Lightbulb with only two channels without switch on/off

Hello,

I’d bought 2 ZigBee- lightbulbs by Alibaba, the Vendor-ID is _TZ3210_mja6r5ix, the device-ID TS0505B.
The include of the network runs without problems, but then I got a big surprise-
the device has only two channels:

  1. Color Temperature- it controls the spectrum of the light as expected and
  2. Color: the manufacturer wrote in the description of the channel in OpenHab:
    “The color channel allows to control the color of the light. It is also possible to dim values and switch the light on and off”
    The channel is default == null.
    I can switch the lamp on/off with my wall switch, but with what kind of values of the channel I can switch on/off, dimm or set set colors of the bulb?
    Has anybody an idea?

The screenshot of the channels:

You can send ON-OFF and Dimming commands to the Color channel.

EDIT: so connect a Switch or Dimmer item to that Channel.

Hello,
thank you for the fast reply. I’ll try it at the end of the week and will give feedback.

Hello,

it doesn’t work. All 4 channels are online, but the values of the 3 Channels from the channel Color are null. I can set commands with the karaf-console, but nothing is going on, the values are still null.
I can set Channel Color Temperature, the values are saved, but the bulb will doesn’t respond.
The screenshot:


The Item “Color” (lampe1_Schalter_Color) from the channel “Color” is building by OpenHab, the other 3 Items (lampe1_helligkeit, lampe1_Schalter,…) are defined in a item-File- you can see it on the attached file:
lampeZigbee.items.txt (830 Bytes)
Has you an idea, how to fix it?
And how I can switch the logging of ZigBee from Info to Debug in Karaf?

Hello,

now it is working.
It seems, it was a problem with the routing of the zigbee signals.
Now I can use all ZigBee-Properties without problems.
Thanks for the help :slight_smile:

Are you using a very recent OH Milestone or Snapshot version? … It may be that your issue was fixed by this…
