Hi I’m struggeling making my zigbee led controller working correctly in my openhab 3.1 environment. My setup: Openhab 3.1 * running on a raspberry pi 4 installed the zigbee binding using this Ember Cooordinator : SMaBiT (Bitron Video ZigBee USB Funkstick für Qivicon, Openhab u.v.m, AV2010/10: …

I’m not an expert on openhab. could you please tell me exacly which logs you mean and what entries I should look for ? In the openhab.log there is nothing to see when I change the control from Dimmer to Color (or the other way round). In the events log there is only one line stating that the item …

Hi Chris I enabled the zigbee logs as described in the documentation Just for explanation what you will find in the logs : I added the Tint Color Bulb to my network. As I wrote above I have the same problem with it, that the Color control does not work or better display the three sliders. So th…

I think your problem is somewhere in the UI. I’m not really sure exactly what you’re doing, but there are no colour settng commands in this log. From the binding perspective, from a quick look, it looks fine. The configuration seems to go fine - including for the colour channel, and the colour is re…

Hi Chris Thanks for your analysis. And it seems you are right. There is a color “sent” command missing and the so the color control stas uninitialized. I simulated that and initialized the both color controls with a “sendCommand”. After that I got the color controls displayed correctly and I am n…

State UNDEF is likely set by the binding when it fails to process some value, or communications failure etc. (Items are otherwise born as NULL, so something did it, and there isn’t much else apart from a deliberate rule action.) So there appears to be some problem with your devices reporting statu…

Yes, that may be possible. In the logfile there were these 2 entries visible for the color channel while adding the tint color bulb to the network : [image] But what can I do to make the binding understand the status values from my devices ?

[image] csand: So as a result I created a rule that will run after startup of openhab to initialize all my zigbee color controls to workaround the problem. I don’t understand what this is doing or what it is initialising. As we saw from the log, the item is definately being initialised (well,…

[image] chris: I don’t understand what this is doing or what it is initialising. He’s just giving his Color Items some initial non-NULL, non-UNDEF state so as to overcome a UI limitation that the color picker widget doesn’t work without a valid start state. That then allows him to send comma…

[image] rossko57: the color picker widget doesn’t work without a valid start state Ok, thanks, so I guess that this is a bug in the UI? Surely even if the state is unknown, the UI should allow the state to be controlled - otherwise how does a device get controlled. The binding is not required…

Yes, that is exactly what my script is doing.
Here is the code

events.sendCommand('MLIZBTExtendedColor_Color', '50,50,100');

A big “thanx” to you (@chris, @rossko57) for looking into this !!!
