some days ago I was in a good mood and wanted to replace my old Hygrometer in the Bathroom.
As my wife complained about the missing Clock (WAF) I decided for this model:
Device information for endpoint 5E23/1
Node Info Value
Application Version 64
Date Code
HW Version 1
Manufacturer Name _TZE200_c7emyjom
Model Identifier TS0601
Power Source 3
Stack Version 0
ZCL Version 3
Okay then I’ve connected the device and got no channels, after a short look at the endpoint I was not amused.

There are no standard clusters available, it seems to be a bad habit of newer tuya devices.
I can see that the device is connected to the Zigbee network also the devices indicates the connection but shows no time.
Now my questions:
Can the Output Cluster 000A Time somehow be mapped so that I can see the attributes?
For the super super ugly Cluster EF00 would it be possible to create the attributes for it also?
The attributes are described here:
My Idea would be to get the messages transported inside this cluster in there simply as strings pipe dived In/Out/Reported into OpenHab.
Then at least there would be a chance to create an own rule for mapping the messages into items in OH.
As always, anything is possible, but not without quite a lot of work as this is a very non-standard device. I’m in the process of refactoring the binding to support these Tuya devices a bit better, but as I’m currently quite busy, it’s not something I’m likely to complete particularly quickly.
Agreed. Firstly, I don’t see why the company would go to the expense of certifying such a device - presumably it is used in a proprietary system so there’s no need to have it certified. Secondly I’m surprised the ZWA (or CSA - whoever!) would certify it.
I have been through the certification process with a reasonably simple device, and it’s not super cheap!
for sure I will try to return the device.
How can I avoid the trap of buying devices that have this really really ugly implementation?
is there a list?
The label ‘zigbee certified product’ and a matching entry in the ZigBee database (Zigbee Certified Products Archives - Connectivity Standards Alliance) seems to be a strong indicator that the relevant functionality isn’t hidden behind manufacturer specific clusters, whereas ‘Works with Tuya’ seems to be the opposite.
Sadly this gives Zigbee a bit of a bad name as people think that these “Zigbee products” are, well, Zigbee products. In fact a lot of these cheaper devices are not compliant - they use 802.15.4 (which Zigbee also uses), but they don’t use the Zigbee Cluster Library (ZCL), or they don’t use it fully, and it’s this layer that provides the interoperability.
I’ve had some abuse over the years from people who get upset that the binding tries to focus on Zigbee devices, but at the end of the day when it’s just me trying to add support, I prefer to try and focus on the standards. If devices use the standards, then the binding will for the most part work with them. There’s always the occasional time that a manufacturer adds some special function to make their device better, and this is exactly the same in ZWave. Often these functions aren’t absolutely necessary, and the command line tools I provide can allow some level of configuration etc with them. The binding can also be configured to take definitions for devices that work with the standards, but have some extra non standard functions.
The problem with the Tuya devices is they really use a different concept on how they communicate.
Anyway, as @anon71759204 said, if you get something that says it’s Zigbee certified, that’s a good start - although as we know, some people don’t care too much about the truth and might print this on their box anyway, and so checking with the Alliance database is always good (but this can sometimes be hard to find devices in).
Hi, I can also Confirm SNZB-02 (Temperature + Humidity sensor) is working fine.
Except reading the battery level.
Can you read the Battery Level from SNZB-03?
Hi, yes its a Caliber 9R31, The poor men’s 7R14
Aliexpress offers a free return service, I hope this will work.
The good thing is the guy offers also the SonOff sensors, therefore i hope it works if I would promise to order new things.
Yes I could definitely say so, it’s like building MQTT into ZigBee (And this is not what it was designed for).
Its nearly like Bender would say, I build my own ZigBee Standard with Blackjack and Hoo…ers.
That’s a bit sad… all devices seem to me very promising.
No special vendor depending gateway, would enable me to choose a device wich fits best to my needs / application.
