I kept the data dir backup.

Put aside a few hours today to migrate my Zigbee2MQTT setup from a RPi with a Sonoff dongle to a Proxmox LXC with a remote PoE powered SLZB-06 receiver. Took a quarter of an hour (and that included the time to reboot all the Zigbee routers). It just worked. Colour me impressed.

New #blog post: Setting #zigbee2mqtt up with #homeassistant

To address some issues with my original coordinator, I've moved my Zigbee network from using ZHA & a Conbee stick to using Zigbee2MQTT & a network bridge

This post describes getting it up and running

Does anyone use a #PhillipsHue Tap Dial #zigbee remote with #zigbee2mqtt 2.0.0?

(Exact model: 8719514440937)

I can't figure out why I no longer see activity even in debug logs.

I've tried repairing, filing an upstream issue etc, no luck.

If it works for anyone else I'd at least know it's a local issue.

Hey, #smarthome users!
What are some #ZigBee EU smart plugs with energy monitoring you can recommend? Except #Tuya and #Aqara

What about #3reality? Or maybe #Bosch?

I got a reminder today that I might not have put my new lights on to "previous state" after a power cut which means that if we had a 3 am windstorm based power cut, we'd be dealing with all the lights in the house going on.

That's now fixed.
