I think my thread has been hijacked!

I am SO sorry

I will shut up now, I promise!

The bridge self-installs if openLuup sees one of those devices (over MQTT) and creates a corresponding virtual device.

I can see the complexity of doing this for zigbee2mqtt as there are so many devices, many of which are composites. So for example these motion detectors:

Aqara P1

which are tiny and also have high claimed battery life, have all sorts of properties in their payload - however it's fundamentally a motion sensor:

{
  "battery": 100,
  "detection_interval": 30,
  "device_temperature": 22,
  "illuminance": 64,
  "linkquality": 255,
  "motion_sensitivity": "medium",
  "occupancy": false,
  "power_outage_count": 0,
  "trigger_indicator": false,
  "voltage": 3215
}

Home Assistant has similar problems, where there are so many properties to perhaps make use of and/or handle.

I'm thinking that with zigbee2mqtt and also ZWAVE JS UI you could possibly do OK with just handling a few types of devices. I would suggest just:

Relays
Dimmable and colored lights
Blinds?

Other stuff could probably be handled with code and the Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in.

Out of interest; the zigbee2mqtt "Bridge" churns out stuff like this for each zigbee device:

However getting back to the migration issue; I could probably make use of the Virtual HTTP Devices plug-in but as previously mentioned, I may need up to 80 devices to be created.

How do you "Create" a device programmatically? Looks like the MIOS documentation Wiki is being abandoned; otherwise I would scour through that for the answer. Assume you need to post D_zyz.xml and I_xyz.xml file names, etc to somewhere?

therealdb

Look at this:

vera-OpenSprinkler/L_VeraOpenSprinkler1.lua at master · dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler

Completely new and rewritten plug-in to interface an OpenSprinkler to a Vera or openLuup system. - dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler

You'll need to append them and then sync

vera-OpenSprinkler/L_VeraOpenSprinkler1.lua at master · dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler

Completely new and rewritten plug-in to interface an OpenSprinkler to a Vera or openLuup system. - dbochicchio/vera-OpenSprinkler

Honestly, I've dumped all my luup code from production, so my skills are definitely at the lower end and the wiki has gone.

Yes, that's the sort of thing I had in mind. Both Shelly and Tasmota bridges are similarly constrained.

What topics do zigbee2mqtt and ZWAVE JS UI use?

Shelly currently subsribes to "shellies/#", and Tasmota to "tele/#", and " tasmota/tele/#".

I'm still delving into this, so my current knowledge is a little on the short side and the following is a little generalized. However:

It seems that battery operated devices have nothing that can be controlled and their status cannot be read on demand ie no set or get possible (as indicated by an "access" sub property - see below). Presumably because they are asleep most of the time. So a battery powered Aqara motion detector publishes this only when it's triggered by motion:

"zigbee2mqtt/0x01234567890abcde" and supplying a flat json payload containing all the properties - see previous post above.

"zigbee2mqtt" begins all the topics. It can be set to something else but not sure why you would; unless you had multiple instances of zigbee2mqtt running.

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"

So you could have topics such as:

"zigbee2mqttInstance2/bedroom1/left_corner/motion" instead of "zigbee2mqtt/0x01234567890abcde"

The bridge defines all the devices and the devices' topics:

"zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" with a payload, which is an array of json objects - one for each device. ieee_address and friendly_name are top level properties of each device in the array. See previous post above.

The "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices" topic is published when you first connect to the zigbee2mqtt server. ie you can't do a GET on it - not sure why that is. It's republished if a device joins or leaves. You can force a republish by doing: "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/request/restart" but that's a bit radical, as it does a full server restart.

Each property in the device's status report is also further described by the bridge. So a status property such as temperature has sub properties eg "access", which indicates if the property can be set or get. ie battery operated devices can't be set or get. That is to say each device has an array of property description objects.

So to set up: you would load up the array of devices from "zigbee2mqtt/bridge/devices". Then wizz through them looking for ones of interest under "definition.exposes[array]". Trying to identify what the device type is, appears to be a bit tricky. Looks like you have check the device for the presence of various property combinations or omissions.

Aqara motion detector: has "occupancy". Also has device_temperature & illuminance, which in this case is not much use, as you only get the values when motion triggers the unit.

Hue light bulb: has "light"

Hue light switch: has "action"

Gets tricky with say composite devices. But it would be good to allow some of them eg:

Ikuü Dual outlet: has "switch" with "state_left" & "state_right" but no "brightness"

Tuya five gang light switch: has: "switch" with "state_l1" to "state_l5" (but no "moving_*" properties see below).

Lots of the devices also have temperature sensors and some have energy consumption sensors.

But then you have this that helps confound identification of a device:

Dual curtain/blind controller: It has "moving_left" & "moving_right" but it also has "state_left" & "state_right" like the Ikuü Dual outlet above!

Controlling things - eg a light bulb. There are two ways:

send a block of json as the payload
or pure text as the payload, with words such as ON or OFF or TOGGLE

From the following link that talks about these two SET & GET:

In case you don't want to use JSON, publishing to zigbee2mqtt/[FRIENDLY_NAME]/set/state with payload ON is the same as publishing to zigbee2mqtt/[FRIENDLY_NAME]/set payload {"state": "ON"}"

Zigbee supported devices page shows three column headings:

Vendor
Exposes
Search

The "Exposes" pull down list is very useful as you can filter devices by what properties they expose. Useful for working on how to identify the device type. The filter allows multiple properties to be selected - allowing devices to be narrowed down further.

Should be able to run this code to get some idea how the type of the zigbee devices could potentially be identified:

These are all set to: "http://"

Set them to skip and try again.

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.

Hope this is of some help.

Certainly is! I'll pull something together and post it in the testing branch. Might need a bit of to and fro to get going properly.

There is a new version (v22.11.27) in the testing branch.

If you connect to the openLuup MQTT server, then it should detect the "bridge/devices" message and create some generic devices with some partial info about them in some variables. Just a basic test to show that the fundamentals work.

When the message is first detected, openLuup will create a Zigbee2MQTT bridge, a room called Zigbee and the child devices in that room. Here's what I get with the sample code you provided above (excellent starting info, by the way!) ...

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

I've slightly refined the individual device variables.

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

@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.

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.

@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.

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?
