f cree bulbs. I can’t bind to it anymore. I had a hue and cree bind perfectly after I updated the bindings. I have been messing with my system and cant bind to the cree anymore. I reset it (off 3 on 1 is easiest) and still no luck. It’s going back. Ill try another hue.
*I’m day 3 noob so take this with a grain of salt
2. I have been working to get my bulbs working with alexa. and it seems you can’t add tags via paperui. Or i’m just bad…
Anyways… the key is making the item first then adding the bulb and selecting the correct dimmer on the first try. It seems if i had edit the thing after it was made it wouldn’t work thus reverse order wouldn’t work also (create item after adding the thing)
Anyways just trying to help out and increase documentation of zigbee. Seems its limited.
Will do. I did buy one a while ago with a view to testing it, but I was unable to get it to work. Newer stacks in theory should support it (but no the Telegesis, or the TI firmware that most people are using).
I don’t think that the TI firmware will specifically support any particular devices (not that I’m aware). Currently locks are not supported within the binding though (for any coordinator).
The setting for high priority is on the VM Server configuration within the VMWare Host dashboard, though it’s not specific to the USB. Apologies for misrepresenting the configuration item!
If you’re on ESXI 6.5:
Go to “Virtual Machines”
Select your VM, press “Actions”, then “Edit Settings”
Click “VM Options” in the top, then expand “Advanced”
Set Latency Sensitivity to “High”
Note that my most current setup has the sensitivity set to normal and my system is working as expected, so this may not be required anymore.
It’s still unclear to me if they are ZigBee compliant. If so, then they should work as the manufacturer generally should not matter. From what I’ve read on other forums, they do not comply with ZigBee and this causes problems.
My focus at this stage is on getting the system stable and adding support for different types of ZigBee devices. If you can get the devices to join the network, and they comply with the ZCL, then they should work. If there are issues with the ZCL implementation then I’m happy to look at a log to see what is happening and try and improve the support in this area, but if there are more fundamental issues relating to joining and rejoining (which is what I recall reading on the SmartThings forum) then it’s likely to be difficult to support them.
@chris, did you see my latest mail? The latest addon seams to solve the problem that the Hue lamps did not switch to online. If I add only a few lamps I can also control them, but if I add all my 32 lamps nothing happens when switching a lamp on or off. Also this TX queue in the log does not seam to be empty at any time. There is also a lot of activity in the log when all lamps are added. Do you habe any idea what could cause this?
I don’t know what the “latest” is -I thought I’d replied to the last email I received from you, but maybe not. The issue I saw in the last log I looked at was simply down to loading - the network was still heavily loaded after 10 or 15 minutes of the log.
I will look more at improving this by saving more data to local storage to avoid having to request it again on startup. I have a couple of issues open to track this - quite a lot has been done to improve it already, but there are still things that are planned.
Yes - there is a lot to do when a device gets added - this is of course normal and unavoidable.We need to find out what the device supports, what model, manufacturer, supported features etc so that we can work out what channels to support.
Hi, @AndrewL did it with zigbee-shepherd and explains it here:
I’m still investigating and don’t have any Zigbee equipment, hopefully he can answer to you.
In the case that it won’t be possible, could I use the same dongle for your binding and @AndrewL’s tool, or would I need two of them (if they can coexist)?
Regards.
This log isn’t from the binding - it’s coming from a system log I guess, so there’s not a lot that the binding can do I think? Maybe there’s a driver issue - I’m really not sure what this means.
