On openHAB M1 version auto discovery does not work.
I have had it working on later snapshots, but unsure of the current state of snapshots.
There has been major rework going on lately in the preparations for M2, so my last few attempts using a snapshot resulted in me reverting back to M1.
Anyway, if you have renamed your switches and sensors, the only way to obtain the id number is using the REST-API
Ok, with http://192.168.178.62/api/APIKEY/sensors i get the list with all Items and ids. Now i can add them manually. But i have 2 problems. First the Temperatur is just a little bit high
Temperature 2431.0 °C
If i look into the SensorThingHandler.java i see the Xiaomi Temperatur fix ( temperature / 100 ) - Strange
Secord. I’m not able to add Window/Door-Sensors. All my Presence and Temperatur-Sensors work very well. Do you have any idea?
Edit: If i add the Items via HUE Bidnign Manually all is fine. Did i need the deCONZ binding? It looks like i can all with the Hue Binding. But i dont have all Channels of the Items. Its very bad
should i switch to OH 2.5? Maybe the Binding is better? And all my Windows/Door-Sensors are not able to find. I tested 6 Sensors. They all works like a charm with the original Xiaomi Gateway.
I don’t know what Thing device types you try using?
Again, are you using the correct Thing device type?
Using the HUE binding sensors and switches are polled.
The upside with the deCONZ binding is that is listens on the WEBsocket port where events are pushed.
This reduces data traffic and switch response times.
I’m on 2.5M1 (did you state what version you are on?), but knows that the deCONZ binding has received updates after that, but in order to use it you must try out a snapshot and see how that fares.
This are the Thing i would have in openhab. Some of my Door And Windows Sensors are connected. I switchted my installation to 2.5 Milestone and installed the deCONZ Snapshot 2.5 Binding.
Thanks! Now i get some my Sensors working. But only the Battery level shows trash ( Battery level -NaN %). And i have a lot of messages in the log!

every 10 seconds.
Also i have problems with my 3 Door/Windows Sensors. They can not be added. They are just not found. There are no problems with the Xiaomi Gateway. I keep the button for> 5 seconds and then hear the message that they are no longer logged in (xiaomi) then it flashes again on the sensor. however, he is not logged in afterwards.
If you want to pair the sensor in phoscon.
Start the sensor search in phoscon.
Hold the button on the xiaomi sensor till flashes three times.
THen the button only once in a responding time of 5 seconds (to keep the search alive).
Thanks for your help. I need some repeater to cover the whole house.
The binding works very well, but with autodiscover it should be better enough and easier.
You’re welcome. When M2 arrives all will be better.
Do you randomly lose nodes?
I set up a Pi4 here the other day and had some trouble. Had to use a powered hub with the ConBee stick. Not an option with Raspbee though…
Yes i lose some nodes randomly. So i bought a osram smart plug and i hope he will repeat the zigBee signa and creates a mesh. do you have a date for M2? The location of my Raspberry with Raspbee isnt very good, buth the only place with LAN and power cable So i hope that the repeater works very well
today my Osram Smart Plug + received. How can i configure it as repeater? I have the feeling that he does not work as a repeater. the plug is connected and works very well, but the thing in his radius doesnt work. i use the openhabian image with headless deconz installation. do you know a way to visual the zigbee network in headless mode? sorry for all the noob questions
You have Xiaomi sensors - right? I remember, that they have been problematic if not in direct reach of the Zigbee coordinator (not participating in the mesh routing correctly?)
I do have some Xiaomi Aqara temp/hum/pressure sensors. I stopped trying to get them working with the native Zigbee binding. They always went offline after a while
Not sure, if the former issue still exist with the current Xiaomi firmware…
Btw.: Have you already tried resetting and re-including the sensors after adding the Osram plug?
