Zigbee binding - pairing

Add-ons Bindings

Hi Chris,
I’m trying your zigbee binding. I can see it starting up fine, and no strange errors reported.
What i’m struggling with is how to join / let it join the zigbee network. The buttons on the remote which i normally use to connect them to each other don’t seem to do anything. When I see the instructions e.g. how to link the remotes/lights to a hue bridge I see that on the hue bridge also a button needs to be pushed to initiate the joining/linking.

Is there such a button that I’ve missed, or should it always be in joining mode?

Note: I’m trying to connect a Philips living color gen 2/3 which is suppose to be zigbee based.

If you’ve previously used the Hue bulbs with a Hue bridge, then you need to reset the bulb back to factory conditions before you can attach it to a ZigBee HA network. Maybe that’s the issue. If you’re not sure how to do that, let me know and I can probably find a video on YouTube somewhere.

What is the node that is found in the log? I assume it’s not the Hue bulb though as it says there’s no devices on the node.

Once you’ve reset the device, then you should be able to set the binding into discovery and it should get found.

Hi Chris,
In this case,
1 am I correct to say we control the hue blub directly from TI2531 usb dongle without hue bridge?
2 we can test zigbee binding simply with ti2531 dongle and hue blub?

My another question is ,
I saw in other post that ti2531 is the only dongle supported by zigbee binding. Is this still the case for now?

Thank you.

Yes.

Yes, but you will need to be able to reset the hue bulb and this requires a Hue, or probably other ZLL remote control.

Yes - at the moment that is the case.
