Zigbee binding

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

The log looks ok, but no devices are joining the network. There’s really no indication why - this level of functionality is hidden from the binding as it’s down at the 802.15.4 layer.

My recommendation is to put the binding into join mode, then reset the device that you want to join.

But if a recompile fixes it, then just using a newer ZigBee snapshot should be all that’s needed right? Or am I missing something - I’ve not followed that too closely as I’ve been busy with getting other things running…

The zigbee binding has been rebuilt, but would the zsmartsystems library also need to be rebuilt to correct this?

No - it’s an issue with ESH and the binding only.

Hi,

I’m trying to use xiaomi zigbee devices (temp sensor, button) with openhab trough cc2531 stick in a raspberry pi.
Now I see my two xiaomi devices (temp sens WSDCGQ01LM and button WXKG01LM) in the inbox and I can add to Things but both of them offline.

Do you have any experience on this?
Have you successful setup the system?

Thanks in advance,

Regards

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

I have used the temperature sensor and it works ok. I’ve got some other devices, but not tested them.

Note that these devices are nor ZigBee devices, so you can expect problems. For starters they probably don’t work through other routers, and may not work if there are network updates…

[5iver (Scott Rushworth)]

For anyone out there using an OH snapshot build >= 1230, could you please test deleting a Zigbee device and rediscovering? There are two of us that have seen an issue, but need some help sorting out the cause and a better understanding of how many people are affected. Thank you!

Discovery Failed for Zigbee Binding

I’v been struggling to get the Zigbee binding working, so thought I would go back to square 1. I have removed my old testing 2.2 binding and have the 2.3 binding installed via paperUI / Habmin. In Karaf it shows the 2.3 and only the 2.3 binding as active. I have the HUSBZB-1 dual zwave/zigbee stick. Zwave is USB0 and working well. Zigbee is setup as the Ember EM35x on port ttyUSB1 with baud rate of 57600 and shows online in both PaperUI and Habmin. But when I try to start a discovery, H…

Has anyone had any luck with the latest snapshot and CC2531? I only get exceptions:

Any pointers, or is there anywhere where I can download a “semi-stable” version of the binding? I am still working to get a remote control to work. This time, I bought a Philips Hue remote. In 2.2.0, it is discovered, but does not offer any channels. So I upgraded to 2.3.0-SNAPSHOT, but then ZigBee doesn’t seem to work at all, at least not with my CC2531 controller…

[5iver (Scott Rushworth)]

I would not expect the latest snapshot binding to work on OH 2.2 due to breaking changes in ESH included in build 1230. To use the latest version of the binding, you’ll probably need to upgrade OH.

Did you install it by dropping the jar into addons? There are now 4 jars needed for a manual install. There’s the Zigbee binding and the dongle binding from here…
https://openhab.ci.cloudbees.com/job/openHAB2-Bundles/lastSuccessfulBuild/

And then another set of them from here…
https://bintray.com/zsmartsystems/com.zsmartsystems/zigbee/_latestVersion

By far the easiest way would be to upgrade to a snapshot build and install the binding (just one… the rest will be installed as dependencies) through PaperUI.

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Oh, sorry, was I that unclear? I upgraded the entire OpenHab installation to 2.3.0 snapshot.

[5iver (Scott Rushworth)]

@oklona

Oh, sorry, was I that unclear?

No… I just misread your post. When I read…

@oklona

is there anywhere where I can download a “semi-stable” version of the binding?

… I took that to mean you had only downloaded the snapshot version of the binding. Anyhow, it is working for me with an Ember controller.

Actually, this might cause an issue for your controller, but I think it would be in the current build…

Fix Manifest bundle name

[Peter_Horgonyi (horgi007)]

same error here with cc2531 when I update to OH 2.3 snapshot

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

There looks to be a bug in the configuration - I’ll fix that today.

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Perfect, thanks a lot! I started thinking about poking around in the code, but as I have never done any Java-development, and don’t know the coding structure of Eclipse / OpenHAB / Bindings, I have a feeling I would need a few weeks to understand where to look

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

I’ve updated the config description which I hope will resolve this. Please give it a try and if there are still problems I’ll take a look over the weekend when I can test it properly.

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Thanks a lot, Chris! I had to find out how to compile these bindings in order to test, but I succeeded, and it now works beautifully! As soon as I get home, I can retry adding my Hue Remote.

Have a great weekend!

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

You should just be able to install this through paperUI as I did a rebuild this morning.

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Hehe, some times the solution is so simple Well, at least I learnt how to compile it. It may come in handy if I struggle with a binding at some point, or something.

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Actually, I just removed the bindings from the addons-folder, and tried adding them from PaperUI, but that gives me the following error:

15:01:24.397 [ERROR] [.core.karaf.internal.FeatureInstaller] - Failed installing ‘openhab-binding-zigbee’: Error restarting bundles:
Could not resolve module: org.openhab.binding.zigbee.cc2531 [238]
Another singleton bundle selected: osgi.identity; type=“osgi.bundle”; version:Version=“2.3.0.201804061139”; osgi.identity=“org.openhab.binding.zigbee.cc2531”; singleton:=“true”

-So there may be something not quite right with the rebuild you performed? Obviously, I’ll just re-add the binding manually, so I’m sorted for now.

[chris (Chris Jackson)]

It looks like you probably have more than one binding running. Possibly karaf has cached your previous version if you were installing it manually (this is quite common).

[oklona (Ole Kristian Lona)]

Ok, thanks again. I will continue fiddling with this, and hopefully not bother you again until something “important” happens!
