#GoodMorning! I’ve had a little sleep last night, because I’ve rolled a dice on changing #Zigbee network channel… They do warn you it’s experimental feature.

It’s been previously running on channel 11, which is in fact a shitshow, as there are up to 100 2.4GHz networks around here…😅

Switched to 25.

FORTUNATELY, most of the devices did migrate, leaving me with only a few stubborn switches.

It seems to be working more reliably. Fingers crossed!😍🙈

Von den Grundlagen über's messen & testen kommen wir als nächstes zum #loraahamm Sub-Topic "Integrate-them-all". Idee: #FreiFunk und #LoRaWAN , #homeassistant (#zigbee) & #EMS (#modbus) über einen Multiprotocol Router / Gateway zu bespielen.

Haben dazu mal sechs Lösungsansätze raus gesucht:

Was meint ihr? Lieber Router/Gateway ergänzen oder nen NUC from scratch aufbauen (6)?

The SLZB-06M is a Zigbee coordinator with Ethernet, PoE, and web UI — well-suited for Home Assistant (ZHA) and advanced use cases.
This article covers its architecture, integration options, and how to enable Zigbee traffic sniffing via Wireshark.

@abhayakara Hi,

Nah, I’m good, but thanks for the offer. I’m going to replace HomeKit devices with Zigbee either way because I have 3 thermostats and only one is Matter.

#Zigbee has been nice to me, is not bound to one platform and I can do a lot more in there, still being able to push supported features to HomeKit through a bridge.

I only had issues with 2 products to be honest. Mentioned HomeKit and Sonos - both are vlan sensitive…

#GoodMorning! The sun is rising in the world of small people, so let them have fun! Little Franek decided to spend his savings on a second hand Playmobil set yesterday and he loves it!😍

Damn, we did not have toys like that when we were kids…🥹

We do have other toys, though. Yesterday I’ve installed a sketchy #Zigbee device to with power monitoring clamps, so I can look at more stats and graphs…😅

The device is Zemismart SDM01 and works with #HomeAssistant with a ZHA quirk…🙈

Im Juni habe ich #Homeassistant als #Proxmox #VM aufgesetzt und nach und nach alle möglichen Geräte mittels #ModbusTCP (#Wechselrichter, #Speicher), #EVCC / #MQTT (#Wallbox), #Tasmota (#Stromzöhler) und #Zigbee (#Energiemessgeräte) integriert. Es schien kurzzeitig alles zu funktionieren bzw. hat auch funktioniert.
Allerdings - wie schon berichtet - war vor ein paar Tagen plötzlich der ganze Config-Ordner (/homeassistant) leer und damit alle
#Daten weg.

Ich habe dann das Proxmox
#Backup von vor dem Crash zurückgespielt und höndisch die seit dem Backup fehlenden Daten für den #Photovoltaik Ertrag ergänzt.

EVCC hat für die Wallbox eine Entität "sensor.evcc_loadpoint_warp3_total_charged_energy" erzeugt, die aber in HA selbst nicht für Statistiken nutzbar ist (sie wird nicht zur Auswahl angezeigt). Also habe ich eine
#Hilfsentität angelegt:

template:
- sensor:
- name: geladene Energiemenge (gesamt) mit Einheit
unique_id: geladene_energiemenge_gesamt_mit_einheit
device_class: Energy
state_class: total_increasing
unit_of_measurement: "kWh"
state: "{{ states('sensor.evcc_loadpoint_warp3_total_charged_energy') | float(0) }}"

Das hat auch funktioniert.
Seit 2-3 Tagen habe ich allerdings das Phänomen, dass für jeden Messwert ein Ausreisser gespeichert wird. Ich lade angeblich 24/7 alle 5 min entweder genau 3.552,8 kWh oder alternativ 1.776,4 kWh, also genau die Hälfte des anderen Werts, obwohl das
#EAuto gar nicht an der Wallbox hängt und folglich gar nichts geladen wird.

Ich muss also täglich 288 Werte höndisch auf 0 korrigieren - das nervt ziemlich.

Leider habe ich keine Idee, warum, nachdem es zunächst funktioniert hat, bei dieser Entität nun jeder Messwert reproduzierbar Amok läuft - und wie ich HA das wieder abgewöhnen kann
🤔🤷

Ich bin für jede Idee dankbar.

Ich denke mal der größte Vorteil von #ZWave gegenüber #Zigbee ist die Nutzung des ISM/SRD-Frequenzbandes.
Viele Standards und damit massenhaft Geräte tummeln sich bei 2.4 GHz und verstopfen damit regelrecht den Funk.
Hinzu kommen die oft besseren Reichweiten, die sich z.B. auch bei #HomematicIP zeigen.
Ein Nachteil ist für viele der Kostenfaktor, der eher zugunsten Zigbee neigt.

One more note!

While smart home stuff can seem intimidating/overwhelming at first, it's really no worse than what most people already know.

If we compare:

  • Platforms: Homekit, Alexa, Google Home
  • "Virtual cables": Zigbee, Matter

With:

  • Storage formats: CD/DVD/BlueRay
  • Display cables: VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort
  • Displays: Plasma, LCD, Cathodes
  • (etc)...

It's not really any worse, and like, if someone already gets the idea of a display cable adapter, a smart home bridge isn't that far of a leap :legothink:

One of my "core" beliefs is that technology exists to make our lives easier. So I've tried my best to make every purchase that's "smart home" related, something that solves a pre-existing (so I don't go looking for new ones...) problem.

Whether this set of purchases, the smart lights I've accumulated, so I no longer leave the lights on for days because I straight up forget to turn them off (ADHD) or some other purchase...

It's always there to make my life easier :akko_smile2:

Continued thread

Why these devices specifically?

Because I can now create automations that turn on the airco and air-purifier based on both forecasted and real-time temperature and air quality.

This should help with my (3) medical conditions that are affected by heat and (2) affected by poor air quality :akko_fingerguns:
