Zigbee devices are not loaded correctly during autodiscovery

Setup, Configuration and Use Migration
,
1

I have a mesh network made out of few zwave, zigbee and wifi items:

  • zwave is managed directly via an usb dongle, no issues there,
  • wifi - various bridges and connectors, no problem there;
  • for zigbee, I have a CC1352P-2 dongle, managed via zigbee2mqtt (v1.42.0) and a mosquito broker (2.0.11).

Till recently, my zigbee2mqtt was configured with homeassistant: false. I had only few items, it was not a big deal to add them manually as files. They were all the same - more or less - and copy/paste was a great tool.

However, due the increased number of zigbee devices available, I decided to enable device discovery by setting homeassistant: true. Before doing this, I removed all zigbee items and mqtt broker I added via files, so I can say is basically a fresh zigbee2mqtt installation.

My problem is that after discovery, all items were added, but the channels are pretty much useless. The devices I have exposes on/off features, voltage, energy counter, child lock, led enabled or link quality but if I look in available channels in openhab, I see only child-lock, led-enabled, power sensonr and energy. I cannot see the on/off - which, imo, is basically the most important. The items I have are:

  • Niko-170-33505
  • Niko-552-721X2
  • other smaller passive and active items - but they are in a more or less the same situation;

Here is how I added them before and it worked:

  • I manually create a PlugDummy.items and a PlugDummy.things and copied them to items respectively things directory under openhab:
Switch PlugDummy_Switch "Switch [%s]" <switch> (Plugs, FirstFloorPlugs, HallwayPlugs) {channel="mqtt:topic:PlugDummy:PlugDummy_Switch"}
Number PlugDummy_Voltage "Voltage" <voltage> {channel="mqtt:topic:PlugDummy:PlugDummy_Voltage"}
Number PlugDummy_Power "Power" <energy> {channel="mqtt:topic:PlugDummy:PlugDummy_Power"}
Number PlugDummy_Current "Current" <ampere> {channel="mqtt:topic:PlugDummy:PlugDummy_Current"}
Number PlugDummy_Linkquality "Link Quality" <qualityofservice> {channel="mqtt:topic:PlugDummy:PlugDummy_Linkquality"}

Thing mqtt:topic:PlugDummy "PlugDummy" (mqtt:broker:mosquitto) @ "Office" {
  Channels:
    Type switch : PlugDummy_Switch "On/off state of the switch" [
          stateTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy",
          commandTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy/set",
          on="ON",
          off="OFF",
          transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.state",
          formatBeforePublish="{\"state\": \"%s\"}"
     ]
     Type number : PlugDummy_Voltage "Measured electrical potential value" [
          stateTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy",
          transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.voltage"
     ]
     Type number : PlugDummy_Power "Instantaneous measured power" [
          stateTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy",
          transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.power"
     ]
     Type number : PlugDummy_Current "Instantaneous measured electrical current" [
          stateTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy",
          transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.current"
     ]
     Type number : PlugDummy_Linkquality "Link quality (signal strength)" [
          stateTopic="zigbee2mqtt/PlugDummy",
          transformationPattern="JSONPATH:$.linkquality"
     ]
}
  • After restarting openhab, I was able to see the thing in the list (with the lock icon as the thing was provisioned by file), I could see the channels and I could link them to items and do whatever I had to do with them;
  • This setup worked.

After cleanning up all old (manually provisioned) zigbee things and enabled discovery in openhab, I saw in my inbox the existing zigbee items. I added all ‘as things’ but if I look at channels, there is no switch or link quality despite the fact that in Configuration section of the item I can see the topics: sensor/0x086bd7fffeee22c2/linkquality or switch/0x086bd7fffeee22c2/switch.

The final code extracted from openhab is this one:

My question is - what am I doing wrong? Have I missed some config in zigbee2mqtt or openhab? Have I made a mistake during the import - should I select a different type of thing?

Update Forgot to mention: in the UI, I can only see 4 channels (standard view):

I don’t know if it matters or not, I also saw in openhab.log this row related to my thing:

The state option is 3rd from the bottom, so it’s there.

Update 4: During a service restart and besides the warning that a subscriber failed to process message on config topic, I also noticed this error (putting it here in case it’s relevant):

Hello everyone,

moving to OH 3.4.1 and z2m 2.0.0 I see a similar behavior for my metering plugs (different case with Gerrman Plug) but same device).

The HA config information I receive from z2m contains the information about the switch (allowing to toggle between ON and OFF), but the actual Channel for the switch item is no being created for the Thing. But the channel to en/disable the physical switch is present as a switch, so this is something hardware independant I assume.

Config for the switch as seen on the broker:

  • Seems it if considering the switch/0x70b3d52b600fb9a1/switch_child_lock but ignoring the switch/0x70b3d52b600fb9a1/switch
  • Triggers for ON / OFF are available as well.
  • In z2m controling the device is possible, no problem there.
  • I receive e.g., power or current data from the device in z2m and OH, so communication is working in general

The behavior is the same for other plugs too, so sounds like “only” the switch is having an issue.
Already deleted the Thing and rediscovering it showed the same result - the power switch channel is still missing.

Any Ideas?

I confirm, after more digging and a more clear head this morning, I realized it was only switch channel that seems to be affected.

It looks like the the configuration payload is not correctly processed. I keep seeing in logs this:

2025-01-05 01:25:43.753 [WARN ] [transport.mqtt.internal.Subscription] - A subscriber of type 'class org.openhab.binding.mqtt.homeassistant.internal.DiscoverComponents' failed to process message '7B22617661696C6162696C697479223A5B7B22746F706963223A227330312F6272696467652F7374617465227D2C7B22746F706963223A227330312F506C756742617468726F6F6D4769726C732F617661696C6162696C697479227D5D2C22617661696C6162696C6974795F6D6F6465223A22616C6C222C22636F6D6D616E645F746F706963223A227330312F506C756742617468726F6F6D4769726C732F736' to topic 'homeassistant/switch/0x086bd7fffeee22c2/switch/config'.

Which looks like it contains exactly the configuration for switch channel. The only difference on my side is that I am still using z2m 1.42.

Just filed a bug report on GitHub linking to this thread.

See [mqtt.homeassistant] Switch channels are not created · Issue #18020 · openhab/openhab-addons · GitHub. This is a regression in 4.3.1 that has already been fixed for 4.3.2. You can also try to roll back to 4.3.0 (though if you have any devices that use a name: " ", you’ll have issues with that version too).
