ZigBee consecutive polling of Attributes

FranzS · March 12, 2022, 3:51pm

Hi all,

I bought some Zigbee Devices like the TS011F Smart Plug and the TS130F Rollershutter.
Some of the Attributes are not supported for reoporting like electical measurement.
Is there any way in the ZigBee console or somewhere else to configure consecutive polling? Currently I do it by executing every minute a command in the OH Console trough a rule.
I wonder if there is a better way.

Thanks a lot and have a good weekend
/Franz

var logger = Java.type('org.slf4j.LoggerFactory').getLogger('org.openhab.rule.poll');
var Exec = Java.type('org.openhab.core.model.script.actions.Exec');
var command = Exec.executeCommandLine;
var result = "";

result = sendConsole("zigbee read 13331/1 0x0B04 1291");
result = sendConsole("zigbee read 16695/1 0x0B04 1291");
result = sendConsole("zigbee read 29159/1 0x0B04 1291");
result = sendConsole("zigbee read 31132/1 0x0B04 1291");
result = sendConsole("zigbee read 46811/1 0x0B04 1291");
result = sendConsole("zigbee read 55589/1 0x0B04 1291");

logger.info(result);

function sendConsole(commandForConsole)
{
  logger.info(commandForConsole);
  return results = Exec.executeCommandLine("/openhab/runtime/bin/client", "-p" , "habopen" , commandForConsole);
}

The binding should periodically poll the device itself, so you shouldn’t need to do this. If the polling and reporting options aren’t available for this channel, then please raise an issue on the github issues list and I’ll look at adding it.

Has a github issue been raised for this? I also have the TS011F smart plug and seems like support for it isn’t ideal at the moment.

Hi
yes I’ve created this item:

github.com/openhab/org.openhab.binding.zigbee

Allow configuration of reporting parameters in Channel Details for all Attributes that support reporting

### Outline As a OpenHab user I want to be empowered to configure in the Chan…nel Details the Reporting properties similar to. zigbee subscribe 19620/1 0x001 0x0020 120 900 0 zigbee subscribe 19620/1 0x001 0x0021 120 900 0 like show here: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/18656932/158018647-b3b837a5-6b61-490b-96c6-472f8bdaf7cc.png) ### Configuration All device attributes that support (or has setup a reporting)

@phjr99 its sometimes a bit weired because one adapter in my case reports really the others need to be polled (same model).

Can you describe what the problem is? What exactly is missing.

This issue is about allowing the user to change the reporting rather than using the default values used by the binding. It’s unclear if this is the issue that @phjr99 is having since even without the user being able to control the reporting, the channel data should still be available, and this issue won’t really change that.

Maybe the device didn’t get configured correclty during initialisation. You could try to reinitialise it - there is an option in the configuration of the device to do this.

phjr99 · September 28, 2022, 6:16pm

It’s a pity this discussion picked up its pace only now. In the mean time I have found a different solution for zigbee interfacing, as openhab seemed quite lacking (I use zigbee2mqtt now). However if I remember correctly, the problem with TS011F was that the binding wasn’t reporting the measurements (current/watts/voltage/…) - most likely due to missing polling, but could be something else.

chris · September 28, 2022, 7:00pm

Apologies - I’ve personally been travelling extensively since the beginning of August in Africa, the US and Europe, and have only returned home on Tuesday. I have had limited time to work on openHAB issues during this time - please remember that this is not my main job.

Generally polling should not be required if the device supports the standard reporting system from Zigbee. The binding should configure reporting on all channels if supported, and if not, it should poll. Without seeing logs though, it’s hard to say what is happening with this device.

phjr99 · September 28, 2022, 7:11pm

No need to apologize, I didn’t mean to put any blame on you or anyone else - I’m well aware this is a volunteer project and noone’s main job.

Indeed many things shouldn’t be needed if devices followed the standards. All in all I see zigbee as much more fragmented than z-wave, with many vendors implementing their own interpretations of standards, or just not following the standards fully. Thus my choice of zigbee2mqtt, which seems to be following these things quite quickly and has a huge database of these “quirks” for specific devices.
