Hello,
I have recently extended my KNX based (and OH3-linked) home automation installation with a few zigbee based sensors and actuators (plugs mainly). Thanks to the help of the community (Sonoff Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus -- consensus on installation and use - #7 by hafniumzinc) I have successfully linked in the zigbee elements with zigbee2mqtt using a sonoff usb plus dongl. I can see the status of the sensors and switch the plugs from the openhab UI.
So far so good.
What I would like to do is to be able to link the knx and zigbee based elements… for example use a knx push button to toggle a zigbee-linked plug.
I have hence created a new KNX group address, and “virtual” thing in openhab, where a channel is connected to that KNX group address. I then link this channel to the item already linked to the zigbee-mqtt thing.
Unfortunately it doesn’t work.
Sending a knx telegram directly in the ETS Group monitor, actually does change the relevant (zigbee based) item:
2022-03-31 17:04:24.404 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent ] - Item 'des3' changed from OFF to ON
However, the switching doesn’t take place.
If I change the same item in openhab UI directly, the switching does take place. (i.e. the zigbee plug is correctly linked into openhab)
2022-03-31 16:22:02.447 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemCommandEvent ] - Item 'des3' received command ON
2022-03-31 16:22:02.451 [INFO ] [penhab.event.ItemStatePredictedEvent] - Item 'des3' predicted to become ON
2022-03-31 16:22:02.461 [INFO ] [openhab.event.ItemStateChangedEvent ] - Item 'des3' changed from OFF to ON
I have played around with the link profiles for the two links to the same item. (follow, normal), but to no avail.
