OK it works with them all set to skip although the documentation says blank, skip or http:// is OK . Might be useful to initialize them to skip.

Yep, time to update docs and the lib. Thanks for letting me know.

akbooer

I've slightly refined the individual device variables.

Should be easy to select at least some device types from this...

a-lurker

@akbooer

All works as advertised!! Excellent work. I still don't see the last image of the variables - still see the table pointers; as per your early image. Probably the latest code hadn't been committed to GitHub, judging by your commit times & post times.

I installed the openLuup testing branch and restarted. All worked as normal. Then I restarted the zigbee2mqtt server forcing it to output the "bridge/devices" message and everything got going in openLuup - great.

This is going to provide a lot possibilities. Currently 2507 possibilities! Downside is I may have to go and buy a few more devices.

Here's the start up log with a few edits and minus the date time. Might be useful to have say "none" or "****" for UserName & Password in the log. The "My Lua ver 0.50 debug:" is some of my test code:

Thank you very much for your efforts.

akbooer

Great! Yes, haven’t committed the latest.

So that’s enough to get you going, then?

What else is needed? Obviously device type Identification and variable updates…

a-lurker

Device detection would be good. Hoping to see but asking a lot:

Occupancy sensor as per the device already shown in zigbee2mqtt/bridge payload.
RGB & white adjustable light bulb in this link. It's pretty typical. RGB would be optional. ie some bulbs being white only tunable.
Something like this Chinese dual outlet.. This would produce two virtual switches.
Hue switch/buttons. and similarly something like this single button. or this one.

The above should allow a Hue hub replacement in most cases? Noting the Hue switch is pretty tricky to replicate. Seems like it's effectively a scene controller.

The Occupancy sensor also has illuminance and temperature but certainly at this stage; just need the device's primary function.

I note in the documents some of the properties are in round brackets eg:

light (state, brightness, color_temp, color_xy), effect, power_on_behavior, linkquality

I don't know but I suspect that those properties in round braces are sub properties of the property of 'light" and that would be reflected in the MQTT device definition json as such. I need to add in a few more devices to my zigbee network to be definitive.

I had a look at the ZWave JS UI . Probably not overly different form Zigbee.

akbooer

@a-lurker said in Migrating Zwave & ZigBee stuff to MQTT - guidance needed.:

0x01234567890abcde is the "ieee_address" of the device and it can be associated with a "friendly_name" of your own choice, such as "bedroom1/left_corner/motion"

This would seem to be a somewhat ambiguous convention, since MQTT topics are also subdivided with the '/' symbol. Especially since these can then be suffixed...

zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/availability
zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/set
zigbee2mqtt/FRIENDLY_NAME/get

...and so on.

I suppose we have to go with it.

akbooer

@a-lurker

New testing version v22.11.28 with the updated variable listing and also (perhaps) device identification for:

lights (displayed as switch)
switches (displayed as scene controller)
occupancy (displayed as motion sensor)
generic

The identified devices should have some of their standard serviceIds and variables.

Can I get a more complete bridge/devices JSON to try?

a-lurker

@akbooer
This is all coming along nicely - thanks.

I've set up a Hue color/tuneable white light bulb as it's probably the most complicated of the lights. This is what it replies with when you do a "zigbee2mqtt/0xaa55aa55aa55aa55/set" with payload {"state": "TOGGLE"}

{
  "color_mode": "xy",
  "linkquality": 255,
  "state": "ON"
}

Not sure if the "color_mode" is actually changeable. ie whether it's always XY color (CIE 1931 color space) or whether it can be RGB style. I note the Ikea bulbs just seem to be XY space.

If I change a color in the zigbee2MQTT web page it sends (not sure about all the back slashes):

'zigbee2mqtt/0xaa55aa55aa55aa55',
payload '{\"color\":{\"x\":0.4339,\"y\":0.5008},\"color_mode\":\"xy\",\"linkquality\":255,\"state\":\"ON\"}'"}

this is the reply from the bulb.

{
  "color": {
    "x": 0.6942,
    "y": 0.2963
  },
  "color_mode": "xy",
  "linkquality": 255,
  "state": "ON"
}

Here's "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" for the light bulb only. You see there is a further lower level "features" below "exposes" ie "description,exposes,features". I've just cut & pasted the light bulb json description part below. It's just concatenated with the coordinator and the occupancy sensor, that you have already been using. I hope this is not getting unduly complex.

The coordinator and the occupancy sensor are listed here in the json and this is the light bulb:

zigbee2mqtt has individual device set up/review pages. You can see here that all the colors can be set up for example. The tooltip shows underlying stuff. In this case for color_hs.

New testing version v22.11.29 should identify (some) lights, and it's plausible that the on/off control will work (the dimmer doesn't, and the internal state doesn't yet get updated.) Would be interested in the log when trying this.

a-lurker

@akbooer

Making great progress. The light is recognized and can be turned on & off. Also if I change the color with the zigbee2mqtt web page and then turn the light off and on in AltUI the color is retained.

Here is one observed issue: I have in my own code with a subscription to the occupancy sensor and using that to set a switch in VirtualHTTP. Has been working and has now stopped working. You see the code here - line 415.. Looks like something in openLuup has stopped that functioning? See error in log below:

@a-lurker said in Migrating Zwave & ZigBee stuff to MQTT - guidance needed.:

Here is one observed issue: I have in my own code with a subscription to the occupancy sensor and using that to set a switch in VirtualHTTP. Has been working and has now stopped working. You see the code here - line 415.. Looks like something in openLuup has stopped that functioning? See error in log below:

This is clearly a nil topic value in the call. Where that is supposed to come from, I don't know.

The ignored topics are the reason that the openLuup device state is not changing – I simply haven't coded the monitoring side of things yet. The next step.

I'm unclear because of your log edits whether the devices are using their ieee_address or their friendly_name as MQTT topics. AFAIK, it's legal to use either? I need to make some extra arrangements if so.

Which devices are currently not being correctly identified?

a-lurker

"The ignored topics are the reason that the openLuup device state is not changing – I simply haven't coded the monitoring side of things yet" - makes sense. Yes next step.
"your log edits": - sorry about this. Being a bit paranoid. All the ieee_address(s) and their associated friendly_name(s) are equal to each other. I haven't changed them. They are still the hex "mac" addresses of the devices.
"AFAIK, it's legal to use either? " It would certainly appear so. The use of the friendly_name(s) would certainly be needed to do topic filtering. ie plus & hash. But I've made no attempt so far to change the friendly_name(s). Trying to keep the change in all the variables to a minimum.
"This is clearly a nil topic value in the call" - this is my separate code. I subscribe to the occupancy sensor and the openLuup handler routine is coded to set a virtual switch. Seems the topic is getting screwed up in the handler but may be red herring, so please don't take too much notice. However as far as I can see @thereadldb has not made any recent code changes.
"Which devices are currently not being correctly identified?" - errhh none! Working very well so far.

If I need to provide more info please let me know.

Oh! ... wasn't expecting that!

Currently working on the device variable status updates.

akbooer

Being a bit paranoid.

I did, at least, replace username and password in the MQTT diagnostics with "****"!

These wouldn't anyway appear in the log at all if you had not enabled DEBUG in that module.

New testing version v22.11.30 should now mirror the device status (on/off and brightness) and also enable the openLuup device on/off control to work. Brightness level not yet implemented.

Battery levels should be shown too (once the device has woken up.)

Does the occupancy sensor work too?

a-lurker

@akbooer
Looking good - using AltUI for the following:

Light bulb:

Works:

on/off does control the bulb
variable LoadLevelStatus reflects any brightness changes
virtually all variables are loaded with a few exceptions - see below

Doesn't work:

brightness slider (as you noted)
light bulb icon does not change state in UI
variable LoadLevelTarget is always zero
variable linkquality is not loaded from the mqtt messages
variable effect is not loaded from the mqtt messages

Motion detector:

Works:

red dagger shows in UI when triggered
last trigger time shows in the UI (30 secs later as per its set up parms)
battery icon shows with percentage
virtually all variables are loaded with a few exceptions - see below

Not loaded from the mqtt messages:

detection_interval
device_temperature
illuminance
illuminance_lux
linkquality
motion_sensitivity
occupancy
trigger_indicator
voltage

Other:

variable "BatteryLevel" (and UI icon) shows "100" and variable "battery" shows "numeric". mqtt exposes "battery", so maybe some mix up or duplication here. They're probably the same thing - one mios & one zigbee.

Start up problem:
Conditions:

devices have all been previously detected and built and are available in AltUI.
the zigbee2mqtt server is running.

OK now restart openLupp. Status of all devices are not updated by any incoming mqtt messages from then on. Log says: "Topic Ignored : 0x_ieee_address".

Referring to file L_Zigbee2MQTTBridge.lua: function handle_friendly_names line 407 . Table "devices" is empty, so "dno" and "D" are nil.

Reason: it appears the "devices" table is loaded by "function init_device" and this is only called when the devices are first created in "function create_devices".

The devices table needs to be loaded if the devices have already been created. The work around is to restart the zigbee2mqtt server, so it publishes the topic "zigbee2mqtt/devices".

Logging:
Another slight issue with logging: The log showed for example on occasion : "bridge/logging" when it's actually "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/logging". The prefix zigbee2mqtt is missing and it makes a little unclear what topic is actually being ignored. Just makes it a bit harder to debug.

Console -> openLuup -> About:
There is item labelled "Debug" - how do you set this to true?

Everything is coming together!

a-lurker

Next device I'm hoping to try out: a Xiaomi button.

The above has similarities with the Hue dimmer switch

And then there is the magic cube - that's a very interesting one. eg you can just rotate it to dim/undim lights. Flip it and control something else.

akbooer

Thanks for the report… all exactly as I would expect. Indeed I had not done anything about initialisation apart from the bridge/device message. I now need to use the variables from existing devices to build the initial table.

I see what you mean about the error message. Will fix that. Will post separately on the debug switch. It may make sense to have console page for that.

akbooer

@a-lurker

Latest testing version v22.12.01 should fix all reported issues.

I'm working on the switches. These will appear as scene controllers.

akbooer

@a-lurker

Just pushed v22.12.01b with initial go at supporting those switches.
